and i think that line about "i am the young sis, the beacon" in "212" is shade directed at kid sis ;_;

Yeah I'd say Kid Sister works best as a sonic comparison (the big slab of dancehall influence in Lady Stush separates her from this conversation for me), Lady Sov as an example of where/how her career might go wrong.

I love they say she's not a one trick pony, yet every track she released in 2011 was just her performing on top of a song that already existed. That's exactly ONE trick.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
that's not really a 'trick,' that's just something a lot of new artists do, especially rappers, whether you think that's a valid measure of their talent or creativity or not. obviously that's probably not what she's going to do on her major label album anyway.
― Planned Perrintweet (some dude), Wednesday, 18 January 2012 21:43 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah, I'm sure whatever turns up on her album will be created solely for her with her in the loop of the process. Look forward to it, tbh.

It's not bad, but I feel like I've heard tracks before where it's just somebody chatting up somebody else over a beat. From what I understand, though, this was just made to be runway music.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 January 2012 17:08 (twelve years ago) link
I swooned over "212" too, and notice I really don't have any other nasty female rap on 125-130 BPM house beats, which is a pretty natural environment. Not asking for a derail, but I'd appreciate a few pointers to Bank's precursors.

Some clarification, I'm not looking for more nasty female rap with hip-hop backings, there's no shortage of that. I'm curious about nasty female rap over 125-130 bpm 4-on-the-floor house ala "212".

FWIW, I think AB is interesting because of the ease with which she crossed that ethnic/oceanic divide on "212", though her other tracks lack that tension of syncopated boast over metronomic propulsion.

almost everyone seeks attention in one way or another, so turning "attention seeking" into an accusation is always a proxy for something else, it's like "uppity" or "shrill" - it says a lot about your values and not much about theirs.
