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
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
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
― Andrew WKRP (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
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?
― Andrew WKRP (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
pretty much all street rap = 'ignorant' to a lot of people though, right?

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
― ThePartyHater (some dude), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:22 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― ThePartyHater (some dude), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
but literally the very first time i heard "i don't like" i hear "fart nigga'...

Anti-lyrical sounds correct.

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

― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:34 (eleven years ago) link
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

that jeezy verse is terrible imo
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
like... "damn, can jeezy still rap?" terrible
lyrically i like the jeezy verse but it definitely sounds stiff & old mannish by comparison
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
And citgo is very chillwave, yes.
― future kendricks (longneck), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:36 (eleven years ago) link
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?

The 5 Tyson comparison is ridiculous (albeit amusing) but this definitely isn't the first I'm hearing of the "fart" thing.
― tsrobodo, Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:50 (eleven years ago) link

― Andrew WKRP (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
hmmm
i kind of don't know what to think, it's really something!
i def agree w/aero & the haters that he's not a great rapper per se, but on the better songs he definitely functions are part of the track in a unique and very catchy way. it's distinctive for sure.
the biggest worry i would have if i were from the deej/j0rd camp is that, with a couple of exceptions, the best songs on this are the big songs that were around before the album comes out....
overall, it's kind of an exhausting listen and i'm not sure i will listen to it again.
― Andrew WKRP (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
aero & the haters are playing at the vfw next week btw, please come out and support the scene

more than half the album was out before the album.

― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 9 January 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
the biggest problem i see is that where does he go from here? he either gets more conventional and "better", which would probably lose what makes him distinctive, or stays in the same stylistic rut, which, judging by this album, he may have already released the best, most iconic keef qua keef tracks before the album even came out.
