Finally Rich - Chief Keef

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

WHICH IS WHY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS

...AT THE SAME DAMN TIME

lmao

most delayed pay-off to a thread ever

Damn we are setting the bar high this year

I'm pretty sure deej has referred to three separate pairs of ideas as "two different things" itt, rhetorical hemiola y'all

it's funny how this "this is technically terrible wtf!" vs. "you just don't get it maaaaaan" argument never gets old

these bitches love hemiola

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.

lol number none

lol mookie

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?

well yeah, but like you'd think since he'd wanna switch it up after the 20th time he said Kobe

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)

whiney did u just actually cite rapgenius

lol, i was hoping ppl would click on some of the great explanations

Omg that tip is super pro

(kind of want to blame Black Rob)

fuck you "whoa" is a classic

yeah wth

haha i was going through some of the rap EOY lists and was v surprised to find black rob there (and it was decent too)

why would you want keef to make a kobe beef pun?

next time i have a job i'm gonna say i'm sick with hemiola and see whether anyone bothers to look it up

ahahahahahahaha

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

meaning, three even beats in the time the other hand does two even beats

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

my flow sick, call it hemiola

try tapping two beats for each HAWHAWHAW while you yuk it up

;]

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.

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?

this sounds dope imo

it's really easy if you just think in 6/8 time. right hand beats 1-3-5-, left hand beats 1--4-- xp

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.

^^^^ this is exactly why the "it's different beats" argument makes no sense

dude i never claimed it was 'complex'

pol·y·rhythm A rhythm that makes use of two or more different rhythms at once.

you are arguing with the wrong people

why are we talking about hemiolas again? i've never heard keef use one.

btw i'm white a jazz drummer

deej we're not saying chief keef is a rudimentary rapper

that would imply he has all the rudiments down

some dude just made my wife lol in the airport

lol sd

congrats on finally making an honest woman out of strongo, DJP

we are registered at Fuddrucker's

i was trying to get across that we were talking abt the actual placement on the beat of his words rather than whether he's behind the beat or ahead or sloppy or w/e

can you tell what he's doing rhythmically on the big lean song? my initial guess was that either 1) engineer laid the verse down early, or 2) he entered unexpectedly early on purpose

3) he's a shitty rapper
