My favorite Westside Gunn songs make me feel like I’m spending my days bouncing around jazz clubs with Italian socialites similar to Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Through his work with Mach-Hommy, Sadhugold consistently makes beats that sound like I’m standing on a Park Hill street corner with the Wu-Tang Clan in ’93. It was made to soundtrack a routine day in Buffalo. If the suit signals that I spend my weekends at the Belmont race track and have a law office in the basement of a sandwich shop in Bensonhurst, it’s the right suit.Ĭonductor Williams’ “Michael Irvin” beat is bleak.
Not a normal suit-more like the suits Mickey Rourke wears in The Pope of Greenwich Village, or maybe the suit Carmelo Anthony wore on his draft day. I feel like I should be wearing a suit while listening to this Daringer beat. At its simplest it is about of having a theme, an other theme, a variation and then winding it up to a conclusion. You ask a big question here, there are many ways to structure a song. You will learn a lot from just pushing buttons and turning knobs.
And though I’m by no means saying that Harlow deserves to be lumped in with the likes of Asher Roth and Lil Dicky, it just feels important to note that “WHATS POPPIN” wouldn’t be the second-biggest song in the country without the comforting white face both TikTok and Lyrical Lemonade’s YouTube audience love. Innovation comes from creativity and experimentation. An abundance of white rappers before him have emerged in similar fashion, skating by on brighter and less complicated versions of better music. With lyrics about eating fettuccine and wearing bedazzled belts, “WHATS POPPIN” is the type of song you can just throw on and not have to process. He seems like the type of guy you would find around a college campus, maybe at the basketball court or pumping a keg. Harlow is likable, and I’m often charmed by him, too. So the video is exactly what you would expect: A fun clip where Harlow hangs out with his crew and some girls in and outside of a late-night diner spot-it’s generic.
On “WHATS POPPIN,” Harlow brings a white-guy goofiness to a sound that’s normally a shade darker. The album was also released as an instrumental version and deluxe edition with a bonus DVD the following year.Jack Harlow’s music is a lot like Cole Bennett’s videos. Its only single, "Hold You Down" featuring Prodigy, Nina Sky and Illa Ghee, peaked at #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. He has released seven albums, four EPs, and a number of singles and collaborations. The album peaked at #101 on the US Billboard 200 and #11 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Ali Douglas Newman (born Jason Douglas Newman, July 30, 1977), better known by his stage name Brother Ali, is an American rapper, community activist, and member of the Rhymesayers Entertainment hip hop collective. Heres what I suggest, go through all the Albino presets, saving your favorites as you go along and tweaking them how you want as well. The album was solely produced by The Alchemist and features guest vocalists including Prodigy, The Game, The LOX, Nas, M.O.P., Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks, T.I. Although I dont have Albino myself, from looking at its features, it seems to me that it might as well be the best synth for Hip Hop.
