Trippie redd tape was mega underwhelming imo
Not gonna write him off just felt rushed

really? i didn't think it was as good as the first one, but it wasn't that big a drop-off
― bodak horseman (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 24 October 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
i felt like the songwriting was a lot more hurried
but it also might have been unfairly contrasting w/ my new fav rapper 03 greedo whose melodic choices tend to make these younger kids seem like they're finger painting

Am I the only one who thinks the Offset / 21 Savage / Metro Boomin record is absolutely amazing? I mean, Culture is my favorite rap-record of the year, so I was predisposed to like it, but it's really really great, no?

i find him unlistenable. im convinced hed be nowhere near as famous if his name wasnt 'lil wop' in the era of GUCCI MANE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTIST WHO HAS EVER LIVED
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 1 December 2017 18:35 (six years ago) link
Nah, his Gucci fandom is the least interesting thing about him. He gives lip service to Gucci, but his sound owes more to Keef. Both of those things are kinda boring on their own, but I love the tape's mashup of slasher films and sugary breakfast cereal.
Also helps that he uses his own stable of producers, rather than just tapping the same old 1017 standbys. Gucci's never made a tape that sounds anything like this
― Evan R, Friday, 1 December 2017 18:42 (six years ago) link
i dunno, most of his records so far i find aggressively unlikeable
lets talk about how this is the best chief keef record of the year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD3LvBIOsKI
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 1 December 2017 20:53 (six years ago) link
I haven't kept up with them all but that whole tape sounds like his best start-to-finish project in years to me. The mix is interesting... all these songs, like "Less Speed," that might have been played for maximum volume a few years ago, sound slightly cushioned, like it was mastered with headphones in mind
― Evan R, Friday, 1 December 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link
it doesn't feel like his 'best project in years' to me in the sense that his catalog has always sort of exceeded the bounds of his projects, and capturing just one project feels like you're only look at one facet of what he does--like, to say this best represents him when there's zero melodic records on it feels wrong. I will say that this, like Thot Breaker, feels like one of his best-packaged efforts, and is definitely more well sequenced than the unfortunate Bang 3 releases, which were kind of botched even though the have some classic records on them (ie "laurel canyon")
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 1 December 2017 22:41 (six years ago) link
I knew from the singles that this keef would not be for me. I enjoyed Thot Breaker a lot, and I was into Nobody 2 and quite a few Bang 3 tracks were great too despite being patchy on the whole. I'd love to see him put something together that was full of tracks like No and Tats. Still, for me, he's been the most consistently interesting and innovative rapper around for the last 3 years.
