elle varner doesn't shout though? and it's not that kind of shoutiness i'm talking about. i'm not even really talking about shoutiness. i'm talking about r&b that would get played in my old street dance class.

Totally get where Lex is coming from re: the need for bangers, and I agree on principal, I just don't think Dawn's are very good. Also that "I'm going mutant on these niggas / cowabunga!" line is pretty much just a rejected Drake line.

Drake's biggest problem isn't that he says stupid things, it's that his voice is one of the most unpleasant sounds known to man

cf nicki's success when she says equally stupid shit but it sounds amazing
― lex pretend, Monday, 17 September 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
I think Drake is actually marginally improving as a rapper, while Nicki is regressing into a louder, schtickier version of what Drake used to be, but that's another conversation

Cosign the need for those three bangers but at the same time I wish the same level of thought had gone into the production on those bangers as on everything else. The beats feel a lot more off-the-shelf than the rest of the album.

Goldenheart is like a modern-day Joan of Arc. Think of it like medieval times-cum-2045 or Lancelot and Guinevere in 3025.
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 09:19 (eleven years ago) link
86 is lovely. Kind of love how explicit her love for Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel are. And that between he and Wynter Gordon's Stimela that R&B is where their influence is most strongly felt in 2012.

Damn, lex, that's a terrific interview. The best part is you can tell she was unaccustomed to being confronted by a reporter who knows and loves her music to such an extent.
