The undeniable dopeness of " I Don't Like" made me give Chief Keef's major label debut Finally Rich a listen, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that that it isn't whack. It's actually kinda hot.
"But, Drunkunc" I'm sure you are no one is asking, "how can you possibly co-sign an album that says "bitch" roughly 600 times and is as pro-violence as it is misoygnisitic?!".
Because, concerned person me, the songs on this record get new uses out of old material, and that impresses me. Also, it completely serves the purpose it sets out to do while marking a big step forward in a burgeoning career. Therefore, I tolerate the bullshit that comes along with it.
Is this approach to music morally reprehensible? Almost certainly. But is this an effective way to approach music? Maybe.
K, now that that is cleared up.
This record is an exciting, forward-leaning LP disguised as a lowest-common-denominator freshman release by a one-hit wonder. Finally Rich islike buying a '96 Camry only to find that it has NOS under the hood.
The slightly-off-rhythm spitting and oddly infectious hooks coupled with top-tier production make Finally Rich more than worth a listen. But don't just take it on faith:
