HipHop Verses/Adlibs That Became Random Vocal Stims For You?

There's like 100+ bars from Gucci Mane's mixtape discography alone that are like vocal stims for me to say randomly, but the ones that always stuck around the most were his adlibs. Ever since I went on a deep-dive in his discography I'd catch mysef randomly going like "Yeeeaaahhh", "BRRR!", or "'SGucciiiii!".

Does anybody else have any artists they do this with?

Anderson .Paak and Cordae to release collab album "Heavy Is The Crown" on October 23rd

Pre-orders of physical copies have started appearing on online stores, such as RRC, listing the release date as October 23rd

> Nine-time GRAMMY® winner Anderson .Paak and GRAMMY®-nominated rapper Cordae have been operating on the same wavelength for years. What started as pure chemical reaction on 2019’s “RNP” slowly turned into one of hip-hop’s most natural, low-ego partnerships, fueled by back-and-forth gems like “Two Tens” and “Summer Drop” and a series of dynamic TV performances that felt more like two best friends hanging out than a polished routine. On their debut collaborative album, Heavy Is The Crown, that organic bond gets the full-length treatment it’s always deserved.

> At its core, the project is a tightrope walk between serious real-life stakes and uncompromising fun. The title isn't just bravado—it speaks directly to the shared weight both artists carry as the primary providers and anchors for their families. But instead of letting that pressure crush the vibe, .Paak and Cordae lean into each other. Meeting as total equals, .Paak’s elastic, soul-drenched musicality anchors Cordae’s razor-sharp lyricism, allowing both to unpack the heavy reality of success and family responsibility without ever losing their spark.

> That balance is what makes the album tick. To drive the point home, the album art pays homage to the cult comedy Step Brothers—a nod to the silly, irreverent friendship that birthed the music in the first place. Heavy Is The Crown doesn't feel like a forced corporate crossover or a calculated career move. It’s a record about brotherhood, family, and what happens when two masters of their craft step into the studio simply because nobody makes them laugh, rap, or create quite like the other.

> Production by J. Cole, 9th Wonder, Hollywood Cole, Conductor Williams, Swizz Beatz, FNZ, The Collective, Soul Anderson & Caleb

What Are Some Common Takes On Rappers Or HipHop As A Whole That You Disagree With/Think Is Played Out By This Point?

Narratives that you see either here on this subreddit or on other online spaces that you just think is straight up wrong or you hear it enough that it becomes a cliché and makes you go "Alright, alright. We get it already!"

"So-and-so has been trash since their 3rd album/4th album/5th album", "When you listen back to it, so-and-so really had the worst/best verse on this song", "So-and-so only has one good album in their discography!" Type shit

Realistically, how do you think Aaliyah’s career would have evolved?

I’m curious how her career would have actually aged.

Do you think she would have been bigger than life persona like Janet or Bey.

Or do you think her trajectory would have looked more like other 2000s R&B (like Ashanti, Brandy Ciara, or Keyshia Cole)

What rappers who fell off did you actually go back to check the rest of their music & you realized you liked?

When I say "fell off" I'm not talking about rappers who had a solid run & then buzzed out (say A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for instance) I'm talking about rappers who were 1 hit wonders or who were known for a few songs & were then forgotten?

I got this idea from recently hearing Nebu Kinizas "Gassed Up" randomly for the first time since 2017 in spotify shuffle where it randomly came into my playlist as a recommended song & I got a hit with a bunch of nostolgia. So out of curiosity I decided to check out more of Nebus music & holy cow was I surprised how much of a vibe his music is

For those wondering hes a melodic rapper where he sings a lot in his music & is similar to Don Toliver/Lil tecca/Trippie Redd/Sofaygo type artists. It's like he was ahead of his time essentially but nonetheless I'ma definitely check out more artists music who fell off & see how they are. But I guess I'm now a Nebu fan even if hes super inconsistent with dropping music LMFAOO, never would've thought I said this but here we are

Fav songs so far since I'm not quite finished with all his music yet- Rose Petals, Patience, No Pressure, Can't Call It

Leonard Cohen and his legacy

When people talk about the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Joni Mitchell are usually the first names to cross everyone's lips. Yet, Leonard Cohen often sits a tier below in casual mainstream conversation—relegated to "critique darling" status or known primarily by a single, widely-covered song (Hallelujah).

This feels like a massive oversight. Cohen’s lyricism is fiercely visceral, combining bleak existential weight with stunning poetic beauty, dark humor, and rare vulnerability. Tracks like Famous Blue Raincoat, Suzanne, Bird on the Wire, and his later work like You Want It Darker display a mastery of language that few lyricists ever touch.

Thoughts?

Various - Warp 10+3 (1999)

This was the compilation that cemented Warp Records as the pioneer in Ambient music.
This compilation introduced to me great ambient bands like Mira Calix, ISAN, Ellis Island Sound, Labradford…
You can listen to all tracks in YouTube of course.
Exclusive Boards on Canada track on here too remixed by Stereolab.
