solefoodsreal asked: you're a big fag. you have to understand squadda's early/current discography to write an accurate or even reliable review for Back $ellin Crack. Like, honestly who the fuck are you? Do you know anything about Main Attrakionz? Or do you just dick ride whatever you find on blogs and then criticize it for being exactly that?

Today is probably going to be a long day, so let’s get it started off on the right foot with this lovely message, I woke up to this morning. 

First Sentence: really, really?!

Second Sentence: Ha. Ha. Ha. The amount of music that the Main Attrakionz camp—along with their producers—release would preclude that even if I was a huge fan of their work. Saying this again, but most rappers would just be better off with one release in a year, and pushing that instead of flooding the channel with music that only diehard fans will wade through to find the good stuff. Waka Flocka Flame released an amazing album last year, if you were willing to go through the 7 to 8 mixtapes/albums he released last year. Once more: SEVEN to EIGHT all in one year. 

First Question: I am David Turner. I am getting ready to start my Spring Sophomore semester at Elon University. I write about music a lot. I cry a lot, I am now just sort realizing. And I learning more and more about myself as this school year go on. So, shorter: I am a teen living life. Also, love Parks and Rec. 

Second Question: I know Main Attrakionz are rappers; their manager wrote for the really cool blog Space Age Hustle, and I have been never a big fan of their rapping, even though I still love “Legion of Doom”. 

Third Question: TL; DR for this question is: hahaha. But, I’ll give it a bit more than that.

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I mean, will I make up reasons to dislike music, when the music itself gave me enough reasons to not care about it. I still don’t think Main Attrakionz are interesting rap personalities, as they still demonstrate a lack of ability to rap well at all, so of course I am not going to be too positive on their music. And, just to extend this a bit further. At this blog I stopped caring about being timely with music posts well over a year ago, so there are rare cases you won’t find music here that hasn’t been talked about somewhere else. And more importantly, unless I am talking about some pop song or really local rap song, of course I am going to talk about music I found on blogs, because that is the primary way at this point to find out about new music, especially when I am in the middle of North Carolina, not exactly a rap hot bed.

Who Mastered This?: Back $elling Crack

 

The Numbers:

“DJing”: N/A

Length: At only 13 tracks, it could be far worse. 7/10

Production: Left of field of samples and a faux Lex Luger beat, this is 2011 tumblr rap. 5/10

Quality of Producer Names: “BK Beats”, “YS”, and “Star Status” are all great, but “Bk Beats” is why this section exits. 9/10

Sound Quality: Besides Squadda B sounding like he is rapping under water (which might just be his voice), the sound is fine. 7/10

The Review:

After a few listens, it becomes obvious the most interesting part of Back $elling Crack is its cartoon stylized shitty mixtape covered inspired by the quality artwork that fills the servers of datpiff.com. Squadda B’s rapping is pretty low stakes focusing on being thankful for his current life along with enjoying girls and other substances. These qualities can make fine rap music, but Squadda B doesn’t quite have a persona or vision to hold it up. And even the quality young produces—Skywlkr & nem270, who have done better—cannot carry the light load this mixtape asks. So, while it is hard to have a strong distain for this mixtape, it’s harder to image what would cause to people to even have a mild admiration for this project.
