like, i'm completely aware of the thin line b/w fucking w/ dope pop music & becoming part of the cassie fan club & have said over & over this isn't some kind of big complex thing, he's just doing something fresh w/ his delivery (unless it was an engineering error & he was placed on the wrong part of the beat). Speaking of the macro rhythm of that particular example
i haven't really said much about (and have more or less agreed with you, although it doesn't bother me the way it does you) assessment of keef having an off-beat flow.

has it ever occurred to you guys that a) some rappers' lyrics aren't really flattered by being typed up or read and b) gucci is one such rapper?

cool beans, using music theory to differentiate between a flow being off & placement of words on the beat has somehow magically become about how i think keef is a genius doing rhythmic summersaults over his inspirations.
whatever makes u lol
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:39 (eleven years ago) link
you're the one throwing around words like "masterful" dog, people here are generally using the terms you introduced to the convo much more than they're putting words in your mouth
and for the record i never hated on gucci when he was in his prime (as exemplified by you delivering that when trying to find proof that i did) and i still believe that not all good rappers' lyrics look great typed out and that that includes him
― some dude, Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:48 (eleven years ago) link
gucci's a good counterpoint to keef though in that he's thought off as this mushmouthed dude who's always high but he's just relentlessly on point with the beat
― some dude, Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:50 (eleven years ago) link
thought off = thought of
thats crazy gucci is behind the beat all the TIME. his shit is super sluggish
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:53 (eleven years ago) link
he stretches words out but the consonants usually land on the drums
― some dude, Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:54 (eleven years ago) link
although i'm talking about the more upbeat zaytoven era stuff, maybe that's changed more with all those more slow paced later tapes that i listen to twice and then forget about
― some dude, Thursday, 3 January 2013 01:56 (eleven years ago) link
"you're the one throwing around words like "masterful" dog"
again, w/ regards to the rhythmic choices he makes on 1 partic. example, not where he locates (or doesnt?) the pocket in his rapping
how many times do u want to go over this?

I currently feel like someone has repeatedly been shitting in my ears
hahahaha I was sitting here going "oh he's a little more coherent and less dumb, what's going on WAIT THIS IS 50 CENT"

did he just say "every day I smell like farts"

(on track 6, not that it really matters because the overall impression given by the production job/sound palette on this album is that every single song is the same)
(except for track 7 which still sounds like an ICP outtake)

btw dan did you know that on wiz khalifa says "i'm the shit, literally" on his album? dumbest rap line i've heard maybe ever
