you guys talked about this in the r&b 2014 thread
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 January 2015 18:55 (nine years ago) link
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
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:17 (nine years ago) link
this album is amazing

still processing this but holy shit "Safe Sex Pay Checks" RULES
― Simon H., Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:40 (nine years ago) link
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

Good to see you guys appreciating Safe Sex Pay Checks - breihan weirdly wanted it cut from the album lol

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?

Swae Lee: It’s like, “You’re my ex, but you’re playing.” It’s like the video for this is going to be crazy. It’s going to be not normal take you out to eat. We’re going to be out in space or something crazy.Slim Jimmy: I’m going to be with my girl in space, then we’re going to go and play baseball.Swae Lee: Let’s go to Applebee's. It’s going to be something crazy. Like, what’s crazy? I love Applebee's. Maybe jet skis. Maybe go to space. We have to make a video for this one.

Having heard the singles, but not the album, I'm getting the sense that Slim Jimmy is more or less the Phife to Swae Lee's Q-Tip. Is that accurate?
― JRN, Sunday, 11 January 2015 01:54 (nine years ago) link
It's closer to a 50/50 split than in Tribe, but I think it's a fair analogy if you take the most generous read of it, which is to say the Slim Jimmy is an essential player. He lands a ton of great moments; Swae Lee probably lands just a handful more
― Evan R, Sunday, 11 January 2015 02:49 (nine years ago) link
Lately I've started thinking of this more as kind of like a Beastie Boys album, in that it makes me wish I still skateboarded. And I think a lot of that punk energy comes from Slim Jimmy

"Unlock the Swag" is so amazing

The mix of "No Flex Zone" on the album sounds completely puny compared to the one I've been bumping for months? :(
― The Reverend, Sunday, 11 January 2015 10:02 (nine years ago) link
"Throw Sum Mo" does have a bit of a Weird Science vibe to it, it's true
― The Reverend, Sunday, 11 January 2015 10:21 (nine years ago) link
it's the same mix of "no flex zone" as far as i can tell?
i wish there was an official version with all RS verses and nicki's verse, nice that her remix was made official but no one needs to hear pusha t on it
― lex pretend, Sunday, 11 January 2015 12:15 (nine years ago) link
the mp3 I've had starts completely differently, and the levels and even some of the synth textures are quite noticeably different

well, the official nicki/pusha remix has new RS verses: https://soundcloud.com/raesremmurd/rae-sremmurd-no-flex-zone-remix-featuring-nicki-minaj-pusha-t-prod-by-mike-will-made-it
and there's definitely a version that just tacks the nicki verse onto the original with RS's verses intact, because i've heard it on the radio a lot.
