I miss moshpitting! @gaporter - I had tickets to a booked out 100 Gecs concert that was suppose to happen this year in June! Me and a few friends were really excited! The concert sold out on the day and I knew the crowd would’ve been crazy and fun! 😩

I would in a heartbeat. Flockaveli is one of the most influential and necessary albums of the past decade whether you want to admit it or not. And for a trap album, the production has aged very very well. Hard in da Paint, No Hands, and Grove Street Party still hold up to this day and still get played constantly at parties.

can you expand on this, ie how it was so influential? I’m not familiar with it and just listened to it. Would be hard pass for me

If you've listened to any mainstream rap in the last decade, you'd definitely hear the influence. If you're automatically saying it would be a hard pass though, I take it you don't (and that's perfectly fine). Around the late 2000's - early 2010's, there was a huge shift in the direction of rap. Lex Luger, who produced majority of Flockaveli, created a new orchestral sound for the trap subgenre (beats like BMF, Hard in da Paint, HAM) which brought the genre to the mainstream, and a lot of other producers started trying to replicate the sound. The entire 808 Mafia production crew ended up growing from originally Lex and Southside to TM88, Fuse, Tarentino amongst many others and rappers from Gucci, Rick Ross, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Future, Young Thug, and Travis Scott frequently featured these producers on their tapes. Artists like Chief Keef have also molded their sound around the style that Waka popularized. The entire south started to really blow up and a lot of the production style as well as the "loud, in-your-face delivery" you hear on Flockaveli can still be heard in today's mainstream releases.

It's not for everybody & you don't have to enjoy the influence it has had, but it definitely is an important release in my opinion.

If this album is responsible for popularizing that sound, it is an important record, because it ruined rap. That is the most despicable sound in the history of rap in my opinion.

You clearly have a thoughtful approach to it, and I mean no disrespect. But as a golden age rap fan, that sound is truly the ruin the genre.

I’ve mentioned this before, that I love Rick Ross but he has never made a great record, because he always includes a few songs that sound just like BMF which completely ruin it. So yeah, not a fan! lol

Worse than the snap era? hmmm... idk man.... i also don't think rap has ever been ruined though. It has been great since the start. New styles came and went but the real never stopped.
 
Hah well, I have mostly checked out since that sound came into popularity, other than the legends that kept putting out quality like Jay and Kanye, and the couple of new school legends like Earl and Kendrick. I’d have to google the snap era to even know what it is. The real may still be alive, but it used to be part of the mainstream which it no longer is.

agree that this just isn’t my jam in terms of rap styles. I like some trap, the old schoolers, I can get down with some Future, I like Rick Ross mainly bc of his voice I think (though I haven’t picked up the record). But otherwise not into it... thanks earlier to the explanation of his, and his producers influence.

also - wtf kind of name is Waka Flocka Flame? :sneaky::ROFLMAO:❌

Every time I hear the words "Waka Flocka Flame" it immediately puts the Rap God lyrics & beat into my head lol
"Walk you off a plank n what the fuck you thinking little gay looking boy, so gay I can barely say it with a straight face looking boy..." etc 😂😂😂

You need to be with me in person when you listen to Die Lit! Trust me! 😂

Seriously! It’s a minimal, modern, infectious, New York-late nights, tilted, trippy, computerised sounding album! The futuristic-digitalised production with Playboi Carti’s trendy ad-libs and quirky rapping makes Die Lit one of the most stylish, good-looking hip-hop albums of the 2010’s! 💯
