Rich Homie Quan - Heart Cold (2017, video)

[damnheresatissue]

Why is Louisiana on everyone’s minds the past few years? I only got real into Peewee and he had a rap retirement, thankfully it was short.

Peewee Longway - Master Peewee

MC Breed - Pass the Funk ft. George Clinton (90s?, video) 

Dunno where this is from. 

I’m p sure Kokane’s singing style was more based off George’s 90s rap feature drug devastated throat than any of the classics. Baking soda free.

Slim 400 -Bruisin feat. YG & Sad Boy

Class remake of Back To The Hotel. Throwback YG is the best at it.

C-Bo - Bang On Em (2016, youtubes)

Produced by The Mekanix. The synth heres a homage/redo of some classic I cant place at all, its def been in rap songs.

Pharcyde freestyle on Friday Night Flavas, 1993

Unexpected shout outs for various reasons w Souls Of Mischeif and Fat Joe here. See, when people make it up as they go along you get the likes of “I got the AIDS” and “i aint got no cotex cos i aint bloody/ cos im not bloody i just get muddy/ then i get watery”

Ice Cube & EPMD - St Ides commercial 1991

Cube must have the St Ides ad record, hes got like 4 or 5. 

Kinda related, Ice Cube was asked the question twice within a year - “uh...... remember when you were young and idealistic and incapable of predicting the future? you dont have to remember, theres a music video!” Are there rap journalists to trust atm other than Nore and Snoop?

Special Ed - Im The Magnificent (1990, live)

[damnheresatissue]

Master P recording There Dey Go

Different take too

Suga Free (from the same session as Do It Like Im Used To It)

"your momma told you that your pussy was a tool 

but that bitch forgot to tell you who to play for a fool

 if she stay out my business for 12 hours and mind her own for twelve 

she would have 24 hours of straight hell”

 “they represent a n**ga that could take the wet from water and the dry from sand”

For someone so bit quotable it still doesnt feel right picking and choosing when his big pictures are so good. Theres another clip of him from the same great youtube channel where he nails maintaining the same cadence while going off the top thats something special. He does his own version of the tried and tested “my man in the reeboks, right, to the side of me” street performer trust exercise but in one of the least trite, most natural ways Ive ever seen, its cool. Like a literal lower case c conversation, Im sure urban dictionary has links to youtube videos with dead eyed lads in furry fedoras, defining what that word is in sentences that run on an infinite loop of pretty nonsense but he demonstrates it pretty clearly in under a minute - listening, reacting and turning thin air solid.

Gigilo Tony - Like I Do

[damnheresatissue]

20 min Rae Sremmurd Westwood freestyle

masterpiece

“you know its official, fuck them n**as talking shit like we aint real good with that pencil”

 from the face

Sleepy Ru - Foreal ft. Zone 6 Sosa (2015)

[damnheresatissue]

Sometimes you hear about people learning english through telly or film or music or like the lil combatant bork w the War & Peace(The Peace Disc) tee in Behind Enemy Lines, rap music. It may be the one with the most words, least interfered with by melody/effects(last century anyways) and in the right light, the one w the least ambiguous concepts but its clearly the advanced course. The many words make it most representative of english by default but so does all the dunn language, plus theres just more lines to read between. 

Fair play to all them Japanese teens who could stand in as hype man, humbling people from actual rapland since they got passports, who managed to not drown in fifty fathoms of context and stupid words for shit theres already words for. pre-2000 people for everyone but heavily seasoned students to build up to first before building with:

Tragedy Dru Down Brother J E-40 Raekwon Plugs One & Two especially Two

LL is not on the reading list

[damnheresatissue]

Larry/Real Live were rly lost in the sands

he was a very good understated rapper. Never realised before but hes totally in the Trag “show dont tell" barrage of imagery+ jargon QB lane
