Baby Keem - The Melodic Blue (Discussion Thread)

[BobbyWojak]

This was a fun listen

But overall I was hoping for more, I rather he go for a safer sound if every other song is gonna be a dud.

one of the worst albums I've heard this year. there is not one song I'd go back to.
(should have knew this was going to terrible off of his haircut)

I wasn't a fan of this kid with his first two tapes that Cardo helmed but I could see the vision and where they wanted to go
but this is a sharp left turn. its terrible. he's a bad mix of Carti, Kendrick and Roddy and the production isn't strong enough to put up with him.

if you ever saw Waves, the main character in the first half of the film is the type of people who this album was made for.

shout out to Kendrick though... he's at the point were people can't/won't dare be critical of him or anything he's involved in.

I’m so curious what this sells

if it’s anything above like 40k , something fishy going on…nobody really even knew who this nikka was until like 2 weeks ago lol

Anyway, DIE FOR MY bytch is a better project…but there’s a few good tracks on here…the intro caught me off guard, that shyt turned up quick

I mean he’s gotten a hyped up Kendrick feature and a placement on Kanye’s album in the last month… I think that put him on everybody’s radar and good timing with his release. I don’t love the album but I feel like it’s been a great rollout for a new artist. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does good numbers

I haven’t peeped yet and while I get he’s family…leaving TDE and putting all your chips on this guy seems wild. This is supposed to be his breakout project and I just can’t imagine it doing the numbers they want.

Kdot got more verses on this shyt than the last three years of TDE projects.

baby keem been on my radar a few years ago. love what hes doing. this project a little different but he just evolving. im loving it personally

 

[The G.O.D II]

This dude is the most blatant and obvious industry plant I’ve ever seen. Not to mention ugly af too

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

he does the "street single" angle better than kendrick IMO. Wouldn't be surprised if Kendrick was swiping his cousin's swag lowkey

 

[Guvnor]

Keem Reminds me of Uzi,Future and Thug but not done nearly as well.

I hate it!

With that said on Range Brothers, Kendrick saying Top of the morning. Was that a subliminal or was he just trolling.

 

[CrushedGroove]

This is cool. I think I'm just on to mature rap now. I like smooth shyt with slick lines and wisdom.

 

[MoneyTron]

This shyt is fun as hell.

I'm always happy when someone comes out with something different.

Is Baby Keem a great artist? Nah, but it kept my attention.

Range Brothers is hilarious in all 3 parts. I'm making "TOP O THE MORNING" my morning alarm.

Scars sounds like Gen Z 808's and Heartbreak. I'm with it.

yup keem is the worst part of his own album. The beats are creative enough but he just misuses that space throughout. The nerve of that nikka to be like him and kendrick created new languages when he hasnt even come close to mastering rap. He also sounds like he got no play before he started rapping, he literally talks about women like he lost his virginity yesterday.

It definitely wont. To make it doing this type of rap you either need to garner a decent a fanbase or have a single that will draw people in to wanting to hear more. He just sounds so new to this that I really dont care to try to let the album grow on me. Hes experimenting without the base skill to thrive at the most basic level of rap.

 

[CookDat]

This lil nikka is kinda ass at rapping and got a slightly annoying voice so most of the project dont do much for me, but theres some undeniable bangers on here. Overall I'd give this a 6/10

He got potential to be real good but this project just aint it
