169510, Nah, but hipsters/Pitchfork intellectualize and legitimizie Keef Posted by Orbit_Established, Sat Dec-15-12 11:18 PM
And that's the real shame.
>But given the power of the internet with YouTube and shit, >does Keef really need a good rating from Pitchfork to put out >his "message"?
I have little problem with ignorant kid X or Y being popular for whatever dumbass reason. That's the way the internet is. You can build a following because you make weird shapes with your mouth, can fart out of year ears, etc.
Pitchfork/Hipsters-Guiness types and everyone in THIS POST above 21 years old praising this shit are the real problem, because of instead of having the self esteem to simply call Keef what he is--a horrible rapper who built an internet following by laughing at death and making homoerotic youtube videos--they actually call him a good RAPPER and don't HONESTLY EVALUATE HIS MUSIC.
^THAT is the problem.
Note: IF CHIEF KEEF was NICE ON THE MIC, this would be a different conversation. Whether I approved of his lifestyle or not, he'd be good at his craft and so I'd have nothing to say about his MUSIC.
But he's not good at rap. The reason that the best producers want to work with Keef is because he laughs at dead kids. He's "real and authentic." \
