He is, and these other remarks -

There's some flesh-colored panties on under there right?
But re: Poker face, the melodic chorus really is so much better than the rap-lite verses and especially the pu-pu-pokerface breakdown which is just awful. Same deal, to a lesser extent with Just Dance, the verses are actually cool but her "hip hypnotic gin-n-tonic chronic" bridge thing kinda derails the song, and the version with Kardinal Offishull or whatever retarded way he spells his name is even worse. How did this schmuck become the go-to Canadian dancehall guest MC for pop songs? That Dangerous song was banging but would have been so much better with a better rapper on it.

Fuck you, Kardinal Offishal is great. He's just a bit past his prime.
― sugjust blaze (The Reverend), Sunday, 5 April 2009 04:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually, the problem with him currently is more that he's stuck making all these bad pop moves than that he's lost anything, but seriously, he's behind a lot of banging shit.
― sugjust blaze (The Reverend), Sunday, 5 April 2009 05:00 (fifteen years ago) link
his verse on the "just dance" remix is pretty cool imo
the single he had w/ clipse was great also, "dangerous" is bullshit tho
― i think mermaids are real (J0rdan S.), Sunday, 5 April 2009 05:01 (fifteen years ago) link
I knew someone would come back at me with a well-thought out defense of Offishal. Mind you that I know nothing of his illustrious past in the Canadian dancehall scene and am basing my dislike of him purely on the recent radio songs he has pissed all over.
And you gotta admit that spelling is pretty stupid.
― DJ Mr. Face Stabba, M.D. (Whitey on the Moon), Sunday, 5 April 2009 05:03 (fifteen years ago) link
his verse on the reggae remix of "grindin" is also a classic

He's more of a rap artist w/ strong dancehall influences than a dancehall artist.

i dont know that i would pass off "the spelling 'offishall' is dumb" as "rappers be spelling shit wrong"
― WHO DEY and the blowfish (roxymuzak), Sunday, 5 April 2009 05:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Word roxy. I like plenty of misspelled rap names. It's just this particular one that strikes me as really dumb. I like how I turned this into a Kardinal Offishall thread though.

I'm listening to "Poker Face" for the first time and it's kind of insulting how many elements they recycle from "Just Dance"; the whole thing strikes me as completely unremarkable. Can someone please point out specifics of why this song is special or enjoyable? On a side note, the "pop music will never be low brow" thing was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, right?
― (The) (Fabulous) (Stevie D), Sunday, 5 April 2009 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link
i find Poker Face far more enjoyable than Just Dance because the melody pulls me in much more. I also love all the loopy editing on the vocals and the crunchy synths.
― Surmounter, Sunday, 5 April 2009 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link
i hear how it's very similar to Just Dance but this isn't something i hear initially, only when it has been pointed out.
― Surmounter, Sunday, 5 April 2009 20:11 (fifteen years ago) link
Really?? It was the very first thing I heard, especially in the intros. It's like they were locked in a room and had to create every song with exactly the same instruments/effects/etc.

i guess it just didn't seem that odd to me for 2 songs off the same album to use the same synth sounds
― Surmounter, Sunday, 5 April 2009 21:49 (fifteen years ago) link
these 2 songs relate to one another in a way that reminds me of how the songs on Confessions on a Dance Floor do.
― Surmounter, Sunday, 5 April 2009 21:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Also, I know it's extremely silly to attempt to critique lyrical content of modern pop music, but does anyone else find "Just Dance" particularly distasteful? "Go out and get grossly drunk and it's OK if you get raped or something because you can JUST DANCE YOUR CARES AWAY"
