T-Rock & Kingpin Skinny Pimp “Poppin’ Rubberbands (Remix)”

I would do bad things to good people to get a full album’s worth of tracks from these two over some faux-Luger loud shit.

Kingpin Skinny Pimp Ain’t Flaugin’

The father of Soulja’s Boys best styles, Kingpin Skinny Pimp is back with Street Mix 2. The first one featured Memphis hiss tape legends like K-Rock, Gangsta Blac, Lil Gin, AK & Z-Dog. This time the big surprise is Killer from Ski Mask Boyz. Lord Infamous (on an awesome Minnie Ripperton jam), Crunchy Black and DJ Zirk also make appearances. Its always cool to see anyone acknowledge that era in Memphis rap. You’ll either dig this stuff and know why… or you won’t.

Soulja Boy & Tyga “Be Quiet”

Monday, August 9th, 2010

One of my favorite pieces of recent rap minutiae has been Soulja Boy’s discovery of 90′s Memphis rap. For a while he has been building toward a full-on use of the style and it seems like he has settled into it when he isn’t cheffing it up with Lil B. The initial acknowledgement of the adaptation came on “My Clientele”, where SB drops a Kingpin Skinny Pimp reference (while pretty much rocking his style [and voice]). On “Be Quiet” with the venerable Tyga, his first verse is all out Yall Aint No Killaz. One more step towards (critical?) legitmacy for Soulja Boy or just a result of some uncle telling the kid he sounds like KSP? I’m A-OK with being the only person who cares about this, by the way.
