Literally all I could think of was trying to remember the Lonnie Liston Smith sample in "Dead Presidents" b/c the melody was so close and yet not. So all I got is that insatiable nag sensation like a giant fissure in my brain.

See this was me being polite!

Collage of history to the now. This is kind of the beginning of rap celebrating itself and it's own history as a statement. By this point rap had existed for over a decade and so you have the old school/new school dynamic already giving way to whole other beasts. Paul was around for so much of...

It's the danger of convincing 'technicians' they're supposed to behave like musicians. De La suffer this plight as well; Aceyalone did too.

It's worse because we were friends before, so it used to be easy for me to rag on her taste somewhat. Now I have to worry about feelings and considerations. You've seen me here, you know I'm not good at that.

My current partner and I are odd. We like a certain amount of things, we're in opposition on others. For example, she owns Aphex's "SAW II" on vinyl and we've heard me rant on and on. Many a time I'll joke "Well someone I like made a bad song, so you'll be sure to love it" and boom.

This is kind of what the idiot energy thread that petered out p. quick kinda meant to be in some respects. People kind of think of idiocy/hooliganism in a inherently negative connotation, as a prescriptive element rather than it's more freeing, characteristic elements. Hendrix was essentially...

I've been that hateful but I've never been that old yet. Also imagine me defending as terrible a video as "Windowlicker", ha!

Arrogance. There's a great Costello quote "All my songs are about guilt and revenge".

Nah man, the Resident Evils already went way past it man. Guy's one of the real heroes.

It follows as such then that everything has to do more in imagery. Everything's a next further abstracted sense, we've already transcended the diamonds are like ice, now they're ice and what does ice have to do? How do you transmute the extension of the metaphor, thus overruling the real...

Used this example probably on here at least once, but several times in that Gucci is the reverse of the Rakim phrase "take a phrase that's rarely heard/flip it, now it's a daily word" in that he deliberately made the same subjects and material as abstracted as possible. One of my faves is off...

Not even agressively, it's not heat anymore: its smoke

I think the thing there is that Grime is one of the last cases where it was an urban music that couldn't be EDMified. You think about how Trap becomes that Trap dance genre or later latin musics become "Tropical House" for this big umbrella field. The productions of US Trap and the producers...

The thread does get campy though. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5FuNhLadSOo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315"...

I guess that's why I've fallen into flooding the board w/ K-Pop atm. It's obviously an interest of mine and I enjoy it but also I know its a diffusive element that causes discomfort and irritation as an experience, more so than the rap or the metal/hardcore stuff in its way for people. I'm not...
