Mar 2, 2020 Day 16 XanMan, of Gucci Down fame, attacks the beat like a wide-eyed crackhead lurching at you with a broken beer bottle. His bars have almost no semblance of structure, crashing into each other in a stream of non-sequiturs that would make Ghostface shudder. But godamn if it isnt entertaining. In the space of 2 minutes he's f----- your b---- so many times you've lost count, chewing-with-his-mouth-open disrespectful and made smilies out of references as disparate as D12, Harriet Tubman, R Kelly and Trayvon Martin. The kid might be a genius.
Mar 2, 2020 This is the song you play while you chug 2 litres of freshly opened sprite. In other words: Hard.
Mar 2, 2020 not yet but im gonna start with bartier bounty got any recs? ive heard most of his best stuff is loosies
Mar 2, 2020 I'M LOVING THIS SAV MY MAN a breath of fresh air, I've always loved this kind of free MCs
Mar 2, 2020 Had my daily dose of Clipse today on my way to work, I always make that screw face as soon as this beat drops. Pharrell and Chad were fools for this s---, it really never will get old.
Mar 3, 2020 Day 17 Yep, I'm dead serious. This is what I'm listening to right now. Zack Fox described this best: Lil B deconstructed everything. Young Thug came in and rearranged the pieces as he saw fit. Carti picked them up played with them. 645AR picks up what Carti started, inhaled a bunch of helium and.... I have no idea what will happen next. But it is fascinating.
Mar 3, 2020 Idk bout that one. I mean it's funny as h--- but would you really consider this more than just a parody or a temporary viral hit?
Mar 3, 2020 For real, uptempo house rap might be the new wave. Kanye already did it with Fade back in '16 and now with Ego Death. Wild Youngster was an amazing song too
Mar 3, 2020 Could either way imo tbh. Dude has a full album of s--- that sounds like this. And he's got some serious momentum going. Definitely leaning more towards the meme side of things but weirder things have happened.
Mar 4, 2020 Day 18 Key Glock doesn't have the same omnipotent mic presence as his cousin Young Dolph (to be fair, literally no one does) but that doesn't stop him from making some of the hardest, crunchiest Memphis rap out there today. On the second track of his latest (and imo, his best) album Yellow Tape, Glock interpolate Snoop and Dre's G Thang over an earth-rattling beat cut by an abrupt little riff that sounds like car tires squealing in a late night police chase. Slap of the highest caliber.
Mar 6, 2020 Day 20 One of the best songs (off one of the best albums) to ever come out of the TDE camp. "man that s--- gon be the death of me"
Mar 7, 2020 Day 21 Its been exactly five years since Maxo dropped his second album/mixtape - and the one that made me a fan - MAXO187. Although his subsequent projects have all been excellent, critically acclaimed and commercially successful, with Maxo improving in leaps and bounds, there was something about this project that holds it apart from the others. Its the rawness, the gritty, grimy, filthiness of songs like these that sound like they were recorded in the trap house basement with Maxo clutching his gun in one hand and a bag in the other, occasionally peering over his shoulder to make sure the feds weren't knocking down the door. Cinematic.
Mar 8, 2020 Day 22 The much hyped mid-00's union between G Unit x Mobb Deep never really resulted in the greatness that was promised. There were a few notable exceptions though, this aptly titled song being one of them. Here we get a horror soundtrack courtesy of none other than Dre himself, with the grand thumping bass slowly building up to a screeching psychotic climax. Prodigy and Havoc reignite the hunger that was so often lacking from their mid-career music and 50 takes a page of the Mobb's book, expertly balancing the macabre of the streets with its emotional toll.
Mar 9, 2020 Day 22 Leaked in advance of his 2018 Beware The Book of Eli mixtape (but ultimately left off the final tracklisting), Worldwide is one of those everything-you-want out of a Ski Mask song. A classic Timbaland interpolation, flows that bounce off the walls like hyperactive kids in a confined space, a series of ridiculous smilies that run over each other and sprinkled with a generous helping of hilarious cartoonish adlibs and you have yourself the formula for another one of those Ski songs that show why despite his lack of a defining project - is still one of the most exciting and talented voices in the game right now. And has been for a while.
