Fair enough, it just comes off as selling points for people to like his music, i.e. “yo I’m cool like you and like the same music so you should like my music too!” Especially when he says in one of his tracks something along the lines of “I aint tryna impress no hip fucks” or some shit like that… bruh you obviously are. That was like when Das Racist proclaimed “I don’t even read Pitchfork” or something like that. Don’t diss or claim to be above your target audience bruh.
When I talk about CG though, there’s always an element of jealousy that he got a free ride into the rap game by already being a celebrity… which is ironic considering I bought Shaq’s first album not just cus unlike Coolio’s album there was no Parental Adviz sticker, but also cus he was already Shaqfamous.
Hm, yeah, I actually think he’s pretty good technically. Just went back and listened to a couple tracks and again was really just turned off by his lyrical content. Stuff he brags about is hard to relate/get into, but not in the same way as rappers like Rick Ross or Curren$y. Those guys are fun to live vicariously through… Rick Ross’s impossible grandeur and luxury becomes a forcefield, and Curren$y puts you in the position of the bemused, understated OG.
Getting into Gambino is uncomfortable/impossible for me cus his whole persona could be summed up in one word, which is coincidentally his other job title – comedian. It’s as if to make up for his lack of anything interesting to say, he’s content to just throw around pop culture references and name drop indie bands. When other rappers do the same thing – a stand up equivalent of a set of straight one liners – it’s not nearly as bad because they have some sort of identity you can cling to, or a reputation you respect. In an age where an artist’s story and abilities are often held with equal importance, CG unfortunately stands out as having neither talent, or a compelling birth myth.
I’ll admit though that a lot of the reasons I dislike his music are superficial, like the fact that his rap shows include comedy, and that he was already a successful entertainer before rap. But come to think of it, I got into rap for superficial reasons to begin with – if it wasn’t for name recognition and the lack of a parental advisory sticker, I would have never gotten Shaq Diesel in the first place.
Aight fine, I’ll stop being so hard on the Gambino and give him a third chance.
God that Tune-Yards line was so lame. As was the one about having an Oscar. He’s got an alright delivery and voice, but his lyrics are absolutely terrible. Can’t believe actual rappers are collaborating with him.
awesome, the boss still at it.
“yo screw album art, we spend the budget on the music. ait fuck it, we get a bunch of no trespassing signs for outside the studio along wit a couple pit bulls.. keep us safe. and yo man, i got bitches man, i got 8 bitches! yo hit me up!”
There was a new Too Short album this year!?
This is exactly the kind of beat you expect him to let out a drawn-out menacing “SQUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAADDDDDD” on a few measures before the beat drops. I’m startin to expect that in every BSM track… did he ever actually do that?
Sick. Also quality is about 2 trillion times better than the last one.
Uh helllllooooo I prefer “prima donna.” Why is there no olive in my vermouth?
RJ, you are far too kind. I gotta give it up for Big Bailey too tho. Props! Also gotta just throw this out there:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! FINALLLLYYYYY!!!!!
They could’ve at least thrown a Big Audio Dynamite track in there.
Wanna say this is his best track in awhile, but the hook’s really reminiscent of “Famous” from PT2. I’m a bit ambivalent about the tracks from the album so far, esp “What it Look Like.” He’s letting too many mainstream rappers (or at least dudes with totally different vibe) fold themselves into his style. I hope he get money and exposure from all these features, but kind of want him to tear ish up again by himself, hooks included.
Man, this is total blasphemy, but I sometimes wonder if Curren$y (and weed) just grow kind of boring after awhile…*

What the article left out though is how the hairstyle makes that one eye look, like, so dreamy and deep.
“Wow, really nice to catch you on this inspiration walk that my band-mate and I are having. See we’re working on this new record, and I’m having a hard time – you know I’m essentially trying to express the ineffable. I’ve been looking through discarded prisms and antiquated idioms to no avail… but then something hits me like this! [Makes guitar motion] Or this! [Raises eyebrows triumphantly] Ah! I got it!
Should it be in B Major? [Old man looks curiously at him] No you’re right, A Minor!”
[Old man smiles and nods. He waves to the younger man and woman, bends down to the ground, and solemnly begins rolling down a hill.]

Fine bro, don’t join our circle jerk then. But consider this a desperate plea to join us for a round of ookie cookie over on Reddit.
Listen, bitch. If you think you can just waltz on in here and steal my #1 (or anything) glory, well.. you’re.. …you’re… …probably f***’in right!
In all seriousness, FUCK you bro. In all sarcasticness, great job. Wait other way around. Wait FUCK me…
No seriously, congrats bro.
That’s amazing.
The Hanson Brothers -> The Hansons -> Hanson
Used to give my sister SO much shit for thinking that was legitimate!
Is that the standard nomenclature?
To be fair to Tom, this is a relatively new movement, and we tend to base our judgements on the few examples we’ve experienced, and JD Sampson was calling herself a woman all over her HuffPo article:

Just curious.
Look at this peacoat tell me he’s broke.
Also I like how 2 of the 7 looks Kanye hates are perfectly embodied by Shaq.
Always thought Tiduh hated witchcraft. F’n muggle.
What’s that you say? Your band has a new video out for “Save Tonight?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nntd2fgMUYw
Dude stop taking credit for that masterpiece, everyone knows it was actually Eagle Eye Cherry.
Watched this ish on Friday, so good. Was the first late night TV performance you covered that I actually saw… I’ve been anticipating this write-up lol.
