i think its because pretty much all of his physical releases were either on vinyl or cassette. Its an aesthetic thing, I have most of his stuff all separated on my laptop

it's pretty dope so far: im 4 mins in, u said lil ugly mane produced some of this?

all of it.. "ALL OF BEATS WERE PROVIDED BY SHAWN KEMP"

Shawn Kemp is what Ugly goes by when he produces

didnt know this, yea i definitely got a vibe of his cloudy beats tbh. s***s fire bro.

yeah he wrote this about the album... its a lot longer but i really liked these last two paragraphs

Trick Dice isn't really an album as much as it is a compilation. Tracks we started and finished and started over and redid and reworked, forgot and remembered, lost and found. I feel like its important for a producer to work against the MC as much as it is to work for them. I think especially when you have a MC that's as versatile as Nick you need to challenge that skill and really try to get the most original content out of them. Maybe you don't have to do that, maybe that's why i don't work with many people. Regardless, Nick was always down to spit on anything i sent over and i think we ended up with interesting tracks because of that.

Trick Dice is a dirty record. It feels mish-mashed, it feels live, it feels uncut or unedited or something. To me, listening to it conjures the imagery of what i love about Hip Hop. It's a cut and pasted scratched together, beat up composition book with a busted spine, filled to the brim with rhymes scribbled in wild handstyles and doodled bubble dollar signs. It's raw saturated blown out soul and breaks chopped through dusty speakers. Scattered styles and schemes done for no other reason than to do it. Or better yet not done at all. The rap music that you make in your head instead of doing homework, where the whole movie about your ill career plays out in front of you. I'm sure this is only what i see, but it's the only reason any of my s*** exists.

that explains why its so raw dude, i fw it so far tho

really diggin the old school vibe its got to it as well, forgot how hard NF goes in too.

2006 vibes

the track that supposedly got him shot and turned him to the GOAT

He came right out the gate with a certified classic. I miss prime 50

this song still makes me laugh... its so f***ing fire

"I'll rob Pun without a gun, snatch his piece then run
This nigga weigh four hundred pounds, how he gonna catch me, son?"

I almost started a thread about the hook on this song last night. I had just smoked and I was rolling at this s***

you shouldve..

"Caught Juvenile for his Cash Money piece
Told him I want it all, he said, "Even my gold teeth?""

so many f***ing gold bars... and i love how rappers got mad at this even when in the hook it says hes joking

“Run up on Timbaland and Missy with the pound
Like, "You, give me the cash; you, put the hot dog down’”
you’re right, the whole song is full of dope bars. He’s really been a troll from the beginning.

I've been laughing so hard at the Seinfeld joke on your profile.. OTTOMAN EMPIRE, WHAT WAS THAT A WHOLE EMPIRE BASED ON PUTTING YOUR FEET UP

Thats what the people who dont like 50s social media posts dont see

The joking/borderline bullying that 50 does is what he was doing even in his music career.

Bro is really just a throwed class clown.

That was always one of my favorite things about 50, how he just came in and made himself a huge presence instantly but was entertaining while doing it.

That joke makes me laugh every time I hear it, Idk why I find it so funny but it kills me.

Deleted my posts bc me and David P are boys now

Right

I like Rappers and personalities who show you who they really are and stay raw and consistent with it.

Thats why I can respect 2Pac, 50, Dame Dash, even controversial figures like Kanye or lesser tier artists like Cardi. No matter what you can say about them, they speak how they feel and they always give you 100% of themselves even if they are wrong.

There's no gimmick or persona that you have to be sold into, their natural selves are the basis for their personal brand and I feel that creates the strongest fan connections bc people support you bc you are you rather than it being bc they believed into how the record labels dressed them up as.
