Kreayshawn Is Good and Weird, Odd Future Guys Agree

The first time we noticed Kreayshawn, she was smoking a blunt with Lil B while he danced topless to a Soulja Boy boy song. This was during the late-2009 heyday of based uploads, and hers was the presence of a #rare second human in a Lil B video. Then we started seeing director credits—she did B’s “Like A Martian” and that insane slow-mo Stalker video with all the dread-shaking. Last year, she put out a mixtape that was more weird than good, and it kind of felt like that was that.

Then a month ago we saw her second show ever, where she rapped about burning a house down like she was Left Eye and super-lazily dancing in platform boots with a nose ring connected to her ear, and good and weird felt like the same thing. “Gucci Gucci” is one of the finest of her new tracks, a not-reprehensible beat-blend of Drumma Boy and dub wobble, with an ingenious inversion of a traditional rap hook. The video is theoretically pretty normal, but watching Kreayshawn rap and care more about inventing gang signs than dancing, supported silently by her possible sister/possible Parent Trap digi-clone, is like trying to make sense of Hello Kitty on Dextromethorphan. Multiple Odd Future cameos lend a little credibility, but just one look at Kreayshawn’s pink-balloon mouse headband makes it clear she’s inventing this space for herself.

    Bad enough that hip hop is in a total state of sh*t. Now add one wigger with bad 808 beats and sh*t can only get worst. Fader is this b*tch paying you for articles? This makes me want to hop on the B44.. ride straight into Williamsburg and start kicking your dumb hipster asses!

  4. lawrence says:

    i dunno. if you ask me, people need to get over the fact that odd future is in this video and listen to the song. shit’s jamming to me.

  5. Lefty says:

    Kreayshawn is like Ke$ha, Gangsta Boo & Hello Kitty wrapped into a small package of an Oakland raised white chick. She’s really talented in directing & shooting videos, if her music career won’t take off, she’s definitely gonna go very far in films, go peep her youtube if u don’t believe what ur reading.

  12. kaiser says:

    i think i’ve been a bit of a hip-hop purist/snob for 20ish years. just started to ease up lately.

    so people like kreayshawn and lil b no longer feel out of place. weird, yeah, but i guess weird people like weird things. dumb people like weird things. aware people like weird things. if people want to keep hip-hop to:

    1) flow & rhyming
    2) lyrical dexterity (borderline saying shit for shit’s sake)
    3) gangsta/material shit

    that’s fine. but i’m not sure how many more decades i want of just that. let people have fun with it and let’s see if something new forms and sticks. life isn’t about sticking yourself in one box, otherwise hip-hop would’ve never existed.

    in short, stop squashing creative experiments. you people are boring.

  13. Tragik says:

    support KREAYSHAWN + her movement, this song slaps and this girl is part of a new breed of artists, DO IT YOURSELF AND MAKE IT HAPPEN YOURSELF !

    SWANK

  15. Smoked Out Prowler says:

    @ Sticky Mike The funny thing about this “wigger” is that if she saw you in the street she’d probably pull the burner on you and shoot … However if she by chance missed ,DB The General would pop out the bushes and make sure your brains were left splattered on the cement. East Oakland born and raised. From Dame Grease & Max B in Harlem to DB in Oakland she is respected and gets the pass….You troll the internet and cry about the state of hiphop. Suck a dick for 2011 hoe.

  21. PayoffBrand says:

    Kreayshawn is what the game’s been missing. A female emcee who’s self-sufficient and talented as well as in charge of her sexuality without engaging in degradation of other women. I don’t see why it took for Odd Future to cosign her for some of you to see her as a legitimate contender but that’s neither here nor there. At the end of the day, a swagged out, wavy ass tatted up white girl who’s also a dope ass artist besides just music is FUCKING SWAG!

  22. @_toomuchfun says:

    This has yay area rep. all over it. hot punk raver hip hoppin weed smokin’ 40 drinkin’ lesbian chicks all the way in ’11.

  23. mo green says:

    its like shes playing little kid wants to rap or something. did she credit a highschool credit for this? I can’t see anyone actually wanting to hear this song, but who knows…… say youre a bad bitch enough times and maybe someone will believe you.

  24. ryan says:

    glad she commented on her own post so she could validate her *existence* in hip-hop. if it’s not about the music though, as she says, it would been nice if she’d just muted the video before uploading so we didn’t all have to go through that.

  30. strike_a_poseur says:

    Basic. That is all bitches.

  31. strike_a_poseur says:

    But you know what, I want to see a fuller body of work before I judge her skills as a performer. I give her props for video direction. <– Be the bad bitch in that field as it is lacking talent.

  32. strike_a_poseur says:

    Kreayshawn – consider taking your bad bitch self to directing (yes, that was a compliment). There’s a lack of talent in that realm and little to no females on the rise.

  33. KREAYSHAWN ONE HOOD ASS NIGGA SOOWOOOP BITCH MOB WE IN DIS ~~ HATERS DRINK BLEACH ~~ CATCH DA WAVE OR GET WASHED OUT~~

  34. K Real keezy says:

    She got swag pumpin out her ovaries! MORE KREAYSHAWN.

    Fuck, I wanna see her live, but I’ll be in LA. Please come to LA and do a show!!

  35. It’s annoying that yet again a woman needs male validation in an article (FUCK ODD FUTURE), but happy to see Kreayshawn none the less. This video is hot.

  36. WHYNOTGETHIGH says:

    KREAYSHAWN IS THE FEMALE PAC! WHITE GIRL MOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. richmonddame says:

    lmfao. its prolly her replying to every diss, shit if you aint ready for da haters dont be a white female rapper with minimal rapping skills. & there aint no such thing as a universal hood pass, if you and yo il white girl mob come thru my hood talkin dat mess, your black people might be cool with white bitches callin dem niggas, but if they dont know you they prolly aint okay wit it. i guess you forgot real thugs move in silence, all the gun talk in the world, is just that, GUN TALK. you ain max b sweetheart; & every bitch on the internet has your swag, impress people with your talent not your overdone gangsta image, or the buzz you steal from oddwolf. stop trying so hard to show youre from the hood, i mean you obviously are but damn thats not whats guna get you famous. LEARN HOW TO RAP B4 YOU CALL YOURSELF A RAPPER.

    SHES HAS A DECENT FAN BASE DICK HEAD SHE DONT GOTTA REPLY UNDER FAKE NAMES….AND SHE DONT BE SAYING NIGGA LIKE THAT…..GET OVER IT MAN….IF YOU DONT LIKE THE MUSIC COOL BUT YOU GOING OVERBOARD WITH ALL THAT BULLSHIT YOU TALKIN

  40. richmonddame says:

    SiKE you fuckin mark. highschool kids can go head and keep defending her im not really trippin. ima fuckin critic, & she DO be sayin nigga like that, shes jus smart enough to not put it on blast like her dumbass sister. the reason i dont like tyler the creator is because he tries really hard to seem like he doesnt give a fuck, kreayshawn tries really hard to show how hood she is, its pathetic, she says she wants to be a role model for young girls, but shes talkin bout sellin coke and holdin choppas, WTF is her purpose, to get noticed cause of how she looks, & the fact that shes WHITE, if she was black no one would give her no mind. people dont follow this trick for her music, thats my only problem, hip-hop has become false gangstas platform for proving how large their egos are & females are no different.

  41. @SPAGHETTO says:

    i support kreayshawn. she works her ass off. while you guys are here wasting your time talking shit she prolly already filmed someone’s video, recorded a song, did a photo shoot, fed her cats, smoked 5 blunts, and got all your bitches horny.

  42. DPxChurchST says:

    They’ve been on the rise, no one can stop them now

    SHES USING HER TALENT TO TRY AND MAKE SOMETHING OUT HERSELF…..GUESS SHE SHOULD BE OUT HER SELLING HER PUSSY OR SOMETHING RIGHT??

    AND SHE CANT HELP THE FACT THAT SHES WHITE….ITS NOT LIKE SHE CHOSE TO BE WHITE….SHES JUST REPPIN WHAT SHE IS
