I never read the Gawker piece before. Gotta say, DJ Kenn's story is kind of amazing, somehow more interested in that...

@Dr33mCrush3r Since white people haven't heard of chief keeF I find that unlikely.

kenn is a real interesting dude but i still think keef's is the real story at the end of the day & kenn is a part of that, rather than the other way around. keef's the one who galvanized kids throughout the city and kenn's production talents are notable but not bigger than the wider story about what's happening here.
im worried about hype but only to the degree that it sets unreasonable expectations. but in keef's case, i don't think it's really there... people are interested in his story, where he's from and the songs he's recorded. i dont see why 'hype' would keep him from recording songs like he's done already.
― littledotheyknow (D-40), Monday, 11 June 2012 15:28 (twelve years ago) link
specifically i wanna know more abt this bit:Kenn had planned to spend just a year in the United States, but within ten months of moving to New York, he flew to Chicago. He spoke little-to-no English, and knew nobody in the city; he just knew he wanted to make music. Chief Keef's uncle Keith discovered him walking down the street in Woodlawn (a neighborhood that is 98 percent African American), and found him a place to stay. "He took me to an apartment right there across the street"—Kenn gestures out the front window—"and I stayed over there and started to do music. Keef came through, Santana came through, and we started recording."
― tpp, Monday, 11 June 2012 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
I'm not worried about the hype at all. The man has minor hits, a story to go with them and a production unit with a defined sound. Let's not pretend as if we would be doing him a favor by not listening, writing, talking, quarreling etc. That stuff is plainly hypocritical. This music was made to be heard. If it's out there, it's up for grabs. Keef's objective has never been to become the new Andre 3000. He either makes more hits, more music worth talking about, or he doesn't. End of story. Casting him as some sort of victim to the hype machine is just in bad taste.

omarion joint's ok. pretty much every single off this ross album for the past year and a half has been terrible (although the usher one's aight), kind of hilarious that people 'anticipate' the lp anyway.
― bronytheus (some dude), Thursday, 14 June 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
if Meek keeps up the hit rate from his tapes his album should comfortably be among the best of the year

eh i think that's just holding him to too high a standard. yes he hasn't made any songs as good as "I'ma Boss" or "House Party" in the last 10 months, but it's not like a bunch of other rappers have. and "Lean Wit It" and "Amen" are perfectly good songs to keep it moving with in the meantime.
