its' not about getting upstaged, he didn't get upstaged, that's to imply there was ever any fair competition. He was just an irrelevance. a style that was seen as cool and desirable to some people only a few years ago now ill-adapted to any song.

jeff weiss said he heard tyga's "yeezus album" as exec prod by kanye west himself so racoon tanuki may have to swallow his wors

I'm ok w tyga in a boring generic way he doesn't sound old IMO (a la Ross and jeezy on finally rich) so much as tepidly regular. But it's not even distracting on hookah
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Friday, 5 September 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link
Tyga isn't really generic imo because he always shoots for something beyond just competent with his flows and word choices and then falls somewhere below competent because he's a terrible vocalist who uses words he doesn't understand. it's like the exact opposite of capable unambitious Jeezy types.

i am prepared to enjoy the work of 12hunna as new and distinct and beguiling etc it's just what idg is how the reasons for doing so are any less corny indie fuxxy than they were for 'citgo'

"As far as formal innovations go that abrupt hard filter thing that 12 Hunna does has been pretty underrated and totally physically brutal in the best way and I would not be at all mad to hear more of that in the new year." noz, december 2013

lol. citgo was C.I.F. bc it was a fairly marginal bonus track for him that wasn't even as big as "Kobe" or "They Know" but became this online rallying pt for the cloud rap contingent. dont get me wrong i like the song. but the argument im making for 12hunna's production is that it's kind of central to what he's doing right now, that it helps to organize a disparate selection of loosies if you find the constellation in the tracks & by & large I think 12hunna's sound has been a defining part of the '14-era Keef sound
Not at all opposed to calling him the cis fka twigs though

he's developed a lot since that point IMO...he's less going for brutal than a strange kind of looping disorientation ... idk sucks that the only youtubes has hustlenomics on them but the 4 12hunna tracks off top are 'shooters' 'make it count' 'hundreds' and 'pull up.'

for the past 2 years its been a perpetual game of ppl saying he was on the last of his 15 minutes yet he remains one of the only rap rookie able to push out major label albums, has sustained as one of the genre's most popular artists, and has continually evolved as a performer. u write mash notes to marginal heard-by-15-people cassette tape only releases so

able to push out major label albums
i'll believe it when this supposed second Interscope album actually hits stores tbh
he has been kind of impressively resilient on an "always in the top artists on livemixtapes" level but i mean 2 years ago you were saying keef-branded headphones were gonna be a big christmas list item

this is the current livemixtapes top ten:1. Migos2. Kevin Gates3. Gucci Mane4. Rich Homie Quan5. Young Thug6. Young Jeezy7. Lil Boosie8. Lil Wayne9. Chief Keef10. Yo Gotti
notable that the only guys there that haven't had mainstream radio hits in the last few months are Gucci and Keef (and Kevin Gates, although he's starting to break through to radio right now). Gucci is obviously kind of a unique case, but clearly Keef is hanging onto the mixtape audience better than, like, Ca$h Out or LoveRance or whoever else had one big radio song 2 years ago.

if they weren't going to be extraordinarily overpriced I'd buy you a pair of beats by keef's for xmas next year

lol that was funny but not really what you implied i said
two notes about his lack of chart success: first is that his biggest songs came right before the digital streams were incorporated into charts. second is that i've heard that a lot of radio PDs were shook by the 'chicago violence' negative publicity and wouldn't play his stuff. (Or any of the drill stuff)
― deej loaf (D-40), Wednesday, 17 September 2014 03:12 (nine years ago) link
in my world of young people chief keef was like all anyone talked about for months around the release of finally rich, i'm genuinely not sure those same people remember who he is anymore
(i know that is not specifically what you're claiming about his popularity but)
― een, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 03:18 (nine years ago) link
oh jeez sorry you just said they'd be on sale and expensive not that people would buy them, is my face red
i remember a few months after "Love Sosa" peaked on the charts i spent a weekend in South Carolina and it was the #1 song on the station down there. it seemed like his stuff kinda spread out regionally and didn't all hit at once. i think he just didn't hit all regions on the same level. he never seemed to make a heavy impact in Baltimore (where Boosie and Gucci and Meek have super strong fanbases).
― some dude, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 03:20 (nine years ago) link
continued presence at the top of mixtape charts despite lack of radio hits suggests he has a dece hardcore fanbase which is a p cool thing to have and a good place to build from im rating chief keef a strong buy our highest rating
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 03:23 (nine years ago) link
he also routinely gets views in the low millions on youtube for all those random songs he does videos for that i guess weren't even on mixtapes?
