Third said "I don't wanna be Love Bombed" and I responded accordingly. If anything you can go with the idea that there's a timeless notion of pop sugar rushes and that sort of obvious major key bombast of euphoria. There's nothing to it, and inevitably once you've been exposed to it enough...

Pharaoh Sanders Sucks. Anyway this is funny for me because I work in a bar/kitchen and as such I cannot actually sit down and listen to music so a lot of my music listening is skewed. I can't sit down and listen to albums and take them apart because inherently there are Tasks To Accomplish...

THIS is what inspired it. It all makes sense now. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sk_9BVA5sbs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Surprisingly I DON'T but I really should at this point.

Its a complex thing because there's laundering money, there's the notion that these guys might be eccentrics. Certainly have known a few drug dealers who had great taste in music or weird little esoteric stuff because they obviously couldn't stack money. Hell it's not even limited to rap, often...

To be fair most artists in rap at that grassroots level are 'sponsored' in some part by enterprises (often criminal backgrounds). There's that whole disambiguation of "Oh they're not Actual Criminals, they just know the criminals" and often serve as mascots for these people in a sense, but also...

I will admit that while I don't feel necessarily shame for the music I gravitated to in that whole L.A. Beat Scene wave of music (typically everything I liked I still like and everything I hated is just that) I now feel some immense shame at bolstering the tyrannical ego of Flying Lotus like...

Corpse for all my snark on you, you're GENUINELY more of a delight. Also yeah this is my problem with this formula becoming popular. In the hands of older men like Marciano & Ka who are of that generation, it makes perfect sense. When you have these younger acts like the Conway, Westside Gunn &...

I'm actually comfortable with abomination if only because I've told Luka before how I consider Marciano's music 'zombified' in the best ways. Rap, b/c it's an ever moving dialog should keep proceeding and by that right Marciano should be... idk making whatever commercial music Jadakiss tries...

Blissblogger's lived in the US roughly the same amount of time I've been alive, at this point we've traded nationalities if y'all are gonna keep claiming you adopted me. Thus he has no excuse to say things on his blog like "When Schoolboy Q talks about 'hoover street' does he mean the Hoover...

No, I'm saying that them hitting this 2nd stride that's led into the stuff blissblogger champions so readily is in actuality based in the twin realities of image restoration AND sonic restoration. By the time their first proper studio album had dropped, Migos were already considered passe and...

I wouldn't say "Versace" is their High Point but it is a significant record with massive MASSIVE impact on rap in Atlanta and outside. I get Blissblogger wants to histrionically proclaim how much better Migos got once they were applicable to his tastes but it'd be like me saying "Well that time...

I mean blissblogger just called "Versace" doggerel and like, at that point the milk's spoiled here.

This is the conundrum. Think of all the UK music that should've been covered by poptimists if they acted like the first generation of poptimists such as Tom Ewing and the like; UK Drill would've been on their radar. The J-Huses, infinitely so. Yet you ask who they know and if it's more urban...

OK so rockism is actually partially what it's popular perception goes under, but in reality it's all about group dynamics, live connected interplay. It's v. close to Pattycakes tastes in my perception (not to bash him but to illustrate). Its not about how LPs are superior to Singles but rather...

Yeah that's wrong. Tomorrow I'll fix it.

Quick question, does anyone here know the actual definitions of poptimism and rockism?

Have you ever followed Greg Tate on social media? It's very depressing how cut off he makes himself from modern society. Sees 'mainstreamification' in everything. Would he be able to comprehend or handle Drill of either the US or UK mannerisms? No, instead he goes with the mythos of J Dilla as a...
