youngallah posted:What does this mean? Lil B has actual talent and originality? How do you judge that? Just because somebody puts out a tape a day doesn't mean that they are suddenly the most creative artist on the planet. How is Riff Raff a "music executive's idea of a swag rapper" any more or less than Lil B? What deeper messages lie in Lil B's work that is absent in Riff Raff's music that makes you believe that Lil B will stand the test of time, whereas Riff Raff will be regarded as a one hit wonder oddity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=corY-FZAZog But he's got his own thread so I'll leave it at that. snyprmag fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jun 1, 2012 |

snyprmag posted:Lil B wrote a book, gave a lecture at NYU, charted a new age album, gets props from tons of successful rappers and made this: The NYU lecture was put on by a student organization. He was not invited by the actual university. But I'm sure it doesn't matter to his fans. I heard his verse on the 9th wonder joint and wasn't particularly impressed. I'll give this video a listen and see what I think. The book and the album doesn't really impress me because anybody with the right connects/buzz can do that poo poo. I will admit that he seems like a good person, hence why everybody fucks with him, but I'm not attacking Lil B. I just don't see a difference between his songs and Riff Raffs songs. e: after listening to the song, I can see your point in that Lil B talks about a wider varety of subjects than Riff Raff does. But I don't necessarily see that as a reason or excuse why he should be taken more seriously as an "artist" when Lil B even says himself in the song you posted that people need to stop judging others based on the Internet. e2: so this post is not completely devoid of content, my homies Kydd and Max Frost dropped a new single a couple of days ago.

I love Lil B and all, but the fact he wrote a book that is probably bad (haven't read it, but if someone has and wants to correct me that's fine too) and gets big ups from famous rappers doesn't sell him in my book. And I don't like Riff Raff ironically, I really think these songs are the jams (second song is not really rap): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfwTdqIyxws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSaVoZauuJc Even if you don't like him (understandable) calling him a minstrel show, implying that hes any kind of racist or whatever seems like you're doing a bit of exaggerating. an skeleton fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Jun 2, 2012 |

Riff raff is much, much better than Lil B, comedy wise and actually appealing to listen to wise, so is Dirt Nasty and Andy Milonakis

Lil B is not a comedy act, and I can say without a trace of irony that his body of work is one of the greatest things to happen to hip hop in years. That said, I can get why people hate him. For me, there was a moment where he 'clicked' if that makes sense. My first exposure to him was the video for Ellen Degeneres, which I loudly derided (and have come to love) and somewhere around I'm Gay Lil B just started making perfect loving sense to me.

youngallah posted:"- A freestyle rapper under the name "Texas Tornado," Riff Raff has the MTV logo tattooed on his neck. Lil B was a drug dealer who went to jail as a minor and turned his life around. Riff Raff is just peacocking to get a career. Andy and Dirt Nasty are funny as hell don't judge them based on Riff Raff. This conversation wasn't taking place when Dirt Nasty was trying to make Chain Swangaz take off, which is why Riff Raff is in this group. Its hard to not have an opinion on him but you need to keep in mind that hating him based on a persona and prior musical releases isn't really a good way of judging him as a person.

Anyway Oh you mean here: quote:Riff Raff is just peacocking to get a career. Pretty sure you said that. Any way I like Lil B and Riff Raff and they are both exploiting flamboyant imagery in order to further their careers. One thing I think Riff Raff has on B though is occasionally I actually wish B was a little less ramble-y; like on his Wayne feature I'll admit I think he could have capitalized on that moment a little more.

When I say his flow is awesome, I'm thinking about "Marc Jacobs", where his flow is the same as Fat Pat's on "Wanna be a Baller". I know whereof I'm speaking.

Yeah so most anything of Curren$y's older poo poo is better than Stoned Immaculate. Production and lyrics lacking. Oh well. here have a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vHLN-cFY3Q TenaciousTomato fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Jun 3, 2012 |

Still on my first listen, but I'm liking it more than anything he's done since at least Covert Coup or maybe even the Pilot Talks. I'm pretty sure this is Spitta's best album. I'm just about through my first listen and there hasn't been a wack track yet. That loving beat on Showroom.  fakeedit: oh hey guy above me. Well, you've got Pilot Talk III coming later this year if you're craving that lounge-y atmosphere.

I want another album with alchemist tho He needs to slow his output from like five mixtapes a year down to three, spend the extra time polishing his lyrics (dude can put out some gems when he wants - She Don't Want A Man is probably one of the better story raps to come out in years), and keep the list of producers per album to a minimum. But hey, he obviously still has a ridiculous work ethic and probably makes more money doing it this way so more power to him. But drat, three solid albums per year with one producer per album would own. Alchemist, Ski Beatz, and um Monsta Beatz or one of those guys from a few years back.

Who's doing socially-conscious rap these days? I'm thinking something like Food for Animals or Like Water for Chocolate-era Common. I guess that's a pretty broad spectrum, but let's go with it.

I take my previous comment back, new Aesop Rock track played on Australian radio today, I'm now not as enthusiastic that it's going to turn out well. But still Aesop Rock on the radio is a win.

Normally I'd say Big Krit, the TDE dudes, or Killer Mike but based on the artists you named I'll have to say Shabazz Palaces is probably what you're after.

Really wanted one of those trays but I pre-ordered from Amazon like a chump (was doing it with Live From The Underground). TSI didn't grab me at all from the stream, although I like the Wale song more now. I'm still waiting for my CDs to come through, will probably be another couple of days.
