Lil B came up through the web. Rocky came up through the NYC underground. Two totally different influences.
The NYC underground is one of the biggest scenes in the states currently. This is why Rocky is hot.
No, lol. The internet crushes any underground scene.
Rocky came up through the web too, don't kid yourself. The power of the web >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NYC
You ever been to a GHE20 G0TH1K show?

There is no "NYC" Underground, lol. There's no venues!Lil B came up through the web. Rocky came up through the NYC underground. Two totally different influences.

I haven't, but I'm not nearly as cool or hip as you.You ever been to a GHE20 G0TH1K show?
UGK. Always.Any suggestions of old school southern rap?
There is barely an underground in NYC and Brooklyn shows barely help you gain a buzz really. He blew up thanks to Purple Swag and Peso.
Edit - Rocky is as good as Q on Brand New Guy but Q does have the hardest verse on the album... probably one of the best this year for me.
We'll just agree to disagree. When Schoolboy Q comes on is when the song really shows its potential.
As for southern rap suggestions: What Lambtron said, also Eightball & MJG, and Scarface
since when do ny crowds appreciate southern rap? especially in the underground?
didnt they boo even krit?
classic southern rap:
tela
geto boys
zro
ugk
master p/ no limit
old cmr
8ball
suc
list goes on and on, you need to be abit more specific

holy fucking shit @ lil wayne's numbers.

The most surprising to me is that Rihanna isnt doing better.
She has over saturated the market, and by now people realize her albums aren't good. They're just buying singles
UGK. Always.

Anyone else see Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg on Fallon the other night? It was confusing and just terrible. So bad
This same dude went on and on about how everyone who liked that last Burial album was a poser and were totally wrong and it sucked. So I'm not too shocked!You listen to Hip-Hop music, and you can't take jokes? OH LAWD! HAV MERCY!
A few more southern recommendations: Three 6 Maifa is a must, and I'm pretty partial to Project Pat's solo work specifically. He's newer but Slim Thug has a pretty classic old school southern sound on most of his albums. I really like the first Paul Wall album, it has some killer shit on it. Everything Scarface has done is worth listening to. Eightball & MJG definitely rule, too.

Damn I feel so ashamed for not mentioning Devin, oh shit guys what about Goodie Mob and Crooked Lettaz
Ashamed it took so long for a Goodie Mob rec. Soul Food and Still Standing are must haves.
Smoking Sessions w/ ASAP Rocky
TSS is one of the better rap blogs out there and they usually have good interviews so check it out.
sn: i'm rather impressed w/ how TSS has navigated the evolution of the rap blogosphere. i've been reading them since 07 and the way they operate was unbelievably different back then.

Add Bubba Sparxxx too. I know a few here say that his first two album are really good. Though I haven't listened to him myself.

I thought Deliverance was a good album but it had a fair amount of filler. Still, it's a shame he isn't still around. A Bubba/Yela song could be cool.
ASAP is definitely better than Lil B, but they are cut from a similar cloth.
Not surprised at Yela's numbers. I would feel bad if he made a decent album.
In perspective, was Radioactive any worse than Blue Slide Park? I was hoping that Yela would make a dent, but damn...

No comment on ASAP vs Q, but his music is what it is[/]. You can't chalk it all up to the production. Give those beats to Game, Lil B or whatever wack rapper and you'd see a difference. ASAP has the songwriting down. Those songs are very far from verse-hook-verse. They've all got bridges, melodies and all kinds of other nuances. The flow is just one facet of the gem.

Now I'm positive you're clueless. Most Lil B songs don't even have hooks, let alone the coherent song structure on most of LiveLove A$AP. Yall can hate on the flow if it's not your thing, but dude knows how to put a song together with the best of em. There's a reason Sony have em $3 mil.

It was definitely better than Blue Slide Park. I only gave Millers debut one go, and it wasnt good. Radioactive isnt bad, and it grows on you.
I didn't listen to it. I assume Radioactive was better? Yeah, he got it bad.In perspective, was Radioactive any worse than Blue Slide Park? I was hoping that Yela would make a dent, but damn...
I'm clueless? ASAP is the definition of an average rapper, who is made solid based the terrific production he receives. I didn't say they are the same, but they have some similarities. ASAP is a lot more talented than Lil B of course.Now I'm positive you're clueless. Most Lil B songs don't even have hooks, let alone the coherent song structure on most of LiveLove A$AP.

I think Kam is trying to say that a good song structure > the actual content and it's delivery...in ways, though I don't exactly see how you can separate delivery from structure.
Yeah, Radioactive grew on me too. I still think it falls apart after the skit, but not as bad.

All this talk of Lil B and ASAP Rocky... I'm really out of touch with this shit, they're phantoms to me.
Any good instrumental albums out this year btw? I only know of Chinoiseries Pt. II and Spiritual State.

OK, first off, if the time stamp on my post if after 3:00PM on a weekday, or anytime on a weekend, I'm high. Nothing new there.
Listen to the record again. How many of the tracks are just verse-hook-verse?
Now, whether or not you like the content is another thing entirely. Personally, it sounds like me and dude have the same CD book. I love all the influences, so it works for me.

People Under The Stairs said:Highlighter is finally coming to itunes! A special EP kicks it off with Instrumentals (yes Instros!) and also the unreleased track from promo video #1. Play like Alpha Beta and tell a friend!! ps... we are doing secret free shows in the midwest right now. Got an axe to grind so the girls can talk.
iTunes Link
I already have the album, but DAMN that Fishbucket Soundchck track sounds hot.
I hope they put out all the other instrumentals eventually.
i have to agree with kam somewhat. i still think the beat selection plays the most important to mask weaknesses or make a bad rapper enyoable(not talkin asap but rather birdman or mannie fresh) but yeah you still have to have some idea about structure and skills to make it a good song. btw i was comparing him to im gay lil b not that early horrible repulsive and awful lil b when he was just talking incoherent gibberish most of the time.

Cop Dr. No's Oxperiment and Ethiopium too if you dig it, might be right up your alley, it's just a bit heavier I guess. (lots of stuff on that Mos joint is from Oxperiment I iirc)
Thanks for the recs, thats been satisfying my recent fix for instrumentals. Inspiring stuff.
Also brought me to stumble onto the new Blackstar Track (Produced by Oh no) that I haven't heard.

Well damn.
What can I say? I likes my cheeba. Some people drink.

Sometimes I post from work.
I really don't get the ASAP Rocky to Lil B comparison.
Lyrical content, I guess. Aside from that, they're pretty different.

Dunno about hailing the song writing of a swag rapper, but ASAP definitely knows how to bob and weave through a beat with impressive melody and touch.
