Sto's Album Club Week #1 | Thug Motivation 101 by Young Jeezy Posted: 04 Sep 2020 12:18 AM PDT Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 is the major label debut and overall third studio album by American rapper Young Jeezy. It was released on July 26, 2005, by his indie record label Corporate Thugz, under the distribution from Def Jam. The album was supported by four singles: "And Then What" featuring Mannie Fresh, "Soul Survivor" featuring Akon, "Go Crazy" and "My Hood". The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 172,000 copies in the first week. The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Go to your kitchen, pull out all the Pyrex items you got, and play this. From start to finish its full of anthems and bangers to keep you standing on the table. I champion this album as one of the pioneers to trap music on a mainstream level, and especially want to highlight the work from Shawty Redd. With instruments like the KORG Triton, Roland TR-808, and MPC2000, he created an orchestral frenzy to accompany Jeezy's chicken tal It completely makes sense why Jeezy choose to put him on 7 out of 20 songs…which of course happen to be some of my favorite songs on the album. The production on TM101 certainly influenced me to think big on production of my own. STANDOUTS Thug Motivation 101 [Shawty Redd] - one of the greatest intros in all of hip hop - signature pizzicato string melody is just nuts - money counter at the hook is the cherry on top - DONALD TRUMP BAR IN FIRST VERSE DIDN'T AGE WELL And Then What [Mannie Fresh] - the stomp in the hook sets the whole song off - great mix of 808 sub and electric bass guitar - the drop brings it all together - MANNIE FRESH INTRO IS ALL I CAN SAY Go Crazy [Shawty Redd] - One of only two sampled records in the album - completely changed the tempo of the album *Sample : The Impressions - "Man Oh Man" Other favorites: Trap or Die [Shawty Redd] Bottom of the Map [Shawty Redd] Get Ya Mind Right [Shawty Redd] Bang [Jazze Pha] ​ ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/cifkntu1y2l51.png?width=471&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f736ea93975f7f0190e3c5c9807dd9ca8c291f3 Singles "And Then What" "Soul Survivor" "Go Crazy (Remix)" "My Hood" Charts U.S Billboard 200 peaked at #2 U.S Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums (Billboard) peaked at 1 U.S Top Rap Albumsss peaked at 1 Questions to maybe discuss Stand out tracks? Best baseline? Songs from today that seem similar? Anything about the album you would change? Do you remember listening to it the first time? Any differing opinion from then? Feel free to ask me anything! Also, I'll be live streaming tonight on twitch at 8 EST talking about the album, going over beats, listening to songs, ect.

The Price Of Moral Sacrifice On 6ix9ine’s ‘TattleTales’ - Album Review Posted: 04 Sep 2020 08:36 PM PDT In an age in which the market feels more saturated than ever, the lengths and moral code surrounding an artist's claim to fame has never felt so ambiguous. Whilst this is by no means an abrupt marketing formula, it feels like a demand that within the musical landscape of now, it is the world of media gimmicks that either make or break the inaugural acceptance of the next era of stars. No artist has ever been so prone to the polarising motto, all publicity is good publicity, then New York native 6ix9ine. Making himself a household name through essentially adopting the token title of hip-hops villain, in the age of internet virality and streaming, it felt as if the mogul had cracked the code. Irrespective of one's opinion on 6ix9ine as a person, though damning an image that may be, no artist has ever had the ability to turn heads quite like him. Whilst I often find myself offended by his inability to separate product from its maker in the least flattering way possible, it is his enigmatic theatrics and bizarre conduct that leaves me intrigued every time. 6ix9ine's latest album 'TattleTales' comes after his glorified release from jail. The result of his careless ignorance and constant tease, 6ix9ine, sonically or otherwise, allows his brash actions to bleed into the medium. That element of his life has always had precedence and influence in his music, yet on his latest body of work, I struggle to find his progression. As is the case for most of these gimmicky, flash in the pan artists, there comes a point in which style is lost and the thinly veiled lack of substance is exposed. 'TattleTales' feels like 6ix9ine's 'hitting the wall moment' as he struggles to juggle his synonymous exhilarating antics, with a newfound squeaky clean sound. Everything from his persona, to his appearance, to the album's art, precedes his reputation, yet I struggle to catch even a glimpse of that same colour and unapologetic attitude anywhere on the record. Granted, the opening track picks up from a place of familiarity for its performers. 'LOCKED UP 2', the revitalised remix of Akon's 'Locked Up' sees both 6ix9ine and Akon reflect upon the troubled undertakings that led to each demise respectively. Revisiting the paths littered with mistakes that would eventually lead to the pair being locked up. Toying with this idea of suppression, the instrumental bears a luxurious frame initially with its piercing keys and serene string refrains, only to be ultimately muted by the violent thrashings of warped descending synths. Whilst the idea in which we understand and sympathise with 6ix9ine's sorrows feels a little far-fetched and ignorant, it's as close to a heartfelt and insightful moment of relief we get. Things immediately plummet following 6ix9ine's defining moment of pitiful honesty on the follow-up track 'TUTU'. Whilst the favouring of these tropical, colourful instrumental palettes is nothing new within the 6ix9ine catalog, no rendition prior has sounded quite so cheap and shallow. It is almost a given that when the production is so shamelessly toothless, the expectation falls upon the shoulders of the performer to engage. Yet here, 6ix9ine reels back his usual presence to unfold an equally one-note and forgettable vocal performance. Regardless of how unstomachable 6ix9ine's emphatic rage often is, it's at least a recognisable style, here, 6ix9ine fades all too deviously into a sea of unidentifiable crooners. These same issues become a recurring plague on the track 'CHARLIE'. With its lifeless clunky pan flutes, and a chorus with perhaps the most perplexing lack of cohesion ever, composed as if it were 6ix9ine's personal shopping list, the track demonstrates Tekashi's willingness to recycle these generic and inorganic tropes and shamelessly flog them like a dead horse. 'Highlights', a term that is relative to one's perception and ability to separate Tekashi from his music, are few and far between. Those familiar and inclined to the synonymous 6ix9ine sound are likely to be scratching their heads and wincing at more than a handful of the cuts present on the record, but it is the inclusion of 'GOOBA' which acts as a safe haven for his unfiltered, trademark style. Vocally 6ix9ine evokes an unbridled rage through his brutish inflections. Reaching an unparalleled sense of monstrous eruption, it is outlandish cuts like this that make 6ix9ine such a contentious figure. The track's lyrical content captures that provocative tease and childish jest the 6ix9ine formula entertains. An almost landmark return, as the phenomenon directly taunts and gaslights his haters. Whilst, not a sound I exactly care for, this is pinnacle 6ix9ine and I struggle to deny just how bold and daring it is. 6ix9ine has made his interest to transcend genres and merge definitive barriers no secret throughout his career. Constantly opting to fuse together elements of hip-hop and Latin pop, or one step further, inviting and appearing on predominantly Spanish speaking artists tracks. As expected 'TattleTales' refuses to interrupt this fascination and harbours a few of its own stylistic splices. We have the cut 'YAYA' which may in fact be the most migraine-inducing track within the 6ix9ine discography. With its manipulated chipmunked vocal phrases and Tekashi's grotesquely strenuous lead refrain it feels as if the song is a tandem bonanza poised with the task of slowly eating away at my sanity. Where 'YAYA' seeks to assault my ears through its rancid production, 6ix9ine ventures elsewhere stylistically to champion his abusively excessive vocals. Similarly sickening and an additionally abhorrent display of complete unambitious incompetence is Tekashi's effort to toy with the tropes of dancehall on 'NINI'. Where featured artist Leftside boasts a real smokey and dance feverish flair to his infectious delivery, 6ix9ine is the complete antithesis. Sticking out like a sore thumb, Tekashi lacks the suave, minimalist traits to even remotely do his rendition justice. It is simply mind-boggling to me why anyone, Tekashi included, would see himself fit to appeal to such an otherworldly demographic when his efforts are so blatantly unfit. Though the album exclusively welcomes recurring names within the Tekashi repertoire, for the most part, 6ix9ine struggles to find virtually any chemistry with his collaborators. Living up to its creator's namesake, the track 'TROLLZ' exhibits a point of contention forged from too much personality. Yet again 6ix9ine waters down his sound to create this flavourless melodic crooning that feels far too reserved to leave a lasting impact. Without his sustained audacious presence, he is simply left in the dust by Nicki Minaj who runs circles around him with her witty, personality-filled attitude and delivery that oozes with confidence. Where too much personality spoils the equation on 'TROLLZ' it is the removal of pronounced presences that leads to a vapid and sparse listen on 'LEAH'. With its violently invasive distorted synth line that acts as the enveloping blanket that devours anything and everything beneath it, a somber Akon and 6ix9ine feel all but lost in the reverb-heavy abyss. The two sing of giving in to their primal erotic desires with unnamed partners and indulging in lustful activities, yet nothing is given the necessary treatment to sound sincere or intimate. It all feels so surface level and one-note. So much so, that I am left feeling baron and cold with just how much blank space is left through underwhelming performances. 6ix9ine manages to continually underwhelm and flaunt a lack of creative substance throughout the project's entirety. Yet it isn't until the back end in which he truly flaunts his blasé and repetitive habits. 'GATA' is a prime example of the style over substance formula the Tekashi brand has so rigorously relied upon. 6ix9ine interpolates and calls back to many a past track of his own whilst boasting a truly tasteless sense of independence in which he states his unwelcoming nature towards an undescribed 'ho'. Its lines like "I won't save her, I won't breed a ho, I don't need a ho, I just fuck her and mislead the ho, I mistreat the ho" that truly capture the vile, downright misogynistic nature of Tekashi's devoid moral compass. Yet another instance in which 6ix9ine references his own canonical arc is on the track 'GTL'. Sampling the album's opener, the track is yet another installment in the niche trend of phone recorded songs. Whilst it plays out as a case of insightful recollection in which 6ix9ine comes to the realisation of his bad company, regressing over his misplacement in trust and loyalty amongst those that would eventually turn on him, I fail to see the appeal in such an amateurish and inaudible mix. A part of me hopes that this is the nail in the coffin that finally condemns the ambient-filled phone recorded track to the depths of the drawing board. I truly and honestly struggle to understand the direction and decisions leading up to 6ix9ine's construction of the album. 6ix9ine is a head-turner, yet a majority of 'TattleTales' feels constructed to go in one ear and immediately out the other. Whilst his synonymous sound is admittedly a hard to swallow pill, his newfound appreciation for an overly pristine and calculated layout sucks any and all originality and life from his sound. Let's face it, 6ix9ine isn't exactly a poet or wordsmith, so when his boisterous and over the top personality is removed from the equation I find his craft to become redundant and if anything, a grueling chore. The surface-level enjoyment to be found on 'TattleTales' asks more of its listeners than it does 6ix9ine, as I find myself scrambling to draw positives from its creator's input. 'TattleTales' is not the eye-catching, snazzy project we've come to expect from Tekashi, as it instead feels like the result of the watering down of one's already insufficient craft.

Throwback Write-Up #19: DMX - It's Dark And Hell Is Hot Posted: 03 Sep 2020 08:22 AM PDT Artist: DMX Album: It's Dark And Hell Is Hot Listen: YouTube Spotify Appple Music Background One December night in 1970, Earl Simmons was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and then raised in nearby Yonkers. To say that young Earl had a fucked up childhood would, unfortunately, be a profound understatement. From nightly trips to the emergency room thanks to asthma, to getting hit by a drunk driver, and not to mention the continued abuse he endured at home, 14-year-old Earl ran away, and was briefly homeless, bonding with stray dogs who also had nowhere safe to go. After being found in this condition, he was sent to a group home, where he bonded with other boys over their common interest in hip hop music, a genre which was still quite new at the time. He continued to practice rapping with the encouragement of his new friends, taking the name "DMX" from the Oberheim drum machine that he had written music with at the group home. Fast forward to 1991, and after two prison stints, DMX began recording his own mixtapes and selling them on the street, which eventually landed him a placement in The Source's "Unsigned Hype" column. (At this point in history, The Source was kinda like a big deal.) He released his first official single for Columbia Records' Ruffhouse imprint in 1993, but it generated so little buzz that he was released from his record contract shortly afterwards. However, he ended up befriending a rap group from his own hometown of Yonkers, The LOX, who were signed to Bad Boy Records; this connection would prove to be crucial for DMX, as it would help lead him to landing two guest spots on fellow Bad Boy artist Ma$e's wildly successful 1997 album, Harlem World. Providing a hook on "Take What's Yours" and joining The LOX on "24 Hours to Live," these placements created more interest in the then-unsigned MC than he had ever seen before. (The LOX also saved DMX a spot on their top 20 hit "Money, Power & Respect," so that definitely didn't hold him back, either.) After the East Coast-West Coast rivalry resulted in the murders of two of the genre's greatest artists, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., Bad Boy Records and damn near everyone else in the rap world decided to project a less violent and more celebratory, obscenely wealthy image. (Now, to be fair, it's not like they weren't slowly approaching that path already.) During what is now known as "the shiny suit era," producers took more influence from pop and R&B music, and rappers focused their lyrics more on the lifestyles of the rich and famous than those ov da poor & dangerous. On one hand, this paradigm shift made hip hop at large a bigger crossover hit than it had ever been before. On the other hand, much of hip hop's core audience was not happy at all about this new, heavily commercialized strain monopolizing the mainstream. Now, if there's one universal truth of rap music, it's that trends come and go faster than anyone can keep up with them, so naturally, by the time DMX's first single for Def Jam Records was released in February 1998, Biggie had not even been dead for a full year. "Get At Me Dog," featuring The LOX's Sheek Louch on the hook, clearly demonstrated that DMX's gritty, aggressive style was a far cry from what Sean Combs and company were on. Along with the equally unforgiving "Stop Being Greedy" and "Ruff Ryders' Anthem," interest in DMX quickly skyrocketed, and before long, he had become the hottest rapper around, thanks to the strength of his debut album, the incredible It's Dark And Hell Is Hot. Review 1998 was the year of DMX. While his peers were busy showing off their immense wealth and catering to radio, X was more preoccupied with embodying the raw anger and desperation that defined his environment growing up. As the decline of California's gangsta rap and New York's hardcore hip hop led to the rise of the aforementioned shiny suit era, many rap fans were worried that the genre had forsaken its roots, so naturally X was immediately welcomed with open arms. If Puff Daddy and Ma$e were like the hair metal groups of the late 1980s, DMX was their grunge counterpart. He was menacing, he was belligerent, and he had been through too much shit; his aggression was driven by catharsis and bravado in equal measures. On It's Dark And Hell Is Hot, DMX established himself as a rapper with an intimidating presence, off-kilter flows, blunt lyricism, surprising versatility, and a voice anyone could recognize from a mile away - not to mention that he arrived into the rap game with impossibly perfect timing. (He also probably has the GOAT ad-libs, but that's another story.) All of these factors combine to produce one of the most compelling rap albums of the 1990s. The first thing you hear when you put this album on is the sound of DMX pledging his loyalty to his Ruff Ryders crew, in a mock interview setting, repeatedly declaring, "that's my mans and them!" Whatever X is doing, his mans and them are doing, and when the "interviewer" predicts that they are "supposed to be locking down the industry on some shit, on some power shit," he couldn't have been more right. This brief skit leads into the proper "Intro," which is one of the album's most explosive cuts, with DMX demonstrating his brash, uncompromising flow over some fiery production from Irv Gotti and Lil Rob. Much of It's Dark continues in this vein, but X is far from one-dimensional, and proves himself a jack of many trades throughout the tracklist, demonstrating plenty of different emotions and levels of intensity over a wide range of beats, mostly produced by Dame Grease and P Killer Trackz. The intense brand of hardcore rap most commonly associated with DMX is conveniently perfected on the album's biggest hit singles. The album's first single, "Get At Me Dog," finds X in his element, barking one threat after the next, combined with a few harsh realities for good measure; "the days are longer and seems like I'm facing time / I've got a lot of dreams but I'm not really chasing mine." While "Get At Me Dog," with its funky but intense production, charted higher during X's heyday, "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" has perhaps proven itself more enduring, becoming his signature song over time. And the funny thing is, it almost didnt' happen at all; according to producer Swizz Beatz, when he first played X the minimal, synth-guitar-driven beat, he didn't want it because he thought it wasn't "hood enough," but eventually his Ruff Ryders managers (who are also Swizz's uncles) talked him into it. Despite this hesitancy, X came through with one of his strongest performances on the album; in addition to the irresistible hook, his distinctive flow and direct, audacious rhymes almost feel like a military cadence, probably also thanks to the "WHAT?!" ad-lib punctuating every half a line. It's just got "hit single" written all over it, doesn't it? From here, DMX doubles down on the aggression still on a number of other songs. The album's final track is a posse cut, "N-ggaz Done Started Something," where an ominous beat is attacked by The LOX and even Ma$e, whose verse is much rougher around the edges than anything on his own Harlem World, before X comes in at the end to steal the show, closing the album with possibly the hardest verse of his career; "now who gon' tell your mother her baby's under a cover / in the morgue, stiff as a log, sniffed out by the dogs?" Another one of the album's singles, "Stop Being Greedy," sees one of X's most creative performances, as he spends the whole song alternating between two different perspectives. Every four bars, his voice switches from a more laidback, confident side of himself, who wants to make an honest living to the best of his ability, to his signature gruff timbre, as it represents all the grimy shit he's ultimately willing to do to make ends meet. And it's not just X who's committed to this balancing act, either; Dame Grease and PK switch the beat from an elegant string sample to menacing horror-movie synthesizers along with the switches in lyrical point of view. A similar horror-like atmosphere is present on "Damien" and "X-Is Coming," which literally borrows its hook from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and contains some of X's most, um, peculiar lyrics. DMX also utilizes the same dual perspective technique on "Damien," which arguably still stands as his crowning achievement. On top of Dame Grease's harrowing string sample, X demonstrates his storytelling ability, as he narrates making a deal with "Damien," who turns out to be the Devil, where he is promised fame and fortune in exchange for basically being Damien's full-time hitman. He provides the voices for both himself and Damien, structuring all three verses as an extended dialogue between the two, and the first verse even has a third point of view introduced - namely, that of X's own young son. At the song's conclusion, X is presented with an awful dilemma, as Damien tests his loyalty by commissioning him to kill "that kid Sean [he] used to be with in '89." The simple but powerful hook continues to capture the difficulty of making out people's true intentions, in regards to anything; "the snake, the rat, the cat, the dog / How you gonna see 'em when you livin' in the fog?" Meanwhile, DMX continues to elaborate on his storytelling chops on "Crime Story," an overlooked album cut that features a direct but vivid lyrical narrative, again with X impersonating multiple voices, over a minimal beat consisting of little more than a lethally funky bassline, and some groovy drums to match. The comparative calm of this track is one of a few tracks which prove that, while X's mode of operation on It's Dark is primarily aggressive, he knows how to calm down a little bit sometimes. The laidback "How's It Goin' Down" was another hit single, wherein X contemplates his own relationship with a woman who already has a family of her own, ultimately deciding to call the whole thing off after the father of her children beats up a guy he mistook for X himself. Also in this relaxed vein is "For My Dogs," another posse cut featuring a host of little-known rappers who are presumably longtime friends of X's, as they all lay down verses expressing their appreciation for their loyal friends. True to the tone of the aforementioned "Damien," towards the end of the album, DMX makes it clear that he is a very religious man; later in life, he would claim to have become a deacon, with intentions of becoming a pastor. An a cappella track, "The Prayer," is exactly what it says on the tin; a passionate verse addressed to God. This is mmediately followed by "The Convo," which sees X once again assuming two perspectives, this time narrating his own conversation with God as he reflects on his own wrongdoings. Both of these songs are free of profanity, and represent a more introspective side of X, which also presents itself in earlier, secular moments on the album. One of these moments is the somber ballad, "Look Thru My Eyes," which contains a haunting piano line, over which X explains all the fucked up factors in his life that made him so violent and reckless as he grew older. Even more brutally honest is "Let Me Fly," where X's poetry reaches its peak as he wears his heart on his sleeve, and holds nothing back; "didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild / I merely say what's in my heart and you call it a style / Don't put it in a cage, don't mistreat it / You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it!" For a while there, the future of rap music was uncertain. Tensions were rising, its biggest stars were dying, and new up-and-comers were missing a lot of the edge that drew people into the genre in the first place. But DMX breathed new life into the good old spirit of hardcore hip hop when we needed it the most; from here, it would not take much longer at all for everyone to get tired of Puff Daddy and his cot damn shiny suits. The era of Nas, the Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep and the like was a whopping 3 years ago by this point, and X's contemporary spin on the East Coast renaissance may not feel quite as timeless today, but in some ways, It's Dark And Hell Is Hot is a stronger and more well-rounded album than many of the other classics from that period. Sadly, X did not end up with quite as strong of a legacy as he probably deserved. Even since he rose to fame, he's been arrested more times than you could count on both hands, for everything from drug possession, to tax fraud, to driving without a license, to even carjacking while impersonating a federal agent at the JFK Airport. (The magazines must have gotten a kick out of that one.) Meanwhile, his addiction to crack cocaine has resulted in multiple rehab stints. While DMX's legacy has been inhibited over time, his many hits still knock to this day, and It's Dark And Hell Is Hot remains one of the finest rap albums of not just its own era, but of any era before or since. Favourite Lyrics "What must I go through to show you shit is real / And I ain't really never gave a fuck how n-ggas feel / Rob and I steal, not 'cause I want to, 'cause I have to / And don't make me show you what the MAC do!" -DMX, "Get At Me Dog" "Take away hate, now I'm supposed to love the one that cursed me / The one that wouldn't give me a cup of water when I was thirsty / It was always him versus me, but now I gotta teach him / Personal feelin's put aside, 'cause now I gotta reach him / What I'd like to do is turn my head, like I don't know him / But it seems like I've been called on to show him, so I'ma show him / And if you never met me, then you've no right to judge me / I've got a good heart, but this heart can get ugly!" -DMX, "Look Thru My Eyes" "Don't came at me with no bullshit, use caution / 'Cause when I wet shit, I dead shit, like abortions / For bigger portions, of extortion and racketeering / Got n-ggas fearing, fuck whatchu heard, this what you hearing! / How much darker must it get, how much harder must it hit / See if your hardest n-ggas flip, when I start a bunch of shit!" -DMX, "N-ggaz Done Started Something" "I sold my soul to the Devil, and the price was cheap / And yo, it's cold on his level, 'cause it's twice as deep / But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on / Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb; shall I go on?" -DMX, "Let Me Fly" "Dogs bite, dogs fight, dogs knife / Scratch, shake, and hold all night / So when you hear that "ARF ARF," start runnin' / 'Cause when you hear that "ARF ARF," I'm comin'!" -DMX, "Stop Being Greedy" Talking Points What do y'all think of this album? Do you think It's Dark And Hell Is Hot is deserving of its classic status? Is it overrated, or maybe still overlooked? How well do you think It's Dark And Hell Is Hot has aged over the years? How do you think it has aged compared to other rap albums from the same era? DMX was on top of the rap game for quite some time, with all of his first five albums debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200. How do you think X kept this momentum up for as long as he did? Do you think this may have been some kind of fluke? Unfortunately, DMX did fall off pretty badly after his prime years. Do you think this was inevitable? Did he have potential to be an even bigger deal as time passed? If so, what do you think would have made him stick around longer? What kind of legacy do you think DMX has to this day? Would you consider X to be one of the GOATs, or one of rap's biggest what-ifs, or somewhere in between? submitted by /u/707deathwish [link] [comments]
