Fetty Wap

Because there's sufficient reason to hope that Trap Queen isn't a one hit wonder and because even if it is it deserves a thread

hey

wassup

hello

this is one of those songs that everytime i listen to it i wonder why i listen to anything else
cf snootie wild "made me"

love that this gets followed immediately alphabetically on my playlists by Fifth Harmony's BO$$

going to listen to this song while making pie for family get-together this weekend

This song is such a sugar rush for me

stick it in your pie

xpost

Seems weird to have a whole thread about him but ok

yeah.

you hear my boy sounding like a zillion bucks on the thread.

i got whatever on my boy.

whatever.

put your money where your mouth is.

money under wood make the game go good.

money out of sight cause fights.

put up or shut up.

uh!

wikipedia sez he has a mixtape coming sometime soon; if he doesn't flame out completely between him and kyrie irving north jersey will have some solid cultural ambassadors imo

related: I listened to this 6 times at work today

the other songs on his soundcloud sound good

yeah.

"trap queen" is the most euphorically romantic song i've heard in, like, a decade or more

one of my favourite days this year was when this happened https://twitter.com/alex_macpherson/status/569602545183809537

You KNOW a song's good if it can help lex cook

money under wood make the game go good

trap queen is classic obv i'm curious how much depth he has as a rapper, solid ear for hooks IMO

snootie wild vs. fetty wap?

personally i think snootie is more talented but fetty's hit is better

this song makes a good companion to "that's what i'm looking for" by da brat

This is the best song.

"uh i think you mean ON the wood not"

thanks for clearing that up, i was really just guessing, hard to tell what he's saying and i never heard the phrase before

this song is amazing except the parts with the rapping

the hook obviously drives the whole thing but the raps have grown on me

I'm pretty sure he just means the middle verse in which case he's totally otm

^yeah

this is a great song but let's come back to earth

My KISS-FM station plays this a ton now, and it's always weird hearing a song this descriptive about coke cooking between Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran or whatever

this is a great song but let's come back to earth

There are so many records over the past few years that if the new rules for billboard and labels like 300 existed would have been this big that never got the shot

"212" would've been a huge hit

I'd take Made Me over Trap Queen but both are great.

I'll agree with that.

joc pederson of the LA Dodgers uses this as his walkup music, excellent choice by yung joc

love this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhtHNprPtF8

yeah that's dope

this one is dope

I see your point but I JUST MIGHT SNATCH A FERRARI

i actually like the version with the shitty verse better if only b/c it breaks up the rest of it nicely

i know it's been posted already but this is basically the greatest thing in the world

there's a version without that verse?

yeah it used to be on itunes but they deleted it after they released the new version w/ the verse lol

it's still here and maybe other smaller stores tho https://us.7digital.com/artist/fetty-wap/release/trap-queen/

it's also on the mixtape if you don't mind the dj noises

Ah...have never heard anyone play that version

http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/t_article_image/tkfbspwukvvlq2hsrubg.jpg

new verses not great but cover is something

iTunes has one w A. Banks on it too?

Super weird remix. No chemistry at all wtf.

Was never really a rappity rap song to begin with so yeah

More of a wappity wap song tbh

Karaoke parts >*

crazy that a remix featuring a verse from a guy who's been in jail for two years has no chemistry

i wonder if Gucci just sat in the booth and did a verse to every possible BPM that a rap hit could be in. "ok, there's an 86 BPM verse, let's go to 87."

The guy who's been in jail for two years isn't the main problem here, believe it or not. His parts could easily be excused.

tbf all rap songs are like one of three bpms

these days

azealia banks on it is cringeworthy tho

The closest thing we have to a rap station here has JUST NOW started playing this and with the middle rap verse excised (but with the shouty dude at the end intact heh). Good god.

The really weird thing about that is it means the actual chorus only appears once in the version they play.

Garfield window cling chorus

the chorus not getting repeated at the end is really frustrating to me, in all versions

Should I see this guy at a club tomorrow night? I have doubts about whether he'll be any good, and whether he will show up

Why wouldn't he good? I'd definitely go.

it's not a real jam until your weird colleague catches you singing it imo

that and singing falsetto in the shower are the tpp litmus tests

So apparently Danish rapper Sukker Lyn [Sugar Lightning] purchased exclusive rights to the beat used on "Trap Queen" from Tony Fadd in 2014 and made a song with it - song wasn't released though. In February 2015 Tony Fadd offered 5500 dollars to buy back the rights to the beat from Sukker Lyn who refused the offer, since the beat now held sentimental value for the rapper.

So anyway, Sukker Lyn is now suing Tony Fadd... I feel like the Jay Z philosophy of hit samples apply - Sukker Lyn made it an unreleased track with sentimental value, Fetty Wap made it a smash.

Here's a link to the story in Danish, you can probably googletranslate it if you like http://gaffa.dk/nyhed/96191

https://vine.co/v/eq5DLlbpWh5

Shit, didn't see that forks.

Still the Lebron test is one of the main arbiters of when a vinyl rap hit crosses to mainstream. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq0bjYjejqU

Here's me thinking this had something to do with Why does Kanye say "WE WANT HEN FAP!" in Golddigger? from back in the day...

it's something that you need to have

i definitely want to hear "Ung og Fri" now.

They are re-releasing the album next week including "Ung og fri" [Young and free]. According to this story, their lawyer had initially advised them not to release the track but others have suggested they have a stronger case if they release the track http://gaffa.dk/nyhed/96222

http://sevenscribes.com/in-defense-of-trap-queen-as-our-generations-greatest-love-song/

this is really good

yeah that's a solid read.
I like the comparison to REM's "The One I Love" which rings true.

great essay

late to this thread, but it's just an amazing song which has grown on me loads in the last week.

okay lol (via one of my college friends):

http://verysmartbrothas.com/trap-queen-and-other-black-songs-white-people-love-waaaaaaay-more-than-we-do/

Black and White people formed a united front to not let diggity happen.

haha

the disclaimer made me lol hard

***Before I continue; Do I have to really say that I don’t actually mean all White people but rather a particular segment of White people you know I’m referencing? I know I don’t, but I will anyway. I don’t actually mean ALL white people but rather a particular segment of White people you know I’m referencing. Now let us mourn our expropriated jams***

omg the John Legend one

idek who Chrissy Teigen is other than JL's wife

(possible that John Legend doesn't either)

listened to "Trap Queen" last week when dayo posted essay on fb and yeah, i dont get it

i did intuit what a bando is tho

“This is How We Do It”
Nothing quite tells the bar “we about to play some hip hop” like DIS IS HOW WE DU-EEEEHT. And , when this happens, White people lose their (collective) shit. I seent it. I would make the argument that White people aint check for nothing else Montell did but hey, neither did Black people.

a lol of too much recognition here

it is hard to imagine "trap queen" as one of these songs given its lack of profile over here but at the same time it is all too easy to imagine it :/

wtf, it's not even as though this song's lyrics are that hard to make out...?

i definitely want to hear "Ung og Fri" now.

ahahahahahahahahaha i just looked this up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I57hMWYhpRI

um

worth adding to the unreleased singles here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89SHOqW3lfU

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/arts/music/fetty-waps-tweaked-sound-yields-hit-in-trap-queen.html

After some time in the booth running through different vocal approaches, Fetty Wap is tired. He tells Baauer: “I know how I want that track to sound, and that’s not how I want it to come out. I ain’t going to half-step it,” adding, “My engineer, he got my voice already.”

Baauer replies, “Can we text him and see what kind of plug-ins he has on you?” asking about the technological tweaks added to a sound during recording.

“I’ll call,” Fetty Wap says. “He probably not going tell you, though.”

wtf apparently "679" got itunes-released and is already charting pretty darn well (top 20 on billboard now). anyone heard it on radio yet? why isn't "my way" on itunes? (i danced to it @ work today.)

Three songs in the top 20. o___O

https://instagram.com/p/5mJBk1pcrP/

i am wondering if "my way" is past its sell by date or just gonna bubble for awhile

"my way" def has ~commercial life~ in it still, i think radio is still gonna be playing it basically the rest of summer (tho i doubt it will cross to pop stations much if at all -- not that he needs to, thank goodness), plus he might have a video and the drake remix might get dropped on itunes in hopes of katy perrying the top of the charts or something

in my heart its jam status is eternal ofc

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLF8_3_UEAQoXcb.jpg

Just heard "My Way" on a station that I don't think was playing it previously yesterday, which doesn't surprise me at all.

http://www.papermag.com/2015/08/rip_trap_queen_4222014_-_83201.php

yahhh, I just retired it from my dj sets a couple weeks ago

well you lot may be over it but it's just come on the cab I'm in and ive asked the driver to turn it up. feel like it's the 50s with jazz and science fiction liberation of austerity trapped uk.

delayed curve of popularity to meme weariness of course. i give it to october.

go fet a wapman

he now has 4 songs in the top 40, two of which are sitting in the top 10 and another that is approaching that region rapidly. O_o

("again" got released to itunes prob b/c it gets streamed a lot on youtube/soundcloud... idk if it will be on the radio eventually or what)

also his album comes out in a month? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/fetty-wap-years-top-newcomer-dominates-rap-pop-33059860

i'm really relieved they finally gave his album a release date, it was starting to feel like the label was gonna let this moment he's having slip away

'again' rolls seamlessly off the conveyor belt into the brain

untitled album should be called 'life in 1738' obv

i actually really really like monty and dicey, does anyone concur

I think the album should be called "Yaaaaaaaaah"

http://www.npr.org/2015/09/21/442241983/first-listen-fetty-wap-fetty-wap

hahaha npr

LANGUAGE ADVISORY: This album contains profanity.

20 tracks!

can we all agree that Fetty Wap's debut album does not need to be nearly 80 minutes long

well let me listen to it first

hahaha npr

too long a tracklist but def solid. many surprisingly good beats. looking forward to spending more time w/ it.

I like this Fetty Wap album. Lazy title though.

i've been trying to think of the last time a high-profile rapper released a self-titled album...might've been Rich Boy, which was 8 years ago

NPR also did preview streams of Miguel and Vince Staples, i'm very used to it

http://fusion.net/story/202385/trap-queen-fetty-wap-receipts-1738/

definitely have questions about how this can be sustained over 20 tracks but thus far it's a lot of fun with scattered moments of poignance, which is fine by me

"My Way" turned me against this dude's voice, but there are a few songs on here that sound like strong singles candidates. Overall it sounds like a best-case scenario for a 77-minute Fetty Wap album

I mean he does howl a lot, but he puts that howl to good use.

the row-row-row-your-boat effect of the background vocals trailing half a bar behind the main vocal on "My Way" really drives me insane, i might enjoy the song if not for that

the version i downloaded like 2 months ago and the version that was playing on the radio here until just recently didn't have those. they just showed up on the radio version one day, it was weird.

this just landed in my inbox and man, what the fuck do fetty's people have against omi?

"In the past 3 months, Fetty has seeded close to 4 million stations on Pandora, more than 8x that of OMI (In fact, only Drake has had more Stations seeded than Fetty Wap so far this year, with Miss Swift coming in a close third). As for social, Fetty added about a million new followers on Instagram, close to half his total, and 17x that of OMI. And while Fetty’s prowess on Instagram is well known, OMI also lags on Facebook and Twitter."

pissed about not being able to unreservedly claim "song of the summer" i guess

#prayforfetty

oh man that sucks

he's okay, just beat up
http://www.people.com/article/fetty-wap-motorcycle-crash-report

but the extent of his injuries are unclear,

I listened to "Trap Luv" about 20 times today.

I think "Time" might be my next obsession tho

the hook for "time" is so bizarre, love it

fetty without the hooks is a sad and unnecessary thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWmjMhFBuQw

here's that real fuego tho

honestly feel like fetty in all his arresting carpe diem charm kinda stole the ideological show in his brief spot on ty's album. (if i couldnt see the future i'd even make a taking sides poll maybe)

guess the world will probs cast him aside and go on to clown him/itself now but cherish the 2015 mvp forever imo, hope he bucks the odds

anyone ever notice he kinda looks like papoose dressed pirates of the caribbean

ny ain't dead it's in disguise

i wrote whatever on my boy: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/2015-the-year-of-fetty-wap

all good and true sense

much as i'm fond of him the ventured closing proposition just seems too fanciful tho for me, i can't see the same creative development in him like t-pain etc. fetty's genius is more on like a bubblegum ramones forever tip

https://soundcloud.com/harlem_fetty/fetty-wap-ft-monty-merry-xmas

uh oh.

instant classic

this remix from some Milwaukee friends has grown on me a lot: https://soundcloud.com/sirenmke/trap-queen-re-fix-prod-chris-siegel

we wish you a fetty christmas and a happy zoo year

really enjoyed your piece on fetty some dude

girl you shine brighter than a diamond i sweeeeeeaaar
and if you like it can be christmas all yeeeeeeeaar
a merry christmas to you
we're all in love with christmas it's true
and all i want for christmas is you
i said
all i want for christmas is you

thx brad!

are we really worried about fetty practically parodying himself when he already signed off on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvHYWD29ZNY

that's a hammerhead shark and a christmas song is the definitive great white imo

self-titled album is fuckin good. im ready for a fetty resurgence.

most of what he does is at least okay. i've been following more or less since trap queen.

"rgf island" is a classic

Can't believe Trap Queen is 10 yowzer
