Hey, Look: Chief Keef, Kanye, Future, 2 Chainz, Delo, Etc.
No dalliances, do wayward (and likely unrelated) anecdotes, no nothing. Just good, interesting music:
Chief Keef, "I Don't Like": There are some details* behind this song that might be interesting to, like, 80 people or so, but mostly this song is important because IT FUCKING ROCKS TITS. Plus, its spine, the acerbic claim "That's that shit I don't like" functions beautifully as quip, both in real life and on Twitter, the second of which might even be more important than the first, which is either really cool or really sad, depending on if you're my dad or not. Amar'e Stoudemire's braids? That's that shit I don't like. Wearing pants while I eat? That's that shit I don't like. So on and so on.
*The most compelling subplot: Kanye and 'dem made a remix that sucked. The producer of the original version took to Twitter to cut it up. It was the first time that Kanye ever looked so uncool. And it made me way sadder than I was anticipating. Ooh, since we're here....
Kanye and 'dem, "Mercy": Has anybody ever been as good at producing brand-new sounds as Kanye? ...Oh, oh, they have? Dang. Fuck it. But were they in that fur coat, tho?
Future, "Pop That": Just kidding. Sorry. Here, put this in your ears. It helps.
Delo, "P's and Qs": Tough stuff from local favorite Delo. He's maybe only knowing two important people away from having Big K.R.I.T.'s career. This is a track from his most recent mixtape, Hood Politics Vol. 3. It's not even the best song.
