but then things turned out the best for him. he would probably never make XXX if he did. |

He's too weird and crazy for G-Unit, or for 50... For most rap fans even. Don't get me wrong, I think he works well in a group (1train) and some groups would be more up his alley than G-Unit (like, uhh, Three Six Mafia maybe? Or Underachievers? But G-unit is straight forward thug rap. Danny is a wildcard, and 50 probably just didn't want to be upstaged. Though I have no love for skinny jeans. It's impossible to look even semi-professional in skinny pants of any kind. Loafers look awkward, and testicles tend to suffer. They are the enemy of tasteful attire. |
In fairness I think 50 is a pretty weird funny dude. Look at "how to rob" or his rick ross diss videos. Problem is, as a buz man he realized where he fits in, and just plays to his niche.

Yeah, I actually think he's pretty hilarious when he wants to be. I also think he is, or was, an exceptional rapper. But ... I think Danny Brown's more exceptional, and also more funny. But they're apples and oranges, which is probably why they'd end up killing one another if they were Batman villains. ;) |
Agreed!

Surf is growing on me.
it kinda sounds like Sesame Street music :) lol. it makes me happy. |
I watch Street Flava which comes on in Houston late Saturday nights.
D Solo has had this video show for over 20 years, first on Houston PBS, then he went to a regular syndication because too many old ladies complained about the Bootie Poppin video being aired on PBS. HA! Either way. They focus mainly on Southern rap acts, for Street Flava is the "soul of the South." Do you guys listen to these tracks? Kevin Gates - I Don't Get Tired https://youtu.be/_gB2iWln0ls Kevin Gates - Out Da Mud https://youtu.be/b-QZzVytupY WALE - Girls On Drugs https://youtu.be/MhHoJX8oIDA and this lunatic, Chedda Da Connect, who seems like a pimp who woke up feelin like he was on the Moon... Chedda Da Connect - Flicka Da Wrist https://youtu.be/RKWb9MGtVmw |
That Chedda song is everywhere lately
|
indeed. his name is hilarious.
|
Its insane to me that 36 Mafia actually put out more than one record... when their first one came out it was so ludicrously bad, they were so bad, it all screamed one hit wonder..
The wonder was how did they even have one hit to begin with? Its not like the mainstream radio crowd is fraught with smokers, snorters, and sippers who drop pills yo |
Quote:
their first album was Mystic Stylez in 1995. There was a "hit" on there? What? Anyway, their early albums are incredibly good. So yeah. I disagree with your post. |
Incredibly good and 36 Mafia are incongruent..
 |
@Rob: i've heard the Chedda song before. catchy but not something i'd bump on the regular.
Mystic Stylez is a classic. but it's a Digable Planets kind of day. :) |

your opinion is yours to have. There's lots of Three 6 stuff I love. I do some times get the feeling that you hate on stuff that you've spent little time listening to. I don't know if I'm right on this one. But you give the impression of snap judgments sometimes. |

it's not great by any means, but I dig how rappers are now proudly flying their psychedelic, drugs-other-than-coke-and-weed, freak flags. I cannot WAIT for the Butthole Surfers of rap!!! (and please, PLEASE do not respond that MFDOOM is that) |

Music is a matter of personal taste, i never found any interest in pursuing 36 Mafia clown rap any further.. you're free to dig it, im just expressing my opinion. Im notoriously picky about my rap |

I agree it's personal taste. I'm just saying I feel like your pickiness is more stubborness at times. Like, you might hear one song out of a group that has a dozen albums, but decide that they're terrible. Even though you haven't heard but the tip of the iceberg of their discography. I'm not saying that you have to be a fan. But I feel like you write off something pretty quickly - and even here admit that you didn't pursue very far - yet, then call it "clown rap" or whatever dismissive comments you might make, which seems unfair if you really haven't taken the time to check it out and see if you're opinions actually match your assumptions. |
Nope,ive heard entire 36 mafia records.. still not interested.. i dont take my dissing music lightly, i check shit out, especially in the youtube era when ots easy to find access
|
alright well (huge) diff of opinion then.
Currently my fav Three 6 album is their 2nd one, The End: Quote:

word. And I wasn't coming at you - just more curious how much Three 6 you've heard while making these statements. I've been in a huge Three 6 phase lately tho. Besides The End, bumping Mystic Stylez, Unbreakables, Most Unkown Hits, Smoked Out Loc'ed Out + chopped n screwed disc... I think a lot of stuff I love now (A$AP Mob!) has its roots firmly in Three 6 (...or maybe Three 6 mashed w/ Bone Thugs?).
|
Wait, Three Six Mafia screamed "one-hit wonder" at the time of their first album? Meaning Mystic Stylez, the punishing, grimy, violent independent hardcore rap album from 1995?
I love that album, but I can't imagine it spawning anything resembling an actual hit. I wasn't into them, or any rap that wasn't from the 5 Burroughs back when the album was first released, so maybe I'm fuzzy on the detail. But... Jesus, please help me understand how that record produced a hit! Fast forward a decade and yeah, they had some hits. Not to mention an Oscar win, which is even more impressive than Trent Reznor's. I too love the End. Gotta be my favorite album by Three 6 as well. Gotta love UGK and Juicy J killin' it on ALLA. |
My bad you anally retentive fuggs.. i meant first record that made noise.. here in LA we didn't hear bout these dudes until When The Smoke Clears.. their early shit is less bad but still not my thang
|
on the subject - the new Mafia 6ix album is really good. Even has Lord Infamous on it. No Gangsta Boo tho :(

I'm not being snarky, I really didn't know! I told you man, I was not into that kind of rap in '95, so I have no idea one way or another. |
listening to Shabazz Palaces. how cool is it that Ishmael from Digable Planets still remains a top notch artist 20 years later?
|

Dude, I know! I was all over Lese Majesty for a bit in 2014. Thought it might be a contender, at least for my top 10. But I overdid it. Nobody else here was really into it and I lost interest after a while. I don't think I played it at all for the last few months of the year. They are good though. In their adopted home of Seattle, WA, they're just friggin huge. I do sometimes get a bit irritated when people go on and on about how original they are. They definitely are extremely talented, and their records defy categorization, but I hear a lot of Anti-Pop Consortium influence in their music. And APC is an excellent and groundbreaking hip-hop group that has been overlooked and underrated by US audiences for the entirety of their career. |
i'll be honest, Lese Majesty doesn't do much for me yet.
Black Up is a classic though, up there with the best rap albums i've heard from this decade. |
 have you guys heard this classic?? |
Quote:
I don't think I'd call it a classic. But damn good album. |
Quote:
Hell yeah! After hearing Count Bass D's guest verses on Mm.. Food??, I dug into this album and really fucking loved it. I would call it a classic, but it's kind of a relic from my backpacker era. I never expected anyone in the café to share my appreciation for it. Another album that's like that is Beauty and the Beat by Edan. Really incredible, at the time it was probably my favorite hip-hop record. But Edan faded into obscurity and kinda stopped making music for some reason, which is sad. But anyone who's interested in trippy psychedelic genius level hip-hop should certainly spend some time listening to Edan's first two records. |
Ok, Rocky's totally delivering a Kanye flow on "Back Home," especially the first verse. Seriously. Sounds good, like a trap Late Reg. cut.

How much do you guys think Niki Minaj gets paid for throw-away, phone-it-in (literally) "contributions" to shitty songs like this one?

"So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie? But my features and my shows ten times your pay? 50K for a verse, no album out" |
what a joke.

Jesus. All the ranting that people make about rap being shit because of this and that is summed up right there in that song. And with that, I feel it makes it harder for people like Kendrick, Pharohe Monch etc. to get taken seriously and show that rap can be a force for good (cringe) and actually have a lot of interesting things to say. |
