KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

Cue link to st0rmfr0nt post on gucci gucci lol

would read tbh

google st0rmfr0nt find david

thing is there was a time, in rap or otherwise, when you could actually have a career for a decent amount of time off of having just one song out before people either need to hear more or will gladly forget about you. i'm not 100% whether that not being the case anymore is a good thing or a bad thing.

100% sure

kreayshawn has other good stuff i mean - i like kreayshawn x the bay, which came out after gucci gucci single - but the only reason it's good is cuz kreayshawn has cool friends. on the mixtape i find her verses essentially indistinguishable from the other white gurls, which furthers "one song and a racist friend"

she is playing in london tomorrow btw. at everyone's favourite venue the old blue last ;-)

I hadn't heard kreayshawn x the bay but doesn't that put her in a lineage of weirdo bay rappers more than support an argument that she doesn't have a unique voice? Saying she sounds like her friends isn't very damning criticism

good god kreayshawn at the old blue last, this must be some sort of experiment in trying to create a black hole of horror

"gucci gucci" is a great pop song but really her voice is just too nasal and a bit whiny to tolerate in larger doses

a) this song is like the only rap that WILD BEASTS fans listen to in 2011

granted i don't live in williamsburg but i really haven't gotten the impression that kreayshawn is the cam'ron of 2011 (which wouldn't be the worst thing anyway)

i was thinking maybe we could just stop thinking about what kind of rap indie/hipster/chillwave ppl listen to and just listen to rap music we like and talk about that?

dont go in the stereogum rap thread

too late

^^^always the bastion of sanity, this guy, for realz

I didn't think rap was popular in 2011, like its kind of played out now

in a couple months we'll all be living in a post loutallica world, and I bet you idiots will still be posting about rap music

i haven't ruled out the possiblity that loutallica is a rap album.

^^^^

lil dog

kreayshawn x the bay is just bay producers remixing tracks off her mixtape in a really fun and DGAF way. she doesn't actually rap alongside any of them, so i hesitate to say she falls in that lineage.

what may have been missed here is that i wasn't necessarily trying to damn kreayshawn by the uffie comp. i like kreayshawn and i liked uffie when she came out. i'm just trying to say that it all feels very temporary. white girl mob is a cool idea but i dunno if it necessarily makes for compelling music or a bona fide star...

shes already a star...?

in what possible universe?

p4k/WILD BEASTS/ilx universe

she was on the MTV Music Awards, nom'd for best new artist. that counts for... something

srsly deej i'm not even trying to start any shit here but if you really think this chick is a STAR (a word/concept that has pretty much been drained of any universally held meaning over the last ten years, admittedly) then yr gonna suffocate pretty soon in this bubble

oh god please don't do this thing where we compare internet stats

~~~just sayin~~~

google news headline results
kreayshawn: 434
WILD BEASTS: 309
bon iver: 505
arcade fire: 934
lady gaga: 11,400

anyways don't think the gaga comp is fair - kreayshawn and gaga exist in different universes entirely. but considering she's in the same headline territory as bon iver, a household name among p4k people, and not too far behind ~~GRAMMY WINNERS~~ arcade fire, i'd say that's "stardom" to some degree.

dwarf stardom

wonder who is a neutron star
