Of course, that infamous "Now it's dark... Lets's fuck! I'll fuck anything that moves!! Hahahaha!" bit at the end is the antithesis of funny. It's chilling to the bone. By this point we've heard "fuck" about a thousand times in ten minutes, and its often seemed absurdly funny, but this shift in tone, characteristic of Lynch, is truly unnerving. And then Frank disappears like a phantom (why? Doesn't matter) leaving the viewer with this sense of otherworldly dread, as though there's a chance they're watching not a sadistic gangster, but Satan himself. *shiver*

Wow. So glad I wrote like a thousand words on this topic so you could say this to me and make it all worth it. The fuck man? You gotta give me more than that! Glad you agree though. |
sorry. long day at work/fishing. along with some light substances.

Nice sample too. Reminds me of "Juicy." Only unlike that song's which is awesome kind of by accident, and despite apparent attempts by Puffy to make it suck. |
Wow... not much happening so far is there?
Or is everyone just stuck watching the news with their jaws hanging open in shock? |
New Migos is such an exhausting listen. "T Shirt", "Call Casting" and "Bad and Boujee" are all incredible singles but the album starts with them and gets boring right immediately after.

This kid is a fucking idiot. I almost believed he has changed his life for the better and become a better person. There's a whole wave of popular rappers who idolized him through high school (Lil Uzi Vert being the boldest example), but now he ought to watch them from the sidelines as he's completely irrelevant beyond the occasional, borderline ironic praise from Pitchfork reviewers. I see this violent outburst as an act act of desperation. In my opinion, his fall off was quick. "Finally Rich" and" Almighty So" were fire and even influential, but after that he just lost his hunger and turned into no more than a Gucci Mane carbon copy. "Back from the Dead 2" is worth a mention because admittedly it did have some interesting moments ("Faneto", "Dear", "Where's Waldo" all go hard), albeit way too long to get through in one sitting. But on all of his post-Almighty So tapes and albums, he always sounded tired and bored as hell while rapping. So, years of laziness and handling his career like an idiot are finally taking a toll on him. Oh well. |
Gabriel Garzón-Montano - Jardín

Oh well, there's always the Cruel Summer version of "Don't Like" (I've come to kind of hate the Finally Rich version.. snoozefest), and his iconic vocals on Yeezus. Frankly I think it's a little silly to say that laziness and mis-management of his career are to blame for him being arrested for fucking home invasion. Home invasion, man. That's a big one. That's worse than breaking and entering or plain old robbery.. that's some FUCKED UP shit that only a FUCKED UP mind could lend itself to. That's walking into someone else's house and turning them into fucking prisoners, however temporarily, in the ONE place where they're supposed to be safe. Like I said, FUCKED. UP. If you want to fight someone, challenge them to a fight. If you want to rob someone, try your luck on the street with witnesses and cops and all that shit. Whatever. But if you want to severely fuck with someone psychologically, and instill in them a sense of absolute powerlessness and make them fearful everywhere for everyone, you'll break into their fucking house when they're there, just to show them that you can. And you'll fling your gun around just to show them you COULD kill them if you really WANTED to. It's like rape. It's absolutely goddamn disgusting. |
Yeah you're right, I didn't really look into it. It's actually worse than a bummy ratchet dude doing ratchet things. WAY worse.

Quote:
Yeah I don't know the details either, didn't read closely. But there's a big difference between regular robbery and home invasion. It's a sick thing to do, really. I hope it's not as bad as it sounds. |
Chief Keef sure is ugly. all bloated and shit.
|
Quote:
|
uh, ok. well, guess that solves it. ladies love Keef.
the fact of the matter is he's a cocaine head. three years ago, he was skinny and wearing rock star sun glasses. slim and urban. doing a incredible Yeezus guessed. now he's robbing producers during desperate home invasions, and looking like he eats ricotta cheese every night = heavy powder use. crack/molly/cocaine/hydros is what most 2017 hip hop stars are on. and so on. |
I think that doing some jail time could be the best thing that ever happened to him. Just look what it did to Gucci. He came back as Super Gucci; healthy, focused and positive.
|
The fact most popular rappers today are drug addicts is really sad. I watched an interview with Kodak Black from a couple weeks ago, he showed up with a ski mask on and barely even talked. One would think he's autistic or suffering from some sort of brain damage. Then I watched an older interview, from just a year ago, and he was pretty well spoken and likeable. Seemed like a completely different dude.
|
it's that powder and molly dude. hydro pain pills exert the influence too. all that is a big seller. I know because I hang wit those guys/or guys like those. or did. those dudes will do anything no matter what. the whole GA AtL scene is filled with druggies. selling/doing it's no difference.
even the young kids in the rural part of the state will rob/execute and rape anything that can support their gang. I live next door to some folks like that. |
you have to understand too, that some of these rappers are ignorant as hell. they from the hood and most of the hood is ignorant as hell. drug dealers, pimps, lean, and dumbass tricks that want yr money.
there's no better way but to just ignore these dumbasses. |
Lil Wayne didn't help matters by using his time at the top to constantly remind everyone that he was blasted on Rx codeine-filled cough syrup all day every day. All the rappers we see now grew up in the era of Wayne. He was probably the first big rap "star" most of them knew about. I know this goes against my common assertion that Kanye is the most influential dude in the scene — but Kanye's appeal was always more universal, not at all confined to or even affiliated with "hood" scenes, while Wayne had ab entirely different vibe.
Anyway. Yeah, I imagine most of these folks are not anything approaching clean. Even the most sober-minded references xannies and shit. Then there's Future, basically marketing mass indescriminate consumption of everything, all the time, everywhere. Personally I think opiates and benzodiazepines are more prevalent in thais culture than cocaine at the moment. Which scares me, because it's starting to spread and affect legislation for millions of people who take these mediations legally and responsibly (yah yah, I know ... hah hah, but they're out there.) |
Most interviews with rappers nowadays tend to be snoozefests. I appreciate it when a rapper is coherent and capable of expressing his/her thoughts in an articulate manner. Travis, Keef, Thugger and Kodak are a bunch of mumblers.
This little interview with Gucci was FANTASTIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gmN0GuTZS8 What a guy. :) |
Future definitely exaggerates in his lyrics. If he really took all those stuff he claims to be taking he would've overdosed already.

see, Gucci Mane is articulate and lucid and somewhat smart, modest. ha! he's all southern as hell. like he's about to bust into an Otis Redding tune. I like. good stuff. |
Quote:
Eh. It's totally possible to take massive quantities of various substances without overdosing. And "overdose" is a bit subjective. Most hospitals would admit someone who doubled their dose of OxyContin, at least for observation (and because $$$). You don't have to flatline or whatever to overdose. And if you creep up on these things, building on your intake slowly, or just taking enough to buzz yourself every day, tolerances can get Fucking ridiculous really fast. I'm sure he exaggerates though. |

Well that's really the problem, though innit? That fans want to hear that shit? That people are attracted to that kind of over self-destruction? Anyway, even when the guy's on tour, he's only working four hours a day... max. |
the kids wanna hear about partying, drugs, geting laid, etc. SAME SHIT AS ALWAYS!

Hey guys, I know this isn't strictly hip-hop, but the new Botany album has some insanely good beats on it. It's instrumental, but I think some of you guys would dig this.
Like this track for instance: Botany - Janis Joplin (YouTube) I think this qualifies as good hip-hop music, even if it's rapless. Also, it's probably the strongest hip-hop adjacent release of 2017 so far, so... yah. Listen! |
New Vince Staples album/single/whatever (still a mystery) this Friday!
![]() |
I think this is going to be a non hip-hop year, to be completely honest.
That Vince thing (which might actually just be a single?), another Danny Brown collabo with Paul White, and whatever the fucking fuck "More Life" is going to be, plus Yeezy Season 5 coming with no new music announcements, all point to this being an off-year for actual albums. So far we have Run the Jewels and Migos. yaaaaaaaaay. I think this is going to be an indie-rock bounceback year with lots of good electronic and experimental music to dig through. So maybe we should talk about "old" hip-hip, just so this thread doesn't suffer. To this end, I've decided to read the 33⅓ entry on MBDTF — which should be here any day — for inspiration. |
Hey louder, I was just looking back at old café threads, and I can't believe how much shit you took from assholes when you started this. I did not remember just how nasty people were to you just because of ... what, exactly? The misconception that you believed yourself to me a higher authority on the genre than others? Your specific taste? I don't really know what the issue was, but that was pretty fucked up.
Also, it's funny that your first post in any of these threads was simply: "..." Haha. |
ILOVEMAKONEN came out of the closet and no one gave a damn. progress!

Quote:
Let us know how it is! I'd be tempted to read it, however, heard mostly negative stuff about those books. |
Quote:
The people who read the books are, like, really into them. Like it's an actual series or something. Doing the math, you've gotta figure most folks who read every 33⅓ entry probably haven't heard at least ⅓ of the albums they're reading about, but there's anreally loyal fan base. Or, maybe "readership" is the better word, since most of what people seem to want to do is bitch. Anyway, I'm kind of a music book addict, and there's not much available on Kanye, apart from bullshit like his mom's book, or his "children's book" (with sizzurp) based on "Through the Wire." I'm sure there will be no shortage of material as his career winds down, but for now it seems as though this is the best we're going to get as far as serious critical writing goes. I've never read a 33⅓ book before, which is crazy considering how many of my favorite artists have been included (Beatles, Lips, Joy Division, Beefheart, Aphex Twin), so it'll be an interesting experience. |
