well swagged out "like chief keef my trunk bang bang" raps don't really "sell" so i'm not sure that's the motivation

Well, he kinda spells it out on Death Of Wack Rappers, which he has also been pushing as a kind of disclaimer in every youtube video he has uploaded yet. I think his analysis is wrong too, but that only makes it extra sad. That being said, the mix of lazy-comical ignorance and occasional rappity rapping does work surprisingly well musically.
And hey, racism isn't fun and neither is insinuating it. So stop it, please.

Thanks, m@tt.
I think this may well be his best tape, btw. Its obviously too long and some of the songs are old but it works well overall.

Re this: is it fair to think of Riff Raff as part of, or even the centre of, 'Weird Twitter'?

Don't. This one is really good. Way better than the Three Loco.

riff raff taking max b's place as dame grease's rapper of choice is like a hip-hop rickroll

thoughts on this? seems to be getting quite a bit of attention, but the production isn't wowing me on first listen. (love that sassoon is credited for "hair" btw)
― chilli, Friday, 11 January 2013 22:13 (eleven years ago) link
It's... good. But it feels a little one dimensional after the Hologram Panda album (which is GREAT). As if he's going through the motions.

his show was pretty good when i saw him in dec.
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 March 2013 15:36 (eleven years ago) link
Yup, I'm psyched, but expecting to be let down. It's also the Amsterdam show, they tend to be "special" performances no matter who's playing.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 16:30 (eleven years ago) link
Ok, at the show. Definitely not sold out. Opening act, Dutch hip-hop. Have a feeling most of the people are here for these guys.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 20:22 (eleven years ago) link
"damn son where'd you find this" sample drops in the middle of the Dutch rap set. #cognitivedissonance

One of the few recognizable English lyrics - "candy bitches all up on my dick".
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 20:30 (eleven years ago) link
Apparently they are the Hydro Boys. People are into them here. The main takeaway is that Dutch rap SHITS ALL OVER Australian rap FROM A GREAT FUCKING HEIGHT.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
We are the only white English speakers in the building. Maybe the only ones here for Maneer Riff Raff?
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 20:38 (eleven years ago) link
Onto the main act, DJ reminding me how nothing beats a club soundsystem for hip-hop...
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
Not Riff Raff yet, something called Mr Polska, feeling really out of my element, no English, dubsteppy.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
Lyrics: "tutti-frutti arty-farty". People sing along.

Wondering which one is the Mr Polska, thinking short bad shave.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
Riff Raff time. Mr Polska has left the building trailing Drakkar Noir and the finest Dutch chronic.

So it's all done in 35 minutes. Old school part of me can't get over the fact that Riff Raff's vocals continually keep going even after he stops rapping, but he's clearly got persona and HITS. People know the words, even when his performance bottoms out (we're deep in the internet era). There are moments when he leans in, like during Got Them Mad, and the idea of Riff Raff being a just a weird joke fades away and something clicks, but that's ultimately exceptional. Finished with Cuz My Gear, the reaction is just more evidence that Chicago and Chief Keef tracks still noticeably dominate the club, except that Riff Raff bizarrely wanders off stage while the instrumental keeps playing. People seem confused, and then after a couple of minutes the MC gets back on the mic, and announces the show's over...
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 3 March 2013 23:28 (eleven years ago) link
OK, I've officially now spammed this thread. But I also blame ilxor.com for the Riff Raff introduction!
Bed.
