KId Sister - Ultraviolet - Album Of The Year?

haven't heard the album, whiney's twitter review seemed in line w/ my general impression. she comes off like, i dunno, a mom trying to be 'down' or something, i feel embarrassed when i hear her.

or like a nerdy kid sister?

that single is a mess -- sloppy

scott you should sell that story to kid sister's publicist.

I fux with "Pro Nails" but I could barely make it half a minute into "Right Hand Hi". "sloppy" otm, shit is a mess

quite some achievement to think of someone going by the name "kid sister" as someone's mother

she comes across as solange sans vicious streak to me

disagree that "right hand hi" is at all sloppy, its constituent parts fit together really well imo

I like both "Right Hand Hi" and "Pro Nails" fine, fwiw, but don't think either track rates as one of the best on the album. (Off hand, I'd probably take "Big n Bad," "Switch Board," "54321," "Get Fresh," "Control" and maybe "Life On TV" over either them, not to mention "Family Reunion" from Dream Date.) Totally don't comprehend Whiney's "Mom" complaint, either (and even if I did, Moms don't necessarily make bad music).

Oops, actually (duh), Whiney's not the one who mentioned Moms. (He says: "When the cool kids invite you to their party and turn out to be as boring and talentless as you suspected.#1.5") Still don't agree.

guys I just mean she sounds really square, like she's rapping a bunch of slang she learned last week in a 'rapper voice' she just made up, not that hard to comprehend

if you want i can keep it simple and just say she has no fuckin 'swag'

Whale > kid sister

great point

Yeah but Whale > almost any band ever. (NB: this only applies to We Care; I love All Disco Dance Must End in Broken Bones but it was a clear step down and then they disappeared.)

Exactly! i mean this kid sister guy only has one album and it wasn't even prduced by Tricky nor does it feature lady Gaga as far as i know

lady gaga

the whale EP (pay for me) with darling nikki is my fave whale thing by far.

I have never heard of this before, "Pay For Me" is a dope track though. I am pretty sure that We Care will lead off the rotation for my upcoming road trip.

Attention every electro bandwagon-jumping MC in the UK. Listen to this record and take notes on how to do it properly.

Kanye's verse is probably the worst thing here. The 'Love On A Real Train' sample probably the best. This is all just so much fun. Stupidly enjoyable in the most route one, unchallenging way possible.

pete rock sampled 'love on a real train' earlier this year

other than the pfork review this seems to be pretty critically well received.

I like this OK. Still nothing as immediately great as "Control," which came out two years ago, but "Right Hand Hi" and "Life on TV" are pretty good.

is the actual commercial version of this album a continuous mix like my promo? cuz that's part of what i like about the album. does anyone know?

Kanye's verse is probably the worst thing here.

haven't heard the song in question but you can pretty much c+p that for everything kanye does now

the song kanye is on is reeeaally old and while matt's not wrong about his verse, it's not actually bad and way better than most stuff he does nowadays.

(this album is lots of fun, i like it a lot)

kid sister is one of the few performers around who's this goofy but still endearing to me

Also her record company are really stupid for not giving this a massive push over here. It's the one kind of rap that Britishes are immediately predisposed to like.

next march, apparently, sigh. idk "pro nails" and "beeper" never did anything commercially despite reasonable promo pushes.

yeah that performance is great, really suited to the song, which by the way is the most fun thing i've heard in forever. be great if everything started sounding like this soon.

is the actual commercial version of this album a continuous mix like my promo?

Yes.

I think I soured on this once I realized that there was no song on it that I liked enough to put on my nearly 80-track best of 2009 playlist. Except for "Control," but I already put that on my 2007 playlist.

we got the kids dj hero for wii and she's on it!

i want to see a lot more of kid sis in 2010

Finally getting around to hearing this, its a so-so album but I really fucking love "Switch Board".

Did you hear the Sound Opinions interview, Jon? She came off as really likable in that, I thought.

Its on my iPod, but I haven't listened to that episode yet. I'll probably hear it tomorrow.

her new track on an afrojack beat is pretty banging http://www.discobelle.net/2010/12/06/kiss-kiss-kiss/

new mixtape with your hero gucci mane on it

http://www.foolsgoldrecs.com/kidsister/

haha she raps over ramadanman on this!!!!!

feeling it

Green Velvet as well? Awesome. Also Kid Sister + Nina Sky could be fantastic. Gucci less so.

lol @ whiney dissing kid sister upthread. dude you rep for kanye & jay-z.

it's a really really good look for kid sister to rap over high-bpm jacking club music like this anyway, the breathlessness of her flow and energy she brings to proceedings really works on it, far more than on hip-hop beats. it's like a workout.

the green velvet track's a proper collab (and not the only one they've done together to my knowledge)

Kinda predictable that Kid Sister works so much better over Ramadanan and Green Velvet than she does slowing things down for Gucci. Listened to Ultraviolet again the other day and it's still so much fun - Willow Smith could do worse than go down that path.

all up in the cut like persian rugs, persian rugs
