But...Ghetto Symphony vs. Cartoons and Cereal.

Fucking ridiculous how both hype ass Gunplay tracks end up being deluxe edition tracks/album afterthoughts.(and also arguably the best tracks out of both albums)

No not on Kendrick's, that a laughable opinion even.

 

[Discotheque]

No not on Kendrick's, that a laughable opinion even.

No it isn't. Fucking amazing song. I'm in a list mood right now!

Cartoons and Cereal
Maad City (just godly flow here, and the beat switch and MC Eiht's verse)
Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe
Money Trees

Yes, conceptually some are better than others on that album but I stand by this

 

[HiResDes]

Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst is the best song, it may not be as bumpable in your whip, but that doesn't mean it's not the best

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Mac Miller jazz tape aint that bad.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

No not on Kendrick's, that a laughable opinion even.

Laughable? I unno about that, Cartoons & Cereal is really good track.

 

[HiResDes]

Laughable? I unno about that, Cartoon & Ceral is really good track.

Yeah but there are like 9 great tracks on that album.

This subjective account is amusing at the bare minimum.

 

[T Dollarz]

The only song on GKMC I don't love is Real.

 

[Esch]

Gafhop podcast #1 looking like Me, Des, Tguy, Blackace, Siddx and WanderingWind. Should be lots of fun.

Anyone willing to do a test run with me so i can check out audio recording/group calls etc?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Yeah but there are like 9 great tracks on that album.

I mean yeah, but had Cartoons & Cereal been on the album like it was supposed to and didn't leak months in advance, I'm sure it would've been in a lot of "top 3 GKMC songs."

Working or I would

 

[RJT]

Nothing laughable about that. It's not unique either.

 

[overcast]

The only song on GKMC I don't love is Real.

I still really like that track.

 

[HiResDes]

I still really like that track.

Once you figure out that he made the song so that his momma could have something to step to, it makes it more enjoyable.

 

[overcast]

Oh my God. That does make it better. Many dont like the chorus, but it works for me.

 

[HiResDes]

And I'll shut up about Cartoons and Cereals since I forgot I placed it as the opener on my tracklist

 

[Net_Wrecker]

:lol

I've warmed up to Real. It's still probably the weakest after the Mary J track, but I'm alright with it now.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Nope Real still not getting any love from me. Cartoons and Cereal hip hop song of 2012, made me a fan of Gunplay features.

 

[spindashing]

Hell, I'm even warming up to Poetic Justice these days...

Can't wait to hear Blackace's petite voice

 

[Discotheque]

It's gonna trip me out when I put voices to poster names.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Soul Temple Records finally sent me the physical copy of The Man with the Iron Fists which should have arrived in November.

But they were nice enough to write me an apology and include the instrumentals.

 

[MuddyDonut]

I already know how some of you guys sound when you did those songs. Like I can hear des and siddx talking already.

 

[Esch]

Can't wait to hear Blackace's petite voice

Y'all are gonna find my voice/accent weird too

It's gonna trip me out when I put voices to poster names.

Its less weird if you're in the FB group and can already attach names to faces I guess.

 

[HiiiLife]

Didn't like the Mary J feature when the album released and I don't like it now.

Smh.

I'm warming up to Real though. I just tune out the chorus. Lol.

 

[WanderingWind]

Straight Barry White up in this

 

[PhoenixDark]

all the second gen Indians I know don't have accents

 

[Esch]

all the second gen Indians I know don't have accents

My parents arent from India. They're from africa and fiji so what they speak is closer to british english. And i'm from the mid-south. It's just gonna be weird mane.

I feel so racist right now

you've told me this info before and I keep forgetting lmao

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Can't wait to hear this podcast.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

YO BREHS....How do I get Up in this PODCAST DOE.....maybe il spit some bars too...

 

[Trey]

I don't like Google Music's matching service. I keep uploading gully shit and they replace it with some neutered airplay-friendly crap. I don't want to have the lyrics drop out every third word - I'm uploading explicit for a reason, google.

 

[DominoKid]

He's always like that. Same thing in the BET cypher. Dude was going on about some shit how everyone can shine and think positive, son please, I don't wanna hear that shit in a cypher.
He's trying way too hard to be the opposite of a gangster rapper, a smart-ass street prophet kid or some shit.

Yeah, I don't have a problem for the most part but he was trying way too hard and on some spiritual magical bullshit for this track. The total opposite of what the track was calling for. A posse cut like this is about letting your nuts hang and talking shit and he's going all weird like someone forgot to pass him the blunt.

Yea thought the exact same and I like joey's flow for the most part

i'm not a fan, but i can tell he's letting his fanbase (largely trapped in the 90s cats) get the better of him and is catering to what he thinks they want.

i don't think young folks fuck w/ him at all.

Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst is the best song, it may not be as bumpable in your whip, but that doesn't mean it's not the best

Sing yes. Dying i can take or leave.

 

[coldvein]

damn, a podcast!?! very exciting.

 

[overcast]

Yeah, I can't see Joey being more popular than he already is to be honest.

 

[MuddyDonut]

My friend is trapped in that REAL HIP HOP phase and I'm pretty sure there are more like him. Young people fuck with Joey, not as much, but they are present.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Joey just does one thing: 90s style shit. I'm not knocking the kid, I love his mixtape and my top ten will feature two albums that heavily reach back to early 90s east coast shit (Reloaded, Grief Pedigree). But that's not what sells or fills concerts in 2012/2013. Joey will need to show some artist development before getting signed imo.

If he was smart he'd look at Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, Krit, etc for inspiration on what to do next: a mixtape of nearly entirely new material (ie no more rhyming over Dilla, DITC, etc) that demonstrates his worldview along with solid displays of musical versatility. Any label head could have listened to each of So Far Gone, Overly Dedicated, Warm Up, KRIT Wuz Here etc and recognize the ability to do commercial shit alongside the more "undergroundy" stuff. Those mixtapes were like the musical equivalent of an RB sending a football scout video of him demonstrating he can catch as well as run.

TLDR: I'm not sure Joey can do that. Plus if we're gonna be really real...dude is an unattractive (by mainstream standards at least) grimy NY ninja.

 

[DominoKid]

Well said.

I can't see him ever really amounting to more than a niche artist.

 

[coldvein]

poor kid.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Fashion Killa is so corny, I'm surprised Nicki Minaj isn't on it

 

[Blackace]

Can't wait to hear Blackace's petite voice

Pause

 

[Discotheque]

OMG I can't with this ASAP Eli Porter at the end of Ghetto Symphony.

This beat is so dope and Gunplay just murks it. It should be a finishing verse, not ASAP Flunkie.

 

[CountBlack]

The Ferg verse wasn't that bad, sheesh. At least it had a decent flow to it. It just doesn't warrant following the Gunplay verse and ending the song.

SINCE ROCKI RHYMIN LEIK ANDRE I'M GONNU RHYMN LEIK BIG BOI

This was ferg after recording his verse while everyone stared at him quietly

 

[Discotheque]

Okay I like everyone's verse on 1Train actually. The beat is just carrying them. Even Joey Badass'. The lyrics are wack in his verse and don't fit the track but he flows with it.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

I honestly think the highpoint is the very first track.
Can't think of another album where that might've happened before.....

 

[Grzi]

The Ferg verse wasn't that bad, sheesh. At least it had a decent flow to it. It just doesn't warrant following the Gunplay verse and ending the song.

It's awful.
The first bar was enough to make me want to punch the dude.
You ain't killin' shit son, c'mon.

 

[Knux-Future]

The Ferg verse is probably the worse verse Ive heard in my life.

"eat them liek cookies, chips ahoy..".

Like why?

I don't even.
