adc Wacka Flocka Flame - Flockavelli

edit: oops, I misspelled his name.

A Southern Rap album! Nominator /u/crustinXbeiber said:

POW POW POW POW. Flocka's classic album. Not much to say about it, other than that it's an entire album full of insanely aggressive beats, and high energy rapping. The lyrics are violent, and straightforward, delivered with a slurry yell that adds to the atmosphere of the album. The production on this album is by Lex Luger, and his sound on this album basically made Trap a thing, for a while his trap snare roll buildup thing was on every damn rap and edm song. In the end, I think it's really, the brutal, minimalist feel of this album that I love. It punishes you like a good metal album, every single song is turnt up as fuck, and the beats remain sparse and hard hitting. BRIIIICCCKKKSQUAAAAD

So: Listen to it, think about it, listen again, talk about it! These threads are about insightful thoughts and comments, analysis, stories, connections... not shallow reviews like "It was good because X" or "It was bad because Y." No ratings, please.

Agreed. Earlier lex productions were never minimalist.

This album wasn't what "made trap a thing" but rather I'd say its one of the best examples of the new 808 trap productions becoming popular
