keef just sounds entirely offbeat in a bad way on that big lean track, esp compared to most of his tracks

it really sounds like an engineer issue (ie consistently off), otherwise i don't even know.

i feel like you're the only person who's really focused on the Big Lean song, most of what's been said about his verse there can be said of many of his songs

My dear young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect.

can we talk about how keef has 19 variations of "like i'm kobe"
http://rapgenius.com/Chief-keef-kobe-lyrics
but never once does a play on words about kobe beef

yeah but the whole song is kobe bryant references, not wordplay variations on the theme right?
― some dude, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 21:54 (eleven years ago) link
well yeah, but like you'd think since he'd wanna switch it up after the 20th time he said Kobe
― finally rich, fun-packed, fulfilling (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
I read verses like that and then I think of things like "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" and really I just wonder where it all went wrong (kind of want to blame Black Rob)

the hemiola thing reminds me of when NPR did a feature on the appoggiatura in Adele's "Someone Like You"

try to tap a hemiola w/ both your hands, it's p hard to get the timing right
― D-40, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:07 (eleven years ago) link
meaning, three even beats in the time the other hand does two even beats
― D-40, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
if you want a peek into the musical mind of Chief Keef try patting your head with one hand while rubbing your tummy with the other one

No it isn't! If you have problems with that type of basic rhythmic figure you may not have any business calling yourself a musician.
― GIMME SOME REGGAE (DJP), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:20 (eleven years ago) link
if you aren't a musician it kind of is, w/out practice! are you really tapping that three evenly? (fwiw this argument has nothing to do w/ keef at this point)
drummers learning to keep time w/ each hand independent is one of the big challenges of drumming iirc?

it's really easy if you just think in 6/8 time. right hand beats 1-3-5-, left hand beats 1--4-- xp
― hemioblock (The Reverend), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:29 (eleven years ago) link
it's hard for me to judge how difficult it is to learn to play the 3/2 rhythm because I've known how to play it for so long & it seems so natural to me, but really, it is one of the most basic rhythms used in music, and knowing how to play it is beginner-level stuff. it's not like playing 5 or 7.
xpost rev otm, it's just a simple division of 6 beats.
― Sri Harold Klemp (crüt), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:30 (eleven years ago) link
^^^^ this is exactly why the "it's different beats" argument makes no sense
