d/lding the first heather b album now

boss was so gangsta

choice was a rap-a-lot female artist that was way in front of lil kim in terms of sex talk stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=001x7ZqH1ss&feature=relmfu

as were HWA (Hoes Wit Attitude)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpImj7RI0Rc&feature=related

they were on ruthless, not that great though

man yo-yo still sounds amazing

watched/listened to the first three tubes. "justin bieber" is kind of funny, other two didn't do much for me. the only genuinely creepy video is the third, but that seems to be some fan thing, so i can't be too bothered.

seems like something that would genuinely appeal to someone, but i can't imagine listening to it for pleasure.

i love yo-yo already!

i watched like 30 seconds of those youtubes, this shit is terrible yo

xpost

yeah lex i figured you would dig yo-yo, she was down w/ice cube and had lots of that really awesome early 90s west coast production, super sassy and awesome rapper

ive broken my promise re: reading abt this on the internet

the complex interview is actually good

the vice article is p bad

this might be a bad start to get off to
and i really didnt mean to accost you
i just really like your hair
and how it's all slick and stuff
i spilled a little of your blood
i kinda wanna lick it up
but i guess that wouldnt be vegan
so lets just drive around and sing some sarah and tegan

if u cant tell ive been listening to the lizzie mcguire experience on my friday night

okay, those are great lines, johnny. what are they from?

just relistened to the three tracks linked up top. have to admit that she's smart & funny, and i just on principle dig her POV cuz it's relatable, cleverly articulated and not often represented in her genre. still can't really "get into" this. partly it's that i don't like her voice or the way she delivers her lines, and partly it's that i feel that this music isn't for me, somehow. not that i'm forbidden to tread, but it's too far away from my frame of reference & interests. like the giggly shit and passivity probably read "real" to the people who are into it, but they just get on my nerves.

this obviously doesn't change anything
me: dad my video just premiered on the fucking fader
dad: what's the fucking fader
me: a website it's famous
dad: that's cool
me: can i get a pet bunny now?
dad: no

i feel like i might be the lex of "kitty pryde"

i am the lex of actual kitty pryde

lol

not just the track (that much is obvious), but everything about "he" smacks of OF: flow, subject matter, approach to it

"cover my ears every time the damn beat drops / i'm thirteen what is lean? what is dream pop?"

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zKzS1ayZ3wM/SgH8PnHxQYI/AAAAAAAAAkw/5ybnFbL5DTQ/s1600/KittyPryde.jpg

"but i gotta be true to my art / and soon you'll be exactly like elizabeth smart"

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zKzS1ayZ3wM/SfkCYfK_OPI/AAAAAAAAAkI/xm6gC7AI63U/s1600/ian+pryde_color_small.jpg

"i don't like kissing in public, or holding boy's hands / but i wanna with you, you know how silly i am"

somehow, i don't see kitty (x-men) pryde cracking elizabeth smart, teensex & stalker jokes, more's the pity

every xmen ref is thankfully lost on me

apologies for repeating myself to the two of you who read my internet presence elsewhere but i dont get why we cant just treat this like Owl City, and let it be really twee and teen-appealing & popular but almost never discuss it

but she did a max b cover

http://jokersintrousers.bandcamp.com/track/quarantine-max-b-cover

oh lord

I thought we had already done teenage girls rapping over the donkey kong country 2 soundtrack

She's the female Main Attrakionz - with better songs and a less whiny voice.

yeah, I'm totally hearing this as an attentioncore/camcore/sext-pop/baitgaze/burbcore/bratstep/adderolcore/memepop spin on cloud rap

yo that's an amazing post

lot of clear narratives inspired by actual events/people:

undercooked but much more fun than striking a few poses lyrically speaking

of course ILX has people that would stan for this dumb garbage

Define "dumb garbage" in musical terms, please. She comes up with a lot of good lines. The sound of her voice goes well with the music. So what's the problem?

If Tumblr was a person, it would sound like Kitty Pryde, and that's a good thing

This morning, The FADER brought us the premiere of Kitty Pryde's "Okay Cupid" video starring the 17-year-old Daytona Beach, FL, rapper (that name sounds familiar, right?), who lit up the internet with the song when it dropped on April 11. She calls herself "the jailbait Hayley Williams of rap," and that sounds about right.

In the vein of internet superstars like Kreayshawn and Lana Del Rey, Pryde crafts tracks and videos with wide ranges of influence (hardcore rap, MacBook cameras, teen idolatry) that sound instantly appealing. But artists of this ilk raise the worthless questions that get bloggers' and commenters' blood boiling: Is it legitimate for a 17-year-old white girl with red hair to be rapping? Does liking her make you cool or lame?

Key word here - "worthless"

not really a t-bomb but kind of cute at least

it sucks.

don't think it sucks. just don't like it much. figure it's music for teens, and they can make of it what they will.

it's kind of weird but i don't know that i've ever felt so strongly that my personal response to an artist was so entirely irrelevant in trying to work out whether or not they're "any good". nor do i really care to have an opinion about the latter. to me, this shit is science fiction, like something that's maybe happening on mars.

--誤訳侮辱

Scintillating questions from the dude who constantly brags about not listening to new rap music

nice zing, but not much of an answer

Doesn't warrant one.

誤訳侮辱 = ???

Jin

unperson

Doesn't warrant one.

come on, sure it does. there have been lots of offhand slams in this thread, but no thoughtful criticism. which makes the collective distaste seem sort of toothless and silly, like it's more a knee-jerk, prejudicial reaction to the persona* than a meaningful evaluation of the music

* like maybe just guys hating on "girly shit", perennial human theme

Yeah def the problem here is people dismissing this outright than supporting fashion mags masquerading as rap experts hitting REPOST REPOST REPOST because they see internet dollar signs whenever a cute white girl says the n-word

i have close to zero interest in this music but can i just ask - are the lyrics upthread real or made up?

"but i gotta be true to my art / and soon you'll be exactly like elizabeth smart"

this just sounds like the sort of awful awkward shit i have to listen to when humanities teachers are like "oh yeah, sure you guys can do a rap video for your history presentation"
