assorted thoughts on Electric Highway
- cash mixtape. upgrade on Driving 88 in every way. Rockie putting that MMG access to good use.
- production is tight. not a lot of guests, glad there's no meek mill or wale, although i think wale could spit some fly shit on some of these beats.
- clearly Rockie has the ability to put a good project together, but he just needs a swag upgrade to take his shit to the next level. adlibs, more energy, character in his voice.
- for his next project he needs to spend a lot of time looking at himself as an MC. because these regular dude bars ain't gonna cut it if he wants to be a star. there's a few tracks where he hits the mythical "it" but you gotta be able to crank those out at will.
- best MMG project this side of Rich Forever.
- standout tracks: The Warning, Roll Up Right Now, Father Forgive Em
- if i had to throw a number on it...8/10.

Cons interview. Watch how it starts out all friendly and then all of a sudden Cons activates his inner Ray J.

Quotable:
"I'M LOVE AND HIP-HOP NEW YORK. THE REST OF YOU N****S FROM JERSEY. YOU THINK IT AIN'T REAL OUT HERE ON THESE STREETS?"
**DEAD**

Jen (the Pen?) has an annoying voice.

@IrishNinja2099

Spaceghost has no reason to be up on that list. Especially after that sorry excuse for a feature on Kush Cloud.

[HiResDes]

Jen the Pen needs to pick up a pen and shut the fuck up, but other than that great interview.

 

[Discotheque]

Kinda weird that Riff Raff will make the most money out of anyone on this list.

He deserves it more than all of them you pointed out except Action Bronson.

Anyways, I pray this list gets:

Q
Gunplay
Action Bronson
Riff Raff
Ab Soul
Rockie Fresh

Don't give a fuck about the rest. And it would be godly to hear the interview with these people together. Especially Q, Bronson and Riff Raff. Not to mention the cyphers.

edit: knowing this shit we're gonna be seeing wack shit like Kirko Bangz and D Pryde instead tho.

 

[overcast]

Not that the list is super important, but it would be nice to see Q, Soul, and Bronson get recognized.

 

[siddx]

"...and these fuckin backpackers"
Siddx spittin that subliminal Recon diss?

lol naw, I like recon. If anything I was taking a lighthearted shot at people who love blu, when you consider the line after it.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

That is the best roster in a long time but being on the XXL freshmen list is kind of embarrassing now. Especially for most of that list who have been around for 3+ years.

Magazines are for teenagers just getting into rap so think of this as XXL confirming these guys are mainstream ready.

Also the curren$y looks dope I wanna hear him on those static selektah beats as well just cause static does drop some Heat when given a chance.

 

[Detox]

You go to the Distant Relatives shows back when the album dropped? That was an awesome show.

Yeah that was awesome, it was my first show and I enjoyed both acts. Green Lantern played a good opening set too.

 

[Bishman]

http://www.xxlmag.com/10spot/

Action Bronson
Chief Keef
Joey Bada$$
Schoolboy Q
Riff Raff
Travis Scott
SpaceGhosePurrp
Rockie Fresh
Trinidad James
Young Scooter

Voted for Ab-Soul.

 

[codhand]

how is bronson a freshman, but asap rocky isnt? they both came out in 2011.

 

[Bishman]

Watch step by step as Tha Bizness recreate the beat behind "Sherane" from Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d city".

I love the production on this song. It really sets the mood for the entire album.

 

[T Dollarz]

Voted for my lil man Joey Bada$$

 

[//B1G]

I love how they've got a million dollar studio to make beats with samples included on their maschines

 

[PBY]

Voted for my lil man Joey Bada$$

Joey B is so far down that list for me

 

[T Dollarz]

Joey B is so far down that list for me

and I presume Chief Keef & Trinidad James anchor your list?

 

[HiResDes]

Fat Trel is pretty nice too! But I voted for Ab-Soul.

 

[PBY]

and I presume Chief Keef & Trinidad James anchor your list?

Lol not a big TJ fan, but I'd put schoolboy as #1. No lie, i definitely find keef more interesting than Joey badass.

 

[Esch]

"Slum Village" – LONG Way Down f. Black Milk & Victor Scope

lmao im not even listening to this

 

[T Dollarz]

Yeah, Schoolboy would be my #2

 

[//B1G]

Is Roc considered a freshman? Obviously he ain't a dumbass kid like most these cats but he's still relatively new to the game, yeah?

Ugly Mane would probably be my top if I cared about lists, only seconded by Roc or Nacho.

1) Lil Ugly Mane
2) Roc Marciano
3) Nacho Picasso

And best taste of gaf goes to: me

 

[T Dollarz]

I think I somehow missed whatever Lil Ugly Mane put out last year that got everyone here so hyped.

 

[//B1G]

All he really put out was a two track EP (that I don't even think a lot of people gave a comprehensive listen tbh) and a couple instrumental tapes.
Not too many people here dig him I think, just the ones that do are pretty vocal about it.

 

[Esch]

dude its really good you should get it

do you think this is poppin? if so, cop the whole tape

Roc is definitely not a freshman considering Marcberg came out in 2010, but nice list.

 

[Esch]

Marcberg was basically AOTY 2010 along with Wuz Here

 

[T Dollarz]

dude its really good you should get it

do you think this is poppin? if so, cop the whole tape

Oh hell yeah this is smooth. Which tape is it, Mista Thug Isolation or Supasonic?

Pilot Talk belongs in that 2010 crop as well

 

[//B1G]

Here's the EP, this shit is soooo fire! It really does me wrong that not enough of you guys can appreciate this for what it is, even if it's not what you usually listen to

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHnNLfc0OX0

The first track is just rediculously hard, this would make me start moshing if I heard him play it live.
The second is the best story telling in the last like 5 fucking years, no lie. Plus he produces his own shit.

 

[HiResDes]

Fat Trel does Keef better than Keef does Keef, and is all around a better rapper.

 

[Esch]

Oh hell yeah this is smooth. Which tape is it, Mista Thug Isolation or Supasonic?

Pilot Talk belongs in that 2010 crop as well

Mista Thug Isolation, also true

actually Pilot Talk aoty 2010, thought it was 2009 for some reason

 

[MuddyDonut]

Dat Nacho love

 

[Esch]

man why cant KRIT make piff like this anymore

lol @ the ghost of Yelawolf

 

[PBY]

Marcberg was basically AOTY 2010 along with Wuz Here

Yo. Yooooooo do you REALIZE what dropped in 2010? I'll forgive you this once.

 

[Esch]

Big Boi should have not been in the top ten that year, but Death is Silent I'll give you.

 

[//B1G]

I didn't really like supasortahuman or whatever tbh, I dig ugly mane more when he's on his dark tip (for obvious reasons.)

Death is Silent is too low, The Hybrid went harder than most of that shit, Strong Arm Steady's In Search of Stoney Jackson was basically a west-coast version of Pilot Talk and is super ill. Apollo Brown's Reset was also criminally under appreciated. Shad had a great album that year too, and Freddie Gibb's Str8 Killa No Filla. Oh and this:

 

[//B1G]

Oh shit, can't believe none of you '10 listers had str8 killa no filla. That went hard as hell
