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

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.

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

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.
― archer's goon (tpp), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
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"
― sipster cuppies (some dude), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 18:58 (fourteen years ago) link
haha <3 sipster cuppies <3

he sampled band of horses once

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...
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:01 (fourteen years ago) link
i think b does his own beats pretty much exclusively -- can't imagine a producer would be able to keep up with him
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:03 (fourteen years ago) link
That's a good point. And pretty cool.
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, I'm listening to Snoop and Kid Cudi's "That Tree"... WTF this is hilarious and great.
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:11 (fourteen years ago) link
saw the video, smh
― sipster cuppies (some dude), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah it's retarded but it's fun. And the song is, too.
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:15 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― m@tt (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:20 (fourteen years ago) link
it's a pretty good song, i must say -- cudi is such a bad, droney singer -- wish someone else was on that
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
But that's how Cudi raps
and therein lies the problem
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh I don't disagree. I think it works sometimes, but it often doesn't. I kind of like his hooks, though.
― rennavate, Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, Mannie Fresh's "Like a Boss" is DEFINITELY going on my summer mix. House pianos, baby!

yeah, great song

New Chuckie Hamilton... Cars sampling... and, not half bad! Maybe I'm just in a good mood.

i guess not? i'm not an expert on Cudi...was just saying that I think he's like unconsciously picking up phrasing that is a result of auto-tune stuff and then NOT autotuning it, like maybe he just gets it from listening to kanye or wayne or drake or whoever....just a little weird structural thing, like i can HEAR those lines being autotuned
― m@tt (M@tt He1ges0n), Tuesday, 13 April 2010 21:42 (fourteen years ago) link
is the chick that punched charles hamilton ever going to release an album?
