and this is also timely because to go back to a figure we've talked about before this is a large reason why alot of people from difference scenes in different countries cannot stand Drake you would like Sauce Walka,shaka

but certain rappers making more accesible versions of microscene/regional sounds really isn't new nor is the other version where one rapper from that particular scene is cherrypicked to be the representitive of it. E-40 is still the first rapper to comes to mind for people when they think of...

@shakahislop the guy who made this beats imo is pivotal to understanding WLR and why it got some of the response it did. he's worked with rappers like Lucki, Black Kray(one of two people who i could pin down as being the creator of "emo rap" the other guy being the son of Tommy Hilfiger) and...

i don't think its ugly but he just got out of jail and not only that because he lost all the drug/lean weight his enunciation and diction sound alot less mushy compared to how he sounded on his best work. Fucking Jay Z's first number 1 was Empire State of Mind and NOBODY who considered...

nah i don't and making an approachable version of an existing sound isn't new either. I'm not a fan of alot of Young Thug's "sons" (lil baby,gunna,recently deceased lil keed etc) because what they all do is take one aspect of a sound that he engaged with and make that their whole thing, which...

like look i don't like My Chemical Romance and its especially alienating cause now people in my age group are being targeted with nostalgia tour shit the way they parents did with Ratt and Motley Crue and all dem bands there. I suppose my equivalent was the grime nostalgia stuff but it feels...

you wanna know why we advocate for that its because a big part of talking about music IS discussing stuff that you don't like and not only that but social media makes you have to come up close and direct (at least as close as it can do for you) with people for who this stuff has meaning and...

@shakahislop and lastly this feeling of newness it doesn't just apply to "current" music it's also a feeling you can get from listening to old music that is new to you and the more you listen to that the more you realise how cyclical it all is and you figure out what songs they're making...

part of the reason i like Key Glock is cause yes he is working in that Memphis rap production style that's been influenced by Atlanta as of late but the kind of beats he picks(some of them produced by go to producer Bandplay) are off set by this often interesting production decisions whether it...

@shakahislop maybe you're not so much a rap fan as more somebody whose into pop music and how rap works in around that which is fine i get that but alot of poptimist types know FUCK ALL about rap music and if anything feel petrified to even talk about it because they feel like their knowledge on...

also like @shakahislop if you're just gonna focus on that particular level of rap in that manner you're both gonna miss out on alot of good interesting music that doesn't fit in those margins and frankly never will and this is how alot of johnny come lately rappers who make more approchable...

This is why me Third and Crowl got so aggravated with Barty when he kept trying to say Migos were singular pioneers in ATL rap because if anything they're more at the arse end of rappers who came up from within that scene and world and while they did put out some solid tunes if anything they...

i mean lets face it all facets of rap fandom have their strict parameters of what they want and how it should sound whether it be people who've been making music for 30 years or not and super popular rap is the last place to look for that exception, i remember one guy i briefly talked to on...

@suspended are you sure you wasn't mean to put all of that in a different thread?

it's an absurdly high bar but it also happens less often than alot of people would like and when they hear it their first response is usually "this is the worst shit i've ever heard in my life" and with rappers they usually would've give the time of day. more often than not @shakahislop i think...

It is very much a movie about the porn industry made a total prude and not only that the incest undertones are very pungent

I think this is a bit reductive considering James basically made the formula for the ghost story aswell as the fact that he grew up a small parish village in Kent, antiquarian mediavalist scholar factors into that also and i think this might be crucial but James intented for his stories to be...
