THE POINT IS THAT TWITTER RUINED RAP CUZ WHEN I WAS A KID WRITING GRAFFITI ON SHIT AND SMOKING DUST THERE WAS NO TWITTER AND THE ONLY THING I KNEW ABOUT PRODIGY IS THAT HIS MOB WAS LIKE A BUNCH OF WILD PUERTO RICANS WITH BANGERS THE SIZE OF AFRICAN SPEARS.

Rap Thoughts (#hate ed.)

Thug Waffle song, please go away. ‘93 Wu/NY era fang fronts and a nigga lookin’ like a glammed out version of Melle Mel circa ‘84 does not make for a good song or video. Spaceghostpurp (or how ever the fuck he spell that shit) did a beat gen type beat that was cool, but miles better than this horrible shit that headz seem to love. Drake-Common beef/battle is strange, hilarious and ass juice. Both got in good lines in each other, but over all I rather take some Nyquil when I’m not sick… and this is coming from a dude who use to have Com in his top 5 CIRCA 95-04… yes Electric Circus is better than all the shitty street rap that you link up and racks up plays on your itunes. Iggy Azalea, though you’re kinda fine, why do you rap with blaccent! why! aren’t you from fucn New Zealand or some shit? If/when you blow up, I’ll blame Marc Ecko. Lastly, at this point, it is undeniable how much bad and great influence Lil’ B has had on rap music/image/slang/performance… that last line is not hyperbole nor sarcasm

Mac Miller - “Loitering” (Rostrum, 2011)

Speak-n-spell slap courtesy of Young L & ID Labs. Raps presented without comment.

mo rap music: I have nuthin’ against Mac Miller, personally. I find him to be a mediocre rapper (with content i don’t care for), that has an investment and audience due to deep socio-psychological shit that deserves no mo words.

this Young L/ID Labs beat is RETARDO

Stalley - The Tune Up

More Rashad produced heat. This song leaked a few weeks before Stalley’s great Lincoln Way Nights dropped earlier this year. It’s better than half the album, but didn’t make the cut… Kanye shrug. The video aight, song great.

Hua Hsu on Watch The Throne

This is simply the best piece of writing about rap, society and contemporary culture I have read in who knows how long. It’s not surprising it comes from Hsu.

KRIT F/ YELAWOLF

Shit is nice. Their Country Couzins collab needs to drop if this is what they cooked up.

Much props to Yela for shouting out the Coup and British Knights in his verse.

And Krit’s chop of ______ was nice too. True Master used it on La The Darkman’s “Luchi”
