Finally Rich - Chief Keef

semi grim lols that this has popped up in a bunch of my media outlets EXCEPT for Pitchfork

@al_25_: Chief Keef gunna have to make songs like Drake now that he cried in court

dnainfo trynna ether is career lol

what is "dnainfo"?

local news blog. they have one in NYC too

jesus christ crying is a perfectly acceptable reaction to hearing that news

people gotta stop shaming dudes for crying that shit's lame

Dude would shame himself for crying if he weren't the one crying, though.

I think I saw an afterschool special about this once

i wanna apologize for upthread when i said this album is on par with the Travis Porter LP. the Travis Porter album is way way better.

i lol'd

i feel like deej or j0rdan might think i'm hating on Finally Rich to spite them or something but i really wouldn't have listened to it so much if i wasn't trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and hear what they hear in it, and it just sounds worse every time i put it on.

yeah but you don't like keef's vocal style -- if u've decided he's a priori wack then only the Hits are going to possibly connect w/ you and then inconsistently

don't think you're using 'a priori' right there

see i keep expecting to either get used to the vocals or focus more on the production, but neither seems to improve with repeat listens. beats/hooks just ain't strong enough imo.

lol i think i started singing "love sosa" in a dream i had last night

last time this happened it was a katy b song

"love sosa" isn't too far off of katy b as a rap song

beats/hooks just ain't strong enough imo.

idk i dont get this at all

xp how?

"Love Sosa" is such a drab, loathsome song. keep hearing about his inspiring rags-to-riches story and how celebratory the album is and then i hear this asshole chanting "god y'all some broke boys."

oh no, not a rapper taunting others for being broke

the sentiment's not rare sure but that phrase just rings in my head as a total nadir of the whole phenomenon

i dont get why keef does all the shit other rappers do but for him it sets everyone against him

"OMG a rapper called them broke, how mean!"

no one calls slick rick an asshole for stunting in gold necklaces like wtf

maybe it's the vampire accent that makes it seem especially villainous

lol deej slick rick is an amazing storyteller. people only say "who gives a shit about (how broke your rivals are, how much product you moved, how many people you shot)" when the person telling the story seems incapable of telling the story in an interesting or compelling or even mildly diverting way. you know, like chief keef.

can we nip this Slick Rick digression in the bud right now, I don't need a mental image of Chief Keef hollering his way through three bars of "Children's Story"

so once again the argument falls to ... you don't like the music. nothing to do w/ his perceived moral failings

OMG MOP are so mean for sticking people up!

GAWD Y'ALL SOME BLOKE BOYS

(please carry on, gentlemen)

deej why do you think people have a different reaction to this than Slick Rick/MOP/whomever? apart from "a priori" prejudice

so once again the argument falls to ... you don't like the music.

I am not sure anyone is trying to make an argument deeper than "this music is as close to objectively terrible as you can get" so I don't think that is as much of an "GOTCHA" summation as you are trying to make it out to be

'objectively terrible' is a bullshit phrase dan, come on

I don't like the music, but I don't like him either. I find nothing compelling or likeable about him. Slick Rick otoh...

haha THAT'S your takeaway from that post? are you fucking kidding me

do you care if he taunts broke enemies

is it that offensive that DJP, some dude, and aero don't like this dude? I mean I completely disagree w/ them on Rick Ross, but based on what I've heard of Keef, I agree. Yeah, they might be arguing a little 'harshly' about it, but I know of one person itt who does that regularly.

making an argument that your POV is 'close to objectively true' is fucking stupid, sorry

it's also trolling, but let's continue this

don't feel that they're trolling at all, unless "not liking" something constitutes trolling. This isn't a Chief Keef "best track" poll or something where it is geared towards fans only.

n/m I see you were replying to deej

they are like a good cop bad cop tag-team of earnestness->disengenuousness arguing on bad faith

ha

I really don't think I'm the fucking stupid one here, considering that everyone on this board believes that opinions are subjective and therefore "objectively terrible" is a unicorn. I wrote a strongly held subjective opinion and you are reacting to it as if an objective one could actually exist, which makes me think that one of the reasons you find Chief Keef so enthralling is a total inability to deduce nuance.
