petter, sanna & hugo over at swedish podcast "vad blir det för rap" ("what's the rap")* gave me an heads up on this swedish rapper when they played her song "det finns alltid mer att ge" (there's always more to give") awhile back and i didn't think much of that to be honest. however some weeks ago petter decided to play her new song "vill inte bli som dig" ("don't want to be like you") and again on the first listen i didn't like it.
on the second listen though i did get it and it's because of two reasons, her flow and the piano in the intro. for the latter it reminds me of the hook of jungle/hardcore classic "lords of the null-lines" by hyper-on experience. a track that i love because of it's everything but the kitchen sink-mentality and crazy flips and drops. because of the way rap is sometimes you will tolerate mediocre rap if the track is kicking but in this instance the beat is secondary to the rap.
she may sound royally pissed of but "vill inte bli som dig" is much like the rap coming out of the states, basically rap about how the listener is second to the rapper at hand. even though i like her flow and her thesis on how much i suck, i take these claims as seriously as chief keef, azealia banks or 50 cent. i.e. none but as long as they can spit hot fire i will listen to it, except for wack people like curtis jackson or chief keef.
