Generic list post: february 2016

What did the Atlantic ocean say to the Pacific ocean?
Nothin', they just waved to each other.
Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when Waviness went mainstream. You can find a handful of these joints on my latest Zippyshare compilation if you so desire. If not, there's always my AZ deep cuts playlist instead.

Boone - Pop A Perc (2015)
J. Stalin ft. L'Jay - Instagram Gangstaz (2015)
G-Eazy ft. Starrah - Order More (2015)
Kevin Gates - Hard For (2016)
Curren$y & Alchemist - Vibrations (2016)
Rich Homie Quan - Stay Down (Martorialist Edit) (2016)
Mr Fingers - Qwazars (2016)
Spice - Born Wid It (2016)
Dexta Daps - Chinese Jordan (2016)

Other notables: can't fault Slappin' by E-40, Nef The Pharaoh & the Cha Cha kid for doing what it says on the tin, but the similar Big Von song with D-Lo & Husalah is like a stroll on the Moon - all bump and no atmosphere; if 30 Hours is one of the supposed highlights from the new KanYe album then I probably don't need to investigate any further; I dunno why everyone reckons Desiigner is Future's Action Bronson analogue because that Panda song sounds more like every other ersatz-Giggs U.K road-rap tune to me.

"What kinda women gives her number to a man with a du-rag on?" indeed

Just discovered a new sub-genre of Soundcloud alt-R&B where aspiring fake-Aaliyah singers remix A-Wax songs to sound like sanitary towel commercials. I shit you not, get a load of this Trust Issues remake by some wench called Analise:

Analise - Trust Issues Remix
(From Soundcloud; 2015/White Winter album; 2016)



Analise must be the Pie-RX Boyz equivalent of what Kehlani is to HBK Gang because Non-Stop Da Hitman re-produced this and she even has a song with A-Wax. Presumably Analise must not approve of Husalah's paperwork now she's livin' in P World, so stay tuned because she's due to start remaking Rat Poison Volume 1 deep cuts by july.

Ezale Instagram snippets are the only new rap I listen to right now, tbh

Is the chorus of this snippet right here:

Can't believe it's taken 30 years to get an Oak Town remake of 2 Live Crew's We Want Some Pussy. Transpires Ezale's own DJ Hawk Beatz was in the boiler room for this one and Day Ones rather than DJ Fresh even though both songs are from the upcoming Tonite Show album. Why are all these singles takin' dummy long to drop damnit?

J. Stalin ft. L'Jay - Instagram Gangstaz
(From Tears Of Joy album; 2015/YouTube; 2016)


What other genres have music videos where the artists perform home invasions on Instagram comment section haters? Yeah, exactly. Can't believe Stalin beat Maine Musik to the punch on the video tip, though.

Speakin' of Instagram and songs produced by DJ Fresh, Ezale's been posting more video snippets of singles from his Tonite Show album on IG. If his rap career doesn't pan out as expected, dude has a potentially bright future in the Mission Impossible franchise. Lemonade was a popular drink just like booze, Ezale got more props and self-performed stunts than Tom Cruise.

An AZ deep cuts playlist 4 u

In much the same vein as last month's Grand Puba deep cuts playlist, here's a chronological journey through the nooks and crannies of AZ's catalogue that's ended up deeper than the Great Barrier Reef. Starting in 1995 with the O.G version of Your World Don't Stop and ending in 2013 with his last good single We Movin', I went against ya whole solar system and gathered up cuts from pretty much everywhere except the 8 official AZ albums. If Biggie had "more rides than Great Adventure" then Anthony "The Visualiza" Cruz must have more raps than Great Adventures and Adventures Of Super Rhyme combined innit.


Nearly 20 years on from 1997 and we still haven't got an unedited version of the Firm Biz (World's Famous Remix). Nas stans - where ya arses at when your help is required in somehow liberatin' that shit?

EDIT: DJ Step One found it! Added it to the playlist in place of the edited version.

Martorial elegance: Drydick Rando Nubian edition

The provocateur once known as Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar, now the Roosh-V of VladTV:

PUA's Jump Up To Get Beat Down?

Strauss: The Extinction Agenda?

Actually it's about ethnics in videogame journalism?

The Misandre Way?

"U and I are gonna happen, that's just inevitability" 4real

That feeling when the G-Eazy song you've been quietly jockin' becomes an official single... not so much a personal triumph, as a victory for humanity: the more popular G-Eazy becomes, the quicker A$AP Folky Malone will be forced to piss off back to the scene with no sauce. 80% of the credit for Order More must go to Starrah and DJ Spinz via their respective work on the hook and production, neveretheless Sleazy G has an undeniable jam on his CV that's now backed by an extra saucy NSFW video.

G-Eazy ft. Starrah - Order More
(From whatever G-Eazy's last album was called; 2015)


DJ Spinz later sold an altered version of this same beat to Wiz Khalifa for that awful song with Travis $cott; overcharging the industry for what they didn't do with Travis Porter's The Money?
