Lil B, "Fuck Kevin Durant"
His whole career is a performance piece, right?
I mean that his career can't be serious, right?

The only person to do EDM rap well was Lupe with Break The Chain.
Super Swah, the cape remains, thought I was M.I.A.? No paper?
Planes, I'm fly plus I don't write no more, its all off of the top I shaved the braids
Stay sharp, mama knew how to raise-a-Blade
Sway obliterated that verse, best verse on the entire album by far.

Bombastic trash about doing drugs describes the majority of BOTH Trap genres bruh. A lot of hip-hop, actually.
On that note: To be completely honest, I've never really gotten the differentiation between the two 'Traps' when the energies are the same, and the reliance on synths/effects are as prevalent in both sides.
Trash is trash. But at least some trap is fun trash and doesn't feel too high concept, a lot of EDM rap is a little try hard.
One is made by and for black people, one is made by and for white people
Trap is the more acceptable successor to bro-step, trap rap is the successor to ringtone rap and dirty south shit.... They're coming from different sources and have different aesthetics, even if they blend together sometimes. I don't really think they sound that alike either despite being synth heavy.

Side B of Old is ludicrously better live
I can't even see how side b is "trash" when it has 2 of Danny's best songs?
Smokin and Drinking and Dope Song are fucking terrific. Dubstep is under appreciated, and I personally love Dip. Not to mention Float On and Kush Coma are significant to the album overall. I like Kush Coma, but I completely understand why some don't. It could have been better. Handstand is fun, but he's done it before, and done it better. Break It is aight (could have cut one of those 2). Way Up Here sucks.
Honestly, calling the whole second half EDM is a bit ridiculous considering only about 4 of the songs I mentioned can have that label thrown on it. There are heavy trap songs, but even then there is a bit of self awareness of his self destruction that I appreciate.
It would be cool to hear a full on trap tape from Danny, or just some angry/funny shit again. I will agree that it is great live. I have no doubt just next album will be interesting though. I want him to start a feature/single year again. Made some of his best tracks in between XXX/Old.

Side B has some bangers, dunno what yall smoking today. Dubstep, Dope Song, Smokin & Drinkin, Float On...
I wish that Blueberry song was on the album.

I don't really think its a good rap song either, but i think it's cleverly done in that the way its placed in the tracklist is like a comedown after the raging drug peak of Side B.

Side A > Side B, but Side B isn't "trash" by a long shot.
rap or not, its just a bad song.
I'll argue that's more because of the lyrical content than production, though.
As far as Side A vs B, I like Side B more. BLASPHEMY, not. Dip, Dope Song, Break it, those still get played while only 25 bucks and Wonderbread from side A are thrown into rotation and nowhere near as frequently as the tracks from B.
Side A was nowhere near as fun as side B, while being nowhere near as poignant as grimy Danny off of XXX.

Trifling.
What if I say it's not?
lmfao, hell yeah. Zomby is a bitch.
I will pray to the Hood By Air and #BEENTRILL# gods for their health and prosperity.
Sounds like Zomby is claiming he beat his ass when he may have been handled by his security? Bitch made.
Then you say it's not.

Might jump in in a bit. Too busy arguing with PhoenixDark. Son is saying Life is What You Make It is better than Money, Cash, Hoes
Put it up to a vote. I'm more than confident GAF-Hop will ride with me
Jay Z ft DMX - Money, Cash, Hoes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kValaG55kUk
Nas ft DMX - Life Is What You Make It
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o-iGytI8ks
Votes:
Nas ft. DMX: 4
Jay Z ft DMX: 2
I expect them to as well. I'll still be right tho
edit: lets not forget the piff remix and video for M,C,H

More proof that Zomby is not only a terrible musician, but a terrible human being as well
I can definitely agree with the first two, unsure about DSOM though. I'd have to revisit them. Either way, OLD is basically an inferior XXX. Danny tries to cover the same ground by merely reversing the organization of XXX. I think this ended up cutting the "narrative" impact of the album, which was already done p succinctly on XXX in the first place.
With that being said, OLD carries some straight heaters. There's no denying that. I just hope Danny is more progressive/ambitious thematically on the next one
Some great sleeps are inbound.
That's super old.

yea boy
damn tho, Ski Beats really fell off the map. He had quite a resurgence with PT1/2 and the Dame Dash label shit, but but since then I haven't really seen his name come up.
Where Were U in '92 is a good album :/
tho tbh I never listened to With Love all the way through and Zomby has always seemed kinda cruddy, definitely feel like Ross was in the right here. Still they're both being lame
"are you done mixing yet? are you--are you" and the blade runner quote, c'mon

I don't know how anyone could like that Jay Z song. Shit sounds like straight trash.
Meanwhile Nas went IN on his track. SMH at the fact this is even being debated.
Gods Son > Satanic Camel

Yeessssssss
As for Money Cash Hoes vs. Life is What You Make It? I'll go Nas, but it's reallyyy close.
This is so awesome.
