Smokepurpp Bitch I Love the Beef
Deadstar 2
The cover of Smokepurpp'south first commercial mixtape "Deadstar" was based on a photo of deceased performance artist GG Allin, and consequently the cover of "Deadstar 2" is based on a photo of grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain. If you went into Omar Jeffery Pineiro'south torso of piece of work based solely on this cognition, you lot might think he was creating a library of rap music designed to be provocative, controversial, cutting edge, or all of the above. Both artists struggled with (and died because of) substance abuse, and while Cobain's work was the more commercially successful, one could argue Allin was just every bit influential. He pushed against societal norms and was ofttimes arrested before or even during his live performances — defecating on stage being a prominent feature.
I regret to tell you that Pineiro'due south latest album has neither the pop entreatment of Nirvana nor the wildly unorthodox beliefs of Allin, though "Deadstar ii" shouldn't actually be judged in comparison to either of those two. Despite his deliberate choice of album covers for this series, Smokepurpp isn't a crossover artist nor a provocateur. His only connection to either man is a predilection for opiates, narcotics and intoxicants. That actually makes him more like his friend Lil Pump plus other "Tuned up and turnt out" rappers similar Trippie Redd and the late XXXTentacion. The biggest deviation is that Purpp leans more toward rapping than singing, but however breaks out the croon-tune for songs like "On Purppose".
When he drops bars the topics are strictly flossing, living it upwards, showing off and celebrating. "Audi Ii" demonstrates this perfectly: "I don't need hoes, I need bags/I had the bank pull a millie out cash/I do that shit merely to brag/I dearest to flex on my exes and laugh". The song's success may just be considering everybody loves a bad guy. Wrestling fans don't love Chris Jericho or Ric Flair because they practise what'due south correct or help out those in need, they love them because they strut like a peacock and brag nearly how successful they are. Smokepurpp would make a perfect heel.
"Dirty Muddied" featuring Lil Skies is more of the same. "Transport me your location, I'll pull up right now/Fume a dumb north*gga like a black and mild/From the muddied…/Dirty dirty n*gga, I got mud in my cup/All she wanna do is put some shots in her butt/Big F'n, got a little boner it gon' bust/my exes even so phone call me trying to fuck." Thank you to Diego Ave, Apex Martin and Dez Wright the track has enough bump to keep things moving.
If y'all had any doubt that all Smokepurpp cares near is celebrating and making his haters mad, "Reddish Bottoms" should be the bottom line because Omar Pineiro said and so. It'due south besides where Purpp becomes virtually similar his comrades in backlog: "I own't got no heart… addict at my middle… I can't park my car". Alive fast and die immature seems to be the motto for today's generation and I worry that Pineiro won't last much longer given the electric current manufacture trends.
Sometimes in the midst of his bragging and conspicuous consumption, picayune nuggets of humour pop in. "I don't gotta say I'thousand rich, northward*gga it's proven … I just made a bitch suck my dick cause she toothless". I'k not saying "Stevie" isn't a horribly misogynist series of sentiments, simply much like Ric Flair vowing to take girls for a ride on "Space Mountain" if they were 18 or older, it'south not that difficult to understand where he's coming from. He's enjoying the potency of his primacy and prevailing over poverty. Information technology'south an unapologetic rock and whorl, sexual practice and drugs lifestyle at its finest. His duet with Denzel Curry "What I Please" thus defines information technology exactly — he does exactly what he wants, when he wants, in all ways at all times.
As far every bit depth is concerned, the only depth yous'll find is the Scrooge McDuck sized bins of cash he's pond in; the only substance you lot'll find is straight up substance abuse. Years agone (and I mean literal decades ago) when somebody asked me to defend such vacuous conspicuous consumption in rap songs, I immediately quipped back "And I suppose you'll defend Van Halen and the Rolling Stones?" Sure information technology was a inexpensive shot but the signal yet stands — it'south meant to entertain, not teach morality. You might as well complain that heavy metallic creates devil worshippers and video games create mass murderers. Oh wait — people already do that. Bluntly information technology'southward absurd to suggest that man beings have and so picayune gratuitous will or cocky control that they're going to do shit just because they consumed mass media that talks about it. I don't think the readers of Edgar Allen Poe all became psychotic killers, and no 1 e'er suggested that they did.
That's neither hither nor in that location though. Is "Deadstar 2" good music? That's a circuitous question. It's well produced. That's a given. It's an piece of cake 40+ minutes of music to mind to. The discipline thing is a bit repetitive, but Smokepurpp'due south charisma is higher up boilerplate and his trend to AutoTune and sing his manner through songs is below average, so that also works in his favor. My just trouble with recommending "Deadstar 2" is that there are only two or three tracks out of 17 I'd listen to more than than once. I usually prefer longer albums and so I commend him for the effort, only I actually recollect Smokepurpp might be better served in smaller doses.
