i done an experiment last night where i played a lotof my favourite newish things to my mate who only seems to listen to homeboy sandman records. young thug was the only thing he liked/was willing to engage with
he made the link to the sing-jay thing and mused about whether it was even rapping anymore
and said he thought thug having a more traditional counterpoint alongside, TI for exmaple, made both of them sound better as it throws each approach into releif.
good experiment. enjoyed it.

What didn't he like and what didn't he like about it?

I swear autotune is one of the best things to happen to rap music in the last five-ten years? Has offered a path for evolution.

mistersloane posted that tune last year, and then i did a few months after. you didnt like it at the time.

i was quite drunk last night so icant quite remember everything i played him but probably a lot of chief keef. he refused to engage with anything except young thug basically, just wouldnt even try and hear it

Lil Bibby & Lil Herb - Ain't Heard Bout You (Kill Shit Pt. 2) (2015)

These two are both taken from The Martorialist's recent compilation of 2015 rap songs, which is ace from start to finish.

Also, that first Fetty Wap track has dominoed ''Trap Queen'' for me and I finally get it.

I've been having a bit of a break from rap but this mostly means I've just been listening to Barter 6 over and over again. The beats are suprisingly understated but I think Thug just kills.

Can anyone point me towards some good trap mixes? I know I'm about ten years behind on this but I just heard that 'Turn Down for What' tune and now I'm addicted. I want more.

Everyone is influenced by YG in California. He is arguably the only actual voice of West Coast rap anymore. He's single handedly revitalized the genre (no, not Kendrick, Keenon)

But League Of Starz are contemporaneous producers. Jay Nari produced for YG before Mustard did.

Cheers for the info, got any Starz recommendations?

Is Game actually still relevant? His music seems to still pop up quite a bit but he sounds so dated. It's like Ludacris almost.

Game is your embarrassing dumb uncle, and you feel guilty for wishing he would get his third strike and finally get locked up for good, cos it would make kwanzas so much less stressful.

League of Starz made a compilation tape last year of loose ends promoting themselves. I've yet to give it a proper listen because it involves tagging the MP3s but it seemed strong.

They're also closely tied into Problem's career.
