"Bass" was the first time I heard anything Clams. and I'm too old to be obsessed over a rapper, lmao.Ī couple of things are funny to me about the whole Clams Casino shit. I was like: 'the new generation aint got that raw in them. And by 2010, I really thought this hip hop shit was done.
So when hip hop started falling the fuck off around 2004, I started digging more into stuff I'd missed. You gotta understand - I heard "Hell on Earth" in real time. Right! And that's what's crazy to me about the whole Rocky thing. Not that many people are doing that kind of hip hop that well, so there's not a lot of cats I'm into right now. I'm big on the Mobb and a lot of dark sounding hip hop so that comparison clicked to me. I remember some dude on YouTube saying saying that tape's like a current day "Hell On Earth". I actually really liked Savage Mode, 21's delivery is so odd but it works so well especially over Metro's stuff. Like everyday I'll fine something new on Spotify or YouTube lol. I'm still listening to a lot of older music currently. The guy mixed a lot of stuff from different coasts and took something obscure that Lil B was doing (I didn't realize the coast mixing stuff until I started listening to more older stuff however). But man looking back Rocky was on some other shit. So going into $AP I was familiar with him but man this shit was like next level to me! "Palace", "Bass", "Wassup", "Demons", "Kissin Pink" blew my mind! The music on there was also a lot more "polished" then Lil B's stuff so it was easier to listen to. I had heard some of Clams' earlier stuff with Lil B like "I'm God", "Realist Alive" & "Real Shit From A Real N**a" and I thought it was so dope. Like prior to it I was listening to stuff here and there like typical main stream shit but I wasn't that into it. That's the tape that made me fall in love with hip hop. posted in said in What are your top 5 Future Oh word, you're a older head! That's cool. LSD and Pharsyde are decent, beautiful songs in their own right.įantano is a grooveless white boy who frequently shows that he doesn't get hard, actual hip hop. At first I was disappointed in it because the snippet of JD sounded much more energetic but JD is actually a really strong Rocky song. I loved LPFJ2 and still think it's super fire. I remember being super disappointed in ALLA and I haven't gone back to listen to it. That includes Interscope poster boy Kendrick Lamar, aka Ducktales Lamar. Because if we keep it fuckin real, 99% of new rappers in the entire game have never released albums as good as LongLiveASAP or At Long Last ASAP. but trash for my expectation of Rocky, not trash in comparison to what everyone else is releasing. I personally thought his last album was trash.
I say this because his every musical move is judged way harsher than the rest. Rocky really is the leader of the new school.
