(DISCUSSION) Tyler, the Creator - Bastard (10 Years later)

Posted: 24 Dec 2019 04:19 PM PST

On December 25th, 2009, Tyler the Creator self-released his first album/mixtape "Bastard" for free online. The album was produced by Tyler himself using FL Studio and features appearances from Odd Future members such as Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats.

The album was met with critical acclaim but also caused controvery among the Conservative Party in the UK, which led to Tyler getting banned from the UK. "Bastard" helped Tyler and Odd Future get significant exposure within the rap community and was an important step for internet-based independent/DIY music.

What are your thoughts on this album? Crazy how it's already been 10 years...

A guide to Romanian Hip-Hop

Posted: 24 Dec 2019 05:57 AM PST

In 1989 Romania went through a revolution and we finally got rid of communism. The youngsters back then started to import many thing from abroad, especially from USA, and hip-hop culture was no exception.

The beginnings

B.U.G Mafia

In 1993 the first big rap group emerged and it was called R.A.C.L.A. Founded by Krash-X, Big Demo, Rimaru and Clonatu', Rimaru being one of the fastest rappers in Romania, check 2:25 for example. Also in 1993 another group was founded, called M&G which adopted more of a reggaeton style with songs like Să dansăm or Asalt Raggafonic. Today these groups are no longer making music, Rimaru released some songs a few years ago but that's it, they were popular in the 90's and early 2000's.

In 1994 the two biggest rap groups to this day in Romania appeared. First B.U.G Mafia or Bucharest Underground Mafia with it's members being Uzzi, Caddilac or Caddy and Tataee, considered to be the first gangsta rap group from Romania, ispired directly from N.W.A and other west coast groups from that time. Throughout the years, the group endured a long-standing controversy due to the explicit and confrontational nature of their lyrics. Focusing on subjects such as the post-communist romanian political class, poverty and crime in Romania's communist-built housing projects or their recurring hostility towards romanian police. Some well known songs from them consist of: După Blocuri, Străzile, Pantelimonu' Petrece, Un 2 și Trei de 0, Poezie de Stradă. To this day their songs are being played in nightclubs, at parties, in cars and sometimes they might throw some concerts, but the new wave of rappers are taking over, which I'll talk about later in this post. Se ridică în aer is one of their newest songs and it's a collab with a new wave rapper, Super Ed.

As I said above, in 1994 two of the biggest rap groups were founded, the second one being Paraziții. The group consists of Cheloo, Ombladon and FreakaDaDisk. This is one of their first songs, and it's translation is "Around" but if you merge "In" with "Jur" it says "Injur" which means I swear and as you can imagine it sounded bad, really bad and their lyrics let's say they were mostly swearing as the title suggests. But they got better over the years, and mostly in their songs they talk about poverty, police, drinking, politicians and hood life but it's very different from B.U.G Mafia and you can check for yourself: Din Colțul Blocului which talks about the hood life, drinking and not giving a f, Vicii which is a song about vices and how they affect everybody, Poliția Trece which is a newer songs and talks about, you've guessed it, police and how dumb they are, Bad Joke which is a song in english and I found it very funny. In Jos Cenzura they talk about censorship in our country but especially in the music industry and how their songs are not being played on radio or TV. Today Paraziții are still being listened to, they might still throw concerts and release some songs but again, the new wave is taking over and maybe the nostalgic ones will listen to them.

In 1996 another group appeared and took Romania by storm, called La Familia made of Sișu and Puya, ispired by the West Coast hip hop, they too had songs about the hood life which sounded in a more commercial way, let's say. To the end of the 90's romanian rap groups were divided too in East and West coast, and it had nothing to do with geography, but from which part they took inspiration. Mentored by fellow gangsta rap group B.U.G Mafia, they quickly emerged as one of Romania's most popular rap acts in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2003, group member Sișu was sentenced to three years in prison after being arrested by the romanian police in a widely publicized drug-trafficking case. The group also lost the rights to its name after a public feud with former mentors B.U.G Mafia. Some of their most known songs are: Tuper de Borfaș, Vorbe, Viață Bună. They too released some songs recently, Dulce Răzbunare which talk about the new wave and that they're not true rappers.

The 2000's

C.T.C

In the early 2000's hip hop in Romania started to decline because of the uprising of electronic and pop music across the country , the most well known groups remaining B.U.G Mafia and Paraziții, La Familia started to fade away because of the arrest of Sișu, but some new names apperead on the scene and by the late 2000's and early 2010's Romania had a big line up of rappers and finally some big solo artists which were inspired by the early groups and also by American rappers. This line up consisted of: Guess Who which was mentored by Paraziții but later had a beef with them and this is a song with them released in 2005. These are his most popular songs: Manifest, Onoare and Locul Potrivit.

Grasu XXL with songs that are still listened to this day, let's say that he released mostly club bangers like Turbofin, Fară Filtru, Tare Frate and Dă-te Mai Așa.

Another solo rapper which is popular to this day is Spike which was also affiliated with Paraziții but him too left the group. These are some popular songs from him: Drumurile, Scandal, Manele and Salcâmii.

In 2007 Guess Who and Grasu XXL started their own record label called Okapi Sound and released songs with some of the rappers from that time like: LaLa Song, Didaia.

Another group that was formed in the 2000's is CTC or Controlul Tehnic de Calitate, founded by Vlad Dobrescu, Deliric, Doc and DJ Paul. Most of their songs are not labeled as CTC but they mostly use their names in the title of a song and they too got their own record label called Facem Records. They're one of the biggest names in the rap scene in Romania being relevant today too and they got famous because they sounded different from the rap sound from that time. Some of their most popular songs are: Linii de Tramvai, Ceai, Globul de Cristal, SUD and Praf wihch is a diss track for Ombladon from Paraziții.

Deliric it's the most famous from this group and he's very popular in Romania, he has his clothing brand too called PORC which is popular among youngsters but his sound is very different and that's due to his affiliation with Silent Strike and I can recommend these songs: Ambrozie, $efu, Mâine, Zâmbim Fals, Independent.

Another popular rap group that influenced many teens in the late 2000's and early 2010's was Specii, mainly because they talked about drug abuse and that was something no other group was talking about at that time. It's members were Dragonu', Chimie and Gazah. The group no longer exists or it doesn't releases anyting, Dragonu' converted to a religious life after taking too many drugs and Chimie releases a song now and then or maybe a feature. But their songs influenced a generation and are still listened today, songs like: Dia'gnoza, Farmacia de la Colț, 4 ziua, Maimuțe de Stradă and a recent songs which talks about the drug abuse and how bad it made their lives Greșelile Tinereții.

The new wave

Ian and Azteca

In 2014-2015 Romania experienced a new sound, of course inspired from USA, and I'm talking about trap. One of the first to experience this new sound was ȘATRA B.E.N.Z, a group founded by Lu-k Beats, their producer and it's members Killa Fonic, Keed, Super ED and Nosfe, but Killa Fonic left the group recently. At first they weren't received well by the audience, and that's because it was a complete new sound from what people were used to but they slowly started to catch up and let's say they paved the way for many new artists. Some of their early songs are: traparmy, Vocile and Vine Șatra and these are some newer songs BANK, Dubai and Bernabeu.

Nane, it's another famous rapper which switched to trap but he succeeded in doing it and it's one of the best from the new wave. His old songs sounded like this and this is him now with songs like: B.M.V, FRATE-MIU, CARTIERU' ARDE, NIKE UM.

Ian and Azteca are a duo who formed Ocult Records and they hopped on this new wave bringing the audience closer to the genre with songs like: Bag un Blunt, NEFIU, FLEXEZ, Player, Mili and Jared Leto.

Another popular rapper is Abi, which most people take as a joke or hate him because he's flexing in every video and in Romania it's something a person shouldn't do because most of the people here are poor, but his songs are catchy: [Papuci Gucci or Gucci Flip Flops, Rege pa România, ABILLI with Amuly which is associated with Satra B.E.N.Z.

Aerozen x Tussin are some young rappers which are starting to get popular with only 2 songs at the moment, Miliarde and Rechinii.

Yakki, another young one which is getting more and more popular, has some catchy songs too 6AM and PLUTO.

GOLANI, is a group that appeared in 2016 and they're pretty popular, and like Satra they first received hate because of the new sound but people like them now. The groups consists of OG Eastbull (the most famous from them), Shay, Alex Sosa and Mago del Blocco. GOLANI is a group founded in Italy by romanians living there and OG Eastbull got famous for some songs in italian. Some of their songs consist of GOLAN REMIX, Miami, A.C.A.B. and the most recent one from OG Eastbull, Nane and Tovaritch CONTACTU .

As I said above, recently Killa Fonic left Satra B.E.N.Z and started a solo career, which is very successful and it's very appreciated by the public, with songs like: Nimeni, Richie Rich, DVNS, Has Mo Pele.

Subcarpați it's a group that are part of the new wave, but they added something different, romanian traditional folk elements to hip hop beats, and I must say that they're a genre on their own. The group it's made of MC Bean, Aforic, Argatu' and Vali Umbră. Some of their most famous songs are: Dă-i Foale, Oamenii Mei, Rege pe Deal, '84-'85.

And this is the current state of hip hop in Romania today, with young artists getting famous and old ones being mad because they're stealing their audience, mixed feelings and the genre getting more popular. I didn't cover all the artists because It would've been a very long list but I tried to write about the most important ones and feel free to comment if you wanted to see somebody you like. Hip hop culture it's very big in Romania, it always was and I wanted the rest of the world to know about it and sorry for any mistakes I've made. Hope you enjoy!
