Nice. There are also Swae Lee and Slim Jimmy solo singles out today.

powerglide is a 'side 2 side' remake
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 1 March 2018 09:06 (six years ago) link
Yeah, hence the Juicy J appearance I guess. That's three minutes of Swae Lee before anyone else is called to the table, though.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Thursday, 1 March 2018 09:19 (six years ago) link
i wouldn't exactly say it's a side 2 side remake. i really like it tho juicy's verse is def superfluous
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 March 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
How do you guys feel about the two solo tracks though? I must admit that I prefer the two (three, if we’re counting Pegasus) group tracks so far.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:02 (six years ago) link
swae's track is nice but it doesn't strike me as a hit... not sure i ever needed a slim jim solo track tho
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 March 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link
I think Swae's track is glorious

Jimmi is very much becoming the Big Boi to Swae's Andre 3000, the solid and maybe even underrated rapper eclipsed by his more interesting, creatively daring counterpart. His third of the record is obviously the one everybody's least excited about but I could see it being a sleeper.
We're so lucky to have these guys.

the beat is a 95% rip. he uses the same melodies in his vox on the hook too. i like it too tho
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 1 March 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link

uh let's relax here...
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 March 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
to me swae uses one bit of the melody from the side 2 side chorus to go to a completely different place... it feels more like genuine/inspiration artistry to me than pure "remake" especially when compared to that asap ferg song and whatever else
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 1 March 2018 21:21 (six years ago) link
for some reason people put on their label a&r hats and decided swae lee had unique solo potential that slim jxmmi would never have even when they only had one song out. at least he had the best verse on "black beatles" i guess.
― dyl, Friday, 2 March 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
yes "for some reason"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 2 March 2018 18:04 (six years ago) link
'he had the best verse...' was referring to slim jxmmi since that wasn't clear
anyway "hurt to look" is the clear standout among this recent batch
― dyl, Friday, 2 March 2018 18:07 (six years ago) link
yes, this reason, it is a mystery to me
― belcalis almanzar (||||||||), Friday, 2 March 2018 19:14 (six years ago) link
I like jxmmi tho. they did a cool freestyle on radio that was going round last (?) year and jxmmi crushes it
― belcalis almanzar (||||||||), Friday, 2 March 2018 19:15 (six years ago) link
He also did a Gucci track on Mr. Davis w/o Swae Lee and absolutely crushed it
― Evan R, Friday, 2 March 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link
sorry if swae lee's unique star quality wasn't so clear to me when only "no flex zone" was out, anyone flippantly commenting care to elaborate on what jumped out at you at that time?
― dyl, Friday, 2 March 2018 19:48 (six years ago) link
damn im already tired of powerglide.

this is straight up challops
― loud horn beeping jazzsplaining arse (dog latin), Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:20 (six years ago) link
Idk why it’s so controversial itt that swae is a more natural breakout star: he’s better looking (seems weird to say that but it’s true and matters); he does the sing-rap post drake thing (sorry for crudeness of that description) and he seems more chilll and confident, whereas jim is more drugged out /manic and channels the bratty element of their sound more. This isn’t to say swae is better per se just better adapted to the current rap ecosystem. I love Jxmmi on their second lp especially, he sounds super hungry
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Thursday, 15 March 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
he also sings the hook on every one of their hits and wrote one of the biggest songs of last year
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 March 2018 21:36 (six years ago) link
co-wrote Formation too. He's been the chosen one since the beginning
― Number None, Thursday, 15 March 2018 21:53 (six years ago) link
do ppl not like "hurt to look"? like i would agree with the assessment above that it will probably not be a hit but i really like it much more than the other recent releases
― dyl, Thursday, 15 March 2018 22:38 (six years ago) link
to be fair I'll give it another chance, just not my thing maybe
― loud horn beeping jazzsplaining arse (dog latin), Friday, 16 March 2018 00:05 (six years ago) link
i wanted to like "hurt to look" but it only has one melodic idea. i can vibe w/ it because it's very vibey but i rate it well below "sativa" as far as swae R&B goes

maybe they'll play "Hurts to Look" during montages of the Celtics on offense instead.

'Slime green paint, peanut butter inside' - Powerglide definitely one of my pop songs of the year
― loud horn beeping jazzsplaining arse (dog latin), Tuesday, 10 April 2018 19:57 (six years ago) link
Swae's "Guatemala" is a pretty forgettable "Unforgettable" rip. But still loving the flood of new material from these guys. Triple-album rollouts are fun
