Who else is absolutely head-over-heels in love with Uffie?

Uffie! Show us what you can do. So far, so good.

Look how bad she is:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tU1fQ_q8uyo&search=uffie

Maybe she won't suck so bad by the time Pop Montreal comes around so that her 3 song set can go beyond 10 minutes.

I'm liking her twee-rap thing.

straight up bite or homage? I'm pretty sure it was meant to be the the latter, but other disagree.

Oh yeah, that youtube video gives an idea of how awful she is.

goog job they didnt have YOUTUBE and mobiles in the early days of say, jesus and mary chain's live career, i'll just say that much.

Can't imagine having strong feelings about her, other than the sort every other "hot girl" in the world engenders...

HOT CHICK >>> HOT CHIP

In love with "First Love". It's like a ballad-y version of "Pop the Glock" and it's very sweet.

what's the deal with this version of justice's 'the party' that has totally different and better backing music? i had a mislabelled mp3 called 'uffie - first love (radio rip)' but it wasn't that. is it out there?

music isn't for me. she sure is pretty, though.

^lol at chad here, he got jokes

god, i saw dj feadz a couple of weekends ago on the same bill as smith n hack. he was absolutely atrocious. this is horrid music.

I find her delivery to be quite charming

if by 'charming' you mean 'utterly limp and talentless'

This idiot redid "It Takes Two" on the Mr. Oizo album and rewrote the lyrics to say she likes buddha and "sex"

:/ x 1,000,000

I wouldn't let her wrap a fucking burrito for me

Oh wait. It appears "Carmen Castro" did that rap. I haven't gotten to the Uffie one yet. Carry on, thread.

FYI, the Uffie track on this album is 50,000 Leagues Beneath Fucking Stupid too in case there was any doubt.

is 50,000 leagues also the depth at which you would drown her?

goodbye, career (NSFW)

hay guyz where i can download "hen fap (its something i need to have"

i cant find it ANYWHERE :(

ready to uff

How is the act of exposing her shapely ass a bad career move for Uffie?

I like her a lot more after seeing that interview.

This thread started four years ago and yet I've never heard of this Uffie person.

if ke$ha did "steal" uffie's "style", she at least turned it into something profitable? and arguably good

i mean it's hard to make the argument that ke$ha is creatively bankrupt and worthless because she's actually popular -- with uffie on the other hand it's pretty self-evident

not that i really want to hear either's music, but i'll take the one who DOESN'T write music for ironic spank rock fans

pretty much the ke$ha vs uffie relationship can be summarized by the NYT slam of chillwave

It’s annoyingly noncommittal music, backing droopy vocals with impersonal sounds–a hedged, hipster imitation of the pop they’re not brash enough to make.

so basically that argument is that if you aren't reaching for top 40 gold, you're irrelevant? you can appreciate pop sensibilities without watering down your music for the masses. Pop has its place, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing wrong at all with not aspiring to be the next big hype.

Wank$ta isn't worthless because she's popular. She's worthless because she's worthless.

It should be noted that the only Ke$ha track which really bites the Uffie aesthetic is "TiK ToK." The rest of the album is pretty common 2010 pop.

uffie does water her music down, it's just for different people

Pop has its place, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing wrong at all with not aspiring to be the next big hype.

yes but this is uffie's problem & it's the same thing w/ chillwave -- she doesn't have the skills to write popular pop music, so her "pop" music is a lifeless & distanced imitation, and therefore it isn't good

"Pop the Glock" is pretty great.

This is a weird day. I'm actually reassessing my previous position on Uffie and coming around (the video interview above helped), and I'm not holding it against her anymore for sampling F.R. David on "First Love."

she doesn't have the skills to write popular pop music, so her "pop" music is a lifeless & distanced imitation, and therefore it isn't good

we obviously are on two different planets because this view of music makes zero sense to me. There's reference on top of reference of bad examples of popular music. Pop does not neccessarily = good music. I love the diffusion of pop music into something less polished and cookie cutter, which turns this into an argument over aesthetics, I guess.

so what about the inverse? like how traditional pop artists will ape "underground" styles to market to the masses...i.e. Rihanna using dubstep, and the rest of the pop universe's current fixation with electronic music from the past 15 years or so. Does this make those songs inhernetly bad?

And fwiw, most pop stars don't even have the skills to write popular pop music. Their hired guns do all of that.

also, chillwave (or whatever phrase has been forced upon it) is a really fun genre. don't hate.

The point being made isn't that pop music is the best of all genres or that all pop music sounds good. The point being made (assuming I have it correctly) is that Uffie doesn't have what it would take to write good pop music, but what she does shares enough with pop music to open it up to critiques one would apply to pop music, and by those critiques, she sucks.

dan has it pretty much right

uffie does water her music down, it's just for different people

exactly! she's not playing by the American Idol standard of good pop music (thank god). no one is claiming Uffie is the next big thing or even should be. Wank$ta and Uffie are playing to two totally different audiences.

she's not playing by the American Idol standard of good pop music (thank god).

Whereas Ke$ha totally is!

Your ire would probably be better focused if your argument wasn't "stop making fun of my magic pony"

well uffie is forced too because she couldn't play to the audience (i.e. a large one) that ke$ha can -- & more importantly what people who go to steve aoki's parties value in pop music is not what i value (i.e. ironic distance)

i can't believe anyone would defend uffie

Like I said, it's a question of aesthetics. And please don't bring irony into this. I've never listened to music with an ironic ear.

ya but you guys are acting like limp, detached would-be pop is an automatic dud, which it isn't at all. pop(py) music doesn't have to be brash, big and bold and you don't have to be ironic to like it when it isn't. if anything uffie is a bad seed, (although i will shamelessly stan "the party" until i die) and you guys are acting like this is a universally acknowledged pillar of good-music taste.

"Pop the Glock" is pretty great.

yes but if you're a privileged white person who calls a song "pop the glock" you are a. pandering to an ironic audience b. exposing a desire for boldness & brashness

& that song is the work of someone who has very limited talent & can't write bold & brash songs (even tho she clearly wants to be that) so she does the detached & ironic schtick

she was nice!

listening to MCs Can Kiss for 1st time. not bad...apart from her!

ok, i don't like 'pop the glock' but do you think if the lyrics and song title were any different you'd like it more? or it would be less worthy of reproach? it seemed like a minute ago you were knocking it for not going full-on pop, but is that what makes you think it's aspiring to go there?

the Starkey remix is badass.

please do not conflate clarifying someone's argument with supporting/advancing someone's argument

i like songs in the same mode as 'pop the glock' is what i'm trying to say, and i don't think it's that unaffected pose that's really what makes it not work-it's something else

it was called "pop the top" & was about pringles i think i would like it more

sorry btw

the thing is, there are chillwave songs that are decent melodically but a bit boring because they don't ever step out of that moody, stagnant haze. they're good songs fallen prey to a boring aesthetic/production choice. even though 'pop the glock' bears some similarity in songwriting mode, it's actually just an atrocious song, and doesn't deserve to be included in an argument against detached pop because it's shit on a more fundamental level.

chillwave problem = overly drab/glum vocals, sometimes the music equivalent of HDR photography (fine when done well but all too easy to do badly)...whatever some of it sounds brilliant
uffie problem = just not good at rapping

she was nice!

Uffie's very own 'Amazon'! God this is brilliant. Mirwais on the production supposedly.

Full tracklist of the album is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Dreams_and_Denim_Jeans

1. "Pop the Glock" (Feadz)
2. "Art of Uff" (SebastiAn)
3. "ADD SUV" (Feat. Pharrell Williams) (Mirwais)
4. "Give It Away" (Feadz & J-Mat)
5. "MC's Can Kiss" (Mr. Oizo)
6. "Difficult" (SebastiAn)
7. "First Love" (Mr. Oizo)
8. "Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans" (Mirwais)
9. "Our Song" (Feadz & Mr Oizo)
10. "Illusion Of Love" (Feat. Mattie Safer) (Mirwais & Uffie)
11. "Neuneu" (Mr. Oizo)
12. "Brand New Car" (Feadz)
13. "Hong Kong Garden" (Mirwais)
14. "Ricky" (Mirwais)

ricky's been the soundtrack to my weekend. so gassed for the new songs!

some very complicated ways of saying "i don't like this" going on upthread

what exactly is the sound/idea that Uffie invented and Ke$ha stole anyway? is it possible to patent white girls rapping in AutoTune? seems like the kind of thing that was gonna happen in multiple unrelated instances no matter what, to stretch the concept of "great minds think alike" to its breaking point.

Uffie didn't invent anything, that ridiculous exchange upthread is basically about who does the schtick better. I chose the girl with the better producers and tracks, while the opposition sided with Kesha simply because they don't like Uffie. I think there's more to why people hate the Uff so much, but I don't really care to explore that. That said, can't wait for those SebastiAn tracks!

find the real pop vs fake pop thing totally baffling and ridiculous

as do I. it's beyond irrelevant.

So the album has leaked by all accounts.

The Pentagon was notified immediately.

lolz!

I can't be the only one who doesn't care what her intentions were in recording this and think it's simply a very good pop record right? The plastic and shiny Siouxsie cover, the really inspired use of the VU tune ("Uh... but I bet it wasn't her who came up with the idea... because she's a posh white girl... and they're like the worst people ever... boo hoo!") MCs Can Kiss is fucking baddass. Pop The Glock was always pretty weak... there are much better tracks on the album. ADD SUV is a bit flat but there's no way this album is as bad as a lot of people are making out.

One thing though: the sample from 'First Love', mega obvious but I can't place it. It's one of those massive 80s power ballads like 'Waiting For A Star To Fall'. Except it isn't. What is it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yZITVBBXQ

Cheers.

What a tepid bunch of songs. This would've been a decent album from a newbie, but she's had too much time to come up with something much more coherent and ground-breaking. Even the album cover hints at her fear of success. She totally missed her window and let the rest of these women beat her to the punch. Officially over it until further notice.

super dope remixes of ADD SUV though.

"Wordy Rappinghood" is the upcoming single by French-American electronic artist, Uffie. The single is produced by fellow label-mate DJ Mehdi and will be released on April 18, 2011 through Ed Banger Records, Because Music and Elektra Records.

Man, I forgot how much I love "MCs Can Kiss."

i wish uffie had the career that iggy azalea has. "difficult" is an extremely simple and insipid song but it's a masterpiece.

are u 'absolutely head-over-heels in love with Uffie'

no. but i was there in 2008, in a freshman dorm listening to THHE PAARTYY and arguing with people who said she was a "bad rapper". i said her terribleness was in the service of a greater aesthetic whole.

Uffie is not about that industry life. That's kinda what "Difficult" is about...

totally

I'm the worst at this game
You don't want to play me
If I lose, I go down
You're going down with me
If I win, you know bitch
That it's all about me
I'm difficult

i think when iggy azalea says stuff like "first thing's first i'm the realest," she's being deliberately provocative because she knows she is inauthentic according to the traditional metrics of hip hop. however, she's coy about it, and never deliberately admits that she doesn't give a shit about their standards the way uffie does when she says "don't worry if i write rhymes, i write checks." that's what i was thinking with the iggy/uffie comparison

ya, 'difficult' is great

the traditional metrics of hip hop. however, she's coy about it, and never deliberately admits that she doesn't give a shit about their standards the way uffie does when she says "don't worry if i write rhymes, i write checks."

bold statement against the hip-hop orthodoxy from free-thinker Uffie here

Is Uffie that french girl who sounds like Ke$ha? I used to have instrumental version of her songs because I liked the backing track but hated her.

Yeah it's her....

I don't know if he always uses the same ed banger producer (is it Feadz?) but I do love the backing tracks. For example I youtube'd her and I love the remix of Wordy Rappinghood on the back but she is super annoying and ruins it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtB0il5yMjg

I kind of feel the same way about Glass Candy (love the backing tracks, not too fond of the voice) but the Glass Candy singer doesn't feel nearly as pretentious.

I would have thought uffie would have gone into the memory hole by now

how could anyone forget her classic Hen Fap (It's Something That I Need To Have)

Uffie was the opposite of pretentious. She was an unskilled rap-talker (and sometimes singer) and self-aware of this fact. It was usually her detractors who sounded pretentious in their criticism. She made of-the-moment party rap for the indie crowd. She wasn't trying to compete with Nas for best lyricist.

God, that sounds like the beginnings of a eulogy.

uffie does when she says "don't worry if i write rhymes, i write checks."

uffie says this???

ppl are really picking uffie as their warrior against the authenticity-industrial complex

"don't worry if i write rhymes / i write checks" is a phrase i use kind of a lot irl. you can really use it to deflect almost any criticism

u realise... diddy said that before her?
