Lil Kawaii has passed away

Posted: 27 Aug 2021 03:10 PM PDT

Lil Tracy posted a photo paying his respects: https://www.instagram.com/p/CTGA1juJyvr/?utm_medium=copy_link

Lil Kawaii collaborated with Tracy in the past on music. Not sure if he's worked with anyone else from GBC. Tragic this keeps happening to the 2015-17 wave of hiphop.

It appears he overdosed: https://twitter.com/slaylonie/status/1431377161563238401?s=21

(DISCUSSION) - Outkast - ATLiens: 25th Anniversary

Posted: 26 Aug 2021 11:24 PM PDT

Outkast's classic sophomore album was released 25 years ago today!

From Wikipedia:

ATLiens is the second studio album by American hip hop duo Outkast. It was released on August 27, 1996, by LaFace Records. From 1995 to 1996, OutKast recorded ATLiens in sessions at several Atlanta studios—Bosstown Recording Studios, Doppler Recording Studios, PatchWerk Recording Studio, Purple Dragon Studios, and Studio LaCoCo—as well as Chung King Recording Studio and Sound On Sound Recording in New York City. The record features outer space-inspired production sounds, with Outkast and producers Organized Noize incorporating elements of dub, psychedelic rock, and gospel into the compositions. Several songs feature the duo's first attempts at producing music by themselves. Lyrically, the group discusses a wide range of topics including urban life as hustlers, existential introspection, and extraterrestrial life. The album's title is a portmanteau of "ATL" (an abbreviation of Atlanta, Georgia) and "aliens", which has been interpreted by critics as a commentary about the feeling of being isolated from American culture.

ATLiens debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, and it sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first two weeks of release. The album was very well received by music critics upon its release, who praised the record's lyrical content. It has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of two million copies in the United States. The album spawned the singles "Elevators (Me & You)", "ATLiens", and "Jazzy Belle". Since its release, ATLiens has been listed by several magazines and critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Share your thoughts on the album. The more in-depth discussion, the better.

Some topics to discuss:

  • ATAliens influence on the rap scene back then and today.
  • How does the production fair by today's standards?
  • What do you think is the most important song on the album? Why?

[DISCUSSION] Young Thug - Jeffery (5 Years Later)

Posted: 26 Aug 2021 06:35 AM PDT

Original Trailer

Jeffery (originally titled No, My Name is Jeffery) is a mixtape by American rapper Young Thug. It was released for retail purchase on August 26, 2016, by 300 Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The mixtape features guest appearances from Travis Scott, Gucci Mane, Gunna, Migos members Quavo and Offset, and Wyclef Jean. It also features production from TM88 and Wheezy.
Jeffery charted at number eight on the US Billboard 200, and received widespread acclaim from critics. Its artwork, which features Young Thug in a dress, went viral. The mixtape was named among the best releases of 2016 by several publications, including Pitchfork, Fact, Complex, and Rolling Stone.

Some Discussion Questions:
Favorite songs?
Least favorite songs?
Favorite and least favorite features?
Where do you rank this on Thug's discography?
Do you think it lived up to the hype?
How has it aged?
Where do you rank this in the best albums of 2016 (if you do)?
Do you think this was a step-up lyric and production-wise from his previous work?
Any though on Lyor Cohen/300's involvement and influence on the tape?

Top Comments in Fresh Thread

That cover art looks like that video game boss that looks mad weak but deals 500+ damage per hit

Lmao he has a song called "harambe".

1 Track in and i'm convinced this is greatest piece of music masterpiece since Barter 6. Only emcee who could touch Jeffery right now is Young Thug.

I have a feeling that the Young Thug/Jeffery name thing is going to be a persona thing similar to Lil Yachty/Lil Boat. I doubt that 300 would allow one of their biggest artists to dump all his name recognition right when he is at the highest peak so far in his career. That said, I wouldn't mind the change if he continues to put out projects with this much quality on them.

Original Tracklist:

  1. Wyclef Jean (**** The Brakes)
  2. Floyd Mayweather (Lil ****)
  3. Swizz Beatz (Love)
  4. Future Swag (Baby Mama)
  5. RiRi (Work)
  6. Guwop (Ya Digg)
  7. Harambe (Stack It Up)
  8. Webbie (She Been Suckin)
  9. Popman (Wet Wet)

10. Pick Up The Phone

Busta Rhymes rails against COVID lockdowns and masks: “No human being is supposed to tell you you can’t even breathe freely. Fuck your mask!”

Posted: 25 Aug 2021 09:47 AM PDT

The vid is here: https://twitter.com/GrantB911/status/1430008359986597890

​

"In the last 15 fuckin' months, COVID could suck a dick," he says in the video. "All these little weird ass government policies and mandates, suck a dick. Stop trying to take out civil liberties away. Feels good to be back outside. We outside for real. It's called the God-given right of freedom, right? No human-being supposed to tell you you can't even breathe freely. Fuck your mask

Some of y'all might feel differently, but fuck your mask. I can't rhyme to you with a mask on. We can't eat food with a fuckin' mask on. We can't even see each other smile with a mask on. Damn, yo. I come from a time where before I even used to wanna holla at a chick, I used to have to do shit with my face to let her know that I'm into her. All of that energy gets blocked when your mask is on. Energy is important and we are all conductors of fuckin' good energy

We also gotta be clear when a muthafucka trying to give you bad energy, you can tell from only the expression on their face. I wanna see your face, fuck your mask

I'm sorry, I got a little political and shit. I miss my people. We gotta talk. We can party, but we gotta talk. We gotta communicate. We gotta establish new understandings. Fuck that. I ain't going through that shit again. And make sure y'all prepare, too. If anything came out of this muthafucka, [it] was a lot of learning."

[DISCUSSION] Vince Staples - Prima Donna (5 Years Later)

Posted: 25 Aug 2021 07:43 AM PDT

Prima Donna is the second extended play by American rapper Vince Staples. It was released on August 26, 2016, by ARTium Recordings and Def Jam Recordings. The extended play features guest appearances from Kilo Kish and ASAP Rocky, while the production was handled by DJ Dahi, James Blake, John Hill and No I.D.

Release and promotion

On June 20, 2016, Vince Staples revealed on The Fader cover story interview that he would be releasing his six-song EP, called Prima Donna. On August 15, 2016, the release date was announced, along with the release of the cover art and track listing for the album. On September 1, 2016, Staples released a ten-minute short film of the same name directed by Nabil Elderkin.

Release Thread

Production credits in case you can't find em

War Ready - James Blake

Smile - DJ Dahi

Loco - DJ Dahi

Prima Donna - DJ Dahi

Pimp Hand - No ID

Big Time - James Blake

That ATLiens sample on War Ready is clean. Enjoying the project a lot on first listen. Production very different from Summertime '06 not necessarily bad.

I knew I could trust Vince on that vinyl pre-order. Gonna give it a few more spins but really liked every track on the first listen.

edit: After two more listens I'm gonna say a few things

  • DJ Dahi is a GOD

  • Throw Schoolboy on Smile and it could be a cut from Blank Face

  • Rocky still comes through with a dope contribution without a verse

  • Kilo Kish actually fit on Loco perfectly even though I really wasn't a fan of her voice or any previous work.

  • Even though its only a 6 track project my top 3 songs are Smile, Loco and Big Time

Discussion thread

Dope as per usual from Vince, I'm glad this was an EP because imo vinces songs take a while to properly click.

Upon first hearing this I didn't immediately like it; it wasn't bad, I just wasn't impressed. But by list 5 or 6, I really started liking this project. Vince displays great lyrics and he did an excellent job at carrying out the theme of this project. A lot of artists say a project is going to "tell a story" or be thematic, but they are usually just bullshitting to make it sound interesting. Vince legitimately told the story he said he would and it worked out great, and I have mad respect for that.

I was mindfucked at the end when the end of the last song was same as song 06 from his album. Because this is a reverse chronological story, that means the real beginning of this EP (the last song) picks up exactly where Summertime 06 leaves off. My theory is that since this EP is the story of a rapper rising to fame and killing himself (and Summertime 06 was the album Vince rose to fame on) that this EP is about the pitfalls of fame and might apply to Vince's life specifically. I haven't listened enough to be sure, but it kind of makes sense.

edit: my only gripe is that a lot of this production sounds like something that could have been on Summertime 06, but that's not a big deal. If anything, the similar production sounds could just lend to the idea of the two projects tying together.

took me more listens than usual to enjoy but still a solid EP, 7/10 imo. Loco is my favourite, the last two tracks slap and the production overall is great , which i expected from the crazy production credits

  • How does it hold up?
  • Favorite tracks?
  • Doesn't this feel like a transitional record between Summertime '06 and Big Fish Theory?
