audio review : I Don’t Like ( song ) … Chief Keef ( featuring Lil Reese )

This song is all chorus. Not really, but the chorus is virtually indistinguishable from the verses if you happen to be a casual listener, at least until Reese gets on and provides a slight but welcomed change of tone.

It’s about just what the title says; what they don’t like; which could be a creative concept if the two rappers were mindful enough to utilize it. Instead we get a lot of random “niggas” and “bitches”. I do like the beat though.

audio review : Hold My Liquor ( song ) … Kanye West ( featuring Chief Keef + Justin Vernon )

“Calling-up your uncle’s place,” Justin Vernon sings, “Shit’s all over the place”. I guess that part, the song’s melodic highlight, is supposed to be the bridge, but it should be the chorus. The real chorus, sang by an Autotuned Chief Keef, is comparatively lame.

I’m glad he doesn’t rap, but there should be two verses. Kanye West’s one, which reveals a romantic theme undetectable in the “nigga”-ridden hook, makes for a song that’s structurally awkward. Not that the spacey instrumental isn’t a form of drunken tranquility.
