Konsistensi? 10
Jumat, 16 Okt '09 02:22
I used to like Saykoji. Mungkin nggak banyak yang tahu, mungkin lebih banyak yang nggak percaya but that's the truth. Back then I was impressed by his single, "Hiphopku". Liriknya enak, ngeflow, honest and raw. Some people said he's trying so hard, some people said he's pretentious, I said he put a good effort on it. Gw jujur aja udah lama nggak denger hip hop yang impresif sejak jaman Pesta Rap. Here's the song (taken from his own Youtube channel) :
See what I mean? I personally always hate the so-called commercial hip-hop. Call me a cynic, but I'm not into buying an album and listen to product placement. And for me, this song fulfill what I want to hear from a hip-hop song.
Time goes by, "So What Gitu Loh?" keluar, and I'm still pretty impressed. It's a great kick in the ass for the so-called 'anak mama' yang sering banget posing-posing dengan duit hasil malakin orang tua. Untuk lagu ini kayaknya gw masih bisa tersenyum dengerinnya, meskipun jujur aja jadi sangat overused. But hey, that's good for the man. He gain the fame he deserved.
Again, time goes by and I don't hear any of his work again. Mungkin karena gw sendiri sibuk dengan band dan segala kerjaan gw, atau jatah hip hop di otak gw udah kemakan sama racun yang namanya Kungpow Chicken, entahlah. Berita yang masuk cuma cerita soal dia jualan "psycho-beat" di forum, bikin lagu dengan judul Kecoak Ngesot, Jomblo, or some shit like that. Gw pribadi mikir positif aja: a man gotta make money, dan lagu begini yang laku biasanya yang lucu-lucuan. Nggak percaya? Lihat aja Project Pop.
Then suddenly one video popped up, THIS:
Oh. My. Dear. Lord. I don't know where to begin. Cadillac Escalade? Blackberry? IPod? Why are you showing it off to the camera? I know it somehow connected to the song, but seriously, Escalade? Is that really necessary, because it contradict your own song just few years back. Right now I can't see you as a soldier anymore. The music is gone, the lyrics you used to have now is replaced by few word-that-rhymes.
Okay, to be fair dia sekarang aktif sebagai aktivis internetnya #indonesiaunite. Good idea, good intention, better point of view. Kayaknya dia satu di antara sedikit orang di sana yang berani untuk tidak menempuh jalan pintas terlihat nasionalis dengan cara nyampahin internet pake kata "Malingsia". Cuma entah kenapa aktivitas dia di internet dibarengi dengan produksi lagu yang kontraproduktif. Semuanya jadi buru-buru, liriknya jadi pantun empat baris, entahlah. Sayang aja kualitas lagunya jadi declining seiring dengan niat yang bagus untuk lebih cepat peduli.

/bahasapolitikanalagi xD
Want me to compare him with Koil that gave their whole album for free and still remains the same musically, lyrically, and performance-wise (gimbalnya Otong aside) until today?
And not to mention showing off things that's not his, but hey. The guy answered, and I guess everyone have their own thought about it, so yeah... I guess deadeye doll was right.
Dan selamat telah menjadi artis pertama yang nanggapin tulisan di sini
