Now if we referred to NYC as my father, I would say yes. But that is because I recognize that NYC culturally is enforced by caricature and pandering and it becomes this sort of histrionic self-imposed cartoon of living up to stupid expectations. Exaggerated Brooklyn Accents, Faux Swagger, Dated...

It's less the touchstones/dogmas of my father and a recognition of the limitation of a pre-access world that has led to false narrative. My dad and me agree more often than we don't, and in some ways he's more irreverent than I. He loved Lil Pump and xxxtentacion way before I did. Said it...

This comes out fucked I'm gonna scrap this whole thing and it'll be your fault! I warn you!

Inevitably we are all fighting the disease of Britishness wherever we hail from on this forum.

I disagree. A major problem is that rap's canon was written by New York and Los Angeles because those are the two major media access points in America, meanwhile America at large is... well insanely big. This is the antithesis of Luka's theorems where constantly all of England is actually...

I give the impression a 2.5 personally but I'm lazy.

*Thirdform vox* Coldcut? Bourgeois faux-dadaist Wankbritannica at it's finest. A complete Robin Hood cosplay attempt via the access to samplers and pastiche as cheeky detachment and lack of ideas masquerading as being compatriots to a Grandmaster Flash. Stuff like this is what leads us to...

The rhythmic languages of 90s hip-hop via sampled drums were a false flag. Sampling was a false flag.

How are we doing youtube links now, everything's different at this point.

It's Yours is the only modern hip-hop song of the 80s. Everything you described is New Yorker music, it has nothing to do with American hip-hop's evolution.

I lived in New Jersey for 4 years, goodness gracious.

Late to this, but I came here for Blackdown and he doesn't even post here anymore. Though obviously I'd read Reynolds' stuff and I recognize the lineage here. But idk. Over the years I've grown out of his perspective, and I say that as someone who has enjoyed our occasional exchange. Especially...

East Coast production actually gets worse from about 95 to 01 or 02. NYC has a neanderthalism, ludditism.

God, I'm realizing I'm maybe ready for my own list. Did anyone post a thread for that yet or was I supposed to do my own?

I think this music is good. I'm sure Luka has an explanation about how if I do DMT in the marsh at 3:28 AM I'll learn to transcend when music is good or bad, but you know... that's how you end up befriending Barty.

I love the idea that Barty is sobbing somewhere every time he hears a drill rapper over something with a piano that doesn't sound filtered into monochrome and minor key.

I do have to say, Kraftwerk got slapped in NYC by breakdancers so the implication it's posh-boy stuff... Maybe in the Midwest... After all, Electro was the real techno of America for far longer than the 'proper' techno was.

I'm ngl, I'm furious that a French Montana thread happened long after Younger Dissensus Crew left this behind save Odai, who OF COURSE would turn up his nose at this. Disgraceful.

Third, we really need to figure out how to get you mixing and producing already.
