XP, if you're feeling that Pic Em Up track then you'll like the full tape:
http://trapsntrunks.com/?p=20433
One of my favorites last year, Pic Em Up is the only song Ive been able to find on youtube. Get Ya Weight Up w Jackie Chain is great. Heavily is great. He even takes a stab at singing on the final track. DJ Burn One and the Block Beataz produced some of it, sounds really crisp.

kreayshawn rapped like a rapper over a rap beat; we don't dislike pop rap itt, that's always been a staple

wasn't aware of a.banks as a pitchfork artist, i got her on the jukebox with 212 and then roamed youtube and was impressed and the new single is fucking good.this attitude that it's the media that gravitates to the art that defines what it is rather than the art itself is spectacularly wrongheaded imo

if she drops more songs like l8r its permissible to bring up i guess itt but there's no reason for the world's most popular "i don't like rap, but..." this side of childish gambino to be discussed here.

DGainz is a dope producer who also shoots videos around Chicago. I've been subscribed to his fbook feed since this summer, Louie is the best rapper he's worked with by far but there are some really promising kids involved. I actually posted something he did on last year's thread iirc:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhTtDh4iiv4&hd=1
and noz posted another on Fader, which is probably why he's suddenly getting a bunch of tumblr attention.

the jay rock record has some jams but for me, schoolboy q's is the best followed by kendrick, although i can see why non-rap fans might prefer the kendrick but it's a bit too arch / ambitious while schoolboy q seems perfectly satisfied making just-rap music
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 6 January 2012 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
pretty sure kendrick's album is way more popular among rap fans too, dude. that's a bullshit false dichotomy.
― The Reverend, Friday, 6 January 2012 01:56 (twelve years ago) link
also why are being arch or ambitious inherently bad things?
― The Reverend, Friday, 6 January 2012 01:57 (twelve years ago) link
you're misunderstanding bro. i'm not talking about how popular they are with rap fans at all; Kendrick is obviously the bigger breakthrough name. I'm just saying for non-rap fans, I think Kendrick is an easier sell.
and being arch and ambitious aren't inherently bad things, they're just not things i tend to look for in rap music very often, personally.
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 6 January 2012 02:30 (twelve years ago) link
of course ambitious is a v. broad word to use, but in this case I mean it in the Lupe/BoB sense. I mean, I really like the Kendrick record, but to me its a very very well done version of a kind of rap I usually avoid; the fact that he pulls it off is all the more impressive to me. But end of day, the schoolboy Q is def more in my wheelhouse
― Regional Thug (D-40), Friday, 6 January 2012 02:31 (twelve years ago) link

hearing Jeezy on that track pretty much illustrates why I found the new Jeezy a disappointment.

well yeah he's peaking now obviously, but that doesn't mean his earlier work isn't good - you guys make it seem like a Gucci-level improvement where he suddenly because this dope rapper skill-wise where that isn't the case - he's pretty much doing the same stuff he was doing on Trilla his craft is just sharper.
― thuglifeさよなら (The Brainwasher), Saturday, 7 January 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
well i always liked "Hustlin," i just found that he was pretty hit or miss. right now he's becoming like a better-writing version of Diddy, where he just makes anthems & has memorable bars. i still don't think he's one of the greatest rappers, but he's def one of the great rap artists at least in the last few years. sometimes i think small improvements, tightening up his songwriting & everything actually goes a long way

like how a guy who loves rap as deep as Whiney can rep in any way for this is like just deeply confusing to me. I like math-metal and I like bonehead death metal and a lotta shit in between, but that doesn't mean I gotta like bands who suck & are awful. I'm not even trying to be contentious it's just like when I hear actual encyclopedic-rap-knowledge cats riding for Rick Ross it really is like seeing people eat a Happy Meal and going "you gotta admit, this food is excellent, really good food here at McDonald's"

Ross's voice is awesome and it's not like he's still doing "boss/ross" rhymes anymore. guy isn't a lyrical mastermind but he drops catchy couplets, and has a knack for catchy choruses.

xxxpost like seriously, what is with this 'high standards' stuff? it's not like anybody has said "well, Ross is better than most of the other mainstream rappers out there" or any other watered down defense that focuses on the lack of bad qualities rather than presence of good ones. Even saying he "writes good verses" was lampooned. isn't writing good verses a prerequisite for a quality rapper?
Since when do all rappers have to be technical wizards to be enjoyable? Ross as a lyricist doesn't even remotely scrape the top in the genre, but I enjoy his lyrics, simplistic as they are. If his lyrics were all inane boring shit, nobody would see the big chasm of difference between Trilla and the stuff he makes today (I do like Trilla tho).

aero, you may also wanna check out blow, for da low and push it; all of which are ross at his less monosyllabic lowest common denominator modethat shit is working well for him at the moment so no surprise he's leaning heavier on it. I happen to like him a bit more when he's a bit campier and seems less serious about the pro wrestling schtick.
― Thug Luftwaffle (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 8 January 2012 04:37 (twelve years ago) link
so in seriousness, lex, you asked me what my prob with you is. it's not that you have opinions. it's that you spent many days hijacking the Drake thread bitching that people liked the album when you didn't and that they gave too much attention to it and that all of the people who liked it were clearly getting sucked in by the mainstream media (even though the track history of the goons hyping the album refuted that point).
now you're doing the same thing here. like aero doesn't like Rick Ross, but at least I respected his reasoning for it, your responses are all like LOL, HIGH STANDARDS MANG? anytime someone says why they like him. smug, baiting 'lol u like shit music' replies get old real real fast.

i honestly feel like there has never been a rapper as popular (at least a 'cool street rap guy' type star) as Rick Ross has never and will be really worshiped or respected by anybody, occasionally surprises people (i'll give him props for "Mafia Music") but doesn't really ever inspire awe or, like lex said, make songs anywhere approaching,say, "What You Know." like his whole career is just the culmination of rap fans' desire at the moment to a) rally around someone when he's 'hot' whoever it is b) prove they don't care that much about 'street cred' by embracing a hilarious fraud and c) enjoy the increasingly Wesley Willis-like comedy of listening to this fat moron talk about crab meats.

I'm not a Ross stan by any stretch but it seems t o me his appeal is fairly straightforward, no? He has a moderately compelling character, sounds badass and picks great beats. Good guests and fairly consistant albums just add to it. Sure he's no lyrical genius, but he's good enough to create michael bay-esque picture of his lifestyle.

agree with this but i think theres a bit more to it than bangers over everything, imo the raekwonesque namedropping of luxury products over string samples is a crucial counterpart to the relentless bangers. also theres a humour to his epic imagery that carries the bangers by not having the tone be too bleak or monochromatic, which at its worst is confounding ("bitch i got 8 balls") and at its best absurd hyperbole ("talkin to the holy ghost/in my buggati")

i think what really makes it work is that i just like i self devine more than most dudes who seem to work w/ this kind of production. he strikes me as being a supersmart dude, his time not involved doing music is spent in like community leadership & etc., & he just has a good rapper's voice
this isnt the kind of thing that will appeal to brainwasher or jordan s, most likely, but I think it's a lot stronger than the typical boom bap type shit the true school dudes rep for

are we really supposed to hear "212" and think the ny area code automatically? it's not like 90210 or something, i've never even heard it in association with the city. those other references are even more moonspeak to me. mind you im on the west coast and thoroughly underwhelmed by azealiea's whole shtick

i listened to rich forever today and really wanted to like it, but ross just doesn't have enough ideas or flows for a 20-song mixtape. there are a few joints but it's really a slog to get through imo - the worst parts are the "BMF" knockoffs with second-rate beats like the opener, "holy ghost"; it's like, dude, no one dug "BMF" for your flow, come on

we totally like BMF for his flow. His phrases become mantras

the first track isn't really lyrical mastery, he repeats phrases over and over and rhymes words with the same words, but it's still a dope sounding track, and I like his lyrics on the tracks after that.

so going back to Live from the Kitchen, I think this is really good as far as it isn't watered down like many other street-mixtape-artist major label debuts have been. I do think it's not a patch on any of his mixtapes, though (especially CM2 or CM6), in that lyrically it's less focused and more laid back, but there's a lot of hard-assed tracks on it. Plus hell, I still love his voice...him and Jeezy.
still tho....still enjoying it many listens later.

seriously i don't think i could have disagreed with him more. the tape is IMO 1/3 luger bangers, 1/3 luxury raps, and then the last 1/3 has, like, french montana at his waviest, drake-ian ambient synth raps, weed raps--how much variety do you expect? the thesis reads like it was transplanted from a review of ashes to ashes
And that's what's most frustrating about the man's creative trajectory. There is so much more that he could be doing with that voice of his, but he remains a prisoner of his own design. Rich Forever is a very good tape by a man who insists on forever remaking the same damn tape.

why aren't more rappers uploading their mixtapes to spotify?
― art dealin' thru the west coast (tpp), Thursday, 9 February 2012 14:04 (twelve years ago) link
because you can already stream them for free on a hundred other sites? also it probably takes a similar amount of paperwork to putting them on iTunes, which they also don't do? also if you look at the most played lists on Spotify rap doesn't seem very popular among its users?
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Thursday, 9 February 2012 14:06 (twelve years ago) link
ok but people actually pay for records on itunes and they would get paid for streams on spotify? do any rappers actually make money directly from sticking a tape on datpiff/equivs? or is it just hope for a knock-on effect with touring and so on?
― a hoy hoy, Thursday, 9 February 2012 14:14 (twelve years ago) link
i get why they wouldn't upload to itunes cos c'mon no-one is gonna pay to download a tape they can get for free. but if, in my case, i already paid for spotify premium or whatever, i'm looking to give these guys money for playing the tracks that they give away for free. is the paperwork really that bad / are there really no rap fans on spotify? there's a lot of good rap on there! so much bay area stuff
― art dealin' thru the west coast (tpp), Thursday, 9 February 2012 14:17 (twelve years ago) link
i agree that it would be great if mixtapes were on spotify and maybe that'll happen at some point -- at the very least, yeah, they'd probably make a direct profit from it that they don't get from datpiff or whatever. but it also seems kind of obvious why nobody has really bothered with it -- although when you search for rappers on Spotify you DO tend to turn up a few mixtapes in addition to the official albums, but they're usually random compilation tapes, not the big tape with DJ Drama or whoever that they just dropped.

I thought mix tapes aren't supposed to pull any income? Specifically those with uncleared samples or beats that weren't paid for.
― dr dre throwing dubstep balloons (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 9 February 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
ok but a bunch now work w/ 100% og material, or maybe krit could release a tape w/ 15 songs on it instead of 20 etc.

― dr dre throwing dubstep balloons (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 9 February 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
drake, fabolous, etc. have re-released retail EP versions of mixtapes with just the original songs, but again that's only when radio hits and major labels are involved. i think the industry is going to have cycle through a couple more years of post-compact disc growing pains before we get anything like what y'all are asking for.
― Alshipleyan Goalpostmover (some dude), Thursday, 9 February 2012 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
it does seem like hiphop is a couple years ahead of other genres tho. organising a datpiff&co type situation where at least hiphop fans knows where to get their music and have an organised web presence is still something most other genres still need to do. how that turns into $$$ still needs to be figured out obv.

Yeah, i'm not sure it's better than Setbacks. "Blessed" is just fucking amazing though and it's all in his delivery. Like he's not doing anything incredibly complex lyrically but the way he tears into the lines where the beat come in is beautiful. Kendrick comes of as bit too cerebral in comparison.

other tracks i'm feeling on that tape 'i know', 'bonjour', 'who's on top', 'keep in touch' (altho that weird vocal sample in the background is offputting), 'fuck my tattoos', 'curtains'

holy shit, "Cold Facts" by KA is amazing...goddamn that's ice cold shit.
honestly too the track is amazing, a real interesting way to flip a classic NYC production style, it's almost like the producer just started making the first bar of a beat and then decided to leave it, and the minimalism makes it sound so spooky and new even though the actual sample and drums are pretty trad in and of themselves

the mixtape is really reminiscent of wayne in between carter II and carter III, but if someone actually set out to replicate the innate weirdness of that era instead of just being like "gotta get me that autotune!" which is fair or unfair is part of wayne's legacy

NEW CADENCE WEAPON. Produced by Grimes. I'm actually kinda eh about the track. Good rapping from Rollie and nice beat, but "I wish it was 1988" tracks aren't really my thing. Although this feels simultaneously retro and very modern. You wouldn't hear rapping like this in 88 outside of the God himself.

Well, who knows if this is a one-off track with Grimes production or a hint of what's to come on his next (forthcoming?) album (or even an actual track from it?). I don't mind him going in a different direction, I just hate "rap sucks nowadays; let's go back to 1988!" tracks on principle.

from westwood interview:
I seem to recall we were taken to several strip clubs when we were there.
Yeah, strip clubs are important. A lot of big records come out of the strip clubs. A lot of the records are made for the strip clubs and then they become hits from there. It's how the hit records are broken.
That makes strip clubs the rap equivalent of the Zane Lowe show!
Er, I wouldn't say that man, they're not corny.
Corny?
Did I say that? Must be this telephone (2). But at those clubs, there's a different attitude. Over here you wouldn't want to admit you went to a strip club. But over there strips clubs are proper nights of entertainment. One of the most incredible places I've been to is King of Diamonds in Miami. It's legendary in the game. It's the most hood experience you can possibly imagine.
What's it like?
It's in a massive warehouse, like a Tesco megastore, and the poles go right up into the rafters. And these girls will go 40ft in the air, do amazing acrobatics. People change their dollars into stacks (3) and will spend so much that the strippers have these guys going around with brooms and enormous boxes and they sweep all the notes in. On his birthday Rick Ross spent a million dollars in there. It's nothing for Lil Wayne to go there every Monday and spend $30,000 just throwing dollars up in the air. It's an incredible experience. And then halfway through the night they put up a boxing ring and the strippers fight each other. They put on gloves and headshields and be fighting naked and people will be betting thousands of dollars.I've been hood places from the Tunnel Club in New York to hood spots in Miami, hood spots in Jamaica, hood spots in Africa … but this one is the ultimate experience.

so Jeezy is in town for All-Star weekend doing two small shows. neither of his events are in my price range (note: actually both are, but they're beyond the price I'm WILLING TO SPEND for 50 minutes of rapping). tomorrow's is $200. ugh. he's not coming here on his tour either.
Oh well...kinda thing being wall to wall with as many people as would be there during All-Star weekend would give me claustrophobia anyway.

"Arm and hammer propaganda" like...hammer and sickle. Propaganda. Soviet Propaganda. how were you not getting that? The style of rap you're referring to with nicki minaj is called "hashtag rap", because it resembles a tweet where the punchline is the hashtag. everyone is fully aware that lil mama and soulja boy are terrible rappers, the reason they exist is because they use ideas that people are supposed to DANCE to, not listen to and go "OHHH THAT WAS SUCH A HOT LYRIC OH WOW" and they represent the more ignorant form of rap because why would you want to THINK about what you're listening to while you're dancing to it? that's what makes it fun. whoa, lil wyte and aaron carter are bad rappers on principle? gee, you don't say. gucci mane is a trap rapper, white people aren't supposed to 'get' their lyrics, because they're heavily coded by trap nigga drawl and copious amounts of 'slang'. and apparently you're missing the entire point of lemonade. "Grits" = ci/garettes/, for example. then again, the fact that you actually appreciate wale says a lot about your credibility in writing about how 'bad' rap lyrics are. sorry, not everything can be as 'brilliant' as neutral milk hotel. talk to your only black friend and ask them before your next article about this (which, hopefully won't happen at all).

Dear AceWonders, Its hilariously ironic that YOUR PROLIFIC IGNORANCE has made it onto a website called - THOUGHT CATALOG. Your name is appropriate, because you really do make me wonder what possessed you to pull the race card (pun intended). I'm black, and I'm ashamed of you. Why are you so defensive about people's lyrics and a white girl's (black, asian, hispanic's) opinions of them? Let Young Dro pull the punchs on his own ish, you don't have to jump to his defense and be like oooo ooo this and that...yes its real that that lyric has more intelligent content than Ms. Fagan has given credit, but DAMN chill out. I interpreted her introduction to be a satirical disclaimer, not a "real" im so bad ass invitation to sh*t on all of these people because she has the authority as a hip hop veteran. Your argument is more socioeconomic than racial.

I haven't read the whole thread, but the Defari & J-Zone bits at the top and bottom are definitely what's up. I hate the hiphop scene here, because the only things that get championed are nerd rappers with names like Common Market and Optimus Rhyme (actually, that's a great name, but damn if I wanna listen to anyone who calls himself that) and Macklemore, who raps about his white liberal guilt, and anything that sounds like it was made by actual humans, instead of backpack-bots gets overlooked.

I don't care if you're white black a bitch or a fucking bum off of the streets. If you rap about shooting people, smoking blunts, wearing timbs, drinking hennessy, and whatever else, I'll buy your music. If you rap about your girl, but don't call her a bitch, fuck you. If you rap about the economy and how its hurts migrant workers, fuck you. If you rap about your rap telekenisis or some equally retarded nerd shit, fuck you. That basically how I break it down to an extent.

Maybe his production keeps sounding better, but i think it's never really hitting the spot on his new tape. There's not a single song that i remember after listening to it.

The bass crunches instead of hitting, clips out, sounds like a lo-fi recording (Sunday School is a good example). The 160 bit rate doesn't help.

I wonder if its just general ignorance on the matter or a conscious decision, probably the latter more often than not. Like Clams Casinos whole thing about not knowing or caring about bit rates or w/e. I feel like plenty of producers can make good beats, but not nearly as many have the knowledge/skill/money(?) to craft them so they sound pristine as well.

I think Blue Chips is easily the best thing Action Bronson has done yet, it distills pretty much everything I like about him and pushes it a little further away from the easy dismissals (partic, as n/a pointed out, his attempts to push his voice away from the Ghostface thing). Also sarge otm here, this is infinitely quotable. I'm also a huge sucker for his taste in samples.

Mac hasn't really changed. One thing I admire is the flexibility of his rap skills and that is what's on display here rather than a complete genre flip. He can dive into a chill introspection, as he does quite often on this tape, or blast the kind of ego-driven power in songs like Loud/Smile Back/Party on 5th Ave. Quite frankly both are pretty fucking awesome. Overall Macadelic blows my mind. If Blue Slide Park was a commercial assembly of pop then Macadelic is a progressive concept albumMagnumTGundraw 3 minutes ago

i don't see the connection b/w keef and gucci
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 14 April 2012 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
keef isn't much as a lyricist right now but his hook are unusual and memorable -- the same can be said for his flow
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 14 April 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
i think his flow & all that is pretty basic, although his voice is memorable, but he does have lyrics, they're just spread out b/c of the age thing. 'bullets hot like the sun' 'good loud pack smell like cat piss / hangin out the roof young and reckless' 'she say she love me whatever that is' 'i like my bitch conceited' 'she said sosa i'm a big fan / bitch i'm leanin like a kickstand' these are memorable lines & theres a reason ppl are quoting them all over twitter locally. its those kinds of lyrics ... the whole rakim thing abt taking a phrase that's rarely heard, flip it now its a daily word ... louie is obv a much more developed rapper (hes also 8 years older than keef) so his verses are tightly packed w/ memorable lines like that, where keef's are more spread out. but the seeds of it developing into more are all there: he sounds like himself, hes not packing ungainly phrases together, not biting other people, has an original style.
― man down (D-40), Saturday, 14 April 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link

i don't hear how keef's hooks are any catchier or better than any other random mixtape rapper - when i think of a notably great hook i'm thinking ice cream paint job/good fucking night/beamer benz & bentley/silly bitch level catchy. i just don't hear any energy or singularity in keef at all. if i had to write about him i'd be racking my brains trying to come up with a single interesting thing about his music.

the keef thing is getting ... mighty interesting
An altercation that began inside of the Congress Theater, 2135 N. Milwaukee Ave., during an opener act at last night’s Meek Mill rap show and ended in front of the venue brought over 20 police officers, one alderman, a district police commander and the fire department to the scene. No arrests were made……Joining the numerous officers and an estimated 100 patrons who were hoping to either get back into the venue or get a refund was First Ward Alderman Proco Joe Moreno, accompanied by two community security workers that Moreno had hired out of his own pocket, due to concerns about the background of one of the evening’s artists, Chief Keef, who wears an electronic monitoring bracelet and had been granted permission by a judge to perform. This news of the additional workers had been shared earlier that night by Ronda Locke, 1st Ward Director of Community Outreach, who’d posted a message to the 1st Ward Community on the GGNA message board.

jk lazy zing i like peso
"big spender" is shit. i like "goldie" a lot but i think theophilius london is so fucking boring. at least rocky has some presence and memorable delivery.
even the freeway song was bad and that was on a great album imo
between theophilus and all the ASAP ppl, they will be present at nearly every "important" night life moment and/or pre-show dj set this spring and summer, so you can assure that that song will get play.
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:24 (eleven years ago) link
if you're looking for some ny-centric media conspiracy to make a rapper popular, the proof is theophilus.he has like 3 sponsorships, with brands like vitaminwater and bing, and those brands have partnerships with every media source in this space. they're basically obligated to post his corporate-subisidized tracks and videos and flyers and shit
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
i dont really care abt asap's media-propelled buzz any more, once he broke through to national recognition it kind of leveled off, and I'm not sure I see him being able to deliver on the buzz so I'm sort of rooting for dude in a bizarre way
that said i think 'goldie' is pretty average, even the beat.
― man down (D-40), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i agree -- for a HIT BOY COLLABO it's just all around underwhelming
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:38 (eleven years ago) link
i think the collaboration worked for the same reason "n-s in paris" did - asap is way better at carrying a track by himself because he loads them with all the mini-hooks that make a song hit with audiences now. his good songs are very smart bc they hit with crowds at exactly the right moments, with the sort of topography that ni99as in paris had. little bite-sized hooks that come in at reliable intervals
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 18:43 (eleven years ago) link
thats why when someone like schoolboy q or theophilus london come in - it breaks his momentum. those songs will never be big like his others

i think this depends on who you're talking about? is it presently a great time to be a lyricist? no, probably not. is it a great time to be a rap fan who privileges lyricism? i think it almost always is, if you know where to look/who to look out for

i dont think i really agree with jordan. I think it's the same as it's ever been--if you know where to look, you can find great lyricists everywhere. I do wish the industry was propelling more of them, because in retrospect i feel like mainstream rap did do a good job of building talent in a different way back in the early 00s relative to now. but lyricists who can really kill it are everywhere. King Louie's "Bars," for example, doesn't even have a chorus; it's him obliterating the song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i2yR3-eYkk
Then the kevin gates stuff posted upthread ... he gets pretty lyrical on, like, love songs & sex songs, which is kind of unusual. I think he's one of the best writers out right now. For example, on that song "Dangerous," there's this great part where he's like "passing through the hood with memories of the block / left hand holding the wheel our fingers are interlocked," just these kinds of details where 90% of rappers would rhyme it with 'glock' ...
i think that artists who have an ear for pop hooks & musicality are always going to win, whether or not they are lyrical. but i don't think there's a dearth of lyrical rappers or anything

is it presently a great time to be a lyricist? no, probably not.
this is the part i disagree w/ jordan about. i dont think its really like ... ever been a 'great' time to be a lyricist? because lyricist is one dimension of the art form
there are great hip hop artists and great hip hop lyricists but ppl focus too much on the latter. like its healthy vegetables or something. i feel like that actually serves to make lyricism seem lame, rather than cool, which is annoying (i mean in terms of critic nerd discourse, not w/ how it is for rappers per se)

this is definitely right.
that said, i'm predisposed towards liking more complex lyrics (though obv great simple lyrics are better than bad complex ones)
this is just more my taste though and coming out of when i first discovered rap...a lot of the really great guys were doing stuff that was both better and more complex than what had come before (like BDK, Kool G, Rakim, etc)

well, good lyricism has nothing to do with complexity or simplicity imo, it's just about good writing x good delivery. good writing by itself doesn't do it or it's not really a lyric so much as a poem, but good delivery is potent enough & immediate enough to make less interesting writing sound/feel better than it is often. (this isn't at all unique to rap I don't think, it drove me nuts about rock when I was a kid that songs where the vocalist was just in a killer pocket (Paul Rogers is, like, a fondly-remembered chief offender here) would feel so fuckin real and then you look at what he's saying and go OH. THANKS. YOU LIKE TO ROCK. FANTASTIC)
I do know in some lyrics-focused rap dudes' minds it's not great lyricism unless it's really blowing minds but that's not what I mean, I'm more or less just looking to avoid things like deej's "hmm, what's the rhyme I need...'block'...cool, I'll just get out the glock again, who doesn't like some glock"

re: noz's review, it is very good, i think his conclusion i probably shift in a different direction on, though.
As much as his early tracks benefitted from the freedom that hip-hop offers, he now seems burdened by its conventions. The purist will listen to this and imagine how much better it would be if Future tried to rap more. The more adventurous listener might wonder what he could accomplish if he broke free of his genre's gravitational pull entirely.
maybe i agree w/ this, or maybe i disagree -- but i think its that tension that energizes it, but shudder at the idea of him leaving rap behind entirely? that its grounding in rap convention charges it & gives it a root-edness that creates a necessary tension ... like 'turn on the lights' transcends rap completely, and is stronger for it, but 'permanent scar' is one of my favorite tracks on the record despite being completely about some of the formal defining rap conventions-- that 'turn on the lights' is that much more powerful b/c of its context & surroundings
so i agree w/ him in that, it does make you wonder what it would be like if he broke free, but i think i disagree that it would actually result in better music -- its more of a philosophical question to me, or something, rather than a practical one
― man down (D-40), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 18:15 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, great points. It's him on the fringes of rap music, still engaging with rap conventions but really engaging with and stretching those conventions. i agree if he forgoes them, i would be very worried.

Feds bust suspected Ecstasy drug network centered around Bay Area rap label
http://www.mercurynews.com/twitter/ci_20469324/feds-bust-suspected-ecstasy-drug-network-centered-around
Twenty-five individuals, many of them rappers associated with one of the Bay Area's largest entertainment labels known as "Thizz Entertainment," have been arrested as part of a major nationwide drug trafficking ring focused on Ecstasy, according to a federal prosecutor.
Agents seized about 45,000 Ecstasy pills, 4 pounds of crack cocaine, a half pound of heroin and $200,000 in suspected drug profits, and forfeited about 230 acres of property valued at about $1 million. The suspects, from Vallejo, Stockton, Oakland, Fairfield, Los Angeles, New York and Oklahoma City, were arrested Thursday, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said.
The investigation, led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, uncovered a network of drug distributors centered in Vallejo's Crest neighborhood, across Highway 37 from the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom theme park.
Thizz Entertainment was started in 1996 by Andre Hicks, a Vallejo rapper who went by Mac Dre. The word "thizz" derived from the feeling one feels while on MDMA, or ecstasy. On November 1, 2004, Mac Dre was shot and killed after a performance in Kansas City, Mo., which started a brief Vallejo-Kansas City rap war.
More than 60 artists have released albums on the label since Mac Dre's death, some were arrested in the federal drug probe.
Arrested on suspicion of multiple drug counts in the two federal complaints and in custody were: Major Norton, performs under the name "Dubee", Lawrence Nelson, Narco McFarland Sr., Eric Robinson, Eileen Knight, Ung Duong, Phat Nguyen, Marcus Davis, Michael Smiley, Anthony Young and Anthony Payton.
Charged and not yet in custody were: Michael Lott, performs under the name "Miami the Most," Gaylord Franklin, performs under the name "Geezy," Clifford Bullock, Latroy Cunningham, Dante Barbarin, Beshiba Cook, Bruce Thurmon, performs under the name "Little Bruce," Damian Peterson, Mikel Brown and Andre Cawthorne.
Charged and released from custody were Nicholas Ramirez and Tiffany Brown.

― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link
"burn" is O_O amazing
the first meek song that hooked me in had church bells as a beat too, "gasoline". more people should do that

i find meek mill effortlessly enjoyable and listenable - i guess it sags towards the end but yknow it's a mixtape. the high points are stunning

yeah, i prefer it to the first dreamchasers... i think you get a bit better sense of who he is as an artist
― frogbs in the trap (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
1st dream chasers is wayyy better. nothing on this touches 'im a boss' or 'middle of the summer' or 'tony story'
― man down (D-40), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
This seems more consistent though
― Number None, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:37 (eleven years ago) link
yeah this is more consistent... i'd buy the argument that there's not a "middle of the summer" or a "tony story" but there's a lot of average songs on there w/ beats and hooks that could've been on half the mixtapes that come out in any given week
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:40 (eleven years ago) link
this one starts to fall off after "the ride" but until that it's much stronger up and down -- the production is a lot more distinct, for one

"lean wit it" has grown on me. still need to hear the tape, though.
― some dude, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
well "i'ma boss" was off the MMG comp -- it was just thrown onto 'dreamchasers' bcuz it was already a hit
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
i mean if he can make the banger of the year two years in a row by some miracle i'll give him longer than mid-may to come up with it, but generally i just want him to not totally fuck up on the road to having a retail album
― some dude, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:53 (eleven years ago) link
i think the track with big sean is awesome and could be as big a radio as hit as "tupac back" or "house party"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 May 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
and i love "amen"
such is my optimism that i am even willing to take the statement "the track with big sean is awesome" at face value
― some dude, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
the track with big sean may actually be the best thing on the mixtape
i didn't hear anything to rival "ima boss" in the banger stakes or even "middle of da summer" in big-sounding emotion - i wouldn't say it's a step up as such but it's a step that keeps things interesting w/r/t the position MM is carving out for himself
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
i LIKE 'lean wit it' but its just like .. .straight bangers like that that are big & aggressive & alright
the big sean is cool but its the same thing, real aggressive but not really a great single
amen is cool but i dont really feel it like that

LOL the first dreamchasers is like the most consistent mixtape of the past 2 or 3 years, easy. the new one is pretty good, but it sorta feels just like 1 but with all the real talk/personal songs stripped out and replaced with big name features that i don't really give a shit about.
― een, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 07:59 (eleven years ago) link
so Big Sean is pretty widely hated then? I'm not too familiar with his stuff and he has an annoying voice but i think he's pretty damn good on "Burn"

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
i dont know what you're looking for it to do, i guess this is a matter of whether or not ur feeling the vibe its going for ... personally i think the beat is one of the more affecting on the radio at the moment
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Sunday, 20 May 2012 20:31 (eleven years ago) link
i guess i've just heard a seemingly infinite number of dj khaled songs that use exactly the same formula that at this point i can't be moved by any of them
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 20:37 (eleven years ago) link
you realized dj khaled did not actually produce this beat, right
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
you realize that every single dj khaled song since "we takin over" has sounded exactly the same, right?
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
and that was five years ago
maybe my ears have been poisoned by the fact that khaled works for the no. 1 rap radio station in miami so i've found myself hearing shit like "all i do is win" and "welcome to my hood" more than anyone deserved
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
"im on one" is obv the lone exception there
this song sounds nothing like 'we takin over'
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
right, but it sounds exactly like the other ones i mentioned
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
if you wanna say that this song is somehow any different or better than all the other khaled assembly line epic bangers of the last five years because it has some synth bleeps that's fine, but that's a pretty low bar imo
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 20 May 2012 21:19 (eleven years ago) link

i think of "Take It To The Head" as more of a generic Chris Brown song than a generic DJ Khaled song -- half the time when it comes on it takes me a sec to figure out it's not "Another Round" or some other bullshit. but maybe it's hard for me to think of it as a triumphant Khaled anthem because the phrase "Take It To The Head" means it's a song about fucking in the bathroom. but yeah it's not like shit is any better than "Fed Up" or "Out Here Grindin'" or any of the other dozen forgettable shits he's done the last few years.

curious what ppl think of this
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
for my part, i think it misdescribes the dynamics of what actually happened with keef; the gawker article only provoked a critical article from smoking section & a single global grind interview on its own. It wasn't for a couple months, while major artists cosigned keef on twitter, that labels & publications started to pay attention, and it wasn't until the Kanye cosign that labels felt obliged to do so.
further, this: "Over the last year, Keef has become a legitimate street star in his hometown Chicago and could have built up a national celebrity à la Gucci Mane or Lil Wayne. Instead, his narrative rushed his infectious but under-polished Waka Flocka-inspired local hits into the peak of the internet hype cycle."
seems problematic. what makes 'i dont like,' which just hit the hot 100, any more under-polished than, say, 'o lets do it' by waka.
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 23:41 (eleven years ago) link
"The fans sort out the stars themselves, forcing the rest of the industry – cool-kid blogs included – to play catch-up later."
but then, if the 'cool kid blogs' bother to keep up with the fans, they're responsible for throwing him into the internet hype cycle, or whatever
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 23:43 (eleven years ago) link
i think my post upthread is more otm than noz' pouty jaded blogger blues, it's too early to call & he really just needs like 1 more hit sometime in the next year, could so easily happen. like the shittiest thing about the internet hype cycle has always been the rush to declare trends over, artists bust. reminds me of how last january whiney was freaking out about how we named the thread "gun sounds" when waka had already been in pitchfork and the fader. personally don't see a huge diff between 2 chainz, future, meek mill & chief keef, and like, how does waka even fit into this story?

― shipl.de.al (some dude), Thursday, 7 June 2012 02:32 (eleven years ago) link
i think there's some truth to what he's saying in the keef example in the sense that his increased visibility has definitely led to a string of collabs that have been pretty underwhelming, and there's certainly a chance that his next full tape will be bogged down by a bunch of guests. that said... is that deej's fault? no, of course not. and deej's post is pretty accurate. the gawker story has 65k views right now, which by gawker's standards is not really a huge number (no offense to deej).
the rap universe in general is shrinking, the underground and pop are coming together... 2 chainz is a good counter example to the sort of come-up that he's talking about, but it's not like at this point where he guests on every single rap song that he's not as much a part of the problem. i'm not sure why pop charts are not as accessible to rappers anymore, but that's as much to do with what noz is talking about as do blogs.

― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:22 (eleven years ago) link
oh wait that's pusha's
keef is a bit of a tough example because he's so young and theoretically so impressionable, but all rappers regardless of how they came up are eating each other just to stay alive. dreamchasers 2 has way too many guests. once you reach a certain level right now, regardless of how you come up, you're going to feel pressure to cave to that mentality where you check off all the right guests (wale! 2 chainz! big sean!) etc. that's probably my main gripe with rap right now, and blogs are only a small part in that.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
"pay homage, or k's vomit" is a great line in that pusha verse
blogs did topple the old models of both A&R & hype, but i don't think that explains rap's shrinking market in pop
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:25 (eleven years ago) link
i don't really get all the talk about guests on Dreamchasers 2, the first Dreamchasers also had guests on about half the tracks, nearly all major label artists (if of generally lower star power). not a huge leap or change of approach at all imo.
― shipl.de.al (some dude), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:28 (eleven years ago) link
uh idk dude. he went from young chris, beanie sigle, rick ross (three times), yo gotti & some philly rappers to drake, jeremih, big sean (twice), kendrick lamar, fabolous, french montana, wale (twice), 2 chainz & mac miller. i think the homogenization is pretty obvious.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:31 (eleven years ago) link
obviously this won't happen but i'd prefer if the pre-album mixtapes be collaboration heavy and then the actual album be more about showcasing the artist.
― shipl.de.al (some dude), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:32 (eleven years ago) link
i dont think his original post was per se about me, and seemed more targeted at the headline i didn't write, but nonetheless i thought it was overstated. the story is resonating with people as much as the music, sure, but i'm not sure that i see them as intractable

― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 7 June 2012 03:40 (eleven years ago) link
yeah most of the collabs have been so-so, although i liked the Trel track. "Finessin" is probably the best post-mixtape track, and its just aite relative to "3hunna" or w/e
i'm interested to hear it, although i'm willing to bet that once summer comes around keef's buzz will have dimmed & louie's will have risen slightly just based on the material i've heard from each recently & the assumption that louie will start to flood the streets
this is speaking purely of local coverage, btw
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 7 June 2012 04:00 (eleven years ago) link
reflecting some more, it kind of seems to me like rap bloggers are almost more mad that their jobs are to be bloggers than anything else. like, there's not a zone for rap blogs or publications where you can actually weigh in on the relative merits (& lack thereof) of an artist; instead, all that happens is someone on rap radar is forced to post about keef so they just express how much they think he sucks, and post about him. meanwhile the fans are just posting I DONT LIKE on twitter over & over (guilty, or i was) & there's a lot of noise and he ends up in magazines & people just feel angry about how it feels like hes being forced on them
im saying this because lately it feels like a lot of people have come at me as if i'm blindly endorsing any & all keef material, or that i couldn't possibly have nuanced opinions about his work, or dislike some & like others, or see his relative shortcomings. i dont think anyone who likes some of keef's music has really inflated him to be something he's not, and so the backlash ends up feeling out of proportion
i complained about something similar w/ the killer mike record, just felt like a lot of the enthusiasm was a bit over the top & possibly affected by political sympathies, and i was like, i'd just like to see some more substantive critical writing about it that didn't take his general agreeableness as an inherent positive, and got someone saying NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT KEEF and i was like, wait, what?? b/c locally hes just SO controversial, i didn't think ANYONE was blanket pro-keef, he seems super divisive, but i guess when you live in an area where the real buzz is more distant and all you see is a few stories i've written about him that don't go into much music criticism & are more journalistic in nature, followed by a bunch of blogs/tumblrs picking up on it, you might see it as blanket enthusiasm?
idk been thinking about this stuff
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 7 June 2012 04:36 (eleven years ago) link
i guess end of day i don't get why it matters that hip press jumped on him, as if there wasn't a soulja boy or a d4l or any other number of rappers who had big regional hits that came out of nowhere. this seems like an excuse to bemoan hype w/out actually addressing that its the music people like about this, if the music wasn't there, if 'i don't like' wasn't charting (w/out the remix), then maybe he'd have a point
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Thursday, 7 June 2012 06:07 (eleven years ago) link
like, if i hadn't written about this what would the difference be? a few months extra time spent through word of mouth until someone else cosigned him?
shit was going to happen period
eh... Cuz My Gear is great imo, one of my songs of the year so far. Partly because of RiFF RaFF of course, but also partly because I always think the hook is really about Kanye and them who only want Keef for his "ear".

i think i might have become an old person rap fan cuz i like this way more than most young rappers i hear these days. it's not ground-breaking or anything but it sounds gorgeous, most of the tracks have beats that really push my pleasure buttons. the two singles are two of my favourites over the past year and the rest of the album supports them nicely.
i grant that it doesn't feel massively exciting but i think this might be a function of krit's mixtapes having already provided us with as much krit as we really "need". the mixtape-to-album transition seems pretty vexed right now for a lot of rappers, either stylistically or just in terms of over-saturation.

kenn is a real interesting dude but i still think keef's is the real story at the end of the day & kenn is a part of that, rather than the other way around. keef's the one who galvanized kids throughout the city and kenn's production talents are notable but not bigger than the wider story about what's happening here.
im worried about hype but only to the degree that it sets unreasonable expectations. but in keef's case, i don't think it's really there... people are interested in his story, where he's from and the songs he's recorded. i dont see why 'hype' would keep him from recording songs like he's done already.
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
specifically i wanna know more abt this bit:Kenn had planned to spend just a year in the United States, but within ten months of moving to New York, he flew to Chicago. He spoke little-to-no English, and knew nobody in the city; he just knew he wanted to make music. Chief Keef's uncle Keith discovered him walking down the street in Woodlawn (a neighborhood that is 98 percent African American), and found him a place to stay. "He took me to an apartment right there across the street"—Kenn gestures out the front window—"and I stayed over there and started to do music. Keef came through, Santana came through, and we started recording."
― tpp, Monday, 11 June 2012 15:33 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not worried about the hype at all. The man has minor hits, a story to go with them and a production unit with a defined sound. Let's not pretend as if we would be doing him a favor by not listening, writing, talking, quarreling etc. That stuff is plainly hypocritical. This music was made to be heard. If it's out there, it's up for grabs. Keef's objective has never been to become the new Andre 3000. He either makes more hits, more music worth talking about, or he doesn't. End of story. Casting him as some sort of victim to the hype machine is just in bad taste.

eh i think that's just holding him to too high a standard. yes he hasn't made any songs as good as "I'ma Boss" or "House Party" in the last 10 months, but it's not like a bunch of other rappers have. and "Lean Wit It" and "Amen" are perfectly good songs to keep it moving with in the meantime.

Excellent shout, now I too have been listening to it all week. Well from Thurs-Today to be accurate.
― pandemic, Monday, 18 June 2012 11:10 (eleven years ago) link
generally speaking, a new artist signing to a major for their own imprint is a higher risk/higher reward than signing to an established star's imprint. you might not get as much instant attention as you would signing with Wayne/Jeezy/Kanye/etc. but you also don't have to wait in line behind Lil Twist/Gibbs/Pusha T/etc. and coordinate your career with 5 other careers already in progress.
― bronytheus (some dude), Monday, 18 June 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
is there anything appealing to creating your own imprint aside from theoretically having the power to put your friends on? (and i'm not sure if that's even true tbh.) just seems like unnecessary risk for everyone involved, and sometimes just totally pointless (thinking of earl sweatshirt getting his own imprint w/ wherever he signed).
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 June 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
i understand not wanting to sign w/ another rapper's imprint... that sounds pretty shitty for a new artist unless you're someone like ice burgandy who wouldn't be signing w/ a major anyway. i'm talking about just signing w/ a label outright.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 June 2012 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
i think helping your hypeman put out a solo record is kind of a secondary concern really -- you're not gonna get to do that unless you're pretty successful either way. i think of it more in terms of, Wiz created his own franchise by not signing under a bigger star, which is how it usually happens. Drake and Nicki got to do it while signing under a big star, but that's the exception to the rule (and they also aligned w/ YM before having a huge buzz).
― bronytheus (some dude), Monday, 18 June 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link
i don't think really ANY rapper anymore is just "signed to interscope" or def jam or whatever without a go-between imprint. that's just not the way the industry has worked for, like, 10 years now.
right, alright
― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 June 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
there's probably also a chicken-and-egg thing with the death of rap A&Ring -- every rapper who wants to be Jay-Z has a guy next to him who wants to be Dame Dash so they walk into the building with the team they want to run their career before they sign

From a historical perspective, Ice Cubes Amerikkkas Most Wanted is probably the most important album in the decline of regionalism, him going over to the bomb squad and doing a verse on PEs burn hollywood burn felt pretty important at the time, esp when east/west tensions were high and cube was perceived as gangsta and pe perceived as conscious
Also kool g raps live and let die embraced thicker west coast beats and had sir jinx productions
Actually the source review of ready to die was framed as biggie taking the dominant west coast style and adding an east coat spin to it

A lot of rappers were alive before this year so they might remember ye olden tymes when hooks were screwedethed and chopp-ed.

not hooks, but there are tons of kanye songs where he screws a line here or there for emphasis, including "marvin & chardonnay" and "jigga's in paris" last year, so it just seems weird to me to hear "mercy" and think 'oh where did he get THAT idea, who must he be playing catch-up with'
― some dude, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 23:12 (eleven years ago) link
im not saying it was that he was playing catch up per se but cmon wasnt it co produced by hudson fucking mohawke

i just mean hes obv at this point very much a keep-up-with-whats-trendy type producer & has been for a few years, and half the choruses on that asap record that shut down ny press from, remember, less than a year ago, were a strange disconnected S&C style similar to this, i dont really think its that farfetched

hudson mohawke is a critically acclaimed british producer iirc who does, like, i dunno, its not dubstep, but its electronic beats without rapping

listen kanye is sad desperate old trend-chaser, i just think screw is rap public domain. it's like when anyone who said "swag" was suddenly biting odd future even though there had been a bunch of huge songs w/ that word in it 2 years before anyone heard of those guys.
― some dude, Thursday, 28 June 2012 00:39 (eleven years ago) link
actually i feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier but "a milli" is really the biggest slowed-vocal-loop song of the last few years and a lot of its many knockoff songs followed suit, although obviously the way it's used there isn't really the same as the trad screwed hook thing

Billboard very rarely gives separate chart entries to rap songs and their remixes, and usually credit the original version even if the remix is more popular (like, "I'm So Hood" peaked after the remix hit but it was always the o.g. with the Billboard entry).

You could describe a bunch of songs on the Le1f record as having dance beats (although not in the Azaelia Banks sense, it's all def more hiphop-based than house-based) but "Wut" isn't really one of them. J0rdan otm. Also, how is his style "free associative"? It's not really based on non sequitors or stream of consciousness or anything like that.

this is a good post & at least gets me to reevaluate
the truth is i associate that synth-sax sound a lot more w/ east coast dance music; 90s house, sure, but moreso these days with hipster house approximating 90s house i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGB9ZMIUGuw
i cant understand anything that happens during his double time sections. so maybe its not free associative there. but that's the same kind of technical overcompensation i dont like from iggy azealia. the lyrical style though, just stuff like 'neo nazi kamikaze want to firebomb the bomb-diggity' etc. just strikes me as kind of aimless lyricisms that das racist indulge in, the idea that its funny just because its a reference to something we're familiar with (or i we're not, it makes us want to be familiar so we can be cool).
again if there's another framework in which this stuff 'works' & 'functions' I'm open to that, i'm not interested in proving this is 'bad' or 'not worthy of acclaim' at all -- i think that would be privileged gatekeeping. on the other hand, i am interested in how boundaries are pushed w/out leaving a genre completely. i mean, maybe i'm wrong, maybe this will appeal to hip hop heads or maybe in five years nahright will look ridiculous for ignoring this seminal piece of hip hop but to me he doesnt make enough concessions to the broad rap fanbase to become that kind of crossover figure (& by extension qualify for inclusion in this thread)
fwiw i dont really care if ppl want to talk about him in this thread as much as i want to debate the idea of ppl talking about him in this thread or at least try & tease out what people like about his music. it seems like lately i keep running into this brick wall of THIS IS SO GOOD about everything black hippy / killer mike / le1f & i'd like to see some pushback. I kind of think ppl are afraid of appearing to be against gay rappers (& if i make an argument that appears that way then you absolutely should call me out on it) but I think it does a disservice to the music to not pick at it a little more than happens in other places. (ILX used to be so great at doing this!)
idk i guess there's probably an element of 'we should unite about this b/c hip hop blogs are already going to ignore it for obvi reasons' which is fair to a degree.

ross needs to balance the incredibly expensive sounding shit w/ songs where he gets his hands dirty. 'rich forever' had that... he sounds threatened, mean. 'god forgives' -- despite its menacing title -- is way too weighted towards "i'm rapping in a room that's made entirely of marble and silk" shit.

good lord this is a long-ass profile
― protected by viper. stand back. (D-40), Tuesday, 7 August 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
This time, "the plot," as Lupe calls it, is to release the album's first installment in September and the sequel in early 2013, with several singles hitting airwaves along the way.
"It's meant to tell the great American experience, touch on my ideas, my very rough, very unfinished, unpolished thoughts and feelings about America: American history, American culture, American society, American beauty, American food. You'll see that laced throughout the album," he said.
If the first two joints, "Bitch Bad" and "Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free)," are any barometer, the rapper's reputation for blistering social and political commentary will remain intact. No hos, weed and rims here, thank you.
when i was playing with the group unkn0wn pr0phets, we opened for Lupe....after the show we were loading out and he was on the tour bus, there was a line of white private school college chicks (this gig was at a private school) lined up to get in the bus....i saw in the bus and they were partying and watching re-runs of Martin on the TV.

i'm catching up.
- i like the honey cocaine mixtape but a female rapper of cambodian heritage calling herself honey cocaine and sounding straight outta crime mob was never not gonna appeal to me- i'm checking out the lil durk mixtape at deej's behest and i don't think i get it? can someone tell me what is special about this guy? it sounds like really generic trap music and i love generic stuff but this doesn't have the hooks. i can't think of a reason i'd want to listen to it again, it's kinda dreary and slow- i didn't care about the big sasha gohard track that people were going on about earlier this year (again a bit too dreary and slow) but i am downloading her mixtape- trina's "beam" is my rap single of the year. why does so little other rap i'm hearing have that sort of energy?

who knows. i just mean that the kid's rap career wasn't just predicated on dissing the most well known rapper in the city but on making death threats towards him & at the massive street gang hes in more generally. i think its believable that the kid's raps got him into trouble but the idea that these two were rivals or something seems presumptive & farfetched to me

i mean he def has a huge fanbase no doubt but he's a super divisive artist, even amongst 'tastemakers'. there's a lot of reaction on twitter like "get chief keef out of hip hop" or "chief keef is ruining hip hop" or whatever which i don't think would be the reaction if "respectable" artists were beefing and one of them got shot.
there's certainly other aspects to this of course, but yeah. a lot of people think chief keef is some huge media conspiracy or w/e.

Emerging from the ether as mysterious as he is imposing, Ice Cold Perm is the debut album from Berkeley, CA rapper 100s.
Merely a reckless young black man in the eyes of a broken society, 100s has taken it upon himself to thrive. At 19 years old, he arrives a true student of the game: a living, breathing, smoking tribute to the long line of West Coast players.
Teaming up with local powerhouse producer, engineer and childhood friend Joe Wax (Turf Starz, Main Attrakionz, NhT Boyz, Lil Rue), Ice Cold Perm is laced with smooth slaps and icey raps, their unique chemistry taking listeners on a skewed ride through a young man's mind ... where the potency of your Activator is the currency of the realm.

ya those keef tweets are def brutal OTOH, like, not trying to say he's not a major asshole, i mean like how much death have these guys experienced in their lives? a lot more than i have i'm guessing! not to say that it's still not jarring but it's prob well documented that like, ppl who go to war develop a certain indifference to what was originally so horrifying to them -> sense of humour about it
― flopson, Thursday, 6 September 2012 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
the way i think to argue abt it that doesnt make one sound like a heartless moral relativist, i think, is that in certain communities life has been so devalued that someone's death -- esp someone who seems to have decided to cash in on a death wish -- becomes a punchline. its wild how keef has become a fall boy for an entire culture.
also wtf https://twitter.com/RHYMEFEST/status/243512317894094848 at implying someone is a murderer on twitter

i'd venture that keef's internet following is way greater than boosie's also social media gets more ridiculous every year; i imagine by 2016, the news cycle will snap in half and we'll all need direct feed. for the moment it just means that when celebrities weigh in on murders in a public setting it is certainly gonna set off general madness

^^jessica hopper. i really liked this. but it's more just about chicago the city in general than keef. but i liked it. and one of our own makes a cameo saving raver children.

― Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2012 01:45 (eleven years ago) link
i think one of the things that happens when everyone focuses on the horrors of chicago is that people aren't giving credit to the artist for effectively capturing that vibe. i don't believe that keef's music is interchangeable with anyone else's in chicago, and i think what he did is original & SINGULAR. you don't have to like it, but claiming that he's just a lotto winner, as rhymefest has, is problematic b/c it completely eliminates any sense of agency from the artist, as if his music wasn't a craft or as if he hadn't done something to build his acclaim; it's as bad as people who like him b/c they see him as a ghetto caricature (even if his intentions might appear more noble). or that its just about white hipsters elevating fetish for authenticity. Authenticity issues are unquestionably wrapped up in it, but there are plenty of 'authentic' artists who aren't receiving a fraction of the attention he has.
so anyway, i just think it's important to emphasize that his music has clearly ~done something~ that is moving people, even if lex is not one of them.
― The rain in Spin circles mainly on the mansplain (D-40), Friday, 7 September 2012 02:35 (eleven years ago) link
not meant to be a dig at lex, btw, i just was using him as an example of someone for whom it hasn't resonated.

This isn't rap beef. This is gang beef in a rap setting. If you want to see something really depressing, you can trawl around social networks and find the same kinds of shockingly cold-blooded videos and tweets going back and forth between gangbangers who don't have burgeoning rap careers or anything else that would cause anyone from outside the neighborhood to care—the kind of young people who turn into nameless weekend-fatality statistics. They don't even get any music out of it.

he makes more memorable music than AB, better songs, etc...

Yeah I dont disagree w that analysis, just feel like the rapping is kind of similarly....workmanlike?
I like Trouble more than either, that bonus track springs to life the moment he gets on the track

― heiswagger (rennavate), Thursday, 13 September 2012 19:27 (eleven years ago) link
I think the Main Attrakionz dudes have more personality - their music is pretty personal, really. It's just that their voices are a bit abrasive and I quickly grow tired of them. This dude kinda just sits back and lets the beat do its work. I'm fine with that.
― insane in my mansplain (longneck), Thursday, 13 September 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link
"their music is pretty personal" doesn't mean "personality"... maybe charisma is the better word, those guys have no charisma, imo

I agree on the charisma tip. But I do think there's personality in there. Those guys live in and through their raps and are pretty distinct compared to other rappers. Their personalities just aren't particularly appealing or exciting, unfortunately. They seem aimless.

it's a pretty passing mention of so many shrimp, though LOL at the idea that blogging about youtube videos is akin to alan lomax field recordings...i mean, you seem to question the ways that various rap acts or songs are covered in the media, it didn't seem unfair to me.
the only bullshit would be that lomax kind of comes with an insinuation of exploitation, though i just finished a really good history of the blues book that calls into question who was playing who
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 October 2012 15:45 (eleven years ago) link
yeah 'lomax' being used or interpreted as a simple shorthand for exploitation is pretty problematic. i'm not so sure caramanica even meant it that way at all.
― some dude, Friday, 5 October 2012 15:49 (eleven years ago) link
this is the book i just finished:http://www.amazon.com/The-History-Blues-Francis-Davis/dp/0786860529
it's pretty interesting...he's harder on john hammond sr. than lomax....though it's interesting, his case is that the old blues guys were way more entertainers that played everything from delta blues to tin pan alley songs or whatever people liked, but they sensed what lomax wanted to hear and sort of tailored their stuff to fit his idea of "pure primitive" blues
like, for instance, who's this tortured, bedeviled soul named robert johnson doing this peppy little ragtime number?

well if you're saying you're a booster of the art that comes out of a scene, not of the violence or the uglier shit that comes out of the scene, I'm more sympathetic to that line of thinking and can see where you wouldn't want to get painted as A DARK CHRONICLE OF GHETTO LIFE or whatever but I didn't really see that implied... i guess you could read it that way?

Also why I'm reluctant to make a thread for it. Actually stopped listening to anything from GBE after Lil JoJo's murder. Couldn't really stomach it. But this week, I went through the tapes from Reese and Durk after the remastered L's Anthem, then Us remix, and despite everything these records still feel somehow significant.
A genre to itself, no I don't think so. I don't listen to tons of hip-hop, but I can't remember something so caught up with gang culture tbh. I mean, the lyrics for most of this are basically gang shout outs, often not much more. So describing something like Beef as a huge track is probably not smart description, but then I don't really know how I should be engaging with any of it. There is something relentless compelling, single-minded and even disturbing about it...

The way Jeezy sees it, Gucci is just upset that the Snowman has yet to collaborate with him after DJ Drama tried to broker peace between them in 2009. "He called a few times. I just told him it wasn't a good idea, we past that. I don't want to go backwards," he said. "He reached out a few times. I didn't do the records, so I guess he feel a way. I guess he didn't take his medicine that day. Short Bus Shawty."

I really really like DGainz's outdoors videos. I've been missing that everybody out in the streets smiling and dancing community feeling lately. Especially when it comes to women. There are too many videos these days with bored models hanging out in big empty villas while the rappers are rapping and no communication whatsoever. DGainz brought smiling back. That's one of the best things about the whole Chicago scene thing to me.

― fanute da croupier (D-40), Thursday, 18 October 2012 15:12 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know about that. I still play Trap Back all the time and its opening stretch (Back In 95 - Quiet - Walking Lick - Plain Jane - Get It Back - Trapback) is among my favorite stretches this year. I'm Up felt a bit long and lumpy, but from playing Trap God only once I got really exited about how it moved from effortlessly from strength to strength. Not saying it's THAT good cause I obv haven't lived with it enough, but I haven't really listened to any other similar tapes/albums this year that have been as consistently rewarding as these three have. Trap God was up against the Kendrick today (which might end up as AOTY to me) and if it had sounded half-weak I would have just turned it off instantly.
I tend to enjoy even Gucci's weaker stuff though.

I think I've quite suddenly lost all interest in following rap, although maybe I've kept up with it less and less over the past couple years. I'm not even sure I can bring myself to care about the Kendrick at this point even tho I loved Section.80 and everyone says it's good. It's been a couple months since I downloaded a new rap full-length album/mixtape. :/

that said i cant abide this 'the next flockaveli' talk b/c there's something abt waka's limitations granting him a weird kind of consistency b/c it was so easy for him to fill his lane & low expectations, he didn't have a 3 mill. deal or anything like that. but also just musically
aka it remains to be seen if keef can translate irl buzz to actual $$$ i wd think
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
i would bet keef makes a more flawed record tbh, but that the highs might strike a lil more ... deeply? on keef's. i mean think about it, there's something to the fact that waka could talk about some real shit & a lot of folks would basically reduce it to "hes like hip hop punk rock"-type shit, i'm not sure folks ever real gave waka much credit so there wasn't the same bond ... keef is like waka meets meek mill or something

Oh, I only call it that because I think it will be an uncomprimising album by an artist representing something new, yielding a great batch of singles, and an album that will gain a large following and sell a good deal but will also turn out to be divisive, with all the real-hiphop people complaining a lot about the artist's lack of talent, yet it will be seen as a milestone for years to come by people who care about such things. Nothing deeper than that.

that's an interesting essay
― let's have sex and then throw pottery (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 25 October 2012 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
that reese footage is so terrible.
honestly, it gets to the point where i don't even really want to follow hip hop anymore. and i'm not saying hip hop causes these things, but 25 years of rubbernecking at all this pain and violence and nihilism has just made it to the point where esp keef & reese & this stuff has no appeal to me really at all. just a more dead-eyed thudding version of shit i've been listening to since nwa & geto boys, and nothing changes, nothing is really learned from all of it. hell you could go back to schooly d who could be reese's grandfather. i remember reading that keef's MOM is 31 years old. seven years younger than me. i wish someone could help these kids or make things better for kids that grow up in those neighborhoods but i doubt that will happen, and hip hop sure hasn't helped. 10 years from now keef & them will be right back where they started probably. just not much fun or life in a lot of this music to me anymore. and part of me feels gross for having vicariously looked on for so long.
― seasonal hugs (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 25 October 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
this line from jordan's review of keef stuck out to me i remember:
As sociology, the mixtape reinforces just how and why violence is rooted in underclass communities, and though Keef has already been blamed for its perpetuation, at the age of 16, he's still years away from fully understanding the context in which his music exists
which j0rd u are a good writer and the review was well written but it's not sociology, that would suggest that something is being learned or discovered, it's just voyeurism for most of us.

i still believe there is an inherent value in the visibility of ppl in marginalized communities. it's not the reason i listen to it, although it can be wrapped up in it? partly rationalization sure, but i mean, this stuff does force you to be aware of something you would otherwise ignore
but its important not to pretend that just being 'aware' of this stuff does anything positive in & of itself

this may be true... i think personally GBE's music has been eye opening to me at times. as i've said when i've written about them, there's something very different & unique about their delivery and i think there is something to be learned in both that and the content of their music about how current teens in those communities think and feel. in many ways it's a reinforcement of things that rap has taught us/displayed for years, but in other ways i think it's something a bit different.
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 25 October 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link
I guess the question is how noticing your 'awareness' will influence the people you are aware of?A) The media attention has probably boosted some egos.B) The negative media attention in the wake of something like today's Reese video is bound to start some discussions, for better or for worse, and not just by queasy middle class rap aesthetes.

mostly i just don't find it very good as music either. keef's music feels pretty dead end philosphically and aesthetically to me. he's going to find himself in the same box that, say, an early 80s hardcore band did...his sort of singleminded, tunnel vision minimal nihilism is really the only thing that's going for the music, and i doubt he'll ever be able to do a better version of that than he did on his early singles/youtubes, if he's successful, he's only going to be farther removed from the world that he expresses now, if he tries to change or expand, he's just going to be more like every other rapper and maybe a less interesting version.

big pun actually got caught on camera pistol-whipping a woman. did u have these ~complicated feelings~ when listening to pun?
I mean the answer is 'yes' for me & probably for you too but im just saying, this isnt some new thing its the same horrible shit that has been happening
but now we're confusing wires, bc hip hop doesnt actually celebrate this kind of shit -- beating a woman is (i hope??) still not really all that fucking cool to anyone whereas homicide & drug dealing still are ostensibly at least in the context of the music
to me, a lot of this shit is as likely to make me reconsider the shit that ~isnt~ 'real' but still talks about a lot of gun talk & shit like that. it just makes it feel really inappropriate & ridiculous. it raises the bar as far as the uniqueness required for me to enjoy rap music that is so violent. etc. I mean i was never a big gibbs fan or w/e -- not saying he's fake, just that there's something that doesnt really impact me about it that does exist for keef n them, that makes its gun porn that much less appealing to me.

Well, Gibbs paints himself as the worst scumbag of all time, but because it's so obviously artful and syllable packed, the moral flag isn't waved. Keef and them have a primitive, brutal sound, and so when real life brutality wells up in its wake people (understandably) shy away from the aesthetics as well. I try to keep the two as separated as I can myself, hence "queasy middle class rap aesthete".

i mean, i was younger then and felt different i guess, i dunno. tbh having a kid kinda changed (for me) the way i see a lot of this stuff, it's a lot harder not to see them as kids, and now like keef is young enough and i'm old enough for him to *be* my kid...& having a little girls it's harder to not think about stuff differently or feel differently about it.

saying gibbs traffics in established musical approaches (established by others) rather than breaking novel artistic ground, i wd consider keef more 'artful' in this sense
part of the conundrum of gangster rap is the artfulness is located in how it conveys reality in new ways which feels like a paradox or contradiction or something
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Thursday, 25 October 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
that 'reality' should have scare quotes around it -- more like fantastical-realism or something

Hmmm. Not sure if I agree. I get that Gibbs feels more... conventional than Keef. A lot of people are trying to paint Keef as a generic artist but he definitely doesn't sound like anyone else. But I think it's more about a.... sense of transcendence through art than anything else, really. Like, there's very little transcendence in Gibbs thematically, but the very fact that he raps so well (fast, syllable packed flow, gritty narration filled with details, observer as much as he is a participant, etc) gives the impression that he can in some sense redeem what he talks about by rising above it - in and through art.
Keef on the other hand is... cyclical. He's caught up in the cycle, and his simple style feels cyclical and representative of the mentality he raps about. There's no escape - just the same thing over and over again. And that scares people. (I think it was pretty much the same thing with Gucci a few years ago).
If you look at that Chicago piece that was linked to above, it's all about transcendence through art - and this new "art" that isn't interested in transcending anything. This one: http://wohhiphop.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/chief-keef-my-lovehate-relationship-with-chicago/

I think the question is framed wrong. It's not about what's moving you - it's about why so many people are comfortable with Gibbs but get scared/uncomfortable by Keef.
And I really don't want to spend time writing an essay on Gibbs unless someone is paying me for it - I haven't even bothered listening to his newest album/tape yet, even though I think Bout It Bout It is Gibbs' best song in a very long time and would probably make it onto my year end list. But I'll try to say something brief:
When Gibbs, on his second Bout It Bout It verse raps "Grind till you put your moms in a new spot / On the block with the bomb it was too hot/On the block with the bomb it was so cold/ Sellin dope in the snow until my toes froze" - it is obviously "constructed" - with the hot cold dichotomy used in a clever way that brings attention to itself as a construction. There's also the shifting perspective from bar to bar: the conventional get-moms-a-new-house-motif moving to the rather impersonal hot/cold dichotomy that suddenly homes in on the refreshing detail of the freezing toes that suddenly makes the scene seem felt/experienced. Gibbs's perspective, his ability to see things from afar and then to zoom in such details establishes the verse as art, transcending the thing itself through a certain distance and a certain freedom of perspective: I was there, I know what it feels like - but now I can finally present it as a scene, seen from the outside. And that "technique" ultimately legitimizes the immoral subject matter: this is a report from reality, not the glorification of it. The resigned tone of the hook builds up under that too. Also, the way Gibbs squeezes syllables into his bars give off an impression of stoic urgency: there's so much that needs to be told.
So Gibbs is the rapper as intelligent reporter/prophet, showing us what we are spared from on the daily but which happens all the time. That's his ethos. You can of course argue that it's already been told a million times before, but I'd still say that this is a big part of Gibbs' appeal to rappity rap people. He transcends what he's rapping about through his style of rapping.
Now Keef doesn't do stuff like that. He embodies and celebrates his lifestyle, obliterating every distancing technique in sight. He's not interested in telling us about those cold toes - he wants money and guns to keep him warm. That is partly what makes it exciting, I think. And it's a new (?) technique rather than the absence of technique. When the old legitimizing techniques are discarded we suddenly feel like we're as close to the thing itself as it's possible to be. It's definitely limited - and limiting in respect to how Keef can possibly develop as an artist from this chosen technique. But it feels fresh and stimulating, what you refer to as "artful", I believe.
But it's also notable that when we write about Keef in the media, we tend to assume a kind of Gibbs-like role of the-reporter-of-things-as-they-are, using our status as eloquent outsiders to legitimize Keef's music and casting him as some sort of witness who is important yet tied to a particular perspective so that he does not see or understand the whole scene. So when Keef doesn't legitimate his art, that job kinda falls on the people who are writing about him and his music in a way that doesn't feel relevant with an artist like Gibbs, who does the job for us.

heard a chunk of the Meek album when they were playing it on the radio, sounded fine to me. whether or not it's good it bums me out that dude is gonna get buried for dropping a week after Kendrick. less bummed that A$AP Rocky's album will be even more buried, if it's still even dropping that day.
finally listening to Trap God, man i just can't get w/ nu Gucci that's basically aesthetically indistinguishable from a Yo Gotti record, dude used to have a lot more personality in his music and wasn't so trap-centric to the exclusion of everything else.

Not only that, the Eminem song is all righteous narcissism - and her song is about having your sense of self shattered. She totally turns the tables on the "male" songs on Classikz - Her Bitch Bad is about how it affects a young boy to see his father beat up his mother, etc. It feels like a much needed intervention.

― Luchinski pourin' from the sky, let's get rich (what) (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 5 November 2012 22:20 (eleven years ago) link
zay is way more lo-fi (lol) minimal, focuses on repeating small bits of notes, drumma more symphonic, more layers, more breadth, more likely to switch his style up completely
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Monday, 5 November 2012 22:20 (eleven years ago) link
ha, lolo-fi. Agree about Drumma, not versed on Zay enough to draw that conclusion though. That beat just sounded kinda similar to that Buck one to me but whatever.
Which Kilo Ali album is the best to get?

And deej is right, Drumma and Zaytoven are really nothing alike. Drumma Boy moves up and out, Zaytoven moves in circles, dizzily.

yeah it feels like labels have gotten better lately about capitalizing on whatever momentum they have instead of quixotically waiting out for some imaginary ideal moment to set a release date -- meek and kendrick and 2 chainz definitely benefited from a minimum of hemming and hawing. fun to watch the superstardom preview of the matrix 12 presumed for a$ap rocky wither on the vine, though.
― Citizen Ship (some dude), Tuesday, 6 November 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
the french thing is especially funny because obviously you could put eli porter on the first verse of "pop that" and it would be just as big a hit but still he's never gonna have a song bigger than that, just give him a fuckin release date already.

completely disagree. kanye doing a remix --even ignoring his stupid changes to the beat-- is about asserting his aesthetic onto someone else's vision. in this case, it's a favor to both 50 and wiz that they even get to guest on the record. (especially 50, who keef doesn't really need if he has wiz, and who badly needs a look like this)
fwiw i heard the version w/ 50 on it & he kinda kills it (havent heard wiz's verse)
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Monday, 12 November 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
i could imagine 50 sounding good on it because you could make the argument that keef's flow on that and "love sosa" is at least partially derived from 50's early sing-song raps, but it's still unnecessary. and wiz, jesus christ....
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Monday, 12 November 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link

― fanute da croupier (D-40), Monday, 12 November 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
Aight. I'll take your word for it. I was just hoping for the Flockaveli approach - the 50, Wiz, French and Ross features can only dilute Keef's aesthetic imo. And part of the problem with the Don't Like remix was that all these technical celebrity rappers just didn't know what to do with that beat.

i mean it depends on what shipley is talking about with "people" -- for keef's fanbase & rap fans in general, deej's point is totally true. j kwon was just a dude who got slid two incredibly hot beats. if "people" means critics/industry people then you have to remember that keef already put out a very good mixtape, so it's not like people are completely tripping off one or two singles at this point.

Oh will you relax already. Please
The Flockaveli approach: young rapper with a distinct aesthetic being allowed to make debut album (originally meant to be a mixtape, JUST LIKE FINALLY RICH), with the producer/sound/crew he came up with, without any unnecessary celebrity guests/remixes/painful attempts at crossover hits/passing of torches.
This may, in fact, be nearly what we get. But the presence of most of these Big Names makes me nervous.
When Keef starts trying to rap like Rick Ross, grunts and all, we can compare him to Soulja Boy. As for now, I'll stick with Waka.
― weak willie (longneck), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:35 (eleven years ago) link
but he doesnt sound anything like waka
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Monday, 12 November 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link
Of course he doesn't. That's not the point. The point is the singular aesthetic. No one (since crunk) had sounded remotely like Waka - which is also why the PT feature made sense. This is also the argument for the 50 Cent feature making some kind of sense.
If I were to make an argument for Keef sounding like Waka I would have reached for the pre-Flockaveli early feature days, before Waka got enthusiastically energetic. But I'm not making that argument, since it's not a very interesting argument to make.

Definitely. I think the biggest problem with the "complete crossover star" theory is that Keef just isn't very good with publicity and such. He'll never be a Snoop or a 50 or a Kanye or a Wiz.

like, 'no hands' was a complete accident in waka's career that relied mainly on roscoe dash for hit making. keef does his own hooks so i'd say his potential ceiling is higher than waka's
i dont think you remember what it was like when any of these artists first emerged (or for shits sake lil wayne)
this is, like, in snoop's career equivalency, around the time he was arrested for murder

Yeah, I was assuming you were right about their intentions and was criticizing their analysis, not yours. The thing is that Keef seems really uncomfortable around other people than his crew. Most of these stars manage to give off the impression that they're on top of things somehow. Keef seems kinda autistic.
I think you're underselling Waka though. It's really sad that he missed the mark with Triple F Life. If we're talking about a potential new Snoop in this generation at all I would probably place have placed a small bet on Waka being it, even though his albums aren't selling nearly enough.

yeah i mean it's been so long since there's been like a real gangsta rap superstar that it's hard to think of what major success for a guy like him would mean -- as big as Drake? Meek Mill is more 'marketable' than Keef and he seems to have hit his ceiling already somewhere in the middle. big sales w/o radio saturation like Kendrick?
― my hands tra cer (some dude), Monday, 12 November 2012 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
i think it depends on how big his singles get (particularly 'hate being sober' which def seems like the closest possibility). Meek has trouble with the singles, I think a lot of people perceive that Keef has an immediacy / ear for hooks that Meek doesn't have, even though Meek definitely has the intangible / identification thing completely locked down. If Meek gets an out-of-the-park hit (as opposed to "Amen" being a solid rap radio hit) I think he would have done a lot more

― fanute da croupier (D-40), Monday, 12 November 2012 22:22 (eleven years ago) link
Meek and Keef have similar problems though.
Meek *made* Ima Boss into the monster hit that it became. Yet as early as with House Party it began to become evident that he might have problems making hit songs that don't hinge upon him screaming energetically over really hype tracks.
Keef has similarly had success with doing things his way - Love Sosa is this year's Ima Boss, more or less. But there's nothing about him that even remotely suggests that he'll be able to make other types of songs than the one he's mining now convincingly.
― weak willie (longneck), Monday, 12 November 2012 22:46 (eleven years ago) link
"I Don't Like"? "Kobe"? "Hate Being Sober"?
what are you even talking about? I'm A Boss is a hit because of the beat, not because of Meek's voice

lol. What am I even talking about? Are you really saying that Keef's songs are remarkably varied? That he has a number of approaches to writing and delivery? A wide range of subjects to tackle?His aesthetic is pretty narrow, man. And Kobe and Love Sosa are both kinda derivative of Ross's BMF/MC Hammer phase, while Don't Like is clearly a one off thing. But it doesn't matter since it works right now and that is all that matters.
Also, Meek made Ima Boss. The beat certainly helped. But Meek took it over the top.
― weak willie (longneck), Monday, 12 November 2012 23:00 (eleven years ago) link
'kobe' is closer to a gucci song than anything bmf related; 'love sosa' sounds absolutely nothing like it. 'don't like' is closer to that kind of luger sound. have you actually heard his mixtape?
it's esp ironic to see matt "i like all 3rd generation roc marci knockoffs' h3lg3son weighing in on keef's supposed lack of diversity tho
i mean seriously guys, you could say the same thing about snoop on doggystyle, what kind of 'diversity' are you looking for? he's not nearly as narrow in scope as you're making it out to be

i agree that meek is critical to the song being dope but he's got nothing to do w/ it being a catchy hit; that's all the beat
The thing I keep going back to when hearing GBE songs is this:
I know what I'm doing. I mastered it. And I don't even really use metaphors or punchlines. 'Cause I don't have to. But I could. People don't want me to start doing it. But I don't like that. I think that's doing too much. I'd rather just say what's going on right now. Real talk, you know? Like, what's going on. I don't really like metaphors or punchlines like that. I'll leave it up to them, people who do that. It's good for them. But as me doing it, I don't do it. I could, though. I used to, when I first started rapping, coming up. I did, I done it before but then I slowed down like 2008, 2009. I slowed down with that punchlines and metaphor.
Pop rap is so much about clever punchlines and metaphors (Drake's verse on "Us" is a perfect example) that it makes sense that it's time for someone to run the opposite way. That's why I say (in the Chief Keef thread) that I hope he doesn't give up the no-punchline no-clever minimalist manifesto style for songs about shopping.

― mh (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 12 November 2012 23:07 (eleven years ago) link
i mean its evident that keef's stuff is more focused on a singular aesthetic than, like, the kendrick record. But i don't see how that's supposed to be somehow in opposition to him becoming a crossover success. It's not like there was some huge thematic variation in 'get rich or die trying' or 'doggystyle' either (which again i don't think this will touch those in sales, for obvious reasons not to mention the current state of the industry, but i'm talking purely in terms of the aesthetic range)

It didn't register with me until Kobe - but both songs' hooks loosely revolve around openly embracing a second identity (Sosa/Kobe) in a way that few rap songs did before BMF/MC Hammer. (And yes I do know that Scarface references abound in hiphop. Tony Montana is another one, but it probably wouldn't exist if not for Ross.)
No rapper has ever consistently used the letter O to greater effect than Keef has though: Doooooon't/Soooooooooosa/Kooooooobe/Soooooooooober. As long as he sticks to his o's he'll be fine.
Also, just for the record, I actually love rap right now and am really looking forward to the Keef album.

Just curious, by "at that time" - are you referring to a) "Doggystyle, The Chronic & Deep Cover-Snoop", b) "The Chronic & Deep Cover-Snoop" or just c) "Deep Cover-Snoop".
I can see the case for c), but really - Snoop on The Chronic is far more versatile than anything I've seen from Keef yet. I have no problem with limited aesthetics - I just think Snoop's was always more varied, and not only because Dre's G-Funk aesthetic was more varied than Young Chop's is now. Snoop was approaching those beats in all kinds of ways,
― weak willie (longneck), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 08:24 (eleven years ago) link
Let me just add that I think Keef's career arc has already surpassed Noz's victimizing "By giving Keef this instant attention, we’ve all but frozen his talent in the moment. Any creative momentum or professional hunger he possessed at first will almost certainly dissolve because, in his head, he’s already made it. I’d like him to prove me wrong, but I doubt he will. Write any 16 year old a million dollar cheque and see if his motivations still lie with artistry" thing
(http://thewire.co.uk/in-writing/essays/collateral-damage_andrew-nosnitsky)
The attention has enabled songs like Love Sosa, Kobe and Hate Being Sober to become what they deserve to be, hits.

I can definitely live with 50 Cent being on HBS. But Wiz just feels wrong, as if they're desperate to counter 50's potential midas-in-reverse touch with someone who is "actually relevant" and will help it get on the radio.

Sometimes he sounded cool or complemented a song well or it just worked, like on mesmerized. Im not sure youd call keef's verse a "hot 16" either, but he is funny on it and has presence, while wiz just completely empties the track of energy the second he shows up

― flopson, Friday, 16 November 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
yeah traditionally everything gets a sales bump around the holidays although i think the effect is more and more negligible especially for rap now, and labels just kinda do it out of force of habit or to unload some albums they'd been delaying all year (see also: t.i., big boi and wiz dropping in december) and of course they don't give a shit about critical attention, although keef probably should given the ratio of press attention to radio spins.

based on what i've heard from the keef record this isn't anything remotely like a waka career path. seems like a pretty decent debut record which is to say a mixed bag w/ some great original songs that have no precedent & show strong personality ('love sosa' 'hate being sober') songs that are nearly a year old & we are tired of & no longer sound as fresh ('3hunna' 'i dont like') weird but solid songs that show the primary influence of gucci mane (who, musically, seems like a much more significant influence on keef at this point than Waka does, imho) ('laughing to the bank,' 'diamonds') and then wack /forgettable tracks that either aim for modern rap sound ('no tomorrow' the mike will joint) or post-soulja boy autotune gumbo ('ballin'). i guess that leaves 'kaykay' which is obv dope but mostly for how it humanizes him.
basically i think that this is a nascent career & he has a higher potential ceiling that he hasn't reached yet, has an original voice but is still evolving out from under his influences on all but his best tracks, but still has a strong enough individual voice that im not partic worried or anything

Worth buying, imo. The sequencing is much better and the new songs are good. I could do without Luda and, perhaps, Kelly Rowland, but I'm not mad.

hello regional thugs
so i decided my early new years resolution was gonna be to make a consistent effort to listen to more us urban radio, for reasons you've probably seen me detail before
if there's any dependable stations / fun mixshows you'd like to recommend i'd appreciate it, doesnt have to be bleeding edge exclusives
listened to a bit of wgci last night (jamal smallz & dj a-oh), nothing yall won't know very well but i really really enjoyed it, haha probably my favourite thing was the radio edit of 'my hoes they do drugs' which is awesome and so jagged it kinda turns it into this bugged-out bounce tune #littledidtheyknow
also something called 'blackout' by someone called agassi, he might've been a bit corny but the beat was cool

history: mob and function music is dope, but e40's been remarkably consistent putting out like what 200 songs in the last few years?
droop-e is so underrated as a producer, these tracks fucking knock
― childish bambino (rennavate), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link
yeah those albums are good, although imo a little short dog goes a long way and it's clearly 40's show to a kind of absurd extent
― some dude, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link
true, but i actually think 40 and short dog work well off each other
― childish bambino (rennavate), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
It's clearly an E-40 affair, but too short's presence is really useful. Without him it probably would've been too 'monolithic' or something.
― sisilafami, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 17:58 (eleven years ago) link
without him it would've been even more exactly like the last seven E-40 albums
― some dude, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
which is why his presence elevates it past that
also "cali" on the first disc is amazing

― some dude, Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
a fair point. i guess i just really like the bay area sound, especially as done by 40. i think history is actually much better than the last few solo e40 efforts, too short is a really refreshing presence
― childish bambino (rennavate), Tuesday, 27 November 2012 18:34 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the problem with the triple disc isn't that it's too much music, it is that it's too much music that is no that good. history is better, as was the revenue retrievin series.

The thing is... the THING IS... that they are fucking up majorly by having all these features on his singles. He gets drowned out by them. The kids love HIM. He is easily the most requested artist at rap club nights but the kids don't want to hear Pop That or even Shot Caller remixes. They are requesting obscure solo stuff. And I didn't understand that at all until I gave Mac and Cheese 3 a fair chance and noticed that it's when French is doing his sloppy French thing over semi-sloppy Harry Fraud beats that the tape really comes to life. So yeah. They're fucking up.

i didn't really intend it that way, more just reacting to stuff and typing/thinking outloud about a sort of slow, building disenchantment with something that has really been something i've been a huge fan of for, god, i guess 25 years now...also i kinda don't feel like i have much more to contribute to this thread anymore, just stuff doesn't really grab me and esp now after you mentioned it i do feel like i've kinda become some kinda grumpy old-head killjoy abt stuff which is sort of a dumb way to be considering i have spotify and can just listen to like shitloads of old folk music i'm digging and not really worry abt "the state of hip hop" like my opinion really matters anyway :)
tbh the drug dat hoe thing is just sort of a signpost that's really obvious, but i'm sure if i was feeling more new uglier stuff from an artistic/musical standpoint i'd probably be more into holding my nose and bumping it like i did through 2 decades of rapper saying ugly shit

Wow, that's some ignorant shit.I mean, I know 2/3rds or more of rap has always been garbage, but this is kind of in a class by itself (based on stuff that has gotten this much attention, anyway).I think if we took the words "my n*ggas!" out of that track to be replaced with dead air, you wouldn't have enough left to cover a commercial jingle. (Be a helluva commercial though.) Nice to see that the rap crowd has it's own version of Chavs.

I don't like/get most (mainstream) rap at all. I like 80s rap (if "It's Tricky" ever comes on at a party, or a supermarket you know I'm going to be dancing) and I also like Macklemore. A friend of mine said 'oh! If you like Macklemore, check out Odd Future.' I can't stress enough how much I'm put off my Odd Future and Tyler and the Creator. I don't like the music and his visuals are (intentionally) unsettling. Am I the whitest person ever? Or am I just an obscene hipster?

i think 95% of references to 'ratchet' these days are just using it interchangeably with 'ghetto' or w/e and not referencing whatever fake subgenre -- i'm not even sure if cali 'ratchet' is as famous as louisiana 'ratchet' circa 5 years ago

What did you think overall? I just got through it today, as well, but wasn't really focusing too intently. Some really embarrassing stuff but some kinda good stuff? Weird that he basically just lifted two well-known tracks to rap over (D'angelo 'Lady' and Bone '1st of tha month'), I think I like the Lady track.

well, i think that ppl overstate the repetition of the flow in love sosa if you think it doesn't work, there's variation in certain parts of it and the way he puts together particular lines, i mean the pattern is obviously intended to be predictable & then he pushes away from it at certain points

I still cant get excited about Keef & crew. I know its lame to say "it all sounds the same" but I just cant get past that with this stuff, I've tried. I think it has just as much to do with the production as it does the rapping.

Sometimes it hits the right note but it all kinda blends together after a while? Build up... drop... repeat. I'm reducing it quite a bit obv and I know there is variation within that sound, I'm just not interested in the raps enough to search out the couple few tracks/beats I might like.

I pretty much mentally file Game in the "hip-hop Ween" category at this point. Often hilarious homage to different artists with almost every song, adapting their stylistic tics and trademarks. Of course Ween's comedy is intentional, but I think the comparison holds some water.

I don't like "Laughing to the Bank," "No Tomorrow" (I like the beat, Keef doesn't do anything with it) or "3Hunna" (flatliner) and "Got Them Bands" is way too fucking all over the place, way too much song going on.
But I really like the rest of the album.
― bish (bosch), don't kill my vibe (rennavate), Thursday, 13 December 2012 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
'3hunna' is a classic & one of his best songs albeit the 2nd keef verse >>>>>>> ross's verse

it's just keef and the beat are far too repetitive, it becomes really grating. that damn flute-like synth makes me want to gouge out my ears.
when keef is on point he successfully uses repetition to a hypnotic effect, but "laughing" tips the scale too far

I think it's well written but I probably slightly disagree with him about almost everything.
There's a lot of joy in this to me, which is why it works so well, Keef's brand of aggression is closer to Gucci's cool but menacing aggression than Waka's, and, yeah, Keef is a kind of lyricist - the minimalist kind. People tend to equate lyricism with a certain quantity of words and metaphors and, sometimes, sincerity and "messages". But Keef is pretty precise with his words, for all his cooler than a coolers, and the minimal style suits his persona. He gets the message across.

Thats not a small number considering the climate and that his big singles haven't even really impacted. He outsold Futures first week numbers by 15k, and still 4k if you include pluto 3d.

deej, if you don't like a widespread perception of you, even if you believe it's been distorted or exaggerated by other parties, at some point you still have to take responsibility for how others see you. it's all, at root, based on things you've said and done, so if you don't think their perception is fair or correct, you should think about what you say and do instead of just blaming other people. it's really the only sane way to approach the internet.

making my way through noz' eoy list, here's some boring notes on trax u already heard:
i'm not even sure i know why young scooter 'columbia' is awesome but goddamn it so is
omg young thug 'keep in touch' <3
chance the rapper 'juke juke' also <3, was this a hit, why not
alkopo don deserves his own thread
cousin fik 'knocka nigga down' http://i.imgur.com/ETMsa.gif
maybe kinda p much hate 'druggys with hoes again'
idk about 'bars' over 'val venis' on this list but king louie is a good-ass rapper no doubt
i'd deliberately ignored trina 'beam' til now but WAU this that og slip n slide shit
shame about lil reese cos 'haters' is an amazing beat
i can remember rocko's first album and big single (in idk what 2009) as a real "ok idgi anymore" moment for me personally but damn he's really come along since then. or was i just so wrong back then?
tree's tape should have appeared on way way way more eoy albums lists than it did, which was none iirc

i think it's pretty dope... not an amazing beat but serviceable. that little raking noise is kinda cool. i actually think his rapping on that song are a big reason why the song works... i mean it's kinda crazy that dude has the hottest song in rap and the entire song is basically one long verse where he literally doesn't even rhyme. it's very post-lil b so i understand that it doesn't really crossover with the ship aesthetic.

it's so good! reminds me in a sideways fashion of "get buck" (an all-time fav) but with more slathery synths

maybe noz would read this board less if chief deef didn't mention him pretty much every single day

Red Bull Records is going alt-rock all the way, though, the platinum AWOLNATION single they put out is a classic imo

ha, is the UK some bizarro world where "Cashin' Out" wasn't a ubiquitous summer jam?

It didnt seem huge in Canada, but I'm not really a club/party goer so my sense of these things is limited (though it does suggest it wasn't ubiquitous)

― fanute me or shoot me (some dude), Friday, 28 December 2012 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
not remotely ubiq here no, big enough to have been heard of though
