Let The Homocides Begin by Top Priority & Percee P has gotta be the funniest song title typo in Rap history.
What's the last Gucci Mane song you really liked? Mines is Ring The Alarm.
2021: the year it was revealed DJ Kool Herc's nightclub stabbing happened because MC Coke La Rock had nipped home to take a shit since he didn't like the club's toilets.
Billy Jam's YouTube channel won the internet last week for uploading Digital Underground's electronic press kit and M.C Pooh's Life Of A Criminal video.
The worst decision Zev Luv DOOM ever made was thinking Popcorn was a Mr Hood-type track rather than a Black Bastards-type track and leaving it off the latter album. A particularly baffling decision considering he chopped up #actual Mr. Hood era B-side Plumskinzz and put it on Black Bastards twice.
What I'd love right now is for a great regional Rap single to come outta nowhere and take over the world like Nelly's Country Grammar (Hot Shit) did in 2000 or Rich Boy & Polow Da Don's Throw Some D's did in 2006.
Failing that, I'd settle for Eatem's Go Get Yo F*ckin' Brotha blowing up. Think of it as overcharging the industry for the way it mistreated Bailey's F*ck Yo Couch.
Did Barry Manilow know that Kurtis Blow raided his wardrobe?
This is in no way an Azealia Banks endorsement, but I hope UNiiQU3's Microdosing goes on to be the new 212.
I was wrong about They Don't Really Love Us by Phil Blunts & Black Jesus being the most Queens-soundin' Rap song to ever come from Yonkers. The answer is #actually G-Notes by Black Jesus & Snypa.
Vintage Martorialist drop.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of Nelly: I encountered this live Nelly performance of his biggest hits at the hip hop awards 2021 (whatever that may be): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SQeFvp4rY0. Truly made me appreciate his singles when played back to back, even E.I. which I was never big on. Revisited both Country Grammar and Nellyville this weekend.
Because I had a few corruped mp3s I set out to look for a better quality copy of the latter album and found this glowing review of Nellyville: https://hiphopisntdead.blogspot.com/2010/03/readers-gut-reaction-nelly-nellyville.html
And because I still haven't found a better version, this shitty story still doesn't have an ending.
oooooh life of a criminal video, thanks for the heads up
ReplyDeleteAlso, my personal absolute latest Gucci Mane track I really enjoyed probably was "Orange" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1er0H7hHAk), I still really like his effortless flow on the particularly the first verse. It's not fucking with his earlier work obviously but it still gets some burn from me.
ReplyDeleteWhoever did the clean edit for Country Grammar(Hot Shit) was an A&R genius.

ReplyDeleteThat's a good 'un.
ReplyDeletelast gucci mane song i actually liked was a tie between "finesse the plug" off his tape with metro boomin which is a quotunquote interlude (but better than any of the actual songs) or "kept back" with... lil pimp... coincidentally aLSO LIL pump's last good song
ReplyDeletesupposedly "i love it" by kanye was originally supposed to have valee on it but this is why you should never sign to GOOG music folks
p.s. 10 year anniversary for Live.Love.A$AP seems like as good a time as any to reignite you a$ap ferg beef lmao
Ferg might be the W.O.A.T New York rapper.
ReplyDeleteI think Valee was on the remix rather than the original.
He was actually on the original version. Fun Fact: the original beat for "I Love It" was actually what became Pump's song with Wayne "Be Like Me." When Valee was doing his first revision of his verse is when they switched the beat.
Deletefully relate to and endorse Coke La Rock's actions tbh.
ReplyDeleteIs there a link to a full story (guessing it's an unbearable podcast) ?
It's in his recent VladTV interview. Can't remember which video tho.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely relatable.
Plain Jane is the last Gucci song i remember liking?
ReplyDelete“Point in my life” / “hell yeah” were my last fav Gucci songs
ReplyDeleteSorry * Hell Yes
ReplyDeleteIt goes without saying that they shoulda kept Valee on there.
ReplyDeleteis the Coke La Rock shit true?
ReplyDeleteThat's what he said in the Vlad video.
ReplyDeletedavid i second "hell yes" by gucci mane... dare i say trap house 3 is underrated? kind of makes his intense influence on young thug/future/ autotune wave of rappers more explicit but somehow doesn't come across as like a lame ploy to stay relevant at all
ReplyDeleteThis feels kind of hollow now b/c of recent news, but this would've been my easy go to answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE63yCWmeEQ
ReplyDeleteI liked the latest Gucci album, thought that if that record came out in 2015 or something it'd be a massive return to form but I get why nobody bothered to check it. Was also inexplicably optimistic about the new signings but it looks like he's dropped most of them already which is infuriating.
Agreed on the Berner, Gucci and Dolph (R.I.P) song.
