this is great! so many awesome little lyrical bits bobbing around in the murk

Important: All the lyrics (the actual lyrics, from what I can tell, so presumably le1f is responsible) are up on RapGenius.

If those are the correct lyrics, I'm very disappointed to learn that the line "my twat is just a metaphor" was just a figment of my imagination. (n.b. that is totally what he says)

What does it say the lyrics are instead? I haven't had time to go through them all yet.

"patois is just a metaphor"

This is incredible. Mr. Jukebox Selection Committee, you know what to do (if you, or someone else, hasn't already).

I mean. I was about to send the email. I wanted to cover it the week the mixtape/album came out but the video got delayed.

Ah, just posted that to the other gay rappers thread. Great video! Makes me realize how awesome this track is.
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 19 July 2012 17:54 (eleven years ago) link
i really want someone to remaster this shit. not to keep harping on it but i wish i could listen & enjoy it.
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
it's really not that bad. i don't really get what's 'wrong' with it? a little murky but not as much as people make it sound and it's deliberate, not low quality or whatever.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
oh and xp @ jer - it's lou.
something about the bass being too loud and then the mix being overcompressed to fuck, whenever the sub hits everything gets squashed in away that is oppressive/unpleasant to my ears. i'm not trying to be on some audiophile shit, i'm really not that picky in general but it's hard to get past here.
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:17 (eleven years ago) link
man I kind of love that tbh
― that one guy (loves laboured breathing), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:19 (eleven years ago) link
only on track 1 right now, but are his vocals always so buried in the mix?
― to welcome jer.fairall, pie is served. (jer.fairall), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:22 (eleven years ago) link
frequently not always but that's what folks are complaining about. the 320 kbps free download is better than the stream. but you get used to it the more you listen.
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Thursday, 19 July 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link
Not saying this is what's happening in every case, but I think the fact that it's mixed more like a dance record than a rap record is throwing some people off?
― chain the color of am0n (The Reverend), Thursday, 19 July 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
i need to listen to more of this but "wut" is rad as fuck.

v glad that he's put the lyrics up
can't watch the video
mixtape keeps on giving
it seems "seapunk" in the thread title is understandable putting people off (INCLUDING ME tbh), can we delete it? it makes me cringe
― bitch I'm on the 242 (lex pretend), Saturday, 21 July 2012 09:53 (eleven years ago) link
Don't delete it until we've found out what "seapunk" is!

Been googling it on and off for the past couple hours and am now searching southern Michigan for a place that sells turquoise hair dye.
― that one guy (loves laboured breathing), Saturday, 21 July 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
so long as his lyrics still include lines like "i'm such a mermaid that I stay in your waves"
and "i'm banji, i'm foamy, i'm kunty believe me"
and as long as he keeps producing gorgeous instrumentals that sample erykah singing 'i was born underwater' i will continue to jokingly include him in #seapunk
― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Saturday, 21 July 2012 15:48 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah all that stuff just makes me love it more tbh.

damn, I just realized no one had posted "Born Underwater" itt

song (wut) is pretty cool. he has mad swag and i like his rapping mostly but his double time flow is srsly cringe.
― hardhouse banter (tpp), Sunday, 22 July 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. My one critique is that sometimes his fast raps are a little forced and out of sync with the beat. Especially on Wut.

there
― thraeds of life (The Reverend), Monday, 19 November 2012 22:59 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks, rev!
Anyway, it is the greatest and the EP is pretty great too.
Apparently the 12" vinyl opens with 'Born Underwater', that amazing track Boody & Le1f did that flips a Badu sample.
Also, the final mix of Sweet Tea on this EP gets rid of all the verses and just leaves the chorus and bridge in place - the rest is instrumental
The verses reappear on the Cedaa Remix but it's weird to not hear them after getting used to them on the demo for so long.

the Mike Q/Divoli S'vere Ha Mix of Soda is also pretty great.

Coins is the lead single, dropping some time this week. Production by Drippin & Souldrop.
