Finally Rich - Chief Keef

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

how do you even start justifying it?!

I didn't mind "Black and Yellow" and it sort of reminded me of my father-in-law, who is a massive Steelers fan

no i mean ren's friend

"black & yellow" is great, wiz is...not

i like "roll up"

i mean i get the wiz dislike but i unabashedly love taylor allderdice

btw did people get far enough into the Derogatis review to notice that he interprets "I'm laughing at these lames like..." as "I'm laughing at the slave's life..."?

you've heard a few of his songs, right? is that micro ahead of the beat thing a constant, or is that something applicable here only? i def get the feeling like he's either ahead or behind of the beat pretty regularly, like he's laying in some kind of weird pocket that makes it feel 'off'

yeah, he's usually not in the pocket in the traditional sense and almost always rushes/falls ahead of the beat. but it's within a certain threshold where you can still call it 'feel' and it sounds cool, or at least creates an effect. the vocal on the big lean track is just on another planet though, rhythmically speaking.

I wanted to like Wiz Khalifa because I like the name "Wiz Khalifa"

Wiz has a great flow and I like his basic slacker persona. But he has been struggling throughout 2012, partly because the reception of his debut album seems to have confused him and partly because his already narrow range of subject matter has become even narrower after he got a girlfriend. But most of his projects are at least decent.

imo wiz khalifa needs to write more extensively about marijuana use
