Nowt by Lil' Peep because the one song of his I liked was ruined by the guest bloke who sounded like someone from a Pitchfork podcast.
28 comments:
Has any mc ever littered their verses with their own name as much as Pacewon? He was killing around '97, with all those Pacewon rhymes.
I should probably add that I used BigSleep's They Reminisce blog for reference here.
i like the guest verse on 'girls' its a good contrast, not someone you'd want to hear a full album from but a solid guest verse as those go
As well as sounding like some corny Pitchfork podcaster that Horsehead lad also ruins the whole sanging vibe of Girls.
Stop producers rapping on their songs, imho. Did ppl learn nothing from the time Alchemist damn near ruined Hold You Down?
Didn't know Gov Mattic died. Do you have any info?
been waiting to see if we'd get one of your patented "why couldn't god have taken ____ instead of ____" posts since i heard the news about lil peep
God bless the dead (top 3 Pac choon btw)
R.I.P. Eastside Stevie: ASAP Yams - Thugged Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSVdEMxBfdI
And Lil Snupe - Intro (to DJ Mustard: Ketchup) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7TrurY2M_s
Whose death inspired one of Meek's best songs IMO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUaYU2KQoSs
Speaking of Killa Sha that new post humous album that just came out is dope.
Few more:

Well technically those are producers/deejays but still....
This is a real trip down sad blog post memory lane!
(I only liked one lil peep song too, but I've gained an appreciation for him thanks to Thomas and David Drake, and I felt sad and kind of touched (no sexual misconduct victim) reading his obituary. But when that "horsehead" guy popped into the "Girls" video you linked I burst into a cleansing, mean-spirited cackle.)
Just realised you already posted ketchup intro,deepest apologies
Why couldn't God have taken Horsehead instead of Lil' Peep?™
I got no idea how Gov Mattic died, just remember a handful of R.I.P posts.
Biggest producer loss since this site went live has to be Larry Smith. Supa Villain would be the most promising loss.
And, of course, R.I.P to Matthew Africa, Yams, and Gary Warnett.
I did not know June 27th came from a Kriss Kross song!
No Doughboy Roc?

P Folks
P Folks you fuckers, P Folks, I don't get how everyone is still sleeping on that album, really don't understand it
I take it you’re not a fan of LA Capone (“round here”) or Young Pappy (“phones”)
Rymsnitch AND Turd Butt in the same comments?
Maximum mobmusik synergy.
Post is a reminder that Jadakiss has an insane amount of quotables but is unfairly dismissed due to his inability to make a solid album
Ah what P Folks died? :(
yeah, check how everyone loses their shit when the p folks verse comes on

So, who's gonna make a Girls edit without Horsehead's verse?
Only current rapper with a lisp we acknowledge is Queen Key.
ah true, RIP Koopsta (+ George)
