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.

his art has gone very much off the rails
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 is a dope track
― johnny crunch, Friday, 5 October 2012 23:14 (eleven years ago) link
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

Sounds as if he's starting to integrate the one into the other a bit more on this one, yeah. This is really good.

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.

Thanks, m@tt.
I think this may well be his best tape, btw. Its obviously too long and some of the songs are old but it works well overall.
