via a youtube wormhole I came across this troop41 stuff and apparently they got some dance song with 2million views that I have never heard. I didn’t know who the fuck these kids where. It’s nothing amazing or anything, tends to come off over manufactured like some North Carolina Travis Porter knockoff, but I don’t like travis porter so yeah whatever. The more basic stuff is ok. 

Anyways the point is I came across this track that features the Yurpie Squad and I don’t know who the hell these Yurpie kids are but I’m feeling it. The video is like three months old and outside of solo shit this seems to be their only joint as a crew. Who knows could be a bust but I’m curious to hear more of this stuff.

saffir! knew there was one. wonder if fat joe knew peurto rican judo. woulda been useless against pun, who knew peurto rican sumo. asians seem to thrive with the breakdancing, djing and graffiti, yet dont really excell in the actual rapping part. i assume a lot of said asians are in the zulu nation and are therefore real hip hoppers. so does that mean that mean that rap isnt one of da 4 elements? or just that asians are the other three? jackie chain is a black man.

what about KO? he did so much for Korean rappers everywhere

as for why? fuck if I know. Maybe it’s hard to read lyrics when you’re always thinking about math and karate. Naw but really some of my best friends are Asian rappers so I can say these things because I don’t give a fuck about their feelings. Maybe one day some asian mc will blow up, Jin tried and failed but you can always dream.

white people walk like this. but black people walk like this. get it? or more specifically, how come people buy this whole “rap is poetry/ jay-z lyrics book” thing? isnt it rapped by a specific rapper person and listened to audioabily for a reason? didnt that occour to anyone? really tho. decoded would probably make a good read and i fucks with snoop’s cover of the vapors. doggystyles just got illegal business? sophomore album syndrome, the albums grand fuck all that noise. it has pooh on the boards. fuck that lodi dodi cover tho.

meant to answer this yesterday and I had something all typed up too but then I left and it is gone.

I don’t know why people want to read rap, out of context and especially if you just don’t know slang or how to even pick up on it then what’s the point?  Seems more like an exercise in transcribing than anything if they even bother, energy is better spend fixing all the failed aspects of ohhla.

Anyways what I would rather see than any of these books on the science of an specific artist or lets read rap with grad students is a documentary in the style of Dirty States of America. I’m much more interested in the development of regional styles and how they reflect the local scenes that they come from and the crews that they spawned. I don’t need another book telling me th abc’s of rap history or breaking down multi-syllables. I’d rather hear stories than read about the science of breath control.

What’s awesome about Dirty States is how it focuses on regional scenes and sounds. It’s really well done and surpassed my expectations by far. If you haven’t seen it I can’t recommend it enough, it’s worth it just to see J-Dawg gangster walk in hiking boots. That and all the old memphis footage was pretty awesome.

gucci coulda gotten the gucci leather print on his face. bet 1997 master p is like “nah whoadie fuck that, that coulda been my cheek.” while 2007 masterp is all “thank fuck facial tatoos werent as prevelant in rap back then or it coulda occurred to my (then) dumb ass” as he sips room temperature tea and asks his pr guy what this wholesome entertainment with positive black role models might actually entail. but what i really wanna know is why does/did anyone fuck with The Game? especially post g-unit and internet era. you cant even google the cunt.

I have no idea why people ever listened to the Game. To me he only existed so that rappers could use beats he paid for on their mixtapes. That was the only use, it was obvious he didn’t know wtf to do with those beats anyways. 

If the game wants to make a comeback maybe he should hit up all the people he name dropped for a helping hand.

i have a question to ask, why is there two places to ask questions? it would imply that you are enthusiastic about answering questions and that they fall into neither the “bullshit” or “questions i probably dont want to answer” catagories, disregarding the obvious eligibility of this question for both. so whats the deal? what ha’nin? what it do? mane?

I did not know this. On accident I changed the theme and never bothered to actually look at the tumblr page

fuck that. i eat burritos with rice. and avacado. and fuckin ketchup. what.

no issue with avocado, if you want to waste time with rice go ahead. It’s not my concern if you enjoy tubes of starch, just make sure they don’t have peas and carrots in your rice.

how is saying you can pullahoelikeamuhfuckintugofwar a good description of your game? surely that would require another man pulling at the opposite end of the ho, which is really more of a love triangle and therefore not at all baller. iv been racking my brains for months, its a bit of a pickle.

you can pull hoes that don’t want to be pulled. You know like rape and forcible rape
