The Jerk part 2

"One call, they pull up fast
Wrong move that pistol blast
I'm dressed in all black, match my glock, I think I'm Shaft"


YG - Swag
(From My Life 4 Hunnid album; 2020)




Also feelin' this recent YG single on the 2Pac Jerkur tip, although I can't decide whether it's Jerk in Future-Swag clothing or Future-Swag disguised as Jerk? Either way, goin' back to the future has worked a treat on this and Out On Bail. Homie shoulda brought his Le Coq Sportif sweatsuit from the Toot It And Boot It video back for this one.

Cot damn, the new album tracklist looks like yer bogstandard major label spreadsheet-soundin' bullshit, though. Just what 2020 needs - another Rap album featuring Chris Brown, Tyga, Gunna, and Lil' Tjay.

  2. Disappointing tracklist indeed, but let's be honest: 3 YG slaps in 2020 are 3 more than expected at the start of the year. Haven't listened to "Swag" yet though.

  3. Realest shit you ever wrote, Yohan.

    GGGG, better yet Faze and Tay F 3rd.

  4. ^ It might be, because my carefully thought out critique of that new Nas atrocity (as if the world needs more Nas thinkpieces) on Philaflava got a co-sign from that smurf Wicked, which kinda invalidated its entire point.

  5. 😄 A Wicked cosign is definitely the Mark of Cain innit?

  6. Honestly I'm not normally checking for a Weezy track in 2020 but "Blood Walk" has a good bounce to it and like dueling jazz flutes. I feel like this album's gonna be pretty solid overall.

  7. That's pretty much the only other track on there I like.

    He did a Bounce song with some lass which didn't make the album.
