cant say ive ever liked Ross hes like Chris Brown for me in that i made up my mind about their music first and for most long before theyre big career changing events made them the people they are today.
that said there is a joylessness in the "Stay Schemin" beat that i keep coming back to

Rick Ross first came out rhyming Atlantic with Atlantic. If he never raps another word, he'll go down as one of the greatest of all-time. I can't think of another artistic quantum leap as significant.

This is probably apocryphal, but someone once told me that Rick Ross used to constantly call the Slip N Slide offices, begging Trick Daddy to put him on, and Trick would duck his phone calls until he finally relented. No clue if that's true, but that's the persistence dude had.

It's wild to think that Ross debuted on the Erick Sermon "Erick Onasis" album in 1999. It took seven full years to get from there to "Hustlin." And there was a Suave House deal in between. What a legend.

When "Mafia Music" dropped it forced even the most skeptical of us to admit that he'd finally put it all together. It was so undeniable that 50's repeated humiliations didn't matter. He started out in the late 90s calling himself Teflon Da Don and somehow really became that.

is crowley going to give us a bi-weekly/monthly rap roundup? top 10-30 tracks that you like that came out in that time.
Absolutely. When "When Vultures Cry" leaked, everyone was thinking it was a jail-phone recording, but it seems to not be the case? One of the weirdest and most original beats / styles I've heard in a minute.
So funny watching him interact with his neighbours too.

Some interesting stuff in this re conditions and culture in South Bronx that laid the ground hip hop

Runs through the usual "actually, there are four elements" bit at the beginning but goes onto lesser well wrung out oral histories and insight on the communities involved. Also available as podcast in the usual places

i'm slightly too young for lil wayne. i remember carter 3 being huge, but was too young to dissect it musically. i'm not old enough to be aware of his context, what he did new, what his influence has been. tried googling it but wasn't very fruitful. can you lot explain wayne for me?

flooding the market with mixtapes. being weird. and the intersection between the two, the sense of a fidgety, protean creativity with no off-button. unfiltered. like it just gushed out of him. he started peaking when jay-z was supposed to be the official best rapper alive so when wayne started saying he was it was an interesting moment. people thought, actually, he is isnt he? hes better than jay z at this. they made a good contrast. change in sensibility.
