KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

the only 'expectations' i have is that ppl are birdmanhandrub-ing in anticipation of calling her a one hit wonder

love this post

yeah maybe there is or will be actual vitriol for "Breakfast" out there, everything i've seen has been more lol smh

i agree reaction to this will be overheated but its also the follow-up single to one of the most divisive rap hits of last year and is, like, unambiguously bad. sexism & schadenfreude will be a part of some reactions but al is right you can't act like this is just another 2 chainz feature, it's a notable flop from an artist with a nasal voice & generally obnoxious vibe

wait when did we start talking about drake again

lol

my problem with kreayshawn is basically the same as wiz khalifa, these motherfuckers aren't even rapping they're just talking in meter, barely even feels like a record, who needs that shit

well as jordan s once pointed out, what is rap but rhythmic speaking?

ok y'all are asking "what is rap" on the kreayshawn thread, ppl need to be yellow carded or put in the penalty box or some such shit

Am I being naive or does the chorus of "Breakfast" sound a ton like "Stupid Hoe"? Also she sounds so fucking bored and uninterested in this song!

Tbh I don't blame her for being uninterested in that song

how can ppl hate her

It's easier than you think!

congrats on being heartless

its not going to do numbers, at least partly since theyve so mishandled her career -- she should have had immediate follow-ups released to GG -- but i kind of wish this would sell the hundreds of thousands it would have in the pre-internet era back before rockists got to feel self righteous every time a hugely popular artist had trouble selling CDs

for the sake of argument -- what hugely popular gold-selling rappers of the pre-itunes era is she analogous to, just cause i can't even visualize anyone, even setting aside race or gender or w/e

candy man of 'knockin boots' fame

idk to pick a completely random example lol

have people forgotten that, like, there were teen rap one hit wonders prior to the internet?

not that he was a teen this is more a general question that's been popping up lately for probably obvious reasons

"Knockin' Boots" was a platinum single at a time when that was a pretty impressive feat. "Gucci Gucci" doesn't have any sales certification even in the iTunes era when any real big hit at least goes gold.

its impossible to compare them b/c you couldnt do on-demand streams of 'knockin boots' 35 million times back in the knocking boots era either.

are you saying there aren't popular rap songs with 35+ million youtube views AND platinum iTunes sales? is "Gucci Gucci" as popular as "Teach Me How To Dougie" in your mind or something?

that song was already a hit when the video dropped

correct me if im wrong

so if the video dropped earlier it would've hurt its sales? wtf are you talking about?

one big room, full of bad logic

hehe

im talking about the road a song takes to getting to its audience. by the time the vid for 'dougie' comes out people have already paid for mp3s

why are we even pursuing this line of reasoning w/r/t a song for which the video was basically the engine of its success

for the sake of argument -- what hugely popular gold-selling rappers of the pre-itunes era is she analogous to, just cause i can't even visualize anyone, even setting aside race or gender or w/e

Althea and/or Donna?

they were toasters at best, not rappers

lol "gucci gucci: the uptown top ranking of its time" may be too crazy for even deej to endorse

one hit wonders whose potential disappeared in a cloud of smoke?

Not that I know anything about Althea and Donna's circumstances

not all one hit wonders are created equal -- i mean if we're actually trying to discuss the scale of success of "Gucci Gucci" and people are genuinely saying it was as popular as "Uptown Top Ranking" or "Knockin' Boots" was in its day then i dunno what to say

Lol deej, childhood videos, accusations of rockism, candyman comparisons, yr shootin' dirty pool tonight

next thing you know it will be slo-mo videos of kray looking longingly into the camera with that sarah mclaughlin adding from the animal shelter commercial playing....”with only pennies a day, you could help provide a viral rapper with books, clothes, and adderal”

if that video didnt charm you you're the cynical one here imo

Dude it was cute, i have a two year old girl I just read to and rocked to sleep, I'm a sentimental fool in a way frankly no one in a world of young ppl could even comprehend.

So she was a cute kid, she had one pretty fun song, it need not be more than that

i'm sure hitler was totes adorable as a rugrat too, man. seems un-germane to his adult activities, though.

"there it is, then."

lol what are you trying to prove

all im saying is i think kreayshawn is cool & 'gucci gucci' is a dope song & i dont get the hate. did JJ Fad deal with this nonsense?

probably

"hitler was totes adorable" is prob the best possible way to invoke godwin's law

i was at a party today and my kid was going to town on a chocolate cupcake, someone pointed out that he had a little chocolate hitler 'stache and i immediately started cleaning him up and going 'nobody take any photos, i am not letting this go viral'

Deej for one no one hates kreayshawn but you're just such a weirdo about her that it's kinda hard not to say she sucks

haha al

this thread always fills me with joy, for whatever that's worth

Deej for one no one hates kreayshawn but you're just such a weirdo about her that it's kinda hard not to say she sucks

>>>> joey badass

yeah i mean i have no real opinion on this little gremlin one way or the other but it's enjoyable to drop in every now and again and see how the captain save-a-kreay campaign is holding up.

it's interesting because i really can't even imagine any plausible scenario in which the world responds to kreayshawn in a way that deej is happy with. it was always gonna be either 'she doesn't get enough respect because she's popular' or 'she's not as popular as she deserves to be' or 'she's more popular than you realize because the metrics are wrong' etc etc.
