it's like saying a guy in a successful band who has short hair "doesn't look like a rock star," feels very outdated to even pretend there's some narrow criteria for looking the part anymore

i think its p interesting that lady gaga and ke$ha aren't what anyone would call traditional "knockouts" like madonna or kylie or whatev

i would say that many successful rappers strike me as 'successful for a reason' even if i dont love their rap style i.e. wiz. berner is like the anti-wiz
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
some people seem like stars, some dont. berner seems to have outgrown his image
― TTDeej (D-40), Monday, 9 May 2011 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah maybe the difference is i couldn't begin to guess or care why most Berner-level rappers are as successful as they are
― raggett doll, livin' in a rovi (some dude), Monday, 9 May 2011 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
the thing with berner is that he picks better beats than your favorite rapper (not assuming your favorite rapper is nas)
― sisilafami, Monday, 9 May 2011 19:04 (thirteen years ago) link
there is kind of a small-scale rick ross thing to him, where hes punching out of his weight class (very much figuratively, obv, in both cases)

nht boyz are my favourite thing in rap right now by a good distance still listen to power triangle more often than any other release from last year. their feel for pop rap & hilarious voices & sense of humour, doesnt get better imo

they are a v well balanced group in terms of goofy fun & realness & silliness & musicality

I checked that Death Grips out. Some interesting things going on, but I just couldn't enjoy it from a production standpoint, way too abrasive for my liking. I realize that's the point, its just too much for me. I did like the tracks; Guillotine, Takyon & Spread Eagle Across The Block, the latter sounds exactly like RZA (voice).

i was trying to think of another song where they didn't really sample but just rapped over the whole track but i can't remember, driving me nuts
axelrod is basically god. man. i just finally got his shit in the last couple years but boy oh boy DJ shadow does not seem quite as impressive after you get axelrod stuff
