KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

ok well rest assured kreayshawn isn't in bon iver territory

i was pretty much just talking about how she was on the mtv video awards \oO/

shes certainly a star relative to uffie which was the context we were talking about

comparing her to lady gaga is like, of course shes not on that level ... who is, lil wayne?

irl mainstreamers i know have heard of her. its not rlly that much of a leap to suggest shes mildly famous

& certainly compared to uffie

I have seen twentysomethings in my world of young people get excited and rap along when Gucci Gucci is an "identify this song" audio clue at pub trivia

a household name among p4k people

good to know that in between fielding those phone calls from Kreayshawn, yr flying across the planet to scope out the browser histories of strangers, while they're at uni or refugee crisis centres or selling cupcakes in the QVB

pfork didnt even cover her. MAINSTREAMERS bro

i was just reposting for the mixed metaphor of something being a "household name" even though it refers to a very select and small group of households, most of which probably dont own houses

haha

ok but u could say that bon iver (original "p4k household name") has probably already crossed over to the homeowning adult contemporary crowd. so many progressive adults responsibly bumpin it on their ecofriendly commute. do modern progressive adults own houses or condos btw?

also in interests of extreme accuracy lets just say that kreayshawn is a highly bloggable name in the nascent genre of tumblr rap

i really don't know if starbucks is a good metric, they sell tons of shit no one has ever heard of in there

that said, they did have bon iver up at the registers right next to beyonce in its first week

fennel cartwright

dats me

i like the name ; )

Bon Iver album was #2 on the charts.

Here, too - held off by Adele.

Brey's remix: http://www.fabriclondon.com/blog/view/audio-download-a-refix-of-kreayshwan-by-brey kinda bangs.

that said, they did have counting crows up at the registers right next to mariah in its first week

that's a lot more like uffie... detached, shock value club rap

that said it's kinda hot

there are some points where she's clearly trying to sound like she's from the south that i think are maybe problematic but w/e

the video is like lana del ray trying to do khia

lol that little kid

that girl can not rap

i wasn't paying attention

trying to hide yr b0n3r

what's the sample at the beginning from?

An older song of hers.

it's fucking Princess Superstar for a post-LastNightsParty. Is everyone like 20 and doesn't remember anything?

i mean this:

hey i remember princess superstar

female mc paul barmans the lot of em

haha whiney otm re: princess superstar

but i think kreayshawn is more detached than this iggy lady, who's obvi trying too hard

also love how this was the apex of princess superstar's career... i'd imagine iggy has a similar future as a feature on a hit cataracs song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZl165WDjDA

superstar also released a painful concept album o_O

i liked the concept album in 2005, but i p like all rap concept albums

it aged so poorly, but perhaps will be recognized as a landmark in 10 years when electroclash inevitably becomes retro and vogue

max had an entertaining tumblr post bringing up that point

kudos to yelawolf for some real talk in relation to v-nasty dropping the n-word:

"I’m from the South. That shit don’t fly. And in Alabama, put it this way. There are grandparents alive today whose parents went through a war. We’re just out of the slave trade. It’s very real situation," he said. "You don’t take that shit lightly, especially Hip Hop and American music culture is black culture. Don’t ever get it fucked up. Know your roots, know where the fuck you’re getting this music from and respect it. And don’t embarrass white people and white rappers by doing that dumb shit, by dropping the N-bomb and thinking you’re all cool and shit. You’re going to find yourself slapped up and it might be by a white boy. Because you ain’t gonna embarrass me around my people like that."

He continued by explaining that there are still racial tensions in the United States and that the use of the word goes deeper than rap. "We’re not very far away from real-life problems. Obama is the president, but it doesn’t mean that less than 50 years ago, people were getting… People are still getting mobbed. It ain’t no joke, man. Certain people have the birthright to use that word. I don’t know. As a white rapper, it’s always been a big no-no, but as a human being, it’s been an even bigger no-no."

yelawolf otm

that is :)

why do ppl keep asking every rapper about v nasty

well tbf mr. yelawolf isn't exactly 'every rapper' w/r/t this argument
