lot of 50's early mixtape songs were like that, feel like there's a long tradition of one-verse-between-two-choruses quickie rap songs like that.

yeah it didn't strike me as unusual
― J0rdan S., Friday, 6 July 2012 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
i mean it's slightly a new development for guys like him and lil b to shoot videos for one verse songs but that'll happen when you shoot that many videos i guess
― some dude, Friday, 6 July 2012 21:49 (eleven years ago) link
his lyrics are better when they make sense, he goes off the deep end w/ absurdity too often
so otm
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Friday, 6 July 2012 22:22 (eleven years ago) link
feeling him singing the hook tho. i just want riff raff to do classic swishahouse rap shit not this youtube bullshit but idk what can you do.
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Friday, 6 July 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
his best shit is stuff that sounds absurd but when you break it down you realize it makes beautiful sense
― ♆ (gr8080), Friday, 6 July 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
he can be great and totally absurd at the same time but he's usually best when he finds a balance

that's good!
haven't really approached either new album cuz they're odds & sods type stuff... but did get high quality/no-tag mp3s of "lil mama i'm sorry" & "we like to party"

the song that he starts singing at 3:00 here -- i'm assuming it's the forthcoming joint w/ snoop -- sounds amazing

dude is really good at writing sung hooks
Yea, his most successful recent songs have pretty much all had those half-sung sugary indulgent choruses. I think he's got a pretty good voice within the context of what he does.

anyone know if there is an ethos behind the cheap sound of these productions? i know it's subjective, but these days it's not that hard to make your shit sound like the big guys, or at least closer than these beats anyway. most of this stuff sounds like glossed up reason beats made in a few minutes
- and i like that, because it's refreshing after the last decade of ultra hifi hiphop.

yet he's still responsible for some of the best rap songs of this year *shrugs*
his pitchfork freestyle was really dope

Hmmm, apparently this happened outside Riff's Seattle show (which kind of sucks because the event was put on by this great non-profit org that provides a venue for all-ages shows. don't want this to impact them)

he dropped a verse on "lil mama i'm sorry" that's one of the best things ever
40 songs! I mean do they want us to listen to their music? Horrible id tagging and bit rates all over the place as well. Pedant alert.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 5 October 2012 22:35 (eleven years ago) link
it still blows me away how well riff raff sings the hook in that song and how great that melody line is

this tape is quite something. i mean 40 songs is complete insanity but every song has moments of incredible rapping, even if it's only a verse or half a verse.
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Friday, 5 October 2012 23:58 (eleven years ago) link
I'm a TKO Capone fan in general but I just wanted to say that I find his PSSSST! I DON'T REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS SORT OF MUSIC IT SUCKS BUT STUPIDITY SELLS SO HERE WE GO FOR NOW BUT ONCE PEOPLE LOOK AT ME FORREAL IMMA BE DROPPIN MULTIS steez really off-putting and offensive. I wish he would at least pretend to like what he's doing.
I haven't had the time to listen to this one yet though. I expect it to be good.
― Gelados n cream (longneck), Saturday, 6 October 2012 00:26 (eleven years ago) link
^^^i see this to an extent but it kinda creates a fun dynamic in a lot of his songs, where he'll get almost LYRICALLY LYRICAL in an old east-coast backpacker way and then flip into a less showy style within the same verse, i know he kinda has that aesthetic but i do think he fucks with both styles more than he lets on
― fadanuf4erybody, Saturday, 6 October 2012 01:37 (eleven years ago) link

well swagged out "like chief keef my trunk bang bang" raps don't really "sell" so i'm not sure that's the motivation
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 6 October 2012 20:22 (eleven years ago) link
Well, he kinda spells it out on Death Of Wack Rappers, which he has also been pushing as a kind of disclaimer in every youtube video he has uploaded yet. I think his analysis is wrong too, but that only makes it extra sad. That being said, the mix of lazy-comical ignorance and occasional rappity rapping does work surprisingly well musically.
And hey, racism isn't fun and neither is insinuating it. So stop it, please.
