@noz Wilde Style.

i'm going to listen to this.

genuinely interested in your take

pff quit bullshitting you already know exactly what he's going to say

same goes for every ilm post by everyone tbf

eh see if there's a predictability continuum about people's reactions to certain kinds of rap, with aero and djp on one end and deej and j0rd on the other, i'd say m@tt is probably the closest thing to the dead middle

and he also has a knack for framing things in a different context than the one that other people have already set in stone

I have only heard this through the other people's cranked-up earphones. Very tinny. No bass.

tbh i read this whole thread first, so it's kinda hard to hear it with fresh ears because i'm so conscious of both sides of the argument.

so far i'm on the four song, love sosa and i don't like still have impact, they are the singles for a reason it seems like.

the production is pretty good overall.

you know what doesn't have bass, i'm different

though i think i *get* what deej & j0rd here in this, it's kind of the evolution of hip hop's movement away from strict lyricism into the idea of flow being the predominant function of the MC on the track (like that's ultimately what the rise of the south did to me)....

like keef is almost an anti-lyricist, like everything is stripped down to these weird verbal & rhythmic tics, like that "no tomorrow" track i just got done with was particularly fucked up from a flow perspective....

the beat for "kay kay" reminds me of that washed out chillwave group

haha the autotune on this is like the teen mom album

one fun thing about this record is trying to figure out when he's saying "fart" on purpose or just pronouncing some other word in a way that sounds like "fart"

man kay kay...oof...kind of a 50 tyson vibe on this

hahaha laughin' to the bank's hook....wow...i can't believe this is real

in a way, he's almost a throwback to like reaaaaaally old school stuff, or old miami bass stuff where the dude on the mic isn't exactly a rapper more just cycling through phrases to get the crowd hyped, like an old mobile dj unit thing or something

i don't think "flow" is the right word for chief keef's predominant function on tracks

Well, you don't get much higher praise than a 50 Tyson comparison.

he is not saying 'fart' what is wrong with u people

man kay kay...oof...kind of a 50 tyson vibe on this

huh??

tbf it really does sound at times like he's saying "fart" and since rappers go around comparing the smell of weed to armpits and cat piss i didn't really think it was out of the question for keef to say that about farts

bitch i'm fartin on em

he's way more on beat on "diamonds"

the beats have been overall pretty good except for laughin' to the bank, but in a way i almost support laughin' to the bank because it's funny that something so fucked up wasn't like on wordsound records

deej, it's just the way he says certain words sounds like he's saying fart. to me.

toot it and boot it

i have never heard 'fart' it sounds like a willful mishearing esp when donald glover is doing it for 'yucks' in that Vice video

maybe some people aren't super familiar with the wonderful "fuck boy"/"fuck n---a" variety of rap insults

on "kay kay" i def hear "fart" a few times

ballin' chorus is v catchy

deej honestly that's just what i heard ok, if you don't that's fine, but there's times it sounds like he's saying "fart" and there's really no other way i can explain that to you if you don't hear it.

"kay kay" being named after his kid definitely helps with the farrah abraham vibe

as far as donald glover, which lmao at the idea that i even know about donald glover fucking vice videos, but literally the very first time i heard "i don't like" i hear "fart nigga'...

maybe some people aren't super familiar with the wonderful "fuck boy"/"fuck n---a" variety of rap insults

this kinda baffles me slightly b/c it makes everything sound like gay porn

the 50 tyson thing is like the ppl who think we're just into dude b/c he's 'ignorant' it literally makes no sense to me that ppl can listen to these lyrics and think they're any more 'ignorant' than any street rapper ever

in a way, he's almost a throwback to like reaaaaaally old school stuff, or old miami bass stuff where the dude on the mic isn't exactly a rapper more just cycling through phrases to get the crowd hyped, like an old mobile dj unit thing or something

or i guess bounce, which still functions like this.

woah jeezy's verse really points out how off-beat keef, or hemiola'd out, keef is....now it almost sounds jarring to hear jeezy rhyme strictly on beat, i've gotten kinda hypnotized into the way keef flows all over

yeah jordan, bounce dudes too that's what i was getting at.

deej i just meant 50 tyson in that sometimes it sounds like a fuckin mess

but not always

and sometimes it's a good mess i guess?

pretty much all street rap = 'ignorant' to a lot of people though, right?

NOT FREDDIE GIBBS

CAN WHITE CRITICS LIKE FREDDIE GIBBS? NO ONE CARES! A THINKPIECE

ee-e-e-e-e-eeeeeeeeeeee ascending sound? is that young chop? man it's all over the place

i never actually heard 50 Tyson before just now, had only seen pictures of him etc. -- this guy is definitely operating on roughly the same skill level as Chief Keef

I have been holding back on the 50 Tyson comparisons itt so I'm glad someone else brought it up

i don't know what's wrong with just saying the dude made a moderately enjoyable, well produced album of negligible lyrical merit. i put it on par with the Travis Porter joint.

but literally the very first time i heard "i don't like" i hear "fart nigga'...

okay this is a bit much

maybe some people aren't super familiar with the wonderful "fuck boy"/"fuck n---a" variety of rap insults

always a fine line between homophobia and homoeroticism in rap, cf DMX

50 tyson comparisons are absurd, stop

Anti-lyrical sounds correct.

alright i'll retract the 50 tyson thing if that means we can stop the clusterfuck
