Boxus Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 It seems like female rappers are always hyper-sexualized in the mainstream. It's not Cardi or Nicki's fault per-say, but I just wonder if folks like Queen Latifa, Missy, Lady of Rage, etc. would make it in the current climate. Three 6 Mafia had Gangsta Boo as part of the group in the 90s, but I can't imagine a mainstream posse rap group doing that now. Could you see Migos having a female member that wasn't just there for sex appeal? It just seems very skewed, and I'm kinda fucked up about it, like, why were the 90s more progressive about this than now? Or am I misunderstanding the situation? check out last artful dodgr, one of my current favs. unique voice, delivery, and style, nice sparse production. no bullshit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDQLb43Wnhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw7Uu2D0kEc gifted gab is cool too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_oqZDyznjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublename Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yaeji is the wackest shit I’ve ever witnessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 You probably need to consider the fact that Yaeji is foreign. Korea is tacky as fuck and their pop scene is way more 'toxic' than that of the US, so a track like Drink I'm Sippin On is pretty legit in a vacuum.

Slacker Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 wtf is all this nonsense? i can see why she makes all those skkkrr and meewwwh noises cos the content of this music is brain mushing. actually making the stuff yourself must completely remove the ability to think and speak like a normal human being. kodak black was some guys name now her track is called bodak yellow? is that a dis? i don't know why i'm asking this questions cos i don't care about the answers. i used to have to listen to a bunch of this trap shit that my flatmate would play in my last house at parties etc. i would put up with it as all the 20 yr old art hoe girls would love it and dance like crazy. i really can't see the appeal tho even whilst crunk. hyper-generic gibberish over hi hats BASS BOOSTED some blasian banging on about nobody knows what even fucking shut up already. this songs gets me hype tho i will admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I guess I haven't been exposed to it as much but Cardi B's music seems alright? Like, par, pretty mainstream but OK? I don't really give a shit about the cultural analysis personally, I guess some people get old and grumpy toward pop culture but I'm becoming more indifferent and open to whatever. Anyway, where's the track with the line about pussy smelling like turtle tank? That sounds pretty funny lolAlso left off bad and boujee cracks me the fuck up every time. it's all about maliibu miitch tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XzmrlxHDf8 she just needs to release more music I can get behind this - Shirley Manson's face with 2Pac's flow. Beat is a little corny with that slinky piano but it's forgivable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 this shit is so fucking embarrassing. people only make music that sounds like this and music videos that look like this because that's "what's cool" right now. nothing inventive, clever, original in any way at all. it's quite simply made so other people can say "have you heard" or "oh nice" i can't deal with this type of production. the second i heard those annoy rhythm sounds I immediately stop listening and begin saying bad words yaeji is trill af famalam wow this is sooooooooooo random!! XD what does trill mean dunno what to make of this. I kind of like it =/ I guess I haven't been exposed to it as much but Cardi B's music seems alright? Like, par, pretty mainstream but OK?

Sure she moved around a bit between the states and ROK but that kind of nomad life (and I say this as a military brat who lived overseas) has become less and less impactful with social media and the internet. Being born in 1993 and living off/on overseas versus being born in 1983 or 1973 and being in the same situation is night and day. It's a bit arbitrary to place assumptions on someone's musical influence based on background: someone could of curated just as 'foreign' of a persective/taste in music by going online a lot as a white kid into k-pop from Minneapolis.

As in she sounds beyond bored to even be there...which works for that Feel It Out track actually (undercurrents of 90s trip hop to it sort of, good feel mostly) but the Drink track was just a decent beat and the producer made the chorus sound good, literally thousands of rappers could've made that track more interesting than she did (of course, she may be producing it herself, I have no idea). And yeah, the trap type beats are played out but watching it evolve is sorta interesting because what dr lopez says is mostly true, yet the tracks are evolving in ways, if very slowly (and it's really the producers causing the evolution vs the rappers, at least that's how it seems to me). https://youtu.be/Psn0fiNaHOw omg. how did this bitch do this? so good. i'm lovin this. i thought i'd hate this record but i'm so fucking impressed its not funny. if my girl isn't stripping tonight, i'm going to a stripclub. this girl killed it. impressed- beyond. lol welcome to rap from 5 years ago. EDIT: ALSO WAS YAEJI DROPPING THE N WORD IN THE DRINK TRACK? WTF? (caps for false rage but really, wtf?) edit2: not shitting on your likes Nebraska if you're seriously into it then cool, but really, there's a SHIT TON of rap from the last ~5 years in this style and comparable quality...some much much better. And obviously at least slightly more original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
