KREAYSHAWN - GUCCI GUCCI

the thread where you all submit to the jam of the summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4

girl just signed for a mill http://www.missinfo.tv/index.php/kreayshawn-signs-million-dollar-deal-off-of-one-hit-gucci-gucci/

Her mom played guitar for the Trashwomen:

*submits*

Hated it the first few times... but finally gave in and submitted my will over to it, CRACK. Its all so wonderfully juvenile and care-free.

She kinda looks like Marissa Tomei.

kinda, but then you kinda owe marissa an apology

is the deal for just wayne or garth too

i think garth is going to be relegated to memph bleek duties, tho that could be worse

Well yah, Marissa=9.5 vs Kreyshawn=6. But still... kinda.

and v-nasty can be her earl

she does some cool things lyrically on this too -- the "coop"/"coupe" pun that went over my head the first few times, switching up her flow a lil bit

also succeed for being neither too juvenile nor too serious -- disses involving arby's & kitty litter balanced out by "you can catch me serving me fiends by the golden gate / bridge"

ive played this every time ive been in the car this wkend

still trying to figure out why the inauthenticity works for her -- i think it's cuz you can tell she's seriously into rap

CRUNCH OTM

i'm colder than the fridge and the freezer / i'm snatchin up your bitches at my leisurrrrrrrrre

said this already in the gun sounds thread, but girl here did this during a roach gigz set i saw back in march. p fly

she does some cool things lyrically on this too -- the "coop"/"coupe" pun that went over my head the first few times

cmon son...

lol

yea otm abt neither overly juvenile nor serious/hard -- too much in either way and shes either asher roth or idk da brat

still dont like this but my fav couplet & the songs realest moment is

I'm yelling "Free V-Nasty" 'til my throat is raspy
Young, rich and flashy I be where the cash be

wish the whole thing was written in this solid & mean relentless flow and not "lookin like madonna flossin like ivana/trump"--mb its just what i look for in a woman idk

Her flow really reminds me of Das Racist, for some reason. I know that's not universally thought of as a good thing but it works for me.

Lee-zhurrrrrrr is the best bit.

I kind of hated this at first but it's been insanely stuck in my head for like two weeks now. I woke up this morning with "number 2, super size, hurry up I'm starving" going over and over in my half conscious brain.

her mate with the glasses looks a bit awkward.

v nice bassline

kinda jungley

best bit imo is "the editor, director, plus i'm my own boss" -- inflection at the end is just dope & memorable

there seems to be some kind of an interview with her here
http://kingdrake.com/blog/kreayshawn-interview-52111

(sry)

was talking about this w/ whiney (natch) on im & ppl saying that video is vice mag / hipster are kinda offtm ... shes like a circa '03 hipster (I mean, she proudly listens to 'brazillian booty music') which is basically pretty entrenched throughout pop culture now ... wiz khalifa fans dress like that, the vice aesthetic is pretty deep into pop culture all over now. whiney called her a 'scene kid.'

pop culture now pop culture now pop culture now

pop culture all over now

sauce all over me

sarai >>>>

^^^fuckin' guy

i like this line, sorry

she has definitely internalized the lacrate legacy

its a hot line, well executed imo. i think he was prob 'rme' about you not getting what she did there when its like, a remedial slow burner lol

the production is dope yeah -- the drums & bass that come in halfway thru the verses are key

its a hot line, well executed imo. i think he was prob 'rme' about you not getting what she did there when its like, a remedial slow burner lol

right -- well it took ppl weeks to get lil wayne's lasagna joke, so i think i'm excused

still lol when i think of real gs move in silence

she doesn't code as vice hipster to me -- i think she comes off distinctly as 'young person from la/oakland'

feel like that line cut thru a lot of baggage that was keeping me from appreciating wayne & deserves dap for that alone

it's a great line

'nails posh so fierce with the gold gloss' is my fav

would be 'lookin like madonna but i'm flossin like ivana' if she didn't say '...TRUMP!' afterward.

song's sort of like lil b for me, though, where i will never listen to the song on my computer without watching the video along with it

needs lil b on the remix

you've seen that rare vid of them smoking a blunt right?

yes -- also she directed "insane", one of my secrete fav lil b videos

ya his beads are majestic in that vid

haha i like 'trump'

so shes been signed to a million dollar 360 deal with sony

yeah, which is a bad deal most of the time but there are instances where it might make more sense; they front you a bunch of money, you gamble on succeeding. kreayshawn is one artist where it seems like a stronger bet than it would for WFF, who could just bank off of a growing grassroots of street CDs; if kreayshawn is gonna pop its going to be as a pop artist, not as a rapper grinding out mixtapes every couple of months. shes broke -- still does video directing to pay rent! -- so i makes sense to do the sink-or-swim career approach, capitalize now

i mean, ostensibly it does. not sure which artists have succeeded w/ the 360 deal yet

nah anyone signing a 360 is a sucker, especially if they have any kind of buzz that ensures they'll be offered a deal from more than one place

also "million dollar deal" isn't as impressive as it sounds considering that that number represents the budget for the whole project, and that's like the bare minimum it takes to release an album

This song is so great... So many great lines....wasn't keen on the earlier stuff at all though. Not an *obvious* act to throw monies at.

In the interview she says this was the first time she tried making a song, before she was just goofing off. Seems like an obvious talent to their money at to me, in that she has obv distinctive star power, with the large caveat that it also seems like a p big risk - of course, ten years ago we wouldn't have thought twice

Al might be right re 360s, if she could have gotten a better deal idk

'young person from la/oakland'

two very different types, IMO

At least she didn't get a PS3

shes more young person from oakland, the video was shot in LA & she moved to LA three months ago

there is a large crossover, even now

i love that she's a max b stan

theres a pic somewhere of her meeting dame grease

i saw her refer to him as her godfather

doesn't nicki minaj have a 360 deal?

if kreayshawn's voice was a little less...nasal, i think i could love this unreservedly (as opposed to just love it quite a lot). i mean it's always in my head so there you go i suppose.

this shit is straight tweety bird tattoo

I've been avoiding it because like Rebecca Black it's one of those polarizing viral videos.

its just a good pop song tho -- theres no omg its so bad to it

i've already memorized both verses

gnarly, radical, on the block i'm magical

seriously tho, lil b for the remix plz -- he needs to be on a song w/ a chorus that goes "one big room / full of bad bitches"

well, part of the chorus at least

some dumb-ass think pieces about this song lately

prove it

any odd future connection ensures at least 50 dumb-ass think pieces

lol

these are more from ppl who repped for odd future hating on her for not being a good 'technical rapper'

http://creamteam.tv/?p=4120

the weird thing is that her OF connection doesn't exist beyond video cameos

yeah, not reading a "creamteam.tv" piece

it blows my mind how ppl try to equate this w/ hype over odd future generally ... theres a reason this got so much attention & its because its more immediate than any odd future song MAYBE sans 'novacane' + its, like, actually got some appeal to women

i mean, wtf is this shit:

I think a lot of people are excited about Kreayshawn because she is, in theory, “radical.”

no, they like it cuz she wrote a catchy-ass song & has style & personality.

or that if you mute the “Gucci Gucci” video it could easily be a shitty SNL skit about hipsters.

what a week for whiney to be sb'd

yeah that sentence is meaningless xxp

she is, in theory, "magical"

"gnarly"

Kreayshawn SUCKS at rapping. Homegirl can’t string together two cohesive lines to save her life.

this person later goes on to say that shes uncomfortable w/ a white person biting someone else's culture, although less so when its amanda blank or lady sovereign

amanda blank fucking wishes she ever did anything as hooky as "gucci gucci"

I hope she collaborates with Too Short and/or E-40.

last week I was stuck on top of a mountain, near the top of a waterfall, in some rickety ass tent and an unexpected snowstorm moved in and I seriously thought I was going to die, because no one else was out there, and Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn would not stop playing in my head, as I lay in my tent, thinking about how, if I fell asleep, and the snow, or wind, caved the tent in, there would be nowhere to go, and all I would think, over and over, was Gucci Gucci Louie Louie Fendi Fendi Prada

In related news, AdAge declared yesterday that those in the 100-200K income range no longer "feel rich" and luxury brands shouldn't bother to market aspirational handbags to them:

Before the downturn, luxury marketers embraced the concept of "mass affluence." Buoyed by fatter stock portfolios and exploding equity in real estate -- and encouraged by easy credit -- a larger portion of the population, mainly in the Aspiring tier, considered itself wealthy enough to buy luxury goods. But in 2011, these consumers no longer "feel rich," and they are not particularly likely to graduate into affluence later on (and thus are not a particularly promising future market for luxury brands to seed). In 2011, those in the Aspiring tier firmly self-identify as middle class.

People who want to show that they think Gucci is cool are better off getting a keyring, or something.

(A knockoff keyring - the authentic ones are $250.)

this cracked me up

Me too.

Oh Jesus what has she done to her damn brows. NAGL.

where is that bassline sample from, it's killing me

maybe it just sounds like some half-remembered photek or something

I doubt it's a sample.

lil debbie!

First time I watched the video I thought Lil Debbie was Kreayshawn until the latter started rapping.

wait, so, does she have any other songs out that are nearly this good yet?

she hasnt released any since no

I saw one from last year on youtube that I liked. It's not as good but still p good.

yeah, i should probably just spend some time checking out whatever else she already has out

the track of hers from last year that I heard was v much more half-arsed -- all i really remember is it had the "one big room, full of bad bitches" line in it and I thought about her thinking, fuck it, that line is too good to use only once.

lol yes

yah its not good although youll see some dont-believe-the-hype challopists around the internet claiming otherwise. "i was down when she was underground / released ehhh music" types

I think she readily admits she took this track more seriously

I've heard some of the old stuff and it is wack if I may go old school on you for just a moment

hey deej that was a fine interview btw

I always lol at the cat sounds in this btw.

linked cos hueg

Okay...new song is back to being dreadful.

lol @ "i fucking hated school / but i loved my trapper keeper / that's where i kept my work"

She does have a song w roach gigz coming out soon

um this bitch just dropped a fuckin banger

she's got me rubbing my nose subconsciously

"i fuckin hated school but i loved my trapper keeper"

which joint

rich whores

it's like a gucci/OJ pastiche about sniffing coke

i'm a huge fan of this song

I heard this on Hot 97 this weekend lol

("gucci gucci")

yeah i heard it on the radio yesterday

the lakers are trying to do.... something

god damn!

whoops!

anyway

She has also been tapped to direct the video for the “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” the first single from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album I’m With You.

lolwtfisthis

oh man this is such an oj song -- it's no "gucci gucci" but i dig it

xpost

she's make more money off that than her album!

theyre throwing money at these kids

Kreayshawn - 'Rich Whores' (Free mp3 download, 2011)

i got bored of reading by then

btw how do you pronounce her name? is it more or less just an elaborate spelling of "creation"?

Rich Whores is trending in the US right now

everywhere i look

next fall in a million high schools in US cities girls will be coke heads in addition to aspiring lesbians

also, just hearing this now, but does kind of give me oakland pride

This is terrible generic lex luger bs, and i'm convinced I can't trust surfboards

Talking "rich whores." No prob w the concept in theory but I can't picture a more disgustingly generic beat

Exactly.

I think she's adorable btw.

*checks watch*... 10:01! OUT!

"rich whores" sucks, basically, but "i'm moving" is pretty damn funny

can't believe kreayshawn bottomed out so fast

I'm sure she'll have something listenable on her record, execs have wiz khalifa dreams about her so I'm sure they can throw her a "roll up"type beat or w/e

And tbf the beat is 100% to blame

::blushes::

definitely a "we can rebuild him...we can make him faster...stronger..." thing going on here with kreayshawn/millionaires

millionaires pic is weird and could prob be a venetian snares cover

for one thing i actually believe that kreayshawn is a tatted-up dirtbagstyle hipster in her every day whereas millionaires were like rebecca black if spank rock had secretly founded his own ark entertainment group

xxxxpost lol oops. im sure youre very attractive but i was tlaking about kreayshawn and v-nasty except for she has the real curly hair and theother one

i think a sex tape is the logical conclusion of meme rap.

you wrote my name as a typo for the word "all" fyi

yes i know

oh ok i wasn't sure if you understood. it's ok. i'm flattered.

for one thing i actually believe that kreayshawn is a tatted-up dirtbagstyle hipster

is this an accomplishment

are non-hipsters now supposed to care about the authenticity of a hipster

is that something to consider, now

that is precisely what i meant, yes

bravo

not criticizing your post, it was just a sad thought i had

but p much everything about her makes me sad, not your fault buddy

oh well thanks i do feel better now

would have made an aite display name

rip

What did that say? It's gone now.

i just don't know any more, i'm looking at lil debbie tumblr thinking smaaaaaaaash even though i know it's basically just lady sov with a better stylist

was it the hair that got her this far?
all these lipsticks these mascaras these bras?
i hate to say it but it seem so flawed
success didnt come til i cut my brain off

sov? idk i think of kreayshawn as "what amy winehouse gets up to whe she's off her face at a party behind closed doors"

*when

kreayshawn is russian-american right?

Sovs advantage is not being british, no offense

But if you mean she could be a&r'd out of existence I agree that is a threat

Er, kreayshawn s advantage

kreayshawn's advantage vis-à-vis sov and sov only, i assume, rather than british female MCs who are actually good for more than a couple of tracks like stush or lady leshurr

No one in america knows who those ppl are so I would say it's her advantage over them as well

so an american artist has an advantage over non-american artists when it comes to getting known by an american audience? huh never would've guessed

Why can't british rappers be more like slick rick?

Nb i'm joking

erm i wasnt thinking smaaaaaaaash like smaaaaaaaash hit recording artist

winehouse isnt at all mousey like kreaysh, deb and sov

not into kreaysh like that anyway, just deb. alho i agree she do look russian

kreaysh is russian-american, yes

it is not mistah fab.

tbh it's been so long since i heard mistah fab that i actually wasn't sure myself at first.

what's the genesis of this beef?

random dude hates kreayshawn so disses mistah fab instead of kreayshawn instead of dissing kreayshawn?

wait, is mistah fab aligned with v-nasty and kreayshawn in terms of it being okay for them to say the n word

er mistah fab for liking kreayshawn i meant

i'm a doddering old man

could it be beef was all so simple then?

so, if mistah fab calls this guy the n word, he's gonna shoot mistah fab in the face? that seems a bit harsh

i agree w/j0rdan's post except he should have added "innit?" to the end

why do i call myself an n word you ask me

I'll take that on faith, thanks.

When she was underage, Twitter didn't even exist.

digital camera and hard drives didn’t exist either ?

actually twitter was created when Kreayshawn was 16

actually twitter was created just for Kreayshawn's existence when she was 16

"to he bonest" is my reaction to the twitpics

It was pretty amazing how completely we shifted away from those twitpics to taking about her interview skills.

Where's Sway when you need him.

What up, world.

well i don't really care about tits, so

ok, apparantly, according to the hackers themselves, she was tweeting the nudie pics to LIL B

also

In a chat today, two Hollywood Leaks members named IAMDGKZ1 and dapper weren't clear as to why they targeted Kreayshawn. They certainly aren't fans of her music.

"The beat… is good, but her voice induces nausea," said IAMDGKZ1, a self-identified "hip hop nerd".

Dapper is not a rap fan and got racist about it.

"Rap is for n*ggers," he said. "The cia made it so theyd kill each other." IAMDGKZ1 laughed him off.

"lol dapper is our joe biden, saying off the wall shit all the time."

"lol dapper is our frogbs, saying off the wall shit all the time."

did you ever acknowledge i was right about 'grove st party' after trying to clown me about it, i forget

i realize this is the only place on the internet where yall can successfully troll kreayshawn stans considering the critical consensus is that shes a talentless hack who is somehow overrated despite having no vocal advocates in the crit world (altho im sure the odd future association helped in some guilt-by-association sense) but it seems p evident to me that she has a pop ear & claiming she has no 'skills' is on some corny anti-pop ish

agree w/deej, actually

preach bruh

I never said she doesn't have pop skills, I'm saying that 7 months into career, I've literally never seen anyone mention another one of her songs. Unless OMG GOOGLE N*GGA AND FIND V-NASTY is a song

Like seriously its not like OF where people were picking over Taco's adlibs on YouTubes to decide if he;'s more of a U-God or a Deck. If this woman has another song, i've never seen heads or tails of it

the funny thing about odd future & her is that i'm pretty sure that relationship is almost wholly an internet fiction

btw there's nothing wrong w/ kreayshawn not having another song yet

altho she does -- "rich whores" which is okay, just has a really crappy beat

a song as good as "gucci gucci" buys you some immunity tho imo

I'm saying that 7 months into career,

Bumpin Bumpin was 11 months ago, Gucci Gucci was three months ago. When are you counting from?

i'm STILL not ready to call jackie chain a one hit wonder fwiw

he has more than one hit!

i think careers start when people have heard of you and you start thinking about things as a career

so she rang you up seven months ago and said "hey influential tastemaker Whiney G Weingarten, I'm thinking about following up my minor YouTube hit and mixtape from last year with ANOTHER video and a second mixtape - when do you reckon I should release them for maximum career impact?" and you were like "Get the video on Youtube in four months, and throw the mix on datpiff the month after - thanks for checking."

if the only cameo by a well known person in your only video is someone from a particular crew people are going to consider that a public association -- i dunno if anyone's extrapolated that into any 'fiction' more elaborate than just that

xpost thats a lot of words for a bunch of shit i clearly admitted to not knowing anything about beyond a) this song is like the only rap that WILD BEASTS fans listen to in 2011; b) white people really love talking about white people who are friends with white people who say the n-word sometimes

http://29.media.tumblr.com/Zdf0La8Xxfodqwbuep93jZEAo1_500.jpg

what rap did WILD BEASTS fans listen to in 2007?

Whiney shes only released one song since "gucci gucci" three months ago. Let it breathe damn.

Ps, the link I posted was to a preview of her song w snoop, which sounded p good despite the shitty medium of the "preview," although u get to observe her skip past 10/10 mac dre classic "off the rictor" on her itunes

a) this song is like the only rap that WILD BEASTS fans listen to in 2011

granted i don't live in williamsburg but i really haven't gotten the impression that kreayshawn is the cam'ron of 2011 (which wouldn't be the worst thing anyway)

if those nude pictures are a result of anything involving lil b

Lol just read whineys post ... Your hipster myopia is hysterical... "gucci gucci" gets play on rap radio and lil wayne freestyled over it -- the hipster guilt by association thing you try with any rapper some hipster u know in bk has heard of with HIPSTERS writ large is meaningless.

And who exactly are you saying likes her cuz she knows someone who dropped the nbomb? What sense does that even make?

― J0rdan S., Monday, September 12, 2011 11:41 PM (Yesterday)

he has 2 10/10 classics!

Let it breathe damn.

no, i'm with you 100% on this!

I'm just saying with internet rap sensations (Lil B, OFWGKTA, even like cheesecake Drake back in the day), there's like this weird hoarding of all their material and freaking out over every note, and Kreayshawn still sort of appears to be regarded as one song + a racist friend

Cue link to st0rmfr0nt post on gucci gucci lol

would read tbh

google st0rmfr0nt find david

thing is there was a time, in rap or otherwise, when you could actually have a career for a decent amount of time off of having just one song out before people either need to hear more or will gladly forget about you. i'm not 100% whether that not being the case anymore is a good thing or a bad thing.

100% sure

kreayshawn has other good stuff i mean - i like kreayshawn x the bay, which came out after gucci gucci single - but the only reason it's good is cuz kreayshawn has cool friends. on the mixtape i find her verses essentially indistinguishable from the other white gurls, which furthers "one song and a racist friend"

she is playing in london tomorrow btw. at everyone's favourite venue the old blue last ;-)

I hadn't heard kreayshawn x the bay but doesn't that put her in a lineage of weirdo bay rappers more than support an argument that she doesn't have a unique voice? Saying she sounds like her friends isn't very damning criticism

good god kreayshawn at the old blue last, this must be some sort of experiment in trying to create a black hole of horror

"gucci gucci" is a great pop song but really her voice is just too nasal and a bit whiny to tolerate in larger doses

a) this song is like the only rap that WILD BEASTS fans listen to in 2011

granted i don't live in williamsburg but i really haven't gotten the impression that kreayshawn is the cam'ron of 2011 (which wouldn't be the worst thing anyway)

^^^always the bastion of sanity, this guy, for realz

I didn't think rap was popular in 2011, like its kind of played out now

in a couple months we'll all be living in a post loutallica world, and I bet you idiots will still be posting about rap music

i haven't ruled out the possiblity that loutallica is a rap album.

^^^^

lil dog

kreayshawn x the bay is just bay producers remixing tracks off her mixtape in a really fun and DGAF way. she doesn't actually rap alongside any of them, so i hesitate to say she falls in that lineage.

what may have been missed here is that i wasn't necessarily trying to damn kreayshawn by the uffie comp. i like kreayshawn and i liked uffie when she came out. i'm just trying to say that it all feels very temporary. white girl mob is a cool idea but i dunno if it necessarily makes for compelling music or a bona fide star...

shes already a star...?

in what possible universe?

p4k/WILD BEASTS/ilx universe

she was on the MTV Music Awards, nom'd for best new artist. that counts for... something

srsly deej i'm not even trying to start any shit here but if you really think this chick is a STAR (a word/concept that has pretty much been drained of any universally held meaning over the last ten years, admittedly) then yr gonna suffocate pretty soon in this bubble

anyways don't think the gaga comp is fair - kreayshawn and gaga exist in different universes entirely. but considering she's in the same headline territory as bon iver, a household name among p4k people, and not too far behind ~~GRAMMY WINNERS~~ arcade fire, i'd say that's "stardom" to some degree.

fennel what is a google news headline result & how does it differ from a google news result? also have u heard of google news archive searches?

it's just google news and i wanted to emphasize that it was the amount of headlines so and so artist was making, that's all. also haven't heard of news archive searches

ok well rest assured kreayshawn isn't in bon iver territory

i was pretty much just talking about how she was on the mtv video awards \oO/

shes certainly a star relative to uffie which was the context we were talking about

comparing her to lady gaga is like, of course shes not on that level ... who is, lil wayne?

irl mainstreamers i know have heard of her. its not rlly that much of a leap to suggest shes mildly famous

& certainly compared to uffie

I have seen twentysomethings in my world of young people get excited and rap along when Gucci Gucci is an "identify this song" audio clue at pub trivia

a household name among p4k people

good to know that in between fielding those phone calls from Kreayshawn, yr flying across the planet to scope out the browser histories of strangers, while they're at uni or refugee crisis centres or selling cupcakes in the QVB

pfork didnt even cover her. MAINSTREAMERS bro

i was just reposting for the mixed metaphor of something being a "household name" even though it refers to a very select and small group of households, most of which probably dont own houses

haha

http://twitter.com/#!/Starbucks/statuses/78956078687203328

ok but u could say that bon iver (original "p4k household name") has probably already crossed over to the homeowning adult contemporary crowd. so many progressive adults responsibly bumpin it on their ecofriendly commute. do modern progressive adults own houses or condos btw?

also in interests of extreme accuracy lets just say that kreayshawn is a highly bloggable name in the nascent genre of tumblr rap

i really don't know if starbucks is a good metric, they sell tons of shit no one has ever heard of in there

that said, they did have bon iver up at the registers right next to beyonce in its first week

dats me

i like the name ; )

Here, too - held off by Adele.

that's a lot more like uffie... detached, shock value club rap

that said it's kinda hot

there are some points where she's clearly trying to sound like she's from the south that i think are maybe problematic but w/e

the video is like lana del ray trying to do khia

lol that little kid

that girl can not rap

i wasn't paying attention

trying to hide yr b0n3r

An older song of hers.

it's fucking Princess Superstar for a post-LastNightsParty. Is everyone like 20 and doesn't remember anything?

i mean this:

hey i remember princess superstar

female mc paul barmans the lot of em

haha whiney otm re: princess superstar

but i think kreayshawn is more detached than this iggy lady, who's obvi trying too hard

also love how this was the apex of princess superstar's career... i'd imagine iggy has a similar future as a feature on a hit cataracs song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZl165WDjDA

superstar also released a painful concept album o_O

i liked the concept album in 2005, but i p like all rap concept albums

it aged so poorly, but perhaps will be recognized as a landmark in 10 years when electroclash inevitably becomes retro and vogue

kudos to yelawolf for some real talk in relation to v-nasty dropping the n-word:

"I’m from the South. That shit don’t fly. And in Alabama, put it this way. There are grandparents alive today whose parents went through a war. We’re just out of the slave trade. It’s very real situation," he said. "You don’t take that shit lightly, especially Hip Hop and American music culture is black culture. Don’t ever get it fucked up. Know your roots, know where the fuck you’re getting this music from and respect it. And don’t embarrass white people and white rappers by doing that dumb shit, by dropping the N-bomb and thinking you’re all cool and shit. You’re going to find yourself slapped up and it might be by a white boy. Because you ain’t gonna embarrass me around my people like that."

He continued by explaining that there are still racial tensions in the United States and that the use of the word goes deeper than rap. "We’re not very far away from real-life problems. Obama is the president, but it doesn’t mean that less than 50 years ago, people were getting… People are still getting mobbed. It ain’t no joke, man. Certain people have the birthright to use that word. I don’t know. As a white rapper, it’s always been a big no-no, but as a human being, it’s been an even bigger no-no."

yelawolf otm

that is :)

why do ppl keep asking every rapper about v nasty

well tbf mr. yelawolf isn't exactly 'every rapper' w/r/t this argument

it is the only thing keeping threads alive

xx-post because she is a presumed rapper who is not black and dropped the n word

pretty sure v-nasty would beat up yelawolf in a fight

so she's a racist and a thug now, huh

All I wanted to do is create and have a good time. But, this is quickly forming into something I never would have signed up for from being accused of being racist to getting my pre-teen nudes leaked everywhere. I feel like this shit ain’t my cup of tea. Someone else want my job right about now? Im just gotta sip lean and disappear. THIS GAME IS FAKE AS ALL HELL!

Yes I know this is super old news, but I just saw this quote. I don't think she understands what "pre-teen" means.

apparently she is playing a college show here with neon indian

lol that one voice review that said she was just a lazy stoner OTM

@whiteyspitter alright so i looked up the meaning... and it says nigga "extremely offensive name for a Black person"

if you're not restricted to only making fun of one person, sure

her & neon indian are touring colleges together

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/06/kreayshawn.html

The interesting talking point concerns a word beginning with the letter N that white rappers like Kreayshawn aren't supposed to use.

"I never said that in my music," she says. But wasn't there a video on her YouTube channel where someone did? "It might have been my sister, V-Nasty," she says. "She says it all the time, and that's because she grew up all different. She goes in and out of jail for armed robbery all the time. Her mom calls her that. But personally, I don't say it in my music, because it's not my place."

This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen on the internet and I've seen video of a dude getting fucked to death by a horse

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/13/magazine/the-internet-and-your-cultural-irrelevance.html?_r=1

You may have seen or heard of Kreayshawn by now (pronounced “CRAY-shawn”)

have I been completely fucking this up, or is this writer just not language-savvy enough to notice it's a play on "creation"

Ooh, I want to crush that name flat between two good, old, important books and eat the resulting paste

is this writer just not language-savvy enough to notice it's a play on "creation"

i believe the writer's point is 'when you read the name you think that's a play on "creation", but you see an interview and she pronounces it "CRAYshawn" rather than "creation" and that is immensely confusing'

i'd like to think "im losing my edge.. to the 8 or 9 year olds able to listen to the crickets from their milan-related happy meal toys" was in an original draft of that lcd soundsystem song

get that NYT money however you can

i'll wait till i've made it thru my 20s without writing my "ugh, i'm old!" piece before i pass judgement on the idea of this piece, but the style really doesn't fit in the NYT, even the mag. i mean 85% of the ppl that read the NYT are gonna read this "Case closed! (Brushes hands, moves on.)" and go "huh"

is zimmerman a pen name pun on zimmer frame?

girl you were probably always culturally irrelevant ;_;

Until now I’ve “heard” everything.

she said "rip" the way ilx does

i literally have no idea how "I DONT GET KREAYSHAWN ALSO IM 28" was a successful pitch in the NYT, let alone something that warrants commissioning a graphic.

was it the NYT that published the p***f**k r*v***s r*v***s article?

who the fuck is their commissioning editor and, like, why?

this is at least a more convincing pitch than that was

women laughing alone with salad vs. gucci gucci

i kept scanning for something worth hanging onto in that article

nothing came

"I don't understand kids today and I'm 28. Does this mean something?"

kids get older faster in the future imo

(Brushes hands, moves on.)

eh, kids stay kids longer these days than in the past

or, as some dude I ran into in a bar who was celebrating his 25th birthday and seemed to have a more small-town mindset implied, you should feel like a failure if you're not married with a kid by 25

Pretty grim piece, but I liked this line: "it basically sounds like what someone who hates rap might imagine all rap music sounds like"...

i really like edith zimmerman! i think shes very funny!

i always enjoy ganging up on non-ilxors who write about music but i forgot how defensive i feel when its a non-ilxor whose work i enjoy

i really liked that GQ profile of that chris evans (?) that she wrote but this piece just wasn't very good

anyway this piece does not really play to EZs strengths and she does have horrible taste in music but i recommend her blog "the hair pin"!

oh god, that Chris Evans profile

heh that piece on chris evans had some of the same problems. we are maybe reaching the point where "writing well for the web" really actually doesnt translate into "writing well in print"?

but all told i think shes one of the best/funniest bloggers in the game so h8rs to the left

I don't think we're hating on her as a person, just the fact that this article is horrible

Don't worry, we'll love you even if you write some horrible articles, max. But we'll let you know.

im not really getting heated! just maybe trying to add some 'context'

btw I have seen and enjoy the hairpin.

this article is hilarious

I couldn't make it past the first sentence

so instead I watched a guy get fucked to death by a horse

wait it's funny?

Ooh, I want to crush that name flat between two good, old, important books and eat the resulting paste

she talks like a Questionable Content character

i'm 28 btw

Didn't like that article much but love E Zimm, she's great.

this article is hilarious

what part?

its not even about the song itself, that piece is just like. "oooh someone is so 'cool'" like its trying to be cooler than something cool by pretending not to care about being cool?

^ solitary posts that effortlessly summarize the spirit of ilm

what part?

the part where she has a mini existential crisis about feeling old because she doesn't like Kreayshawn

i guess that seems like a weird example to me, feel like that song could have come out any time in the past decade & been as big -- its a pretty standard joint

I think focusing on the treatment of Kreayshawn in this article is to fundamentally misunderstand/misread it; it is self-absorbed navel-gazing to a hilarious degree (which I would have thought would have been emphasized by the omg I'm old crisis being caused by... Kreayshawn, who is mostly inoffensive/ignorable in a world that contains Tyler)

yeah i mean i guess ive had that exact same idea tho before but it deserves a couple seconds of conversation when you're at a bar w/ your friends, not extensive think-piece writing

also it just seems late on the backlash train

i am genuinely dispirited by this thread

we just aren't that into designer labels

let alone something that warrants commissioning a graphic.

the gauld makes it all worth it tbh

Tyler songs are not going to be played at the bar when you're they're with friends. "Gucci Gucci" will.

* when you're there

What the hell has happened to me

When I was 8 or 9, my grandmother took me to McDonald’s for lunch, and the toy that came with the Happy Meal was a cricket that chirped when you spun its wings. (A “Mulan”-related toy, if that matters.)

wait, this girl's 21 or so? talk about feeling old...

wait...the article says she's 28

mulan came out in '98 which meant she was 14 or 15 at least.

sorry, but inaccurate happy meal stories are inexcusable journalism.

she's 28. the lead is a glaring error that she acknowledged on her twitter.

christ if i'd known premature cranky old ladyisms could have been my entrance into the times i would have been putting this gender-ambiguous name to work for me.

not gonna judge a teen for ordering Happy Meals, I used to get those in college

how on earth is that enough food for a grown man

you get two of them

also means you get to double up on the toys!

man remember when mcdonalds had those nasty ass "fajitas"? i used to consume my weight in those.

it did save me having to go to mcdonalds for fries and taco bell for "mexican" in order to make a complete meal.

um mcdonalds "fajitas" were amazing thanks

I have made it a personal policy to avoid anything on the McDonald's menu that isn't classic McDonald's food; no "fajitas", no McRib, no lobster roll... none of that shit

I did break policy for the McDLT, because it kept the hot side hot and the cool side cool, also at the time I hated the environment and wanted to contribute to its destruction

Put me in the "I really like Edith Zimmerman, maybe especially the 'short story' she wrote about a fart that runs away from home" column. It's weird, though, watching the Times magazine try and find a way to just let her "be herself" inside it. Like Max says, sometimes it just sits wrong in the format. Even the free-form "Riff," apparently!

Once upon a time there was a fart who ran away and lived in a tree. Her mom was like “OMG you’re going to get lost, come back down and hide inside this blanket,” but the fart was like “Literally Mom shut up, let me live!!!” But it was a sad story because the fart got picked up by the wind and she died. :(

Fun fact: the fart's name was Kreayshawn

but how did the fart pronounce it

"pfffbbbbbttttt"

Fun fact: That's pretty much the plot of a Ren & Stimpy episode she surely saw if she's 28

haha wow yeah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Stimpy

My world is kinda shattered now! Well anyway she's typically super-great, is all.

The part of that article that weirded me out, incidentally, was the description of Kreayshawn as "hypnotically confident." Compared to most musicians, she does not strike me as remotely confident. She seems like an incredibly normal person who's just being trotted around so everyone can be interested in her. She doesn't even say much! Just "hi, I'm Kreayshawn, which is a fact you care about for reasons that don't have much to do with me. I'm going to check Twitter now."

if people are looking for funny Edith her "letters to women's magazines" on the awl and the hairpin are hilarious

i'm not really looking, but thanks

ouch :-(

sorry max, it's nothing personal. i've just sworn off the internet.

and on it, too

(Brushes hands, moves on.)

sure, why not

i mean

i had to stop at "house of chicken and waffles" lest be overwhelmed by the predictablity

you were gonna go get some chicken and waffles?

i wish

the 'short story' she wrote about a fart that runs away from home" column

nabisco is joking here right? because...just no. no.

WHY WOULD YOU WRITE THAT

this really is one of the most obnoxiously written things i've ever seen. i don't even know why playing up that she's 'funny' would be a defense for her since all the constant attempts at levity are the most painful part of the piece.

i dont think that you and she share similar senses of humor tbh

http://thehairpin.com/tag/letters-to-the-editors-of-womenss-magazines/

^^^ the letters to the editors thing i was talking about. and stuff like "winter byofriend" (http://thehairpin.com/2010/12/the-winter-boyfriend) which i think is what EZ is really *good* at, these kind of absurdist fragments that clock in around 200 words and dont really have a point or a thesis. like nabisco says its interesting to watch magazine editors see that shes funny and talented and has a big following and try to use her--and then be unable to recapture in a magazine piece what makes her so good as a blogger.

nb my guess is that whiney and lex and al will all hate the letters to the editors and winters boyfriend, so they may be less interested in the untranslatability of EZ than i am

which ones are the real letters and which ones are the fake letters

idgi

all her shit reads like a less funny and more wordy version of like

http://www.nataliedee.com/041007/shitty-zoo-3.jpg

yeah like i said its not really your "style"

word

whiney I think you'd be into this one

Thin and sad. Or, if it's an option, extra thin and suicidal. Or, if at all possible, a skeleton that killed itself. Ashes that crumbled off a skeleton that killed itself. A gust of wind blowing through the eye socket of a skeleton that killed itself. A fart seeping from the asshole of a corpse that shit itself to death. In case those are ones I can choose.

Edith Z., Brooklyn

the more I read these fake letters the more I like them actually, whiney in some ways she's a female version of you, so vulgar and crass

I just read all those letters and I actually like her a lot now but I'm still not going to read that nyt article

youre not really missing out on anything

I wish my last name started with a Z. then I could sign everything with just a "Z." and it'd be so authoritative, you can't get any further behind in the alphabet than Z., unless youre greek or russian or something

omg those letters

i think she shares her sense of humor with suck.com circa 1998

i think a lot of the internet does!

not an excuse

some dude who are some internet writers you think are funny

those letters are first class
