I esteem the word sremmurd, it is truly beautiful, but I prefer it without the 'sh' sound which also turns the drummers ear thing into sean connery

would have been 100% perfect but for the safe sex psa finale (maybe the big sean one too)

who here has the best Rae Sremmurd name? I'm pretty happy with La Yelpihs but Divad Ekard is fire.

Xela Nosrehpcam starts off well but descends badly
happy bday La Yelpihs btw

these two are basically tweens. fine for a song like no flex zone but really awkward and weird when they start rapping about sex. "safe sex pay checks" is some kind of questionable nickelodeon song

i know. everything about them seems young though. like the skate-video thing in the no flex zone video. plus their faces
― fennel cartwright, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 05:44 (nine years ago) link
except the parts where they reference Kool Moe Dee and Magilla Gorilla like they went to junior high with 2 Chainz

I like Safe Sex Pay Checks a lot, actually. More sceptical about the slightly dated/generic sounding My X, mostly due to Chop.
― longneck, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 09:42 (nine years ago) link
"my x" is sort of mean-spirited in a way that jars with what they're like elsewhere, if there's a weak link then it's def it

The chorus of “Safe Sex Pay Checks” is a complete lift of Alley Boy/Ty$'s "RNGM" but maybe that's why I like it so much
― Evan R, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 17:04 (nine years ago) link
No way, it's sort of perfect.
Whole album is so gleeful. Haven't heard anything so shamelessly fun in a long time. Nice to start the year with.

"throw sum mo" may have underwhelmed a little as a single but it bangs in the middle of the album

Not saying there's anything inherently offputting about teen rap. I think the teenageyness is part of No Flex's appeal. I consider it a kind of a cute and cheerful singalong at heart and was pleasantly surprised at how good natured it sounded. Lex, I feel you about the mean-spiritedness being jarring, and I think I might just be more sensitive to mean-spiritedness as I seem to find it in more places.

"lit like bic" is incredible, you only have to listen to the first song to refute that point

At some point this year the streak is going to end, but as of now Rae Sremmurd have yet to release a bad song. Amazing streak.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 7 January 2015 19:32 (nine years ago) link
“Powerglide” was awesome, yeah, but I am not sure if I was more into Sremm or Mike WiLL on the first two albums. “Throw Sum Mo” and “By Chance” probably my faves.
― assert (matttkkkk), Tuesday, 14 June 2022 22:01 (one year ago) link
Same. "By Chance" is great.
Feel like they both hit a wall (commercially at least) by 2018 or so. Like, they lost some sort of energy or something.Still some decent tracks, but nothing undeniable after that.
― mr.raffles, Tuesday, 14 June 2022 22:06 (one year ago) link
i'm not sure rae sremmurd/mike will lost anything so much as rap started to move away from melody/pop songwriting and towards harder, lyrical, street style rap. out of sheer popularity rap music charts as pop music right now but artists like lil durk, lil baby, gunna, moneybagg yo, polo g make music that is pretty far from i.e. "no type," "black beatles" etc. you can see it too in the way that music by ppl like drake & future have evolved over the same time period.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 June 2022 17:16 (one year ago) link
Yeah. There was certainly a sea change post-Lil Baby/Gunna that knocked a lot of the class of '15/'16 down a few rungs. I guess I hoped they (Sremm and Mike Will) would find a way to adapt and pivot better than they have (and like MW had done before that). I like ridiculous just as much (more than?) the next guy, but, interpolating Elvis with Diplo probably ain't the way back to the top for Swae Lee... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6mEXWXeolk

― mr.raffles, Friday, 7 April 2023 14:45 (one year ago) link
The main problem with Sr3mm was how unfocused it seemed: a few v high highs but a whole lot of filler. This one sounds tight and plays to their strengths.

listening now, mostly pretty good (i had to skip "lean so cold," sheesh), especially like when they use older school sounds, like the miami bass touches that pop up in "tanisha" and "sexy" and the amen break-driven electro at the beginning of "flaunt it."
i am less interested in their straight trap stuff, they don't have the same energy and the hooks aren't so sticky. "royal flush" is good tho
