2683670, I wonder how many ppl don't check for dude cuz of his corny ass name
Posted by CMcMurtry, Mon Apr-09-12 02:06 PM
I know for a long time I didn't. Kid can rap his ass off tho.
2683675, I was definitely in that category for a while....
Posted by Crash85, Mon Apr-09-12 02:15 PM
which is pretty dumb, but it's the truth...

I've been talking with people about being excited to hear this new mixtape and anyone who doesn't know who he is can't help, but laugh at his name...
2683696, man i love the name!
Posted by Delajoo, Mon Apr-09-12 02:50 PM
And his managers (Anwar Carrots, Josh Peas, cool guys)>

Bout to check this, cant wait!
2683818, I'm one. Almost made a post about it too!
Posted by JtothaI, Mon Apr-09-12 06:08 PM
haha
2683839, me. i thought it was a female rapper/singer for the longest time
Posted by camerongiIes, Mon Apr-09-12 07:19 PM
2683949, I thought he was a group...
Posted by Crash85, Tue Apr-10-12 01:04 AM
Probably cuz of "Veggies"
2683719, That "Get That $" joint GOES, my goodness
Posted by CMcMurtry, Mon Apr-09-12 03:26 PM
2683726, hell yeah... I had to force myself not to play that shit out...
Posted by Crash85, Mon Apr-09-12 03:41 PM
after he released it last week...


On my second listen right now... I'm really liking most of this tape... I'm loving the jazz influence on this album...
2683961, yea, that ones alright too.
Posted by KennyFresh, Tue Apr-10-12 05:35 AM
in that "well i guess this doesnt suck & the beat sounds cool-ish" kinda way.

really waiting for this kid to get good.

theres a sign here or there...



but then theres also "Swag Worth A Mill,"
which sounds like it was written in crayon.

and & then also "Sex Sells,"
which makes "The Mall" and "Pussy Galore" seem like "Fight The Power."












maybe i'm old now.
dammit.

2683832, just 19 years old, right?
Posted by Mash_Comp, Mon Apr-09-12 06:52 PM
This is his best work.
2683841, I thought he was 19, but his post says he's 18...
Posted by Crash85, Mon Apr-09-12 07:25 PM
either way... shit is really good and really impressive for someone who was still in highschool a year ago...
2683845, when I worked for MTV, we went to his high school graduation
Posted by Mash_Comp, Mon Apr-09-12 07:47 PM
Dude is dope
2683959, hes so unincredible it makes me want to throw things.
Posted by KennyFresh, Tue Apr-10-12 05:24 AM
or maybe hes so unincredible that he doesnt make me wanna throw a single thing at all.

either way... hes always good for about one song per tape.
this time its "Verified."


his music videos are always impeccable tho,
& these days cool content seems to outweigh being good or halfway interesting by a lot.


so theres that.





















yay hip-hop.

2683964, your ears are fucked
Posted by Delajoo, Tue Apr-10-12 07:11 AM
the production and his rapping on this is on point, objectively speaking. You cannot tell me otherwise,
2683971, i wish i heard it the same way as you.
Posted by KennyFresh, Tue Apr-10-12 07:46 AM
no bullshit, i really do.

i even gave the tape 2-3 full listens,
as i did Sleeping In Class

& its really not a "its gonna grow on me" kinda thing in this case,
its actually just the opposite.
there is very little hear to grasp on to or even care about really.

his writing is way too basic in its approach & cat-in-the-hat'ish in form for me
like every single line the first time i heard it, i'm like "yup. and.....????"

& yea, i guess the beats are cool - some are kinda tight, others not so much.
as a whole, i'm not really mad at em
but they're not really saving the effort as a full project either.


he seems like a real nice guy tho, got a great team behind him
i'm sure he'll continue to do really well, & i'm not mad at him for it

i just wish the standards were a little higher for rapper's rap abilities at the moment,
but again - thats not really his fault either.

i mean... "on point"????? so what.
theres a million rappers releasing stuff right now,
if its not GREAT - keep it away from me.





but like i said... he does have great videos & online presence/content.
he's really winning off of that,
much moreso than i think some of his fans want to admit.

2684087, i understand you
Posted by Delajoo, Tue Apr-10-12 12:52 PM
I think rap is kind of splintering right now between those who define themselves as lyricist first, and those who make mood music in the form of rap. Casey kind of wavers between both, but is definitely making more mood music.

Likewise, the fanbase is kind of sort of doing the same thing, and on a lot of days I just want to hear some cool sounding shit, same as a I feel when Im listening to Based God, or ASAP. Casey is a great SOUNDING rapper, great voice, i love his drawl, and I think he's only going to get better. I think he also says a lot of mature shit for his age. But he's not trying to wow you on some MF Doom/Rakim type highbrowness, most aren't trying either.
2683976, I'ma fan but off first listen I'm really not feeling this
Posted by daskap, Tue Apr-10-12 08:14 AM
I'll have to give it some more burn but right now it doesn't even seem like a step up from Sleeping In Class, which is what I expected since that project dropped over a year ago. Not much improvement on the mic, and these beats outside of a few are iffy at best.
2684118, I didn't like this ...EArl killed it
Posted by Menphyel7, Tue Apr-10-12 02:06 PM
2684120, I love this joint.
Posted by kayru99, Tue Apr-10-12 02:11 PM
Optimistic young folk...imagine that!

Makes me wonder about why Tyler tries to ride the dark, angry punk thing so much... OFWGKTALMNOPWGUWGUVUTFFIYHV's music otherwise has a pretty good feel to it.

2684222, Casey needs to work with Woody more
Posted by Brotha Sun, Tue Apr-10-12 05:28 PM
30,000 and Toe Tag are bangers
2684267, i cant get into him
Posted by LES, Tue Apr-10-12 07:26 PM
hes just kinda bland to me
2684330, just saw the production credits and noticed no Brandun Deshay
Posted by daskap, Tue Apr-10-12 08:48 PM
he was missed on here, he's given Casey some dope beats in the past, really not feeling the production on this one at all outside a few tracks
2684432, He's dope..still not outstanding
Posted by Heinz, Wed Apr-11-12 04:43 AM
compared to the other people he's competing with

but def not one to sleep on
2684485, I'm really feelin' this tape
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Wed Apr-11-12 09:10 AM
Casey is also one of my favorites among the younger cats, though

The way he rides mid tempo beats is impeccable

He also really knows how to deliver rhymes

He's not a punchline rapper
so anybody expecting that style will be disappointed

He's just a guy who knows how to deliver some slick talk
Overall, I just enjoy listening to his stuff
2684692, So after listening to this for a few days...
Posted by Crash85, Wed Apr-11-12 03:51 PM
I really love it... His rhymes haven't improved greatly from Sleeping in Class and the beats are on par and I think a little better than the ones on Sleeping in Class... But this kid is kind of like a breath of fresh air to me... He's a kid rapping about the shit he knows about... I can appreciate that... Kinda takes me back to high school days... He sounds like he's really having fun on this shit...
