Young Buck “The Blues” (2010, Cashville Records)
This is one of the most astounding beats I’ve heard. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything else before that reminds me of it. I have no idea if this was a song or mixtape that got any attention when it dropped. I really doubt it. Back On My Buck Shit Vol. 2 - Change Of Plans?? It came out last fall? But I would like to hear an entire instrumental album of beats from Drumma Boy that sounded exactly like this. It’s like trap jazz or something. To their credit, Buck and Game actually do justice to the sheer gravity of this thing.
Yes to all of this. “Trap jazz” needs to become an emerging sub-genre.
