C/D: Remy Ma "Conceited (There's Something About Remy)"

I don't see a glaring Beyonce/Missy connection at all. Because she's bragging? Doesn't that make her more like every other rapper that ever existed than just Beyonce and Missy (who really have very little to do with each other in the first place image- and content-wise)?

"Now who's that peakin' in my window / Nobody 'cause I live in a penthouse," is my favorite couplet of the year so far.

Remy IS more real than other female rappers. Or at least capable of exuding a more complex image (same thing, right?).

Is it?

Earnestly, I'm asking. Complex = more real?

New Jeru the Damaja LP

not really! first week chart position was #33. I'm still kind of on the fence about the album, how good it ends up seeming will probably depend on how good other releases this year are.

i love this song, it's exactly the sort of completely generic vaguely-eastern vaguely-crunk stuff i'm a sucker for, and remy herself is even more awesome than on 'whuteva'

[Chorus 2:]
See I look too good to be fuckin' you
And I look too good to be lovin' you
You know I look way too good to be stuck with you
I'm conceited, I got a reason
See I look too good to be gettin whipped
And I look too good to be havin' kids
You know I look way too good to be in a crib
I'm conceited, I got a reason

Every dope track i hear by a female rapper has me like "why didn't ___ get this beat instead?"

Talib Kweli has the same effect.

I wish "afro puffs" was a Snoop or Dogg Pound track.

you're a fucking idiot.

There is room for video sluts, though.

to Al - i guess rumors of True Story bricking were greatly exaggerated - I was under the impression it had bombed.

Uh:

Bronx, New York rapper Remy Ma is being sought in connection with a shooting in Manhattan this morning at 4:00 am.

While details of the shooting are emerging, sources told AllHipHop.com that Remy Ma was in the area of W. 14th Street and Washington Street this morning when she argued with a woman in a blue Escalade.

Police received a 911 call of a person being shot and found an unidentified woman with a gunshot wound to her lower torso.

Sources stated that the woman shot was a part of Remy Ma's entourage and that the two may have argued earlier in the evening at a local bar.

Remy Ma, born Remy Smith, allegedly fled the scene after the shooting and crashed the Escalade a few blocks later, escaping on foot.

Nah, they shoulda took that joint off and put the "business never personal" Neptunes joint on there instead.

this shit is so rong, and so many people think it

Every dope track i hear by a female rapper has me like "why didn't ___ get this beat instead?"

Because "Bitches be fuckin' for tracks" -- RIGHT?

REMY MA IS SO GULLY.
also "concieted" is soooooooooooooooo hard.
i'm assuming everyone's seen the Shesus Christ mixtape cover?

I don't think threads about a rapper's music need to be revived anytime they (allegedly) commit a crime. Just because the media only talks about these people when they're arrested doesn't mean we have to follow suit. Shit isn't really interesting to discuss anyway.

in all seriousness:
if remy goes away for more than 2 years, can we declare female hip-hop dead, or at the very least on a serious fucking hiatus?
lost in this whole crucifix mixtape hoopla is that remy ma was actually putting out a mixtape. none of your foxys/kims/shawnas/trinas etc. are putting out albums, let alone mixtapes.

remy's stonefaced gulliness seconded.

kim and trina aren't all that overdue new material, it'd be nice to hear from one or both this year though.

poor foxy though lol@tumbleweave.

hoping for some more good stuff from rasheeda...'georgia peach' is probably my favourite ho-rap cut since 'b r right'.

Kim is working on a new album due out late this year (or early next year). Normally I'd be excited (<i>Hardcore</i> is a top 10 record of mine), but her latest verses have been kind of meh, and she has recently reunited with Diddy. Seeing as reuninting with Diddy resulted in the worst Mary J Blige album (Love & Life, which isn't bad by any means, just sort of stale), I'm kind of skeptical about the whole thing...

"According to a police source in the Daily News, 'they beat her bad. They ripped out her hair weave. Her hair was a mess – and that seems to be what she cared about most.'"

can't knock the hustle.

also if remy goes away for a while, i'll actually be really sad. "conceited" is one of the most calamitous rap singles of the past two years. no female rapper had swagged that hard since "pull over" imo.

I was really excited about the Remy Ma + Shawnna + Jackie O SUPERGROUP but unfortunately it fell through.. :( Remy Ma rules, I'm glad she left Terror Squad because they were really doing her dirty...

second the supergroup anticipation, even though remy raps circles around those other two. it was also pretty rad that they were on some feminist shit w/r/t the group's formation.

also, if there is anyone gullier than remy ma, it's jackie o.

sadly jacki-o's tracks don't quite match up to her gulliness though

did i hear that trina had a miscarriage recently or was that someone else?

"who's that peekin' in my window? nobody cos i live in a PENTHOUSE"

What do you guys think of her new song "Fresh"?

http://www.zshare.net/audio/15410058c32989/

"I get compliments like MA' YOU FRESH/ And I'm just takin' out tha garbage DAMN I aint even dressed!"

"who's that peekin' in my window? nobody cos i live in a PENTHOUSE"

one of those lines where i distinctly remember exactly where i was when i heard it. i love how she slurs the the l on "live" for half a second... to me it makes the line.

did i hear that trina had a miscarriage recently or was that someone else?

i'm pretty sure it was wayne's baby, but i could be wrong.

re: "fresh"

the beat makes her sound kind of epic and godly (kinda like "we takin over" i think), but i'm not a huge fan of her slow flow.

'fresh' is hott.

going back over old stuff, i was a lot more taken with 'whuteva' last night than i was at the time...those spiralling synths, pretty vertiginous.

remy is probably the best rapper in new york right now

comments on that are better than the clip

Sorry but there's no place in rap for female rhymers. It's wrong on every level.

There is room for video sluts, though.
