I like Clams, up to a point, but he's definitely better suited to Lil B than ASAP

he sounds like he's 13
Yeah, being all dismissive and dickish about it is nagl.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 4 November 2011 21:50 (twelve years ago) link
His songs SOUND reallllly bad imo.
I'm with Clams on that one. Audio fidelity is not what he's about and he was obviously being besieged by bitrate nerds
― Number None, Friday, 4 November 2011 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
With the type of beats he makes, audio fidelity should be a concern.

I'm with Number None on this one.
― pandemic, Friday, 4 November 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link
idk enough about purposefully abrasive music but i think you can make abrasive, low quality sounding beats... in high fidelity, as opposed to just having shit bitrates. idk not that it matters to me and it's obv part of clams' appeal to lots of ppl.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
those people are dumb
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Friday, 4 November 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
if its part of your aesthetic, then make it sound distorted, but then release it in high bitrate so we can determine if its 'aesthetic' or 'laziness' bcuz i highly suspect the latter
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Friday, 4 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but when you consider the fact that youtube is Lil B's primary release platform bitrate doesn't really come into it
― Number None, Friday, 4 November 2011 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah definitely, just that when you hear a clams song on ASAPs tape right next to another one thats done right, the difference is apparent and distracts from the overall quality of the project.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 4 November 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
my biggest problem is that - afaict - clams is total one-trick pony.

truth bomb i said the same thing earlier today

is the trick searching Limewire
― The Uncanny Frankie Valley (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 4 November 2011 22:57 (twelve years ago) link
i'm no clams stan by any stretch of the imagination but i think he less of a one trick pony and more a guy w/ a "sound". his good beats all sound similar but i don't think they all rely on the same trick.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 November 2011 23:04 (twelve years ago) link
tbh after whiney said it was basically like PM Dawn beats i can't really hear it any other way

xp i think fresh prob sampled it more than once even, SOS/Jam and Lewis was like his core inspiration for a year or two there. he's moved away from that tho

i love Jeezy's voice. some days i almost feel like he could guest on a High on Fire album

i really like the new gibbs but i'll tell u what, when jeezy's voice hits that record its a charisma/energy explosion

I find this hard to believe tbh. But since he samples random mp3s on limewire, at least some of his sources are likely to be shitty bitrates anyway.

Clams tweet to me is kinda like when Skyler said she was doing Bettiche's (sp?) books in Quicken on Breaking Bad...seems too stupid to be true!

― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
i don't see how it has anything to do w/ clipse
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
Critics were unified in their backhanded dismissals of kreays "skills" but the phenomena of her getting 23 mill youtube hits and driving traffic for tons of readers was unavoidable.asap rocky has no more than a mil. hits on any song, big fader features and the internets busiest music critic describing his multitude of influences
― AFAP Raggett (D-40), Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
there isn't even remotely close to the critical fandom for rocky as there were for clipse
you finding one random blog that no one has ever heard of or will ever hear from again calling asap "the nirvana of rap" isn't even remotely close to what was happening w/ the clipse circa 06 -- the whole comparison is just backwards
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 5 November 2011 19:08 (twelve years ago) link
asap has important ppl behind him in the industry and in the upper reaches of the press, but that's about it. neither of those two things was true about the clipse.
yeah a lot of this convo is about overnight success, lack of groundwork, focus on the rapper's eye-catching image/videos, getting signed off one song and a couple months of hype, things that don't really apply to the clipse
