haha, yeah, no surprises there. And I could see a lesser rapper doing the same thing coming across like a rapping Jhene Aiko or something, but I think Dej pulls it off and makes the contrast between hard words and soft rhymes work for her without leaning on it as a shtick

NehruvianDOOM pushing DBR close now. Listening to the new Migos with peaked interest. RTJ2 is dated masculinity trope

tbh Noz should have written this a year ago (and kind of did on twitter) but at least someone put it together
That is one misleading headline there.
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Friday, 20 February 2015 23:28 (nine years ago) link
is it? I think it's pretty appropriate considering his argument
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 20 February 2015 23:29 (nine years ago) link
& the arguments everyone has been having about 'appropriation'
Sure, the headline works once the reader connects the dots and yes, we technically SHOULD be doing that when reading anything but otoh, there's gotta be a more appropriate headline considering he mentions Iggy once and briefly at that but I guess he's gotta chase the clicks
― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Friday, 20 February 2015 23:36 (nine years ago) link
ppl say 'gotta chase the clicks' like it's a new thing & folks haven't been complaining about headlines forever
― deej loaf (D-40), Saturday, 21 February 2015 00:21 (nine years ago) link
If I change "clicks" to, I dunno, "eyeballs", it doesn't change a thing about what I said.

idk i think he's a talented producer. his vocal work always verges on the boundary between biting/originality that creates a really alienating level of animosity for some people
i'm cool with travis
― nose, Saturday, 21 February 2015 01:39 (nine years ago) link
'boundary'
― deej loaf (D-40), Saturday, 21 February 2015 04:02 (nine years ago) link
and you must mean 'talented co-producer'
Mike Dean being down w Kanye & this guy & J. Prince being down w Drake is so weird

v good article
it's a stretch to call scott's ripoff-o-rama "offensive," but it's definitely lame. in a vacuum, it's pretty laughable given the obviousness of his antecedents that any label would try and tout him as some kinda gamechanger, but that's where shit has fallen to I spose
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 21 February 2015 16:53 (nine years ago) link
I will say "upper echelon" is a pretty good song but mostly for the beat and its guest verses (esp. the T.I. one)
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 21 February 2015 16:54 (nine years ago) link
actually who the fuck am I kidding thinking that a label wouldn't in the past have pushed a third-rate cudi/drake/kanye clone (replace with any past equivalent), lol
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 21 February 2015 16:56 (nine years ago) link
so he's the Candlebox of rap

exactly!

rodeo is an incredibly mediocre album, not that that's surprising, although it's not quite the complete garbage fire I expected

I like "Antidote"
― Evan R, Wednesday, 23 December 2015 16:39 (eight years ago) link
I have a visceral reaction against his flow on that track
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 23 December 2015 16:41 (eight years ago) link
yeah his rapping is miserable in a Wiz Khalifa, grin and bear it sort of way. But I like the hook a lot
― Evan R, Wednesday, 23 December 2015 16:45 (eight years ago) link
antidote is a good hook
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 25 December 2015 04:17 (eight years ago) link
i might not mind how much the hook is a "no type"/"drinks on us" bite if he didn't go so far as to reference "no type" on a verse
― i got a really big steen, and they need some really big zings (some dude), Friday, 25 December 2015 07:45 (eight years ago) link
idk man keeping ur guard up even for dumb hooks seems a p equal gift/curse split at the end of the day
― r|t|c, Friday, 25 December 2015 08:19 (eight years ago) link
if i knew what a "night show" was referring to i'd probably dismiss antidote w/o qualms too but instead i mildly enjoy the innocent suggestion of 1950s drive ins and planetaria and whatnot
― r|t|c, Friday, 25 December 2015 08:27 (eight years ago) link
lol i have 'white iverson' in the enjoyably abysmal category too tho so never mind me
― r|t|c, Friday, 25 December 2015 08:29 (eight years ago) link
all the "night show" talk just makes me wonder if he's also doing rap concert matinees on his tour
― i got a really big steen, and they need some really big zings (some dude), Friday, 25 December 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link
antidote is such a nothing blah hook imo, not feeling it all

Looking for "a great verse"? Ha.

the new wiz song is such a hilariously blatant "antidote" rip off https://soundcloud.com/wizkhalifa/bake-sale-ft-travis-scott

ive heard good things about "goosebumps"
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 October 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
"pick up the phone" is prob my fav song of the year but i don't consider it a travis scott song really
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 October 2016 16:13 (seven years ago) link
hmm goosebumps sounds pretty shitty... what are the decent ones j crunch
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 October 2016 16:16 (seven years ago) link
i just listened to sdp interlude and first take (lol) which weren't bad... i guess maybe this is like views where this is pretty decent if you delete all the songs that aren't r&b

'Pick up the phone' recently coalesced for me as song of the year, too. closest thing to the 'yrn' beat he's been on since?

yrn really up there with faust arp and caucasiti (demo) huh
