ILOVEMAKONNEN

Since those 3 songs are pretty fucking weak I won't bother checking out more stuff.

this shit is goddamned terrible.

alright now that those 2 predictable posts are out the way this thread can be productive

he should give this joint a real video

i'm getting too old for this. this shit was just not tolerable. i feel like i really reached that point where i'm one of them old cats that just hates everything new. this was really boring, and mediocre and contrived, and formulaic.

again, that prospect song in dudes sig is legit. that's more my speed.

EP is dope, one of my favorite releases so far this year, and his other projects are pretty solid and all have some really good songs on them. Dude is probably going to be bigger as a song writer than artist though even though I really like his stuff. Too Much has been my jam all summer.



same with Look At Wrist by Father featuring ILoveMakonnen and Key! from Two9

Also dude's from LA just been out in ATL the past couple years networking.

I'm so fucking confused. I can't tell if this is serious or not.

I can agree w/ this (the songwriter part at least). "Hold Up" is hella catchy as are a few of his other songs, but the result is kinda shitty cause he can't rap or sing. If he sold that song to Rich Homie Quan it'd be a hit.

I'm tired of these rappers(/singers?) that have no talent to where I'm not sure whether we're supposed to like them ironically or what. I put ilovemakonnen w/ that. Even the whole Lil B movement was corny to me.

I like his singing because it sounds unconventional and I tend to like stuff like that. Is he a good traditional singer? No. But I like his style and I think dude is really good at writing catchy songs like you said. I personally like his rapping too. It reminds me of a lot of old school NYC stuff. Like Fat Boys type flow, pretty formulaic but it works for his sound.

Hey man but honestly to each their own there are literally endless sounds out there to be heard. We aren't all going to like the same stuff and that's cool.

Yeah. And that said, I like a lot of the people he works with (first heard of him through Ethereal, then Pyramid Quince & Archibald Slim as well).

And he's the latest rapper for Soulja Boy to jack his swag/flow, so he might be next for real:

iLoveMakonnen - I like having drugs in my system


Soulja Boy - In My System

lol I swear Soulja Boy must be cashing out people not to beat him up how often he does that shit.

Ethereal is a really dope producer. I first heard Archibald Slim through Father's music after checking his stuff out after liking the Nokia remix ILoveMakonnen is featured on. I liked what I've heard by him but really haven't searched around for projects or whatever. Have any recommendations J @J.E.D.I. ?

Quince I've known about seeing he's part of NRK who I've been a casual fan of for awile now. Their stuff is hit and miss to me depending on the member. Most of the production tends to be on point but some of the rapping gets a pass even from me lol.

You from Atlanta?

Nah, originally Louisville KY, live in California now though. I've just been a fan of Ethereal and Will (ThumbsUp) for a few years now, so I've tried to keep up w/ them, which led me to a bunch of rappers they're associated with.

The only Archibald Slim project I know of dropped about a month ago, "Look What the Cat Dragged In," which is pretty dope imo, but maybe a little repetitive.

I have the same opinion about the rapping when it comes to Quince though (I haven't listened to anyone else in NRK, unless Slim is?), but he has a lot of good songs too.

First album from 2010 that isn't on his page. It's myspace rips and some of the songs ended up on other projects anyways.

Also this is a really good interview/article from back in July. He almost got locked up for his friend's murder, spent two years on house arrest until the charge was finally dropped, and that was when he really started making music.

Also @0R0 you got all of Father's EPs? If not let me know and I can up. I've been fucking with his music about just as much as ILoveMakonnen's lately.



ILM x Father x Key! need to do a group project together.

i dont have any of them actually

Whoa, well that was quick lol Merge with OVO thread? I'm not really a fan of anyone else on there though.

father is #tight & he just dropped his new shit

this remix is fire

Damn yeah, I still prefer the OG but that was dope. Trap Money Benny starting to get some shine too. He produced that new Keef x Fredo song along with HurtboyAG, was all over Gleesh latest project with the production. I really like the kid's stuff, good for him.
