  1. ^that's some profound shit cuh

    but if they don't like mf doom, why are they at a lecture? i seriously want to make a gif of this dude who goes from passive head nod to full on napping in 5 seconds.

    all that shit aside though, it was cool to see him candid, I've never seen him in interviews before so this was a nice treat.

  2. He's a kid who raps and listens to hip hop. I don't picture him, or SpaceghostPurrrrp, or Main Attrakionz, or any of that camp as the type that would pore over lyrics and study the artist's relationship to the music in order to form a style of their own, or attempt some sort of aggregate meta rap style in order to wow listeners and capture the widest market. There's good hip hop from everywhere, and all of it is influential in its own way. All the shit people say about Rocky is derived from their own confusion as to how this marriage of styles occurred. I really struggle to imagine Rocky sitting down when he wrote his verse to Purple Swag and be like "Man, I'm gonna hit them with some Lord Infamous for 8", or "Man, I'm gonna Drake these hoes". The music would be horrible and obviously contrived if that were the case. Historicity breathes through all music, Rocky is just a more open vessel to the fact and doesn't fight it. The production behind him is top notch and could easily mesh with a myriad of styles, and that's exactly what he and his cohorts deliver: a weird amalgamation of styles past and present. And I think it's fucking dope.

  3. I fucking hate @noz. Really I can't think of a professional music critic I do like, but he's particularly annoying. This hoe should write for Forbes or some shit. I doubt he even likes music. How can you have all this knowledge of one genre and constantly be so off point?

  4. I'm curious what everyone's favorite releases were this year. not as a platform to argue on but in case anyone's missed anything dope, this year has been fucking crazy good.

    in no real order

    Kendrick Lamar - Section.80

    Future - True Story

    Danny Brown - XXX

    ASAP - LiveLoveA$AP

    Big KRIT - Returnof4Eva

    Main Attrakionz - Chandelier, 808s and Dark Grapes II

    Smoke DZA - Rolling Stoned (I didnt like dude as much at first, but I find myself playing this now)

    SGP - Blackland

    G-Side - The One…Cohesive

    Clams Casino - Instrumentals, Rainforest EP

    Currensy - Weekend at Burnie's, Verde Terrace

    also The Weeknd, Terius Nash, Frank

    check those if you haven't. The Kendrick especially imo.

    list covers everything i've been jamming for the most part, although I didn't like clam's new tape.

    I think Juicy J & Lex Luger - Rubbaband Bidness pt2 is a worthy inclusion too.

    I'm realizing now I never gave Pusha T's solo a full listen, had a few people say it was pretty good.. Can anyone verify?

  5. yo, maybe I wasn't clear, but I'm past the mystery secrete game peacock tactics wack ass phase in my life, that shit's just unnecessary and designed for failures. as a person I'd like to just be sincere in everything I do, but I'm just at a loss since this is some real shit I've never processed before. this is not about me getting this girl to like me, this isn't about doing the right thing to get me laid via consolation, I just want to be able to say something comforting despite having no words.

    perhaps this is why I never ask for advice, I always reject it when I get it. I'll do ma own thang and hopefully it will work out for the better. thanks

  6. yeah definitely understand what you're saying. my worry is that everything I'll say is like overly cold and calculated. but really I'm even catching emotions from this, just met her parents recently and really hit it off, and so this news is hard for me to take, especially given my lack of experience in family deaths/health issues, not that more experience necessarily makes it easier... i just want to be as supportive as i can

  7. my gyal found out today her mom has breast cancer. this is one of the hardest things I've had to navigate emotionally/rationally in my life. fuck, I haven't even lost a family member in my lifetime -- worst loss was putting down my doggy. anyone have any advice on how to properly console/give support? I'm for once at a total loss on what to do...

  8. can't decide whether to give props for having the imagination to put an egg, caviar and gouda on a pulled pork sandwich, or contend that none of those belong anywhere near good barbeque, and that sandwich is the most bougie creation I've ever seen.

    perhaps this is symptomatic of going to too many of the "world's best restaurants"? what's next, shark fin foam on a peanut butter & jelly?

    maybe I'm just jealous that I've never been to elBulli.
