tumblr rapper kitty pryde

max, it was still 300 words in the NYT. most of those words aren't very good or informative, but still, that's a decent amount of exposure in the paper of record

i like caramanica but then again i like, sort of, PRR

i could never zing him as effectively as this

i'm sort of nostalgic for the old days of this thread, when everyone was on fire with the passionate fragrance of youth

300 words in the NYT vs 700 posts on ILM

ilx raison d'être is to discuss inane shit tho

well, maybe the NYT's too

Idk al I think theres a diff between me interviewing an artist who did a song I like for a personal website vs an nyt article

i didn't realize the caramanica nyt thing was being held up as the main crime instead of however many other lower level outlets have also been covering nyt. so the problem is kreayshawn took x months to get thinkpieces in a bunch of big papers where KP took x days? things are moving faster all the time, my friend.

'have also been covering KP,' i meant to say

when KP racks up 30mill views lmk

or even gets played on radio

she's a sucker but she pulls it off. this song is a jealous number. you made it for me, which is a nice gesture sweetheart. you do look like an angel. and anything you say could break an eardrum, and guess what i blasted it and shattered it and blew it back in your face like sand from a looking glass in a way that looks like i blew a kiss. she knows how to deal a low blow, but can't hack it with the cards she doesn't stack. you should all ask yourselves how she knows me. she is still bitter

175k views in 6 days on "OK Cupid" btw fwiw. It has been weird to me for over 20 years now how rap fans dwell on how popular something is or isn't, completely do not get that at all - who gives a shit imo - I mean, I know, as an indie fucker I would say that, but seriously how is anybody whose wallet isn't directly affected by sales even remotely interested in YouTube views or not? whether something is worth discussing or not is proven or disproven by whether people have discussions about it, heavy qed shit here, if the Times publishes a story on something people don't actually care about (which happens all the time) it doesn't miraculously enter the people-are-talking cycle, it just goes away

really i think everyone's entitled to make fun of 4th rate white girl rappers and the bloggers who hype them up, but the guy who hyped up a 3rd rate white girl rapper has to take his lumps before he can act all high and mighty

suggesting kreayshawn is only one 'rate' above kitty pryde is nagl. gucci gucci was a dope song & it appealed to ppl who like just u know pop music. to me, the shit that makes kitty pryde 'notable' is pretty boring & in no way newsworthy.

im not suggesting something has to be popular for me to like it, but im tired of 'appealing to a certain crowd of post collegiate 20somethings looking for ''innovation'' narrowly defined in cloud rap / chillwave terms' as being such a driving cultural force & am more interested in hearing stories about ppl who aren't so over-covered as is

does that mean kitty pryde is 5th rate

jesus christ, al.

idg what i did wrong interviewing for my own website an artist who made a song i thought was dope. 'hyping up,' seriously?

hierarchy of white girl rappers

karmin < kitty pryde < kreayshawn < kesha

hey what's with all the k's?!?!?!

k flay

:-O

K K K

:-O

i guess i'll never understand you dudes since i basically use ILX to distract me from my day job, not endlessly discuss it

kyriarchy

A+

can we sell this thread as a thinkpiece

actually in the process of writing a piece for Noisey on her. LOL!

i totally share your basic philosophy here, to be clear, i'm just going hard on you because, y'know, that's what they call me, ol' "ship1ey gohard."

i think you are kind of throwing things on different sides of the fence whenever it suits you, though. one day kitty pryde is owl city and we should just let her be popular without talking about her, the next she's just a niche internerd thing. one day kitty pryde's problem is she appeals to people who don't really like rap, the next day kreayshawn's virtue is that she appeals to people who like pop.

agree

also i hope you realize '[having a negative opinion of kreayshawn] is nagl' is basically the language of the worst kind of comments box stan who is always SO EMBARRASSED FOR YOU that you're not backing the winning team and are about to be proven SO WRONG

hey what's with all the k's?!?!?!

maybe ask juicee Kouture

it's a konspiracy

i always thought it was weird how lil "kim" spells her name with a k

jeez dudes settle down

maybe i'm not in very good control of my tone itt because in my mind i'm gently elbowing deej in the ribs and everyone keeps acting like i punched him in the gut

yeah i dunno, you guys seem to beef so easily! especially for 2 ppl that have, in the larger scheme of things, such similar tastes!

deej, like lex, often defends his taste so badly it almost makes me wish i didn't like so many of the same things

"beef so easily" sounds like off-brand hamburger helper

hahaha

beef gohard

well now fluxblog has weighed in

at how much?

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

well, isnt fundamentally this whats weird about the press around it is that its like jumping on an owl city for being excellent when in pt of fact owl city is lame & critically ignored, which i am fine with, but in this case theres this veneer of confusing respectability

kreayshawn's virtue is that she appeals to people who like pop & people who like rap, shes a pop-rap artist, kitty pryde is neither of those things

(but even if kitty pryde were popular, which is still possible, its not worth discussing anyway)

nb all i'm asking for is critical discourse that ignores her, i recognize this isn't actually a tenable position when there ppl out there writing about her that inexplicably like her for some reason

nothing about this is like owl city in any way, let's drop that analogy

who are these rap heads that are into kreayshawn, besides you and j0rdan

nothing like posting over and over again on an artist's thread to make sure that the critical discourse ignores them

lol seriously

lol

lots of chicks who dig rap like "gucci gucci" ime
