rolling stupid fruity crazy swag thread

i was kinda u_u when the 33 1/3 proposal on drought 3 didn't get picked

souljaboy has been biting/collabing with lil b for a minute now, feel like this was discussed upthread?

t'was

kanye was called po-mo rap but mainly for singing badly on 808s, but when u hear the hookless early version of ilx thread trib "I'm So Appalled" u can kind of see a lineage to these guys more likely to be called "post-wayne" however dubiously

i dunno Kanye sold the POP ART thing w/ 808s a lot but that was probably his least po-mo album, it was all pretty much just garden variety myopic boo hoo breakup songs

i don't feel like lil b "knows about indie" btw, or that ppl think that's a plus, feel like he just uses things he finds like he used the "noodles, baby" video meme like the day it hit worldstarhiphop. think noz said they were listening to a portuguese film OST when he visited his crib, but it's not like oh he knows european classical if it turns up in a track as i'm sure it already has.

he sampled band of horses once

I'm with Al on this; there's a considerable difference between calling something post modern because you want to be taken seriously and actually being post modern. Lil Wayne post 2008 is pretty pomo.

he is like closure of the rap-->pitchfork->rap loop

KIDDING

idiot.

this is all the ship's fault for making like anyone thought an occasional indie sample was a big deal in itself.

or whoever made sure one of the first lil b youtubes that was posted said ELLIOTT SMITH in the title

anyway i'm not all "oh my god they have indie cooties" and get tired of people who are like that myself. i'm just saying samples like that are part of this guys I AM SO DIFFERENT, WE ARE NOT IDENTICAL I AM A JUPITERIAN thing.

do you think lil b enjoys making fun of insane clown posse?

what abt transcribing gucci lyrics?

also i wonder which side he would come down on in the whole yelawolf vs jacka debate

#based

i get that u don't care for the guy, but it takes some doing to turn what lil b does into a cynical schtick

tpp do u feel like this convo is already ridiculous or where are u coming from

i guess i'm just anticipating adding lil b to the list of rolling fruity swag butthurt vendettas 2010

but ftr i already said upthread that i dig lil b and i think he should be taken seriously

lil b actually is a jupiterian tho

champion some random rapper for being SO WEIRD and knowing about INDIE ROCK

i think 'so weird' + 'indie rock' are both red herrings here really. i guess the diy aesthetics thing is closer to whats interesting abt lil b but yeah it's not just a rapper discovering what indie bands did in the 80s is it? its' more how he has built a massive following of fans that are basically plugged into his stream of consciousness raps + performances that are mostly shit, often creepy + occasionally great.

ok we'll drop the indie thing but how does your last line there describing what he does not translate in any way to "so weird"

haha <3 sipster cuppies <3

ok yeah he is pretty weird xp

can't believe i just read this thread. only thing i came away with was wondering whether po-mo stands for post modern but not caring enough to go on urbandictionary

finally hearing this new gucci tape. 'antisocial' is my shit

it stands for "poor homo"

also 'shutterbug' is incredible

can't believe u dropped in just to say that a hoy hoy u douchebag

i'm listening to pavement RIGHT NOW

it feels so good to be back on the cutting edge of hip hop

these "jokes" aren't getting any less horribly formed.

btw m@t the nation of millions 33 1/3 shld be like catnip to u i think, check the 33 1/3 thread

ah yeah i should check this out, thx!

...sorry to ruin this awesome discussion :)

:P

I'm really wondering if it's Lil B that's familiar with indie acts like Band of Horses and Imogen Heap (maybe not indie but whatever) or it's just his producer who likes them, samples them, and is like, "Hey B, this is dope shit, rap over it!" Unless B produces his own shit, in which case, never mind...

i think b does his own beats pretty much exclusively -- can't imagine a producer would be able to keep up with him

That's a good point. And pretty cool.

Also, I'm listening to Snoop and Kid Cudi's "That Tree"... WTF this is hilarious and great.

saw the video, smh

Yeah it's retarded but it's fun. And the song is, too.

cudi is rapping like he thought his verse was gonna be autotuned later, but it's not...i never thought about how that could happen, but i guess if you're so used to it you start to tailor your lines to the autotune environment

it's a pretty good song, i must say -- cudi is such a bad, droney singer -- wish someone else was on that

But that's how Cudi raps. He has this weird sing-song flow all the time... Has any of his actual verses ever been Auto-Tuned?

But that's how Cudi raps

and therein lies the problem

Oh I don't disagree. I think it works sometimes, but it often doesn't. I kind of like his hooks, though.

Also, Mannie Fresh's "Like a Boss" is DEFINITELY going on my summer mix. House pianos, baby!

yeah, great song
