Magnolia Shorty - Gone But Not Forgotten (2010)

 

Artist: Magnolia Shorty
Album: Gone But Not Forgotten
Location: Baton Rouge, USA
Genres (Primary, Seconday, Influence): Bounce, Southern Hip Hop, Gangsta Rap
Year Released: 2010
Date Refound / Posted: n/a
Format(s) Released: Mp3-via-Datpiff

Explanation: Magnolia Shorty was a bounce rapper based out of Lousiana. In the early 2000s she was an aspiring rapper who came under the wing of Birdman and Cash Money Records. While she had begun to gain popularity it was cut short when she was murdered just outside her apparentment, shot to death. There were several arrests made and two people were eventually convincted and are currently in prison.

On the same year as her death this mixtape appeared. Because it was added to RYM prior to the Bootleg section I had assumed it was an official mixtape made by friends of family of the late emcee.
This is not the case. This was a bootleg made by some DJ Calvin as a tribute to her. It features several remixes of her songs and acts as a DJ set as well. After finally hearing it after all these years it's not for me. I figured it would be a little more conventional hip hop and not so loud and 'bouncy'. It's an alright tape for what it is. May she rest in peace.

Reasons for Disappearance: So as it turns out this likely wasn't lost for a long time. It was just mis-added to RYM and impossible to find based off that information. It also doens't help that I wasn't really looking for it as hard as I could have been.

RYM user, Souljalilrude was able to supply the Datpiff link this was originally at. Based on the absolute mess of the tags on the Datpiff link it shows that searching for this on the site would have been hard too. There's also no telling how long Datpiff has to live so I'm putting up an alternate link with the proper tags enabled.

Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick - Split (2004)

  Artist: Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick Album: Split Location: Baltimore, USA / Genres: Abstract Hip Hop, Sound Collage, Noise Year Released: 2004 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-08-?? (recovered by tib) Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: I'll admit I know very little about both artists. DJ Dog Dick, real name Max Eisenberg is a noise artist who I mostly know about from a few collabs with rapper Lil Ugly Mane. 'Rap Bastard', aka HZMT I know actually nothing of. When I added this release to my list is was mainly to illustrate just how many lost releases there is for Eisenberg. He released most of his stuff cassette only, and even though he was ahead of the curb, never got much attention cause of that. As I was writing this, I looked into HZMT / Rap Bastard / Anthony Miller and damn does he have a lot of missing and undocumented releases. He ran his own label and released almost everything exclusively on cassette. A true indie artist. Both artists really have large catalogues...

The Convulsions of Creation - Moonba Is Here (1995)

  Artist: The Convulsions of Creation [Chris Shepard & Mike Mangino] Album: Moonba Is Here Location: Piscataway, USA Genres: Cassette Underground, Sound Collage, Drone, Noise Year Released: 1995-xx-xx Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: Atlas King is a label I have been tracking for years now. Home to the noise duo, Smersh it was active in the Cassette Underground releasing all sorts of weird tapes. This is one of them. Almost all the acts on Atlas King were just akas of Smersh but unlike the duo, the non-Smersh releases experimented with electronic, noise and other genres. The Convulsions of Creation is one such project, a side-thing by Smersh messing more with drone and sound collage. This release is okay. I'm sure someone will enjoy it more. When it comes to noise I don't like ear-splitting sounds. The first track has a few. It's this dissonant, vaguely "Eastern" sounding drone with rattles and some high-pitched sounds. The second and third track are ...

305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ - Sons of God (2013)

  Artist: 305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ Album: Sons of God: The Most Outer Place Location: Miami, USA Genres: Witch House Rap, Witch House, Trillwave Year Released: 2013 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'll admit. This is not my cup of tea. Not only do I know very little about these artists I know even less of who they collaborated with. I only know of this from a RYM list I saw where someone mentioned they were looking for this album. All I know about NoSpaceApe is that he was an artist active in the Witch House Rap scene that existed in the early 2010s. The one Black Kray is often considered the founder of. I know absolutely nothing of 305 808. I can't find any info either. This is a Witch House Rap album, with lots of loud distortion, slurred and incomprehensible lyrics and edgy and dark song titles and sounds. In theory I should like it but as I wrote, it's just not for me. I could just write a whole review on how much I didn't like it but ehn. I don't have...
