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

Tyga isn't really generic imo because he always shoots for something beyond just competent with his flows and word choices and then falls somewhere below competent because he's a terrible vocalist who uses words he doesn't understand. it's like the exact opposite of capable unambitious Jeezy types.

you don't know 12hunna beats until you hear them on vinyl

Lmao

more like 'til you hear them without dj hustlenomics dropping like 80 gunshots, airhorns, and dj effects on top of them'

but i know u just lol @ any deej clowning no matter how facile smh

It's holiday seaaaaasooooooonn

i am prepared to enjoy the work of 12hunna as new and distinct and beguiling etc it's just what idg is how the reasons for doing so are any less corny indie fuxxy than they were for 'citgo'

like we finally get the cis fka twigs we've all been waiting for let's hold hands and bask in the vibes w/o shame imo

It's keef, deej makes the rules we serve at his leisure

"As far as formal innovations go that abrupt hard filter thing that 12 Hunna does has been pretty underrated and totally physically brutal in the best way and I would not be at all mad to hear more of that in the new year."
noz, december 2013

i tend to agree with that

lol. citgo was C.I.F. bc it was a fairly marginal bonus track for him that wasn't even as big as "Kobe" or "They Know" but became this online rallying pt for the cloud rap contingent. dont get me wrong i like the song. but the argument im making for 12hunna's production is that it's kind of central to what he's doing right now, that it helps to organize a disparate selection of loosies if you find the constellation in the tracks & by & large I think 12hunna's sound has been a defining part of the '14-era Keef sound

Not at all opposed to calling him the cis fka twigs though

i tend to agree with that

he's developed a lot since that point IMO...he's less going for brutal than a strange kind of looping disorientation ... idk sucks that the only youtubes has hustlenomics on them but the 4 12hunna tracks off top are 'shooters' 'make it count' 'hundreds' and 'pull up.'

bangbang

I love watching deej in the Keef threads because he treats every 6 months like Keef is moving from Revolver to Sgt. Peps

so much weed consumed, not even 20, funded by big corp. you have to worry for this kid. Saying that new stuff sounding like progression.

"All I Care About" sounds like the Farrah Abraham album

Saying that new stuff sounding like progression.

having a hard time decoding that post.

btw release date was moved back idk til when

for the past 2 years its been a perpetual game of ppl saying he was on the last of his 15 minutes yet he remains one of the only rap rookie able to push out major label albums, has sustained as one of the genre's most popular artists, and has continually evolved as a performer. u write mash notes to marginal heard-by-15-people cassette tape only releases so

has sustained as one of the genre's most popular artists

?? really?

able to push out major label albums

i'll believe it when this supposed second Interscope album actually hits stores tbh

he has been kind of impressively resilient on an "always in the top artists on livemixtapes" level but i mean 2 years ago you were saying keef-branded headphones were gonna be a big christmas list item

i mean but what about guys like drake or macklemore or wayne or like ppl that are actually popular

'actually popular' wtf?

some rappers are more popular than him; most are less

quote me

this is the current livemixtapes top ten:
1. Migos
2. Kevin Gates
3. Gucci Mane
4. Rich Homie Quan
5. Young Thug
6. Young Jeezy
7. Lil Boosie
8. Lil Wayne
9. Chief Keef
10. Yo Gotti

notable that the only guys there that haven't had mainstream radio hits in the last few months are Gucci and Keef (and Kevin Gates, although he's starting to break through to radio right now). Gucci is obviously kind of a unique case, but clearly Keef is hanging onto the mixtape audience better than, like, Ca$h Out or LoveRance or whoever else had one big radio song 2 years ago.

if they weren't going to be extraordinarily overpriced I'd buy you a pair of beats by keef's for xmas next year

lol that was funny but not really what you implied i said

two notes about his lack of chart success: first is that his biggest songs came right before the digital streams were incorporated into charts. second is that i've heard that a lot of radio PDs were shook by the 'chicago violence' negative publicity and wouldn't play his stuff. (Or any of the drill stuff)

in my world of young people chief keef was like all anyone talked about for months around the release of finally rich, i'm genuinely not sure those same people remember who he is anymore

(i know that is not specifically what you're claiming about his popularity but)

oh jeez sorry you just said they'd be on sale and expensive not that people would buy them, is my face red

i remember a few months after "Love Sosa" peaked on the charts i spent a weekend in South Carolina and it was the #1 song on the station down there. it seemed like his stuff kinda spread out regionally and didn't all hit at once. i think he just didn't hit all regions on the same level. he never seemed to make a heavy impact in Baltimore (where Boosie and Gucci and Meek have super strong fanbases).

continued presence at the top of mixtape charts despite lack of radio hits suggests he has a dece hardcore fanbase which is a p cool thing to have and a good place to build from im rating chief keef a strong buy our highest rating

he also routinely gets views in the low millions on youtube for all those random songs he does videos for that i guess weren't even on mixtapes?

Stop trying to make chief kerf happen

cheam kreaf is good af tho

what about crӕm of...nevermind

~35m youtube views

xp

there's a special place in hell for people who do acoustic guitar covers of rap songs

that pitch shifted song he just posted on youtube is p dope

oh jeez sorry you just said they'd be on sale and expensive not that people would buy them, is my face red

im confused about your point. they did release them as i recall

no idea how they sold, not sure you do either

at any rate he's released about 20 singles this year and uploaded them directly to itunes...people are listening to them, the last cut on shmurda/gs9's mixtape is the instrumental to 'pull up,' and at least in chicago he's still the go-to rap dude. also: apparently the 11th-most googled rapper in the country according to google analytics, two spots above kendrick lamar lol

haha ok shows what i know, i had no clue the keef headphones actually came out, n/m

i am on the tinfoil hat squad with deej regarding "hot nigga" rocketing up near the top 10 in the span of like a single month despite it being a rip off chicago rap songs that had mild if any chart or radio success
