Finally Rich - Chief Keef

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'...

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

you didn't start the fire, homie

get the fuck out with the 50 tyson shit

al should be embarrassed

i'm not saying the hemiola thing is real or not, don't know enough to say

but i think deej is right that there's some kind of method to the madness, rhythmically, which i think is illustrated by the difference between the tracks where the way in which keef is offbeat works and the one in which it doesn't, like this finally rich song really fucking sucks

but then on hate being sober, love sosa, 3hunna, etc it kinda vibes in a weird/cool way

"cigo" - again reminds me of chillwave type stuff, at least the intro

Travis Porter joint is good!

that jeezy verse is terrible imo

like... "damn, can jeezy still rap?" terrible

lyrically i like the jeezy verse but it definitely sounds stiff & old mannish by comparison

And citgo is very chillwave, yes.

this citgo song is bizarre

yeah the jeezy verse wasn't good really, but it was just sort of interesting as a point of comparison, like maybe these beats aren't made to be rapped on beat?

VSTs becoming mainstream has really changed hip hop

al should be embarrassed

i know! i don't know how i went years without actually hearing his music

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

been busy all morning but this is really a must for the new ilm board description

The 5 Tyson comparison is ridiculous (albeit amusing) but this definitely isn't the first I'm hearing of the "fart" thing.
