To quote Deen: “I should really just title this “the reason why I truly fux with Lex Luger.” Like many others, I was initially of the opinion that all his shit sounded the same. Once I heard the synths on this shit, I realized that the kid had “it” and was worth devoting my listening time to. I’ve been rewarded for my investment a few times over at this point, as most of my favorite songs this year have been produced by Lex Luger.”
I imagine that the old school reads that read this blog are going into conniptions (sorry Dart). But I will ride for this and Flocka on the strength of the fact that this music is designed to be played before high school sporting events (and or/at Grove St. parties). No 16 year old today is going to be bump The Infamous like we did. Flocka and Lex make music to decapitate running backs and sprain opponents’ ankles. It doesn’t need to be any more. And no matter what you think about Flocka, you cannot argue with a dancing Fozzie Bear chain.

I’m a big fan of this one. Flockaveli was a really well produced album.

Favorite song from “Flockaveli”, and favorite song from last year. That is is slowly growing into a hit is great, but the drug/alcohol loving nature of the song could not be more lost in single edit (so is the world radio rap singles sadly).

Sach’s actually a pretty big Flocka fan. I don’t think you’re allowed to DJ if you don’t see the worthiness of “Hard in the Paint.”

Truth is, I don’t really have a problem with ,any rappers, I just have a problem when people say things that are patently false about them. Gucci is not a lyrical genius: he’s a dopey party rapper who makes fun songs. Same with Lil B: he is not profound, just stoned and goofy. Like, I don’t go around saying Roc Marci is the FUTUREOFRAP just cuz I like the guy, I’m perfectly willing to concede that he’s a rapper operating within a specific mode for a specific audience and I happen to be a part of that audience. I just dislike when the media hype machine builds up these guys and forgets about them 6 months later when someone new comes along: it’s just a groundless and flighty way to look at music to me.
As for Waka, no one says he’s a lyrical genius anyways, pretty much everyone agrees he’s a very good at yelling hype shit over Luger beats.
