Finally Rich - Chief Keef

lol

...

is "i got cash" new?

was in South Carolina over the weekend and heard the local rap station's countdown, "Love Sosa" was #1, like, now, in April, over much more 'current'/higher charting songs like "Started From The Bottom" and "Show Out" etc. pretty surprising, guess that song has legs on a regional level.

i'm curious to see if he goes completely down the rabbit hole and moves into completely abstract sound. it seems like the logical next step.

What's the over/under on the first ILXor to call him "outsider art" or "performance art"

what time does D-40 normally wake up on a Sunday

thanks Whiney, now I want to hear him duet with Farrah Abraham

the fuck?

As I said on the other thread I don't think this stuff is that good. Sounds like he's hitting the codeine too hard.

as is this:

but yeah ive never gone for the 'outsider art' thing, pretty sure the last time i heard that used to defend a rap artist it was one of whiney's freelance employees defending gucci mane

keef's put out a number of good songs this year, just needs to put a tape out

i liked the stuff right after he got out, macaroni time & etc. I don't like the shit that sounds like its verging on lil b levels of purposelessness

yeah some of it like "round da rosey" or whatever is just not very good

the songs I've heard from Keef this year are "Macaroni Time," "Ring Around The Rosey" and "April Fools"...if anything he's regressing to early childhood.

this is also big rn

the double tracked vocals on macaroni time are incredibleeee

the two new ones are pretty cool too imo

the fuck?

getting to the bottom of this

haha i think it's funny that you still have this theory since his, ahem, timing is similar on a lot of tracks, especially the new stuff

still curious what that next level would consist of or if it's just "an approach to rhythm we can't really understand as having to do with our conceptions of what rhythm is"

you still don't understand what i'm talking about, just fyi

there's a particular flow he does on that track that doesnt happen on ... any of his other songs

it's interesting that that trailer for a slick-looking "Citgo" video with Interscope logos all over it just showed up. you think that was just in the can for a long time or that they smell a hit and are still trying to do something with that album?

i don't think that song is a real world hit as much as an internet/critical hit. i know for a fact the video was just shot though—the guy who shot it manages yung gleesh and they were just in chicago a couple weeks ago

i did wonder about why that particular one went through the label whereas half keef's videos seem very evidently handled by keef & the videographer directly.

he is apparently dropping 'bang 2' in a couple days though

there is def an impetus for keef to hit the 250k mark by december though, i guess theres something in his contract where interscope could withhold releasing more albums if he doesnt hit that mark. i don't see why they would do that though, even if he didnt

they would def need another mini-hit for him to hit 250k by the end of the year

https://twitter.com/chartnews/status/355166634106826752

"macaroni time" might be his third biggest song ever... maybe fourth if you wanna include "bang"

Prez ‏@PrezidentYoung 10 Jul
He gotta clear 250k for him to keep the deal RT @chartnews US album sales @ChiefKeef, Finally Rich 1,819 (187,927 total)

ppl keep saying this but its not correct ... its that interscope has the option to hold up the release of a sophomore album.

btw the big lean / keef song in question has nearly a million views o_O

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4jAa5Za-nQ

i imagine they'd keep him around even so for a second album since his music seems fairly inexpensive to make and he still does well virally without any traditional promotion

that said if they push a few singles and they don't really pop he could end up in one of those hellish deals

all we need now is a medium lean

lots rappers have gone GOLD and still get their follow-up album held up for so long that they inevitably give up and ask out of their contract or seem happy to get dropped, so it's not like anything's guaranteed either way. Keef doing all these songs/videos on his own and aligning with Gucci who hasn't seemed to even try to do anything with a major in years certainly indicates that he's not holding his breath for A&Rs to greenlight a 2nd album, which is why the "Citgo" thing surprised me.

250 is the new gold
