(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 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..."?
― JoeStork, Thursday, 3 January 2013 19:21 (eleven years ago) link
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'
― D-40, Wednesday, January 2, 2013 6:55 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
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"
― too many encores (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Friday, 4 January 2013 00:16 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― dyslectic Christ Brown (longneck), Friday, 4 January 2013 00:21 (eleven years ago) link
imo wiz khalifa needs to write more extensively about marijuana use
― Mordy, Friday, 4 January 2013 00:28 (eleven years ago) link
one of the most interesting flows on finally rich for me is "no tomorrow," where during the verses keef starts his bars before the 1 and finishes before the 2 hits and his next bar before the 3 starts and finishes before the 4 hits... really odd pocket he's in, makes it feel like he can't get his lines out fast enough, there's quite literally "no tomorrow" for him, he's gotta get his raps out asap fuck a beat
out of idle curiosity I decided to listen to this track and I don't hear anything rhythmically interesting or new about this at all; he is completely on the beat the entire time and basically doing a stupid version of something Q-Tip did about 70% of the time, only Tip managed to do so without endlessly rhyming the same word with itself.
