rae sremmurd - sremmlife (6 jan 2015)

It's closer to a 50/50 split than in Tribe, but I think it's a fair analogy if you take the most generous read of it, which is to say the Slim Jimmy is an essential player. He lands a ton of great moments; Swae Lee probably lands just a handful more

Lately I've started thinking of this more as kind of like a Beastie Boys album, in that it makes me wish I still skateboarded. And I think a lot of that punk energy comes from Slim Jimmy

swae lee is gonna have a solo career very soon

hopefully not 'very' soon tbh

"Unlock the Swag" is so amazing

The mix of "No Flex Zone" on the album sounds completely puny compared to the one I've been bumping for months? :(

"Throw Sum Mo" does have a bit of a Weird Science vibe to it, it's true

it's the same mix of "no flex zone" as far as i can tell?

i wish there was an official version with all RS verses and nicki's verse, nice that her remix was made official but no one needs to hear pusha t on it

the mp3 I've had starts completely differently, and the levels and even some of the synth textures are quite noticeably different

mmm hmm

well, the official nicki/pusha remix has new RS verses: https://soundcloud.com/raesremmurd/rae-sremmurd-no-flex-zone-remix-featuring-nicki-minaj-pusha-t-prod-by-mike-will-made-it

and there's definitely a version that just tacks the nicki verse onto the original with RS's verses intact, because i've heard it on the radio a lot.

Kinda jarring to hear the HUAHs of the nae nae on My X

UNLOCK ☠ THE SWAG ☠ THE SWAG ☠ UNLOCK

this is pretty corny

best rap boy band since... odd future

theyre biters too

they do have good pop abilities tho, or whoever writes their songs

extremely strong think they cute vibes

prob prefer them to drake as far as turn up music for kids who have finished their homework tho

odd future werent any good at writing songs though

they are def biters but thats how the game goes

yeah i agree w that mostly just if you go too far over the biting/influenced line it gets kinda uncanny

also swaggy teachers pet is basically my irl nemesis personality type

love "come get her" - or it's been stuck in my head for two weeks now which is pretty much the same thing

interesting.

what

guess he never realised that's what the opposite of hater is

haters shall inherit the earth

academic paper on aspirational hater shaming

i feel like rae sremm are more akin to the jerk kids than odd future in terms of personality type, and much the better for it

yeah theyre not like exactly the same they just share an extreme unchill preening that todays pop music critical framework is incapable of engaging with

And the odd future comparison thing happened because... they're young?

see previous reply

yeah I'm still gonna need you to flesh it out a bit more before I'm capable of engaging with your post I'm afraid

oh well

need to know what lagoon thinks of

ha poor lil dude i hope he figures it all out

is that one of those hot cheetos and takis kids?

ha was wondering same

playing webster hall tonight with Just Blaze and DJ Soul

every generation gets the Kriss Kross it deserves apparently

ouch

was that supposed to be a diss

do you like kriss kross lex

of course

i mean not that i ever heard any of their other songs

just like jump or deep cuts too ha xp

not entirely a diss, I mean they had some good singles but were also obviously gimmicky w a short shelf life and omg cuet etc

whoah I had no idea Mac Daddy died last year :(

Does 'I Missed the Bus' count as a deep cut?
