Her video and song with Riff Raff is actually quite good but she is quickly devolving into a web of internet memes and high school semantics. But honestly what else can you expect from a 19 year old girl with well off parents that got attention from the internet.
So what does everyone think about Kitty Pryde?
She is cute (very very cute) & "Orion's Belt" with Riff Raff was my jam of last summer, but I'm pretty over Kitty Pryde at this point. Nothing going on beneath the surface to keep me around. She's like cotton candy- fluffy & sweet & cute but ultimately it's just sugar at the end of the day.
Fuck I came in here ready to talk about what a dick Colossus was for cheating on Kitty Pryde during the Secret Wars event. Instead I got to listen to a shitty song with the most obnoxiously obnoxious repeating beat and lyrics that just sound like incoherent rambling. This is not good, but hey that's just like my opinion man.
As a Floridian I made the special effort to go see her play at a local venue just to boo her off the stage. I'm also one of the few that have gotten to boo Kreyshawn off the stage. Basically you can say I'm doing God's work here.

@thabigred: I actually heard there was one particularly bad show where they boo'd her so hard she cried which makes it kinda mean but also kinda appropriate and funny.
You know what, this is a successful thread by all accounts

Thats all kinds of fucked up... I won't support it, but I won't condemn it either.
I tried listening to her other stuff. All I can say is this whole hipster type rap is just not for me (Three Loco excluded as I think Milonakis is a genius)
Um, whoever mixed this audio needs to find a new career.
Also, that song wasn't good, and it wasn't bad in a good way, it was just plain bad.
I only like hiphop from the early 90's. At some point along the way the majority of the people doing that style forgot that, even though rap is a spoken word style, it is still music and must still play in conjunction with the instruments. These days most of it seems to be talking according to no tempo in particular over a drum beat that never changes. Which sucks.

Better than Chippy Nonstop. I don't know how Jeff could stand that rapper, she was so obnoxious! Kitty seems like she might be okay, at least technically, but this song didn't do it for me. Sounded kinda boring, like it was all intro. And like it was mixed poorly.
Chippy and Ryan Davis tweet at each other sometimes. I dunno, maybe they know each other?

That's horrible. I don't care what you think of her music, that's not right. She's just a kid and by all accounts, seems like a nice girl.
I like Kitty Pryde to a certain extent. Clearly not as much as you but she has a couple of good songs. This one has some mixing problems but I liked the beat and may listen a couple more times to see if the lyrics are any good.
One of the best things in the underground rap scene may be quite a stretch though
@Humanity: @HaltIamReptar: @Manhattan_Project: @Milkman: Too be fair to Kitty Pryde, I did boo her but it wasn't a veracious boo. More of a light hearted boo so that they got the point not to linger so the next act would come up. With Kreyshawn it was a "I hate everything you stand for" kind of boo.
She raps about not being into brands with that first hit she had, then she shills for a bunch of brands in the chorus.
@Milkman: DEFINITELY could always be worse not sure about audio levels on that video.
I really only like this song from her, probably because it has a much better beat than her other stuff.

Rap isn't dead when there is artists like Kendrick Lamar selling over 500k.
I think that just goes to prove that rap is dead.

You can only hear nothing but pain in their voices and see nothing but pain in their eyes the more they insist on being OK with what happened.
Ehhhh...she's a cute redhead so that makes me wanna like her, and she's got decent flow but I'm not a fan. For my money Nova Rockafeller is where it's at for adorable white girl rappers.

Real bold statement there, but to counter that, there are still artists like Killer Mike, El-P, Action Bronson, Danny Brown, A$AP Rocky, Macklemore, Joey Bada$$, & Big K.R.I.T. who are more than worthy to carry the torch.
Then again, I don't know of any legitimate rap fan who equates Kendrick Lamar with the death of rap, so maybe Waka is more your scene.

That's very possible, I didn't know they communicated through Twitter. Or maybe just talking her music up got her attention? They're both Bay Area locals, I think, so I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other in some way. Either way, Chippy Nonstop is teeeeeeeerrible! I think she came through my little college town not too long ago, I wonder how that went.
I really don't know why this whole thread isn't counted as Youtube spam. You had a good write up but in the end - all you really showed was a video. And no I don't think it was any good, her voice isn't strong enough and there's no melody.
And not all rap is just "black dudes telling us how many bitches they've fucked". For example:

I see what you are saying, but there are genuinely talented rappers out there. It's just, as with most music, you have to look for it because it doesn't usually hit the top 40 playlists.
Not too impressed with the track overall. Too me she was really quiet and hard to hear and I would rather not listen to it again, but I do like her voice. I like more DMX big voice shit. Kreayshawn was hella fun too, but I don't see Kitty being the next Kreayshawn. At least, not with this song.
@Trav: http://twitter.com/chippy_nonstop/status/246777736100732928 is what I was thinking of. Seems like a weird thing if they don't.
@Demoskinos: you shoulda known better than to expect the gb community to have any musical taste outside of their familiar boxes , let alone be civil and not just bash it. :/
that said , i find her ok , it was that damn riff raff song with her that made me dislike her , or the kind of production she likes .. i dunno .. them looped vocal samples get annoying after a while .. but yeah .. also dont hope she ends up in a ditch or anything .. so good luck to her ?
