i'm curious to see if he goes completely down the rabbit hole and moves into completely abstract sound. it seems like the logical next step.

As I said on the other thread I don't think this stuff is that good. Sounds like he's hitting the codeine too hard.

keef's put out a number of good songs this year, just needs to put a tape out
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 28 July 2013 19:21 (ten years ago) link
i liked the stuff right after he got out, macaroni time & etc. I don't like the shit that sounds like its verging on lil b levels of purposelessness
yeah some of it like "round da rosey" or whatever is just not very good
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 28 July 2013 19:23 (ten years ago) link
the songs I've heard from Keef this year are "Macaroni Time," "Ring Around The Rosey" and "April Fools"...if anything he's regressing to early childhood.

haha i think it's funny that you still have this theory since his, ahem, timing is similar on a lot of tracks, especially the new stuff
― some dude, Saturday, 10 August 2013 23:55 (ten years ago) link
still curious what that next level would consist of or if it's just "an approach to rhythm we can't really understand as having to do with our conceptions of what rhythm is"

you still don't understand what i'm talking about, just fyi
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Sunday, 11 August 2013 00:44 (ten years ago) link
there's a particular flow he does on that track that doesnt happen on ... any of his other songs
it's interesting that that trailer for a slick-looking "Citgo" video with Interscope logos all over it just showed up. you think that was just in the can for a long time or that they smell a hit and are still trying to do something with that album?
― some dude, Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:17 (ten years ago) link
i don't think that song is a real world hit as much as an internet/critical hit. i know for a fact the video was just shot though—the guy who shot it manages yung gleesh and they were just in chicago a couple weeks ago
i did wonder about why that particular one went through the label whereas half keef's videos seem very evidently handled by keef & the videographer directly.
he is apparently dropping 'bang 2' in a couple days though
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:27 (ten years ago) link
there is def an impetus for keef to hit the 250k mark by december though, i guess theres something in his contract where interscope could withhold releasing more albums if he doesnt hit that mark. i don't see why they would do that though, even if he didnt
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:28 (ten years ago) link
they would def need another mini-hit for him to hit 250k by the end of the year

― J0rdan S., Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:31 (ten years ago) link
"macaroni time" might be his third biggest song ever... maybe fourth if you wanna include "bang"
Prez @PrezidentYoung 10 JulHe gotta clear 250k for him to keep the deal RT @chartnews US album sales @ChiefKeef, Finally Rich 1,819 (187,927 total)
ppl keep saying this but its not correct ... its that interscope has the option to hold up the release of a sophomore album.

btw the big lean / keef song in question has nearly a million views o_O

― rap steve gadd (D-40), Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:37 (ten years ago) link
i imagine they'd keep him around even so for a second album since his music seems fairly inexpensive to make and he still does well virally without any traditional promotion
that said if they push a few singles and they don't really pop he could end up in one of those hellish deals
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:38 (ten years ago) link
all we need now is a medium lean
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:40 (ten years ago) link
lots rappers have gone GOLD and still get their follow-up album held up for so long that they inevitably give up and ask out of their contract or seem happy to get dropped, so it's not like anything's guaranteed either way. Keef doing all these songs/videos on his own and aligning with Gucci who hasn't seemed to even try to do anything with a major in years certainly indicates that he's not holding his breath for A&Rs to greenlight a 2nd album, which is why the "Citgo" thing surprised me.

250 is the new gold
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:46 (ten years ago) link
i think the 250k thing is more of a semantic thing, like 'if you don't hit that number, we're not even obligated to work your next lead single and pretend to give you a release date.' xp
― some dude, Sunday, 11 August 2013 01:46 (ten years ago) link
Prob true
I doubt the label is trying to wash their hands of him or anything though

We was sittin’ there watchin’ the stage. Waitin’ for the man they called Chief Keef to come out and do his thing. It was me and my four droogs. Them bein’ Peter, Georgio and Dim; Dim being really Dim.
‘Round an hour’d passed and the place was packed straight through to the back. I’d just dropped some dollars for the Best Buy exclusive version of Finally Rich six months back. Now was the time, this was the place. The Harambee House. Chicago. 2012.
I was only there for the first night, see, but them cats at DatPiff just made my life complete. They put out a few mixtapes of all that sound. Keef put out those nights. But you know my type, man. Can’t afford to eat, let alone spend some heavy cash on internet. So I only got the essential. <i>Finally Rich</i> is one disc, makin’ it cheaper than an iPhone. And you only get the best stuff.
Man, the opening beauty of “Love Sosa” It’s like a dream I had: I floated on the River Nile, smokin’ some fresh weed, relaxin’. But I ain’t ever gonna see the Nile anyhow. This track’s as close as I come, and it’s close enough. Best of the best, though, has gotta be “Laughin' to the Bank.” It’s only when you listen to a perfect old rap tune like this that you realize how much "trap rave" is derived from this music. Keef takes it to heaven and back with some style, man. Some richness, daddy. It’s a sad thing his career was cut short by them jaws o’ label fuckery.
Shit, cat. It don’t make a difference. The man produced enough good music to last me a lifetime. This <i>Finally Rich</i> thing’s just another example of the genius of Keef.
