KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

lol @ breakfast

talking v-nasty xp

i just assumed lil debbie was a kreayahawn alias

gucci gucci was way better than this obv

this is gonna get shit on more than it deserves b/c of all the build-up, its not like a hundred songs of this quality dont touch the world's rap radars on any given week

The system is on trial

chickenheads coming home to roost

good interview w/ her in fader

yeah aggressively not good. can't actually imagine how this went down when she and her manager discussed w/label. BUT also very strange in that when I've seen/read interviews w/her, she seems way more interesting than the above suggests. ha maybe she's supposed to be a fashion designer/art director and not a musician??

this is hilariously terrible

"I got all the syrup" <--- how greedy

it's not really that bad -- the same thing happened with the v-nasty/gucci album... it was just unmemorable and disappointingly perfunctory but bcuz of who v-nasty was some people acted like it was some notable affront to hip hop

this song just sounds like 5 joints that float out to blogs every week

most music, let alone most hip-hop, is hilariously terrible

this is banal in the way 99% of 2chainz features are

musically, it sounds like something off the last roach gigz album, which i was also disappointed with

i think her rapping is fine on it, its just not a dope song

I dunno man, opening rhymes before the beat drops border on straight up terrible

it's not really that bad -- the same thing happened with the v-nasty/gucci album... it was just unmemorable and disappointingly perfunctory but bcuz of who v-nasty was some people acted like it was some notable affront to hip hop

i kinda think you've been spending too much time in based god/riff raff land if you can't figure out that not everybody is really into rappers doing simple little 8th note flows without actually riding the beat

the 2 Chainz verse is hilariously short and half-assed, even on the curve of his usual tossed-off style, like he almost wants you to know how much he doesn't give a shit about being on that song

he def wasn't getting paid by the word

I dunno man, opening rhymes before the beat drops border on straight up terrible

ehhh, they're generic but not 'bad'

idk her music is p worthless w/out immediacy & pop appeal imo, so its kind of irrelevant, like, im def not checking for her for verses, but at the same time her raps fed into what made 'gucci gucci' work

it's a combo of the rhymes and her delivery, a great flow forgives a host of ain't-saying-nothing sins but that's like worst of both worlds

i'm sure you're right and that kind of makes it worse to me.

like i don't really get you and deej's angle on this..."this sucks but sure lots of stuff sucks"?

I guess their point is don't count her out for one anonymous-sounding wack track

but if yr hotly awaited follow-up to yr massive 35MM views youtube hit sounds like it's running on fumes how far is this jalopy gonna go realistically

we're anticipating the hate its going to receive being disproportionate b/c of a cocktail of schadenfreude & sexism

this song went harder

lol I'd taken my headphones off and there forgotten that I was playing the Death Grips album when I started that and was all "oh holy shit, that's amazing- oh wait, that is 'Bitch Please' *hits off* okay lol"

xpost

that's terrible too! it's just a shitty as pancakes one!

if the only reason ppl are singling it out for hate is because it's kreayshawn that's the same thing because the only reason you are half-heartedly defending-it-while-stopping-short-of-denying-that-its-obviously-total-garbage is because it's kreayshawn and you are obviously invested in the idea that she's somehow notable

lol "shitty as pancakes"

"firetruck" = at least sounds competent
"breakfast" = amateur hour

I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself ever from hearing Kreayshawn. I don't really hate it, it just makes me really, really sad somehow.

'invested'?? i'm not defending this song, just the inevitable overreaction. inasmuch as i think ppl praise wack garbage & hate on stuff that is actually-dope all the time. i mean u can see it on rap radar calling keef a 'flavor of the month' or w/e too ... all about creating an aura of worthiness around auteurs & etc. that leads to b.s. like this

& i mean i like black hippy but the comparison is hilarious.

'gucci gucci' was a great rap single in the vein of l'trimm, 'my back my neck,' & any number of other classic hip hop one-offs, i don't know if her album is gonna be garbage or dope or w/e but i do know that there are a lot of ppl w/ ideas about serious art & ephemeral bullshit that have a slaughterhouse CD they'd like to sell you

speaking of, the new kendrick single is just as bad as this song just in a different way

I doubt that dude is happy about being the MC Ren of the group lol

also li'l mama

xp

or a playboy tre one

deej otm also otm about that terrible kendrick song but it is for a video game soundtrack so whatever

ren is one of the most underrated MCs of all time IMO

deej i agree w/this:

'gucci gucci' was a great rap single in the vein of l'trimm, 'my back my neck,' & any number of other classic hip hop one-offs, i don't know if her album is gonna be garbage or dope or w/e but i do know that there are a lot of ppl w/ ideas about serious art & ephemeral bullshit that have a slaughterhouse CD they'd like to sell you

so like i dunno, just stop caring about kreayshawn! if it was current we'd all have to like "come to terms" with JJ fad's post supersonic work or some shit.

yeah i mean i think that everyone just assumes everything that attains viral popularity is a lana del rey situation of think piece culture/ 'is this bloggable?' overshadowing 'the music, maaan' but you're not going to find an act that doesn't rely on that kind of engine getting signed any more

kreayshawn was getting by on being bloggable tho

her mom was in a punk band! v-nasty said the n-word! interesting!

yeah but thats like ... every act ever

tupac was pretty bloggable imo

so you're saying she's good...or not? or we shouldn't be talking about how she sucks even though she sucks because we're just reacting to the buzz about her but then again she has buzz because she's interesting but so was tupac when fluxblog rocketed him to fame in 2001?

i just mean new boss same as the old boss. ppl used to complain about how 'the media' or the corporate rap label overlords were telling us what to like in the 90s & now its 'blog buzz'

being bloggable might not mean ur worthwhile but it also doesnt mean you're not. being bloggable is an essential part of the game

um... "my neck my back" is NOT a one off. i celebrate queen khia's entire discography

thats all i have to say abt this

/gump

so like i dunno, just stop caring about kreayshawn!

^^^ ding ding ding

i mean look deej you were right about pill, i got off that bandwagon as fast as i could - now it's your turn

but pill never had a good song

haha i was just thinking that

"deej, its ok" *puts hand on deej's shoulder* "just admit you were wrong about kreayshawn and we'll promise to let you live it down"

but pill never had a good song

but i thought/still think he did, and when his output got progressively less notable, i stopped having expectations. it's ok
