The oldest tape I found was from '85. I used to be a super ridiculous b-boy in high school. Terrible breakdancing, windbreaker suit, white gloves & everything. Like, I said, I'm old. Now back to reading the internet. (next episode is about people who say the N word but not in a rap song way!)

Pusha T is decent, doesn't skip bars so he's fine but there's something missing. Don't know if it's his type of fans or if he needs to do something to elevate his show beyond just decent.

I saw Clipse together a few years ago and the show was decent but they did like 40 minutes and then just dipped and everyone was disappointed.

Maybe I'm getting old (I'm getting old) but I really appreciate it when sets don't drag on. I saw Vince Staples last month and he did a tight maybe 40-45 minutes and then got the hell off stage, no encore. Dude appreciates my time and the fact that I gotta get up in the morning.

I don't see much live music at all. I've seen Bruce Springsteen probably 6 times and he puts on 3 1/2 hour shows.. which I know would be insane and boring for most rap artists to even do 2 hours but whenever I've seen a 40 minute set I feel somewhat empty and like it went by way too fast

Ghostface and Raekwon probably put on the best show I've seen in recent memory. Pretty sure they went for an entire hour, possibly a little longer and they didn't wait until like 1 AM to go on stage. Fans weren't super douchey either which I thought might be an issue (you know, "real hiphop" guy).

There are venues it takes that long to get to!

i live in nyc and like a lot of indie stuff which is a cheat code for live music buncha $12 shows that take ten minutes to walk to and you kinda want everything to last 40 minutes so you can get up and outta there. also we have enough good local bands that even rando venue-booked openers can be pretty good

so loving future posted:Hahaha this is the worst thing Why? He's legit made just about everything better(besides that one line in Famous, though it technically makes more sense now). Also Tidal users are a way smaller subset of people to have tested this out with than when he finally puts it on ITunes/Spotify/Google Music I'm 100% cool with it. It'd be cooler if on Tidal or somewhere you had access to listen to all the versions to see the iterative process.

Kanye is loving with his album cause there's no one around to say 'maybe just don't instead', not because he's making the final tweaks that take it from a great album to a classic or whatever.

Just because he's released a differently mastered and slightly changed version doesn't invalidate any enjoyment you received/receive from the "original". Like everyone's always talked about how dude's a perfectionist with his music, and how for a lot of his albums he's always tinkered with them and whatever. It's not like the first version was the mix he played at his fashion show so it's bad or anything. Honestly I think it's kinda cool how he's gone about this. It's one thing to hear about how someone is obsessive about their music and how much tinkering they do, it's another to actually get to watch it happen as it goes along. And besides, remasters and deluxe editions/versions with different tracks have been being released for forever anyways.

Edit: ^^^^ Also yeah it's pretty cool to see an artist go through the iterative process of changing an album and tinkering to get the sound they want. RBX posted:People stopped paying for albums 10 years ago second i'm not about to keep updated on my loving music like its a steam game. That's really stupid. Just because you like an artist doesn't mean you have to bend over and accept every dumb thing they do. Meh, This could have been loving Iggy Azalea and I wouldn't give a poo poo. You don't have to keep updated on it, If you are streaming it then great you automatically get the new version, if you downloaded it then you have the version you downloaded if you like it great, if you don't then you have the option to get the new version if you want to or you can just not like the song and not listen to it. If you torrented and downloaded it illegally I give even less fucks, boo hoo I have to spend time and effort(like 5 seconds) to update a song I am literally paying nothing for. And even then no one is forcing you to do so. Kanye has also done this poo poo before. I believe both Cruel Summer, and Yeezus have different version between the Album release and the Itunes release. If you don't like the music that's cool and great you are entitled to your opinion, I infact completely understand not liking the album, but If you didn't like it there really aren't any changes that are going to change what you think about the songs on it.

I'm talking about this as a whole not just for Kanye. But I could be overreacting but you never know, I just don't want it to be a trend. I don't use iTunes or any streaming stuff because I have data caps ( ) and I work about 60 hours a week. So it would be a pain in the rear end to keep up with.

Kanye probably over extended himself.

Yeah I don't get the complaints about this So he decided to polish up some work that he's really invested and proud about, good for him If I don't hear it right now I can still listen to the old version, otherwise I'll hear it eventually. I really like tlop so I'll check out the new version either way It's not like he's withholding anything, you can enjoy any version of it if you want, and there's no one making you check out the new one

I also do not think other rap artists have the kind of clout Kanye has. I doubt most labels would let their artists do this kind of thing, even after seeing how it worked out for Kanye, but Kanye is Kanye.

if the album had a physical release this would be bullshit because there would be people out there who blew $20 and got a "bad" version of the album. but kanye has clearly stated that tlop is a digital-only thing, so it's cool to push the boundaries of what artists can do in that circumstance

40 lbs to freedom posted:no it isnt this is stupid. this isnt "pushing boundaries" its capricious and weak and tiresome. Is this your first foray into Kanye West? His entire persona is capricious...... Are people really honestly surprised at what he's done with this album? This is the most Kanye kind of way to release an album I'm just shocked he didn't do it sooner. But like Dexo said before, why do people care so much? If you have the original version of the album (which you probably torrented anyway) then keep that version! The new version does a lot of interesting things, some good some bad and some very ugly but Kanye is at least very concerned about the work he puts out, which is more than I can say for most artists we have today.

The funny thing is Kanye with his loud mouth rear end isn't even really saying poo poo about it, this is just people noticing the differences as he finalizes the album for what will be probable widespread release.

Not gonna switch as I have too much of my library on Google, but it doesn't really suck. Just a late entry that probably isn't needed.
