Really Excited:

-none-

Cautiously/Mildly Excited:

Young Wicked (I anticipate a full blown panic attack with intermittent bouts of snotty sobfests… also can’t wait to hear his new recipe for Otis Spongecake.)

Not Really Excited:

Boondox, Blaze, Twiztid, The ROC, Triple Threat.

Haven’t Given the Time of Day To:

Gorilla Voltage, G-Mo, Lex, AMB, Bonez.

G-Mo. I listened to that track and watched the video (you know, the one with throwing the GameCube off the roof or something)… I really enjoyed it the first time for its simplease beat and different direction from the usual Twiztid crew.

Then, weeks later, I played it again. Then, I grew up. Right then and there. This guy is a fucking goddamned goofball. That skin coat shit? He comes across as Brotha Lynch Hung’s embarrassing nephew. The one that emulates his uncle aND tries to be funny and interesting at the family barbecue. He acts like he eats his own boogers. 

Really Excited:

Boondox, G-Mo Skee.

Boondox is one of my favs, and G-Mo’s album is killer, I want more of that.

Cautiously/Mildly Excited:

Twiztid, Triple Threat, Zodiac Mprint, Lex, AMB

The Darkness wasn’t their best, so I am hopeful they’re closer to Abominationz level. Triple Threat can swing both ways, can be epic, can be disappointing. The Zodiac Mprint EP had some solid songs, so this can be good. Lex EPs were good, his album was just more of the same. AMB’s last album was great, but YW last EP makes me doubt they can reach the same or better quality.

Not really excited:

Blaze, Gorilla Voltage, Young Wicked, ROC

Blaze’s solo efforts have never really got me excited. The Gorilla Voltage I’ve heard is not for me. Young Wickeds EP was just meh. ROC’s solo stuff just doesn’t do it.

Twiztid

YW

Boondox

Gmo

Blaze

Lex

ROC

I dont feel its fair to rank gorilla voltage based off of a couple songs

The new Lex and Gmo albums are fucking amazing. Gmos is actually my favorite mne has put out so far. 

YW goes hard as fuck on the new EP. His growth has been fucking substantial. Throw on bloodbath in your ride and let the bass rattle your balls. 

That’s the last thing I wanna mention. I love the beat selection on all the albums so far. Never was a huge blaze mark but the beats for his last album really made him shine. MNE is fucking killing it right now. ROC is the only one i dont listen to. Just dont like his flow, nothing personal.

Really Excited: Lex & Twiztid

– Lex had album of the year imo and having someone on MNE from Queens just feeds my NYC bias.

– Twiztid I’m always looking forward to and can’t wait to hear the new album next week.

Cautiously Excited: G-MO, ROC & Guerrilla Voltage

– I really dig G-MO, but thought his debut LP was a flop.

– ROC I’m pumped for because when the hell did we last get a ROC LP? 

– Guerrilla Voltage because I definitely liked what I heard, but will be cautious to listen to their debut before I purchase. Their type of music I can bump for a month or so, but it usually doesn’t have staying power. Hoping they’re different but time will tell.

Not That Excited For: Blaze & YW

– Blaze has definitely seen his better days in my eyes. To me, I just always expect to see him hanging around. I’ll bump his older shit from time to time, but he’s just “meh”.

– YW because of the latest happenings.

0%: Boondox

– Ya, Boondox sucks ass… Should have at least gone with a new approach (ie Turncoat Dirty)

I’m always excited for new Twiztid songs, even though I can totally understand scruffy’s point.

Besides that.. can anyone name, lets say, three “awesome” songs by Boondox? I ever wondered why people like hime, it didnt matter to me like at all, when he jumped ship. Only song I like is “Monster” and this is mainly because of the chorus/sample by Meg & Dia.  

Some of my favorites are his more novelty tracks. Here’s some thst I recall overall:

Heathen

Sippin’ 

My Van 

Death of a Hater

Abaddon 

I also liked Monster but it’s true: almost anyone could’ve rapped with that sample and beat and it would sound decent.

1)twiztid

2-???)the rest of the roster. honestly, they’re all awful imo

unrated:young wicked…fuck that dude and mne from now til they close up shop for signing em

and i’m not very familiar with GV or Boondox and I only like YW from Killjoy Club from what I’ve heard.  can’t really rank these guys yet.  when Boondox drops i’ll probably check it out and revisit his old discography at the same time  

boondox has a couple good songs, even tho his image is not for me. and by good songs i mean great songs cuz i didnt think i would ever like a “boondox” song. 

he fucking killed shit on psychopathic rydas: Duk Da Fuk Down, seriously his flow and delivery and lyrics were fucking fire on that album…everyone brought their A-game on that album

I went and looked at his tracklisting again, and surprisingly, I like more of his songs than I remember. He is really pretty good overall.

I remember getting South of Hell, however. I only truly remember two songs, Lezbehonest and Toast 2 The Fam. They weren’t bad.

Really that’s all that made an impression on me.

Abaddon was pretty excellent. Great emotion on that one. I like that track with the guy from Vilebillies.  

i pretty much like his sex and drinking songs…but rydas shows his potential

as for abaddon, i dont member it, either i never got to it or nothing stood out for me…i’ll have to run that back.

but lezbehonest and my lil freak bitch and that jugs song off of south of hell are fucking great.

some “boondox” themed songs were ok for me, but nothing i can name off the top of my head

i guess being intoxicated is blocking my memory at the moment, and making me too lazy to google real quick
