gnučči - oh my goodness

i heard "oh my goodness" on radio and was in love but to be honest i am already a fan of gnučči (formerly known as gnucci banana). her quick tongue and flow is only matched by the rhythms she choose to ride over and i thought nothing would be as outrageous as her and mash up internationals version of animal but here they do it again.

i had heard she was releasing an ep as she was putting out a few singles and i thought the really banging cristian dinamarca produced "360 donna" was to be tune that defined gnučči's mastery of her craft to a t and she reupped it. "oh my goodness" is fire from start to end, especially the first verse when she delivers a flow and sharp punchlines that sound like rye rye, leshurr, m.i.a., missy and chip fu all in one.

the common comparison here in sweden is to the previous chanteuse leila k as the both voice & flow is similar. but while i can understand the comparison and it's flattering to an extent, she does perform better lyrically. leila k had the problem of having flow, rhythm and understood how to use to beats to her advantage but she said nothing substantial, even in the context of club tracks where lyrics are secondary.

i understand that there are a ton of male rappers that have the exact problem but there is a really good reason i'll never mention waka flocka flame, gucci mane or whatnot. i don't listen to them and i don't plan to either in any manner of time. now you can turn on me say, then why did you listen to leila k then... a reason. she had actual talent and didn't let the beats do all the work. same goes for gnučči, she is a real talent and does the work with her voice and pull it off well.
