Finally Rich - Chief Keef

like, i'm completely aware of the thin line b/w fucking w/ dope pop music & becoming part of the cassie fan club & have said over & over this isn't some kind of big complex thing, he's just doing something fresh w/ his delivery (unless it was an engineering error & he was placed on the wrong part of the beat). Speaking of the macro rhythm of that particular example

i haven't really said much about (and have more or less agreed with you, although it doesn't bother me the way it does you) assessment of keef having an off-beat flow.

has it ever occurred to you guys that a) some rappers' lyrics aren't really flattered by being typed up or read and b) gucci is one such rapper?

is that supposed to be a 'lol how things have changed' thing or what

^^^doesnt see the frozen crystals when he hits the cigarillo

Baking soda, 'iola whipping

cool beans, using music theory to differentiate between a flow being off & placement of words on the beat has somehow magically become about how i think keef is a genius doing rhythmic summersaults over his inspirations.

whatever makes u lol

you're the one throwing around words like "masterful" dog, people here are generally using the terms you introduced to the convo much more than they're putting words in your mouth

and for the record i never hated on gucci when he was in his prime (as exemplified by you delivering that when trying to find proof that i did) and i still believe that not all good rappers' lyrics look great typed out and that that includes him

gucci's a good counterpoint to keef though in that he's thought off as this mushmouthed dude who's always high but he's just relentlessly on point with the beat

thought off = thought of

thats crazy gucci is behind the beat all the TIME. his shit is super sluggish

he stretches words out but the consonants usually land on the drums

although i'm talking about the more upbeat zaytoven era stuff, maybe that's changed more with all those more slow paced later tapes that i listen to twice and then forget about

"you're the one throwing around words like "masterful" dog"

again, w/ regards to the rhythmic choices he makes on 1 partic. example, not where he locates (or doesnt?) the pocket in his rapping

how many times do u want to go over this?

man I have been responsible for a good display name or two but you better give me my propers for "rap steve gadd" mr deej

I'm listening to the legit masterful rhythms of a teenaged LL Cool J right now and laughing like a cank like HAWHAWHAW

Hearing that over "Backstreet Freestyle"

Argh "Backseat Freestyle". crappy joke ruined.

no diggity

"backstreet freestyle" > "backseat freestyle"

nick carter had a dreeeeam

Lets just make this the rolling goon thread

rolling off that poly(rhythm)

"blackstreet frestyle" >

rolling al hemiola thread

rolling poly ratchet thread

holy fuck strongo A+

^^^^

rolling off a mollya

rolling to the bank like hawhawhaw

I am attempting to listen to this album right now on Spotify

I will spare you all the pvmic liveblogging

feel like the odds of dan liking this album are p long

I am not sure I'm gonna make it past track 4

you must, for our entertainment

i wanted a track-by-track :(

stuck between following this thread or the Angel Haze-Azealia Banks twitter beatdown #decisions

I am on track 5

I currently feel like someone has repeatedly been shitting in my ears

hahahaha I was sitting here going "oh he's a little more coherent and less dumb, what's going on WAIT THIS IS 50 CENT"

stealing this from someone else's twitter but 50's verse makes me want a tamale

did he just say "every day I smell like farts"

(on track 6, not that it really matters because the overall impression given by the production job/sound palette on this album is that every single song is the same)

(except for track 7 which still sounds like an ICP outtake)

btw dan did you know that on wiz khalifa says "i'm the shit, literally" on his album? dumbest rap line i've heard maybe ever

hahahahahahahaha oh man

(except for track 7 which still sounds like an ICP outtake)

someone was trying to justify that line to me a month ago. there is no justifying that line.

part of me has been trying to give Wiz Khalifa a pass for a while now but that may be over now
