New Pop Rap Find: Kitty Pryde by Russell D
Unlike the iconic X-men she adopted her moniker from, Kitty Pryde cannot walk through walls, but she can spit fierce rhymes about boys, online dating, Taylor Swift, and other random crap that teenage girls obsess over. Her rhymes are so chock full of pop culture references that I went from laughing at her ironic hipster homage, to truly believing that her room is decked out in Justin Bieber posters.
Kitty’s songs are just as catchy as they are addicting. While not the usual thing that BitCandy posts...listening to the rhymes...you have to admit this chick is a talent. Kitty’s backed by poppy beats and low-fi synths on loop, over which she sing-talks her surprisingly effective raps in an electronically-veiled voice, akin to Uffie.
“Okay Cupid” Is the lead single from her self-released EP and the track which has garnered Kitty most of her well-deserved attention. Named after a popular online dating site, it’s no wonder that the song is about a boy she falls for. “Lordy, shorty you’re a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 am, I love them” she admits in her chorus.
“Justin Bieber!!!!!!” Kitty’s first track released way back in 2006, which went under the radar. It features dreampop beats, woozy synths, and humorous lyrics. She describes Bieber as the “lord,” “savior,” and “enlightened one” while giving thanks where thanks is due -- “thanks be to blog.”
“Give Me Scabies” is a saxophone-remix cover of “Call Me Maybe” with surprisingly raw lyrics: “It’s 11:11 when I unlock the Droid / I wish upon a digital clock to stop the void / That increases in depth whenever my heart is toyed with.”
Internet phenomenons like Kitty Pryde come and go, but here’s hoping that this one stays around for a while and gets a shot.
Lyrics To “Okay Cupid”
GET OUT OF MY ROOOOOOOOM
BLEH
Once upon a time, I spied on you
Bud light lime in my hand and I stand over there
And listen to your little lies about your cool life
You say she will be your wife
, but I am
Whites red, irises brown, and your eyes wide
You apologize to me when I see you do a line
, but like
I'm open-minded and it's fine
I don't do the shit, but I don't really mind it
I'm not heartless but I'm hardened, a rotten tooth
It's my party, couldn't cry if I wanted to
And the more you taunt me the more I think I'm wanting you
And ever since, you're the prince and I'm the one that's haunting you
Now you're tryna dip, without me
But I'm the princess, read my lip, it's pouty
And the sky is lookin kinda cloudy so maybe you should stay inside
And you and I can get a little rowdy
Lordy, shorty you're a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 am
I love them
Excuse me, you're a hell of a boy, your cigarette breath
, well I thoroughly enjoy it
Lordy, shorty you're a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 am, I love them
So call me sober when you're ready, not goin steady, but babe I planned our wedding already
I don't care how long it takes to get you after me I wrote our names on my binder
And everybody laughed at me
But it really doesn't matter, you are radder and cooler
A hooligan and my flattery makes me look like a fool again
You are a tool again, but you're the one that I've chosen
I'm not familiar with this type of devotion
I used to be a pimp without emotion but now you got me simpin
And singing the Frank Ocean and thinkin bout you
Ooh no no no, I been thinkin bout you, ooh no no no
I been thinkin bout you, do you think about me?
Lordy, shorty you're a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 am, I love them
So call me sober when you're ready, not goin steady, but babe I planned our wedding already
Lordy, shorty you're a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 am, I love them
So call me sober when you're ready, not goin steady, but babe I planned our wedding already
Just snorted a pill, fellin good..
Just snorted a pill.......
