Albums Baby Keem -- “Casino” (Discussion Thread)

[Heretic]

Yea this only gets better with every listen. Short and concise. He's got a knack for Kendricks ability to come up with catchy hooks and melodies. It's prolly why Kendrick took a liking to him.

Don't really like the voice cracking shyt he does sometimes. Trying too hard to sound like Kendrick. He's better off just using his regular voice. But I think keem is always gonna be an artist that needs a writing team around him. Don't think he'll ever be a great lyricist or songwriter on his own. But he's got natural musical talent and the ability to get hooks and flows stuck in your head. Which is probably the most valuable skill to have in this game. This is just a very enjoyable and easy listen all the way through. Solid 8/10.

He took a liking to him because that's his cousin, otherwise he'd probably be working at Best Buy with the Geek Squad

Nah Kendrick said he has thousands of cousins and homies trying to be rappers and get put on. But keem is the only one who showed serious promise. Keem obviously has a natural talent for melody. That's the main thing 99% of rappers don't have. The understanding of rhythm and how to actually ride a beat the same way a great singer would. It's a rare ability to have.

The issue I have with him is the same thing I had against Kendrick when I 1st heard him. It took a while to get used to his voice. Otherwise, I agree, he's not bad, he makes good songs but he's several steps below Kendrick IMO.

Nah he'll never be Kendrick. He'll always be a just solid entertaining song maker. But he'll never be elite on that level. He uses writers on pretty much every song. If anything he'll be more in the Kanye lane rather than Kendrick. Producer/artist who's always gonna need help with the pen.

One thing Keem has an advantage over Kendrick is he can harmonious better than him. I agree with the Kanye lane.

I just want the truth
All I want is you
No security is so beautiful, dawg I’m not even exaggerating. Great catch on finding that sample. Great intro, great sample. Lowkey gets me in my feels. Top three off this tape for me.
