which was hella unexpected. he styled all over that muthafucker effortlessly.
I love Yela as a rapper, but this beat didn't fit him. Kendrick and Bronsolinho seemed to be running on fumes here too. expected though after a whole year of par excellence music. Kendrick leaning on the vocal changes and dramatic flair a lil' too much here also
i got em: Krit Danny Brown Joey BadA$$ Kendrick A$AP (lol @ him knowing to go first) Bronson Yela

I'm assuming the 3rd verse is Joey Badass? First I've heard of him. Still don't get the appeal of Danny Brown, although he was much more enjoyable with a one-off verse than trying to get through an entire song of his.
On some 2004 "leaking a month before it drops" shit. Don't really see that anymore.

Most of the people who don't like him are older cats, it seems like.

you know its okay for people not to like what you like
if you pull up the Joey posts from this year, MANY liked him and 1999, and others (like myself) knew he had talent, but didn't want to hear dope raps over beats that are literally from 1999.
no need to call in these mythical hipsters and the monolithic lesson taste
have you heard the other two joints he released in the past few days, one with Melo-X, and the other with his crew. shits are dope. the end

Mediocre 'warm' sample (although these strings seemed canned) Drums that don't hit too hard with a minimal amount of bass Dudes doing rippity rap for the same of rippity rap. No hooks whatsoever.
It's pure oldtimer's bait, which is why it has it's own post on OKP.

I guess the producers were banking on us forgetting that songs like 'Banned from TV' existed
Doesn't work that way in the digital age
THAT was a young lyricist posse cut
This is noisy, messy dumb shit
And even the guys who are good rappers on that song come off wack
Just a shitty, rushed wack job
I'd only go B minus in the context of the fact that Brooklynwhat types think Kid Cudi and Chief Keef are good rappers today, and so you have to grade on a curve
Imagine if some shit like N.O.R.E. came out today?
BrooklynWhat and them's ears would explode
They wouldn't know what to do

Its right up your dumb rap music category, but is actually artful, dope, way more relevant street shit, better beat, more cohesive and the rappers actually feed off of each other
Again: its better in every way:
-more street
-more ignorant
-more punchliney
-more braddadocio
-more lyrical
-cleaner, harder beat
-more cohesive as a posse cut
In every way, 'Banned from TV' is superior and its a very good parallel to this A$AP song in many ways
That is how commercialish/street rap used to be
N.O.R.E. is the album that really gave the world the Neptunes, after all
Buzz was a different animal back then, but NORE had an A$AP magnitude buzz for that time, at least
Literally that song comes out today and its more relevant than this 1-Train shit...sounds like noise, like a discombobulated street cipher with a mix of rappity rappers and bums

>Dude, Wiz Khalifah is considered a top lyricist today.
He's really not considered that though. Even the people who like him admit that, as a rapper/MC/lyricist, he's pretty average.

BrooklynWhat types don't say that at all.
In fact, people who know better say that he sucks.

he makes shitty music, but there's an audience that likes it. nobody likes wiz khalifa because he dates kanye's sloppy seconds. i'm pretty sure "black and yellow" came out before he even started dating her, which is the major reason why he's even in the conversation right now

when the beat needs to drop twice, there are one two many cooks in the kitchen. i already listed who i thought brought the goods here above, but overall i like this shit and shows IMO that Rocky knows his audience beyond "hipsters" are some old heads. So he gathered the most lovable of the new era's rappity-rap rappers in aims to create a new classic posse cut. its good not great.
crazy if Joey was speaking truthfully about Jay looking to sign him. personally, i think that'd be a good look
Danny is fucn awesome
and Krit, as i stated above, styled all over this muthafucka
