the 'engineer messed up' theory makes no sense to me because there's songs all over Keef's major label album where the vocals wobble in the vicinity of the beat in the exact same way, it seems consistent with performances throughout his career

are you trolling or
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 16:51 (ten years ago) link
nah -- that verse sounds like a lot of his verses to me. the fact that you seem to advocate that the verse is either deliberately rhythmically complex OR the result of an engineering accident as if those 2 theories are in any way compatible seems more like trolling to me.

you seem to be the only one who doesn't hear a difference between that particular song and his others. is the difference between his flow being slightly off the beat and the actual placement of his words w/in each measure not a concept you're grasping or
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Tuesday, 3 December 2013 17:16 (ten years ago) link
ok, so if i'm wrong and that verse is unique and glaring -- which theory do you support? is it him doing rhythmic backflips or a lousy engineer? it can't be both.

im not blaming the engineer, i think its intentional (think dont know). but i disagree, his entrances are all coming in on the same early count -- it sounds like his verse (or the waveform) is shifted to the left.
although i kind of like this too lol:

Yeah, I don't think it's a tracking thing, it sounds like he's consistently rapping in a different tempo, rather than just ahead/behind the beat -- it is rhythmically interesting - mistake or no, intentional or unintentional
