#Rap Album One

[tgcg]

do you think dave would listen to tyler the creator

fuck yeah. tho personally i associate tyler da creator more with dirk, that kinda sound. same w stuff like childish gambino. but i do think dave would like tyler da creator bc he rules objectively & i think dave and dirk could bond over music a lot.

otherwise i persanally hc hed be more into relatively earlier hip hop w heavy sampling & record scratch shit. & more underground/unconventional kinds of stuff, w a lot of punch&crunch on the percussion. been compelled 2 make another playlist 4 this shit bc ive been thinking abt it sm. sorry 4 hijanking the ask l0l, thanx for asking me...

Today in Hip Hop History:

Brand Nubian released their debut album One For All December 4, 1990

I hate the critique that MANIA is overproduced when it’s literally just a different sound. It’s not overproduced, it’s just more electronic than some of their previous music, even though fall out boy had already been introducing that kind of sound into their music prior. Just because you don’t like the genre or sound, doesn’t mean it was a badly written and produced album like… jeez

The way my fav songs from 2 months ago started like this and changed to this

[dumbnotstupidfuck]

rant below i just needed to get this out lmao

just got into an argument with a queer swiftie over dismissing future, metro, schoolboy q, and gunna as unknown artists and now my brain is about to explode

“ttpd is the only album released this year still being talked about” was the tipping point

how can someone center whiteness THAT much when I’ve been seeing SO MANY ppl talk about we don’t trust you, blue lips, and one of wun (granted i am on hip hop twt but still)

ALL of those albums debuted in the top 15. one of wun and wdty debuted in the top 2!

THE DRAKE AND KENDRICK BEEF OFFICIALLY STARTED FROM LIKE THAT OFF WDTY

the obsession white queers have with centering whiteness in music specifically should be studied bc idk what’s wrong with us, it’s so embarrassing

Money On My Brain - Kool G Rap

from wikipedia: Kool G Rap is regarded as a hugely influential golden age rapper. Music journalist Peter Shapiro suggests that he "created the blueprint for Nas, Biggie and everyone who followed in their path". Kool G is described by Kool Moe Dee as "the progenitor and prototype for Biggie, Jay-Z, Treach, N.O.R.E., Fat Joe, Big Pun, and about twenty-five more hard-core emcees", and Kool Moe Dee also claims Kool G Rap is "the most lyrical" out of all of the artists mentioned. MTV describes Kool G Rap as a "hip-hop godfather", adding that he paved the way for a lot of MCs who we would not have heard of otherwise. Rolling Stone says, "G Rap excelled at the street narrative, a style that would come to define later Queens MCs like Nas (who was hugely influenced by G Rap on his early records) and Mobb Deep".

my hypster magazine finally came in the mail lmao and man the special feature talking about how the world is coping without mics is very interesting??? like:

crime as a whole is at an all time high

within ikebukuro, the police are doing fck all about it so the bb have volunteered their services to making the civilians feel safe

ichiro’s been a mediator within more casual disputes, expressing his desire to talk things thru if possible, jiro’s got his whole high school as a neighbourhood watch and saburo’s set up a huge surveillance system to keep watch

in yokohama, the sea port has been particularly targeted and the report says the police and yakuza have teamed up to protect the flow of commerce. katengumi has stepped up to protect the territory and rio is keeping watch via satellite images and drones

in shibuya, dice complains of disruptions in gambling dens and the lack of real gambling has dulled his senses lol. he’s trying to compensate by making his own gambling game lol and he hasn’t been able to pay his phone bill due to lack of funds so he hasn’t been able to talk to ramuda or gentaro

curiously, neither of those two were mentioned in the article, save for dice using the section to try to reach out to them

in shinjuku, the day is desolate and the night scene is busier than ever. doppo’s company has been particularly hit by logistics nightmares as they’re haemorrhaging money due to lost medical equipment. (doppo’s boss has been accusing him of stealing funds and doppo claps back asking what exactly has he been managing currently lol)

shinjuku central hospital has been at full capacity with patients due to the inability to fend off armed criminals. fragrance has seen a significant uptick in patrons

in osaka, businesses have taken a sharp turn towards maliciousness, with scams at an all time high. sasara and rosho advise not to go out at night alone, and rosho, as a teacher, further explains that adults have a duty to protect minors, especially as a person who has been affected by scams in the past. neither sasara nor rosho have heard from rei in a long while, stating dh is on hiatus because of it

in nagoya, petty crimes are up because there seems to be a restlessness amongst them without the mics giving the populace the power to stand out. hitoya himself watched a dude climb up nagoya castle literally for the memes. the court of law has been barren as of late so nobody is being tried for crimes but he believes justice will prevail in due time

kuukou and jyushi have taken up patrolling nagoya in order to persuade others into not doing crimes and all three of them still practice rap battling together

[callixton]

[georgecostanzaatemysoup]

Honestly, I think Kendall should just become Stewy's trophy husband now that he is unemployed.

[themachine]

Hi! Yes!

Today in Hip Hop History:

Boogie Down Productions released their fourth album Edutainment July 17, 1990

[bronzetomatoes]

i dont really fw songs like Rap God or a lot of his newer shit where the goal is just to rap at the speed of sound tbh. like yes it's very impressive but like i find it loses a lot of swag and coolness like brother where is the flow. it is white noise over a beat i can't even make out the words 😭

[stgroversfire]

honestly i had to go and listen to like 20 other genres of music before i could circle back and really appreciate tøp

[knaveofmogadore]

Spotify has me like "Is there an algorithmic bias, or have I been in the same marketing group so long that the algorithm is fighting against me exploring new music"

[reamed]

grrr
