since my day is stupidly unproductive so far...
for those of you out there who can stomach rap--and no i'm not talking about the self-righteous self-referential backpacker kind--and have at least a passing interest in some of the stuff going on in quasi-commercial hip hop these days... you should really really really check these guys out if you haven't yet.
DJ Paul and Juicy J are both really really excellent producers, pulling from southern crunk, g-funk, and NY old-skool soul grabbin' shit. hell i even hear something similar in sensibility to garage/grime tracks at times, but i wouldn't say they were influenced by it because they've been around for a long long time.
Furthermore all the rappers involved are pretty interesting one way or another... naturally much of the content is G-Fare, but its very very well done, Juicy J has got to be one of the best rappers i've heard in a long long time in terms of flow, cadence, etc.
tracks you might want to check out: "Stay Fly" (this was pretty popular recently) "Sippin' on Some Syrup" "Ridin' Spinners" "Ghetto Chick" "Roll with it" "Pussy got ya Hooked"
i know there has to be at least a few fans out there... the time to rep is now.
of all the southern groups/artists i've listened to in the last 6 months or so, these guys move me the most, and their back catalogue is pretty massive, with lots of club gems.

Slob on my knob like corn on the cob lay in the bed and giv me head
LOLster
But if you cut out the lyrics of sippin on sizurp the tunes are great. Around this time black people in my area (girls) carried little baby bottles full of what would have been MD20/20

i feel bad, i sort of made some antagonizing statements in the first post with regards to stuff like that. i do like some of it. i'm pretty tired of it at this point tho.

cool thanks.
yeah, its weird for me being up here in Canadia, because a lot of my exposure to this stuff is very very much removed from its original context. even now, there are countless singles that break in the States through play on commercial Hip Hop radio that barely see the light of day up here... i was joking with a friend, that he needs to send me weekly charts from down south.

His taste is broad and his horizons are wide. How can one see the stars without the proper equipment. This man is the hubble telescope when it comes to tunes.

this is what we in the industry call an "anti-pretension guard". i can now procede to name drop any ridiculously indulgent experimental act under the sun and you still won't have shit on me.
:P but in all seriousness i find a lot of the production to be quite excellent by rap standards.
Pusher'man: do it up.
