Being a (bad) dj myself, dj drops are what I live for. Ive even paid people to make terrible ones for me to spam. I hope one day I get to ruin your night, drop haters.

Sadistik came out with a free new EP last week. If you like that style of music, it's very good. Here's a track with Nacho Picasso and Mr MFN Exquire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gy43eFfQ6g

I was listening to this podcast that had this guy who directed a coupe of Future's music videos. He talks about why Karate Chop never had a released music video and how he's happy that Future is no longer with Ciara because he saw Ciara as pretty controlling of Future and of his image. Also DJ Esco has the BEST drops.

I've been spamming DJ Khaled's ANOTHER ONE at a couple of my gigs lately. It's a lot of fun.

That was a positive review? I thought that it was supposed to be some sort of ironic deconstruction of Donglover's script.

Why does Spotify never have tapes soon after they drop? I wanna listen to Purple Reign but I don't wanna go to HotNewMixtapes or whatever and deal with their lovely web app.

Because most rappers don't deal with Spotify independently from a label? Mixtapes are often hard to find on there in general

The mixtape version of Purple Reign is mastered really badly , the levels are all over the place. The first track after the intro sounds particularly awful.

I noticed that. Some of these songs sound really weird.

The last couple (Run Up, Perkys Calling, Purple Reign) are all good tho.

edit: actually Run Up is mixed really weird too, but it sounds like it could be dope if it was mixed a bit better.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
Some tags are great and some are a bit much after repeated listens.

Yea I'm just following him for the retweets and occasional good bits of trivia he drops.

Had no idea that the beginning of Victory was big getting puff back for talking all over his songs.

only reason i was looking for Purple Reign without tags was I thought it'd be better audio quality. It isn;t.

I went back to spotify and they never have any full mixtapes. Sometimes songs will show up on extremely random compilations ive never heard of with some really bad cover art months later. How does apple music keep getting them? I cant loving stand itunes

Why do you guys even use that stuff when it take 5 seconds to find,download, then copy to phone.

i switched over for ease of use because i'd started to use a bunch of different devices for listening between my phone, car, work, and home and keeping a huge collection of mp3s or whatever sync'd on 3-4 things is a huge pain in the rear end unless you run your own streaming server. but yeah i'm starting to regret letting my personal collection of digital music files fall by the wayside now. apple music seemed like a promising way to mix my personal collection with their streaming library at first but it turned out to be pretty lovely service and their apps are terrible. maybe some day they will have improved it to the point where it is worth using.

FWIW, here's how I listen to music that's not available on Spotify in Spotify:

- Put all my music in Dropbox. 100 gigs isn't that pricey and I don't have that many MP3s these days. Any kind of syncing service with a desktop client works fine though
- Add my Dropbox/Music folder to Spotify's "local files" configuration. Now all my files show in Spotify's desktop client and I can make playlists and poo poo there. I sync my Dropbox across three computers and they all can pull the music into Spotify just fine and share the same playlists.
- On the phone/tablet apps, go to one of the Spotify playlists I've made entirely of local files and check "make available offline." Now those playlists will be synced from the Spotify desktop client to your phone if you're on the same wifi.

The only part of this that's a bit of a pain in the rear end is making a separate playlist for each local album/mixtape you have, but if you only have a handful it's not so bad. Manually specifying which playlists to sync is also kind of a plus if your phone's like mine and doesn't actually have the space for an entire Dropbox music folder :v:

this serves me well for both my cool Young Thug mixtapes, my weird Japanese pop EPs, and my random albums that aren't available on Spotify (Blondie's Parallel Lines, what the gently caress?!?)

(of course now I live in fear some product manager at Spotify ruthlessly cuts the desktop->mobile syncing feature because "pfft look at these stats only like 0.5% of users even know it exists so who cares" but at that point I could probably get some app that just plays straight from Dropbox and I'll be okay)
