yeah. :D

i think that Nast is the next one to come up from A$AP. his style seems to be more 90's influenced boom-bap.

Best trap album since Flockaveli. ASAP FERG go hard

forgot how much I love this album.

Nope. Found a totally legit mix right away, with cover art everything.
I did download it right away, because I'd been intrigued by the first volume. It's a mix tape, though, so it should be free. Google creative control.

I'm not really digging Trap Lord yet. It's kind of "mistaboombastic" if you know what I mean. I like the crazy, hazy, apocalypse-on-Molly samples that burst into the tracks and throw the song off for a second, but the lyrics and phrasing are going to take some getting used to.

haven't heard Trap Lord or Doris yet. I will soon enough.

You will enjoy Doris. It is a remarkably substantive record from Odd Future related, Earl Sweatshirt was always the better of those dudez, but this is a seriously fantastic record. The beats are creative, new, and enticing. The flow is on point. The lyrics are a Kurt Cobain blend of surreal, substance, and satire. I LOVE it! I Have to buy it from a non-iTunes merch since they took down the sound cloud preview..


I can't stand Trap Lord, or most of A$AP Ferg even if he has the E-40 game certified approval. But then again, I don't really like trap, and MC Tree's "soul-trap" is just enough soul, just minus enough high-hats and clicks ;)

Spoke too soon :cool:

hell yeah. i used to doubt A$AP. but Rocky's album is better than the mixtape, TRAP LORD goes hard, and even their collab tape LORD$ NEVERY WORRY ain't half as bad as i thought when it came out. right now i think that these guys are the best crew out. they might not be as talented as Black Hippy or have big names like GOOD Music, but damn they're killing it! they're making fun music and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

btw i wouldn't call Ferg's music strictly "trap" but w/e.

A real trap ;)

^wtf?

Drake's "Nothing Was the Same" album cover:



deluxe:

bumping some old Weezy atm. "No Ceilings" was his gift before falling off the face of the earth, such a dope tape.

Fantastic interview with LA legend (well Dallas transplant like Scarface but made his career in LA) The D.O.C about his roles in creating NWA, Ruthless, and in part Death Row Records. He dishes a lot of street and back room shit from the 80s/90s west coast rap drama, and some of it is tainted by a bit of hubris, but I can tell you certainly that there is A LOT of truth in what he is saying. Essentially, The D.O.C is calling out names, and rightfully so. EVERY cat who bumped LA rap in the late 1980s knew that D.O.C was the best rapper and writer in the scene, and he was involved writing for NWA and later Dre/Death Row music that went super-Platinum. In a weird way, he is the origin of the 1990s. This is a MUST read if y'all don't know all this shit that has become LA street lore and the kind of gossip I grew up on.

thanks, that was a great read. D.O.C gotta be one of the greatest hip-hop lyricists ever. wish he talked more about Pac's murder though, seems like he knows a lot.

hell yeah, No Ceilings was great. Though I do have a fondness for Rebirth, IANAHB and Carter IV. Can't deny.

Truth be told, even IANAHB2 has grown on me. Still his weakest in forever. But there's some good tracks on there. Oh well.
