tumblr rapper kitty pryde

misread a kitty pryde song title as "hittin 'ILX" and thought, "ohhhh shit"

saw her open for danny brown (day after dick-sucking incident)

i like some of her songs but couldn't really work up a strong opinion about her set. the backing tracks were very very different from the stuff she's "released." it was more aggressive. i don't think it did her many favors since the lushness of some of her production + her absentminded sheepish flow is what makes the good tracks good

but i feel like i have to apologize on behalf of men to her. she was wandering around during DB's set and had to put up with guys groping her, often putting their hands suggestively on her shoulder. one tried to wrap his arm around her waist. she just walked away with an angry/exasperated expression so i guess she can handle it but it was gross to watch. (maybe not as gross as watching danny brown get violated by some girl in the first row, though.) wtf males?

also wtf females?

hands off the performers, people

I actually like "RHEAM"

Er, "RREAM"

Is that a Scooby Doo-style Wu Tang cover?

Kinda but not really

liked her noisey piece/essay/whatever on the incident. a bit overstated & defensive towards the end, but mostly otm and worth a read.

i'm really surprised we didn't discuss that whole incident on ILX. it really begs for a long drawn-out discussion with lots of nabisco posts.

also it's weird how many folks on this thread assume she _is_ the persona projected by her songs. among other things it's clearly calculated to wind up critics.

So she's either genuinely really bratty and annoying or is just pretending to be, cool, radical, she's amazing.

well that's obv not what i meant but thanks for playing.

damn, this was in madison?

yeah. the whole show had a weird vibe, but maybe that's just this tour

kitty pryde is awesome. her xanned out, detached flow is really hypnotic and, i think, fairly unique. there will always be something glamorous to me about teenage apathy.

and greasy. glamorous and greasy.

grease and glamor are basically synonyms afaic

careful on the runway

@joncaramanica 1h
There's definitely a group of bros chanting "suck his dick" at Kitty during her opening set before Danny Brown

yeah, that sucks.

jesus fucking christ

ijc

and greasy. glamorous and greasy.

i think the word you're searching for is "pimply"?

cool concert cool internet presences cool friendship cool everyone http://gawker.com/crowd-to-kitty-pryde-suck-danny-browns-dick-danny-br-496411250

can't lie and say I didn't see this coming pretty much from day one; that said, fuck everybody, I bet they comment on brooklyn vegan too

Disappointing, not least because I find Kitty Pryde more interesting and original than Danny Brown.

her response at the end of that thing was great and otm

nope

she (and danny brown) are reacting like people are horrified because she was heckled, when people are actually horrified that she was being heckled using sexually demeaning language that directly referred to her defending the headliner that the hecklers were presumably there to see (though apparently she shouldn't have bothered since DB basically undermined her defense)

if people were just booing and saying "you suck" no one would care

oh no sexually demeaning language at a rap show ;_;

how come she doesn't get to shrug it off and be like 'grow up', that is p much the exact right response, and to say she really doesn't need anyone else stepping up to her defense is also exactly right

and this is why i usually don't bother

good, apparently no one should bother having these conversations

what a cool, progressive attitude

i was cool with her shrugging it off but i thought it was lame when she bragged about how she gets to spend time with danny brown.

seems kinda like her head is in a fucked up place imo

if she felt like danny not dealing with it all was appropriate that's on her i guess but i don't know if that was me in that situation i'd want my friend to tell those people to fuck off, just on a "i got your back" tip

did he definitely know about it before playing his set? i mean, he was probably in the green room smoking weed and not watching, right?

yeah. the whole show had a weird vibe, but maybe that's just this tour

anyway this is really disappointing. i think i had a show that night or i would have been there.

that's exactly it, it sounds like it was just a couple of people at a show being jerks and prolly not even on danny brown's radar at the time and no one, even kitty, really cares all too much except the outrage factories on the internet

like, obviously chanting shit like that at a show is not cool, but not everyone has to respond with some big missive about what it means in critical terms, sometimes you can just respond by being like "this is not a big deal to me"

did he definitely know about it before playing his set? i mean, he was probably in the green room smoking weed and not watching, right?

at the madison show danny brown came on 1 hr late b/c apparently he was so drunk/stoned that he had passed out in the tour bus. when they finally got him up it was almost 1 AM and he was clearly really groggy. this was evident in his between-song patter but his rapping was completely on point, which is some kind of real achievement.

i just note this to say that yeah he was probably completely oblivious to what was happening during kitty's set.

obviously chanting shit like that at a show is not cool

apparently this was not obvious to everyone in the audience

oh no sexually demeaning language at a rap show ;_;

because it's not surprising it shouldn't be discussed or indeed outright condemned?

a lot of what kitty wrote in that long blog post/whatever it was (can't tell on the internet anymore) was on point

but it's weird that it seems to have been written without the confidence/input of danny himself. she assured us that she knows what he is feeling but on no evidence

which honestly is kind of bad. not as bad as sucking danny brown's dick while he's performing. not as naff as all the misogyny evident at these shows. but kind of bad nonetheless

feel like for kitty her friendship with/access to the mind of danny brown is real capital and she's going to use it

which tarnishes her insights a little

she assured us that she knows what he is feeling but on no evidence

he cosigned it pretty heavily after it was posted

yeah but he did so while still retweeting people who were more or less congratulating him for getting a BJ on stage no?

"why you wanna fuckin' undercut me like i'm skrillex hair?"

I present to you a dope tune from tumblr rapper Glasspopcorn

I've seen that like three times on ILX now; have to presume he's getting popular?

Don't know. Including this one, I posted it twice. Don't know who the third person was.
