Thraed of Chief Keef's "Bang 3" major label abum due in September

stoked for the madness.

i believe in chief keef

he's posted some songs on instagram that sound so amazing over the last year or so. all seem to have disappeared now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLBE-mK0enk

TBH I think his 2014 has been better than most competing artists.

he has depth as a rapper & isn't a singles machine.

My Chief Keef best of 2014 comp would be something like:

1. Chief Keef - Gucci Gang feat. Justo and Tadoe
2. Chief Keef - Close That Door
3. Chief Keef - Hundreds
4. Chief Keef - Ight Doe
5. Chief Keef - Killer
6. Chief Keef - Tec
7. Chief Keef - Make It Count
8. Chief Keef - No
9. Chief Keef - Pull Up
10. Chief Keef - Save Me
11. Chief Keef - Slam Dunkin
12. Chief Keef - War
13. Gucci Mane and Chief Keef - Top in the Trash
14. Yae Yae Jordan feat. YNS Cheeks and Chief Keef - Strapped (Remix)
15. Chief Keef - Oh My Goodness

16. Chief Keef - Love No Thotties

out here like a flopson (tpp)

Ones I haven't been into: "Either Way," "April Fools," "Either Way," "Fuck Rehab," "Fucked Up" is OK but eh, "Go To Jail" "Now It's Over"

you didn't even mention his best song from this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFTI7VOz-gI

i think "fuck rehab" is great too

i deliberately left both of those songs off because they aren't that good

'how it go' as far as melodic autotune joints go is pretty rote

wrong

have you actually heard the songs i listed

cmon that song isn't touching other earlier melodic joints along those lines

i love this but tell me it's not the final version http://www.audiomack.com/song/fakeshoredrive/foreigns-1

its clearly not shit sounds jumpy

a bunch of those songs aren't 2014

thanks for "getcha" though missed that one somehow

nm i'm good

Here's a Chief Keef song from 2009, when Keef was 15 or so, produced by DJ Kenn, and people he knew who'd been killed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5esh-07utjg

dj kenns story abt how he came to chicago from japan because he wanted to do rap and was wandering the streets when keefs uncle found him and offered him a place to stay is so beautiful

how did he even figure to go to chicago its very cosmic

I guess he was in DC for a while first?

NYC. He had to leave for a situation he wouldn't explain to me. I asked he decided on Chicago and his non-answer was that he was either going to go to Miami or Chicago.

v intersting person

u want to do rap so u go somewhere that isnt particularly hot rapwise and by chance meet the people who you will help to blow the place up

he'd been recording keef since he was 10-11

Kenn, who declined to give his real name for this article, is originally from the Yamagata Prefecture of Japan. He produced the beat for “Bang,” as well as several of Keef’s other songs. He discovered hip-hop as a teenager living in Japan, and became a big fan of Dr. Dre, Nas and Cam’ron. (“[Stillmatic and Come Home With Me] are classics to me,” Kenn said when asked about his favorite performers. “I used to listen to those every day.”) When he turned 18, around 2005, Kenn moved to Tokyo, and within two years followed a friend to New York City. “I always looked up to him,” he explained. “He was doing music with people [in the U.S.]. I was like, I want to do music like him.” The United States completely changed Kenn’s perceptions of hip-hop. “Right here, everything is life-sized,” Kenn said in a thick accent. “Radio, parties, or even clothes, anything. This is real. In Japan, it’s different. People get older and they start to listen to it. Right here, it’s like babies listen to hip-hop, they grow up with the rhythm.”

crazy

some other good quotes here: http://somanyshrimp.com/2012/03/22/bang-the-launch-of-a-16-year-old-chicago-rapper/

yah p sure thats where i read abt it in the first place lol

good reporting fascinating story

more internet music people shd do reported pieces imho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii6z7mjUG7A

i find it interesting to look at his pre-fame videos, his rap style has always been weird but also considered

ya hes def trying harder at rapping in that one

the guy Odee who OBlock is named for is in that video

also chicago ahead of the curve on backward baseball caps

they def brought timberlands back too.

Don't mess w the dude in the mariners zip up

Timberlands never really went anywhere in mpls but I guess we get a lot of snow so

well yeah they didn't go anywhere in chicago either, they just became a mainstream fashion thing after this stuff popped off

I think Noz is right to push "Sosa style" as representative of nu keef ish, feels like a good rallying pt around which the rest of these records can rotate

https://twitter.com/a_plus/status/507763441789304832

some of this new stuff sounds like busdriver fell down a well

not sure i hear that, gotta say. it's like the anti-busdriver. keef likes to max out at four words per bar

unless you mean, like, when he fell in the well, the sentences broke off on the way down, or something

oh hemiola is the only creative jazzy flow is it :P

nah it's not so much any ott lyrical miracle stuff just mainly kinda the cali bro/gameshow host voice he puts on for 'i quote' or 'shooters' tbh

agree that "sosa style" is a good song for 2014 keef stuff to orbit around but i actually think it's one of his few songs from this year where he has a really dope & unique beat to work with (also "no")

It was an honest mistake dude, it used to be hi def's place. You remember hi def, right? You hate that guy.

we have a complicated relationship

Who said it was an "honest mistake"?

God damn don't cross the high handed moralizing of ilx's extremely recently discovered taste for sanctimony

i just came across it today searching for rap on youtube and thought it was a weird/dumb story that involved my home city

that was more about joe stork's response & the finger wagging when it was linked earlier upthread

I mean, how dare someone respond to someone's shitty behavior with sarcastic reference to how shitty it was?

It was more a joke than anything else, and I don't actually think you condone Keef being an asshole, but are you really taking people to task for saying that this was a shitty thing to do?

Or what djp said

ok guys lets shut this down before he finds out where i live!!!!!!

'mindin my business' off the 2 chainz ep d(-_-)b

is anyone willing to admit yet that this song was fire #hemiola
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4jAa5Za-nQ

i ask bc it looks like big lean has a new (inferior) record popping off, lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivlKK15w1bI

Sosa sounds good on this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2yb4Et7u1U

amazing hook, it's so twangy

v good

super A&Rish, good though. im more into his solo singles 'reload' & 'can u be my friend'

yeah good to hear him on something radio-worthy-friendly. wow nice those two recs are both a+

is that a harpsichord on the reload beat?

i kinda prefer when he makes futuristic jams that become influential staples cf 'faneto' 'earned it' than when he makes obv radio records tbh

makes sense yeah I just think its cool for him to hop on something like that once in a while

i went to this hip hop party this weekend & kids still respond to faneto like its 'knuck if you buck' here

https://www.instagram.com/p/BSFRy8YDpZ2/

i heard zero future or migos songs lol

these are soundcloud kids though they like stuff like thouxanban fauni & etc.

v nice

“Back from the dead 3” is a strong one... maybe best since “dedication”

is really good, obsessed with 'bestie' - such a strange fog of a song

how sad should I be feeling that I had to stay home because I had a headache instead of seeing this tour?

his live shows are very hit or miss, fwiw

but ive seen some great ones

sometimes in the sense that he misses them himself

zing

just having a blast revisiting bang 2, almighty so, and back from the dead 2

keef entered some kind of wormhole right after finally rich, mindbending music

faneto song of the decade

just having a blast revisiting bang 2, almighty so, and back from the dead 2

^^^^

i shd do a comp of 'loosies' from that era

https://sisilafami.tumblr.com/post/95999019091/my-chief-keef-loosies-folder#notes

come real hard like the "g" that's after the "uh" in spaghetti

When a new rapper is not rapping offbeat i assume he's at least 29yo

haha

been thinking recently about how the two opinions deej was most pilloried for on ILX — that chief keef and lil peep are hugely important/influential—have come down incontrovertibly in his favor

I thought it was pretty clear at the time he was right, people just didn't want it to be true. :)

this made me google "j.i.d. age" and lo and behold, he's 30

my argument was that they were bad

^this, though i have a little room for keef in my heart

two recent guest verses go super hard.. i'm forecasting a major keef renaissance in 2024 if he keeps it up

sexxy red - ghetto princess ft. chief keef

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKQ7xrRVLtY

lil gnar, young nudy & chief keef - pb&j

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tn4lGtatbw

ghetto princess verse is insane

bitch this polo foreign, this is not ralph lauren
bout them blueberries, we will split a n**** orange
call you back i'm touring, you gone make me horny
ass redder than that flight i booked you for the morning
ferraris and porsches, they think i ride horses
all this lemon-lime i pour, they think sosa got an endorsement
tryna ball like chief so, you don't need no porsches
all you gotta do is have that sauce and that's important
i got alfredo, turn you to some ragu
wrist got the bitch stuck, looking like a statue
yeah my lamborghini fast, my hellcat's fast too
all these cats, you would think i bought em cause i had to
did i have to? man, i never do
from the trenches get rich, shit'll better you
at the venue, counting revenue
big forty-five, i don't care if you 7'2"
big forty-five, i don't care if it's seven of you

ghetto princess, great song.

"hellcats srts" had durk on the remix but it's prob the most keef-style song on the project

Brrt-brrt, yeah, hello, man, who this?
I don't know, I got you saved as, "Fat booty bitch"

haha wow yeah he went off

dirty nachos is amazing
