i love the idea of waiters on OKC
Listening to this for the first time now, and it's so infectiously fun. It's all in the delivery. --quan voice (voodoo chili)
this undersells the songwriting and general craftsmanship

there are some very charming backing vox on this album. "money make the world go round" on "this could be us", the whoa-oas on "come get her"

vladivostwerk
turns out i've not actually really paid attention to the 'up like trump' lyrics at all, like the song is a gaseous swampstage for the hiccupping ad libbing, incessant batrachoidal bubble

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

this absolutely bears underlining - if ur already not captivated by the first verse of the first song then save everyone the bother and get on back down to a more appropriately basic rung
like take this amazing bit not 3 mins in, why does the stream of consciousness bragging take this quite real, pained melancholy detour and slowly back round to bluffing
Lit sex yes, she show chestBreathe in deep, geeked all weekSunday night, Sunday fightArgue, don't wanna argueHow could you think that I would ever leave you?I see right through youGet money with the same crewI fuck the same hoes like youSwitch 'em out once a week, I'm coolMidnight crew, paint the Maserati midnight blueMoney pool, I'm 'bout to swim right throughWho are you?

Slim Jimmy: Young Thug got on it, he liked the song. Nicki Minaj, we met her in the studio. She was looking like a goddess.
Swae Lee: She was working on her album, and we were working on ours. We were going to do some collaboration work, but it was just crazy.
Slim Jimmy: She walked in looking like the most beautiful woman on the planet, and everything was in slow motion. Then time stopped. I couldn’t say anything because my mouth wouldn’t open. I was trying to say “Hi,” but I couldn’t.

The songs are good but The delivery was the most immediately appealing aspect of the album on first listen, and Swae Lee's sing-song on No Type and No Flex Zone are still my favorite things about those songs after dozens of listens
― quan voice (voodoo chili), Thursday, 8 January 2015 18:05 (nine years ago) link
I guess you could say that Slim Jim couldn't snap out of it...

my fav thing about their delivery is the amount of fun they seem to have with their voices - all these switch-ups between rat-a-tat stuff and sing-song warbles and growling and slurring and squeaky outrage. it's very nicki
but j0rdan otm about the craftsmanship too, these songs keep on giving

I don't remember if this Baauer/AlunaGeorge collab was posted elsewhere on ilm, but this song still kicks, too

you guys talked about this in the r&b 2014 thread

Usually those Converse/Adult Swim-style "we put three unassociated artists together; blog about us" songs don't hold much interest beyond a few listens but this one still gets me. It's like these guys are incapable of a throwaway

"safe sex pay checks" is so good... i love the sort of valley dude voice they affect on the chorus

still processing this but holy shit "Safe Sex Pay Checks" RULES

makonnen and father are like the faulty disposed prototypical rae sremmurd's ... i like to imagine mike will building a frankenstein rap star and overdoing the babyfaced youthfulness on makonnen & having to go back to the drawing board ... then drake brings makonnen back to life by pulling the switch & he jumps up from under the sheet ... its alive! sort of, anyway
― deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:43 (nine years ago) link
idk why but makonnen as the failed experiment from Mike WIll's Laboratory makes me lol
― deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:46 (nine years ago) link
Just clarifying, but if makonnen is under the sheet in this scenario then he's looming

I'm sorry everyone
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
it would be funny if i'd actually misused looming
― deej loaf (D-40), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:50 (nine years ago) link
dont try to make this a running joke bc published author curse of ray tabano doesn't know what looming means

Swae Lee: He’s the one that gave us the big chance. We had jobs at Olive Garden in Tupelo, and he said, “Y'all, leave Tupelo…”Slim Jimmy: Fuck that shit, come to Atlanta.Swae Lee: I’ll always love Olive Garden.Slim Jimmy: I can’t wait to go in there and buy all I want.Swae Lee: Those little breadsticks?

their awestruck reaction to nicki illustrates why her "throw sum mo" hook works so well, she must be a decade older than them at least so it's v much the boredom of a more experienced/jaded woman in the face of puppyish excitement, and maybe that's a better look than trying to out-wild them?
