I remember when I first heard this record a couple years ago being shocked by how aggressively amusical and bizarre the shit was. Stop you dead in your tracks <em>what the fuck am I listening to<\/em> type bizarre. The beat was buried by sporadic gunshots, the half rhymes delivered in between giant breathing gaps and mixed lower than the adlibs. I know some of the more conservative hip hop listeners see Waka as a destructive force but personally this is why I listen to music &#8211; to hear things that don\u2019t sound like things I\u2019ve already heard.<\/p>\n<p>Today, in the wake of\u00a0 \u201cHard In The Paint\u201d and \u201cBMF\u201d becoming unexpected radio hits and Lil B consciously turning the Brick Squad sound progressive, it a makes a lot more sense. Lately I\u2019ve been thinking about how a lot of recent hip hop &#8211; street hip hop, which is to say real hip hop, that which hasn\u2019t yet been polished by Jimmy Iovine &#8211; is entering a sort of punk period where technical competence is pushed completely to the background as a stylistic choice in favor of raw aggression and emotion. And then old people are like <em>BUT THEY\u2019RE ONLY PLAYING THREE CHORDS<\/em> and young people are like <em>duh<\/em>. 1000 years from now \u201cGun Sounds\u201d will be seen the rebirth of all this shit, a necessary reset. Well, either that or it\u2019s going to be a footnote, overshadowed by very important hip hop pioneers Drake and B.O.B.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>regardless of how the history books rewrite this shit into some hiphop rock the bells bullshit bizzaro version of history 1017 really is making some of the most game changing shit right now. The drake mold isn&rsquo;t shit, it&rsquo;s the easy route. what? fucking autotune your raps? when you compare it to the things like this the motherfucker is making holocaust movies trying to pull on your hiphop heartstrings while waka is just rolling where ever his aggression takes him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"attribution\">(<span>Source:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldstarhiphop.com\/\">http:\/\/www.worldstarhiphop.com\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.worldstarhiphop.com\/videos\/e\/16711680\/wshhSFdHyfIgX86j3OAI tumblinerb: Waka Flocka Flame &#8211; \u201cLuv Them Gun Sounds\u201d (Brick Squad, 2010) Better-late-than-never video treatment for this, the definitive Flocka jam.
