This is kind of random but just looked at 2010’s Hip Hop Essentials playlist on Apple and there is not one song from before like 2015
Lame
go to the hip hop/r&b one
idk why but the essentials are always ass
this was the hashtag flow S*** was used by every mainstream rapper for a moment
Swimmin in the money, come and find me…..Nemo
If I was at the club, you know I balled…… chemo
also rihanna has been hinting at music the entire time
That’s different from an official statement, revealing to fans her work process and explicitly promising new music
it gets to a point where she would clearly rather do anything but release new music. same w frank. like these mfs do not care about that s***
You act like you know these people Frank just lost his brother. Not releasing music doesn’t mean they don’t care about it and have not been actively working
Cause the blog and tumblr era doesn’t exist to the masses lmaoo which is still insane to me. It’s like they see it as we went from ringtone raps to dj mustard’s takeover
blog era was so cool cause the artist actually had communities they f***ed with on the internet like a genuine relationship/understanding , unlike now where it’s just twitter trolls and stan’s who seem really annoying
I'm different by 2 Chainz. Damn near the whole beat has it in the background
okay yea i figured it was the "hype" sound effect
section 80 is unlistenable dog water
I fw ADHD and Hol Up but yeah never got into S80 at all
Section 80 and lo fi beats in general
i revisit that album more than any kendrick album maybe it’s just bc it came out when i was so young but no other kendrick album does it for me like that
Pause stop flow
I get high….BALLOONS
Test me and guns get drawn like cartooooooons. D’OH!
Blog and Tumblr era is def true underground.
Odd Future, Gambino, Wiz, Asher Roth, Mac Miller, Big Krit, Wale, Azelia, and so many people in so many different pockets of hip-hop only remembered through Youtube comments.
Also, doesn't help that mixtapes don't really exist on streaming for that period of time.
also whatever mixtapes comes out on streaming aren’t the same because of samples. look at return of 4eva and kush and oj some classic songs got ruined
Yeah I saw them both too but revisiting any of it that wasnt cream of the crop (flume, major Lazer) just sounds like ass
That style was too clean for me. A little bit too commercial sounding. I liked the earlier stuff a little more.
Major Lazer also fell off after that first classic album.
White guys rapping over Aloe Blacc's I Need a Dollar
Chris Webby... name alone is a time machine
His 6 man flow was godly
As for trends, that early 2010s all leather everything with gold chains aged pretty bad
That style was too clean for me. A little bit too commercial sounding. I liked the earlier stuff a little more.
Major Lazer also fell off after that first classic album.
I liked a ton of it, not so much anymore. Only future bass I really enjoyed this year was flumes 2 albums... Of course both nothing but old music lmao
Agreed on major no clue why tf the fall was so sudden. Least I saw them in 2016
Op imagine hearing this flow and thinking “this is not hard”
