Finally Rich - Chief Keef

lol dayo, I had successfully resisted the impulse to reference that for so long

you are a better person than I

i never understood the controversy over vanilla ice sampling a song just like every single other rap song of the entire decade, i mean i get that he did credit queen or whatever but that was hardly uncommon either

vanilla opening for PE though, haha what a show!

"that little bitty change, it's not the same!" is one of my favorite phrases of all time, really don't use it enough

I think it was that A. it came at a time where sampling was still gaining acceptance and B. lol he tried to say the beat wasn't the same cuz of a 'ding' at the end

bingo

also some dude OTM, that is still hilarious

Have we reached the point of the thread where we can start posting random Vanilla Ice videos?

deej didn't you spend like 80 posts strenuously insisting that there are many differences, and not merely in the sound of the music, between Flockaveli and Finally Rich?

the cultural space a record takes up isn't the same as the sound of it ... thats' the point of both the comment & my own take on this

yeah but Waka says bow and Keef...don't

also keef has a pink backpack and waka is a clinically depressed rageaholic

lol you are the most disingenuous arguer ever

i was just playing along with nino, why's all the heat on me jeez

the cultural space a record takes up

archideej's principle

love caramanica on this. "there was a period time when there were 4 big rap blogs that were all named for cam'ron lyrics."

ahahaha

def lolled at that too

surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally

Wait so let me get this straight; dude has an Instagram account for pictures of his daughter, ergo that makes him the most publicly-devoted father in all of hip-hop?

I feel like the entire first half of this conversation is being held between two aliens

lol thats bdot tho

"It stinks."

omg b.dot is killing this, the conversation about "Citgo" is hilarious

"If I say Pig Latin on the record, on that same beat, does that make it hot?"

"But if you are in your mid-20s-"
"I am in my mid-20s."

"If I say Pig Latin on the record, on that same beat, does that make it hot?"

maybe!

"content director of rap radar" is the most hilarious shit i've ever heard

"If I say Pig Latin on the record, on that same beat, does that make it hot?"

ask missy elliott

#fremmeneppevenette

the idea that bdot is 'killing this' is hilarious

his entire argument is based on the idea that jordan was making out some hidden meaning to keef's lyrics which jordan never actually argues

i think jon makes a good argument although i'd make the argument that lyrically of COURSE keef's stuff is extremely literal in meaning, thats what makes it good lyrically. it's not trying to be 'deep' its just about what its about

http://karmajello.com/postcont/2012/09/you-want-it-one-way-marlo-the-wire.jpg

of course you think Jon is making a good argument, you like the album and have been bending over backwards to describe Keef as a formidable talent

B.Dot is arguing that, unlike practically every other person in hip-hop who has been celebrated as a formidable talent in the history of the genre, Keef's songs are illiterate bullshit, and claiming otherwise shows a disconnect in the values of what makes hip-hop great.

smh

or maybe acting as if those values are the only values by which hip hop can be measured a great are outdated

keef is not at all outside those values, though. we've been over this w/ how rappers rap before. people argued about it with too short
