GOON POLL: Riff Raff vs. TKO Capone

btw no one's gonna mention the TORI AMOS COVER on this mixtape??

he dropped a verse on "lil mama i'm sorry" that's one of the best things ever

this is a dope track

this tape is quite something. i mean 40 songs is complete insanity but every song has moments of incredible rapping, even if it's only a verse or half a verse.

I'm a TKO Capone fan in general but I just wanted to say that I find his PSSSST! I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS SORT OF MUSIC IT SUCKS BUT STUPIDITY SELLS SO HERE WE GO FOR NOW BUT ONCE PEOPLE LOOK AT ME FORREAL IMMA BE DROPPIN MULTIS steez really off-putting and offensive. I wish he would at least pretend to like what he's doing.

I haven't had the time to listen to this one yet though. I expect it to be good.

^^^i see this to an extent but it kinda creates a fun dynamic in a lot of his songs, where he'll get almost LYRICALLY LYRICAL in an old east-coast backpacker way and then flip into a less showy style within the same verse, i know he kinda has that aesthetic but i do think he fucks with both styles more than he lets on

Love Riff's sung chorus on the crystal castles sampling 'don't wait on me'

Sounds as if he's starting to integrate the one into the other a bit more on this one, yeah. This is really good.

Yeah, real offensive, so...uppity if you ask me

well swagged out "like chief keef my trunk bang bang" raps don't really "sell" so i'm not sure that's the motivation

Well, he kinda spells it out on Death Of Wack Rappers, which he has also been pushing as a kind of disclaimer in every youtube video he has uploaded yet. I think his analysis is wrong too, but that only makes it extra sad. That being said, the mix of lazy-comical ignorance and occasional rappity rapping does work surprisingly well musically.

And hey, racism isn't fun and neither is insinuating it. So stop it, please.

yeah m@tt that post was kinda fucked up

Sorry, retracted

That was not right of me longneck

Thanks, m@tt.

I think this may well be his best tape, btw. Its obviously too long and some of the songs are old but it works well overall.

Re this: is it fair to think of Riff Raff as part of, or even the centre of, 'Weird Twitter'?

for discussion on "weird twitter," please dial OK, which one of you is @BARTSIMSON_REAL?

Who's RiFF RAFF'S pr person? genuine question.

three loco: still dope

ehh

he's on the cover of dazed. i've stopped giving a fuck rilly

Perhaps. But I'm still loving this new tape.

haven't had time to listen to this but dame grease!! that's pretty major at least on paper

i'm still holding out for an andy milonakis/d-dot collab

Don't. This one is really good. Way better than the Three Loco.

riff raff taking max b's place as dame grease's rapper of choice is like a hip-hop rickroll

maybe diplo can take some max b a cappellas and work his magic

Fear of the hipster hat.

Tiger Bear Gargoyle!!!

riff raff on the front of dazed = my year made

thoughts on this? seems to be getting quite a bit of attention, but the production isn't wowing me on first listen. (love that sassoon is credited for "hair" btw)

It's... good. But it feels a little one dimensional after the Hologram Panda album (which is GREAT). As if he's going through the motions.

Got tickets to see this dude tonight.

Riff raff?

his show was pretty good when i saw him in dec.

Yup, I'm psyched, but expecting to be let down. It's also the Amsterdam show, they tend to be "special" performances no matter who's playing.

Ok, at the show. Definitely not sold out. Opening act, Dutch hip-hop. Have a feeling most of the people are here for these guys.

"damn son where'd you find this" sample drops in the middle of the Dutch rap set. #cognitivedissonance

One of the few recognizable English lyrics - "candy bitches all up on my dick".

Apparently they are the Hydro Boys. People are into them here. The main takeaway is that Dutch rap SHITS ALL OVER Australian rap FROM A GREAT FUCKING HEIGHT.

We are the only white English speakers in the building. Maybe the only ones here for Maneer Riff Raff?

Onto the main act, DJ reminding me how nothing beats a club soundsystem for hip-hop...

Not Riff Raff yet, something called Mr Polska, feeling really out of my element, no English, dubsteppy.

Lyrics: "tutti-frutti arty-farty". People sing along.

Gabba #itwasamatteroftime

Wondering which one is the Mr Polska, thinking short bad shave.

Riff Raff time. Mr Polska has left the building trailing Drakkar Noir and the finest Dutch chronic.
