who is this guy, Mel Gibson?

SGP kicked Mike Dece out of Klan, Dece dissed on twitter, Key Nyata and a few other Raiders got stupid butthurt and instantly start calling Dece a cracker whiteboy via twitter. Denzel told Key Nyata to shut the fuck up cuz he was west coast. Ruben Slikk and Dece continued to go off on Raider Klan. People tried to get Denzel Curry to side with Raider Klan. Curry drops a miss my homies song dedicated to not wanting to twit beef with Proper Boys. Spaceghostpurp got real quiet for once. He supposedly booted Dece for not "fitting in with what a Raider is".

Raider Klan is falling apart on twitter this weekend.

well thats what happens when ur a social outcast from hollywood florida and try to recruit other social outcast from other cities and form a gang theres no real sense of brother hood just a bunch of kids trying to fit into something with life which happens to be making karaoke three 6 mafia shit

His name is DJ Dogdick. He gets a pass.

who is this guy, Mel Gibson?

i like the writeup but i think your logic gets a little tangled when you talk about the nostalgia thing.

seems like you could've just simplified it to 'yes a lot of this sounds throwback-ish but just saying they do 90s memphis karaoke is too simplistic because they draw on several regions and periods at once and that's what separates their approach from the rest who just pick one regional/temporal niche and try to replicate it'. no need for the strawman argument of 'this is what 21st century nostalgia rap is and they're not that'. it confuses things and you're making sweeping generalizations that may not hold up to closer inspection.

or something like that


but don't get me wrong i'm not knocking you, you make tons of valid points and just the overall scope of this undertaking is impressive. especially since so much of their shit starts to run together after a while

oh i know that blurb was very simplistic, it was more of an example than a serious revision. what you wrote def has more nuance, it just gets muddled by the tangent about nostalgia categories.

i'm curious what you think about other kids of this upcoming generation taking such overt cues from the 90s

which ones? So much of that shit going on I find it hard to sift through to be honest. And I skip over a lot of it. I'm about to check out the Joey Badass thing that came out today. Not a big fan of most NYC golden era knockoffs though. I'd much rather listen to someone like Ka or Roc Marci, who actually lived through the era and have the enlightenment and wisdom of 40 year old as opposed to 17 year olds.

In general what appeals to me about Raider Klan is not the nostalgic element, but their selection of unusual source material, and the choice of imagery and production techniques employed mainly by SGP, but also by other Klan members in pockets. Just a more interesting approach to me, and more novel.

Not really interested in someone trying to recapture the vibe of Native Tongues or Wu-Tang or Boot Camp Clik too much... people have been trying to do that for 15 years now. Including Native Tongues members, Wu-Tang, and Boot Camp Clik.

i was asking specifically about kids like wiki and joye badass and really couldn't agree more

here are some thoughts I put together on the subject.http://hardwoodblacktop.com/2012/06/12/ ... idxr-klvn/
