Pierre is so good. Him and Carti are a loving force. Just infecting my brain, I’m not strong enough to resist.

good poo poo.



extremely good poo poo. i listened to brainiac on youtube the other day and all the songs on exquire's own channel have about 5k plays. that is genuinely depressing in contrast to his talent. dude is the anti-mainstream.

From Nicki Minaj twitter stan to releasing a competing album. Honestly more excited to hear what he sounds like outside Old Town Road.

i hope it's a great album. at least the production will be great as the hype around this kid has been so huge everyone will want to hop on it

Has he released any other singles from it? Seems to just be riding the wave tbh.

not that i've heard, which isn't generally a really good sign, but i'm convinced it can't be absolute dog poo poo because there will be an awful lot of push behind the kid and he's got to be hungry to put in work. cautiously optimistic.

this short EP poo poo has got to go.

I absolutely cannot disagree strongly enough. Even extremely talented people struggle to put together an hour of music that isn't 25% filler. Nothing wrong with leaving people wanting more. Everything wrong with a 90 minute monstrosity. When Dayton a came out I said something along the lines of 'I hope this becomes a trend' and haven't regretted that opinion for a second.

Speaking of Dayton, listened to it again yesterday and it is outstanding.

Old school rappers were capable of making 40+ min of music without a string of poo poo filler songs so I don't see why it's impossible now.

No, they couldn't. By and large. Some could, about the same ratio as today I'd wager.

Disappointed there's no shitsville or thuggin but it's a better album than pinata all told.

Angryhead posted:

Not a fan of the room-y/echo-y mixing but besides that Bandana is pure dope.

also i'd like to add that it's an aesthetic choice that i happen to really like here. to me, the aesthetic of bandana sounds like an album that would be playing out of a tinny mono radio on a stinking hot day on the porch of a shack in the arizona desert. the mixing absolutely compliments this vibe.

another album where this was used to great effect (that people here also disliked) was on kids see ghosts. that entire album sounds like it should be coming out of a spooky victorian era gramophone - and it's mixed that way.

it's completely valid to claim that mixing it to sound poo poo is a bad aesthetic choice, but to my ears it's a good choice.

All streaming sucks, some just suck more than others. I can't stress enough that if you want to support artists, buy the album even if it's just digital. That is worth 100 times more to an artist than thousands of streams. Especially for newer artists or less mainstream artists, you can usually "pay what you want" for digital versions of their songs on Bandcamp. Even if you paid 1 cent a song it would still be better than streaming.

I'm not an unbelievably huge fan, but when I saw exquires album from a few years ago had ~5k views on his official YouTube channel I went straight to get some cash to the dude directly. Didn't he release an album this year? I remember a single at least that was good. Anyway, yeah, give what you can to artists you enjoy.

i literally cannot stop listening to sada baby. i really liked bandana but i listened to it once and then threw bartier bounty back on. it's 20 tracks of hype beats, impeccable and varied flow, and fun as gently caress word play that is often downright hilarious. it didnt' hit me right away but some guy i'd never heard of from detroit dropped a 20 track tape with minimal features and he carries it the entire way. crazy. i cannot recommend it highly enough.

I was hoping for some insight into why the beats are good or impressive particularly on Palmolive. I admit the tone was wrong and came off argumentative.

And yes Reddit is pretty toxic and I guess I'm bringing that energy here, my bad.

art is entirely subjective man so no one can say anything more substantial than 'sounds good to me' without disappearing entirely up their own rear end on a mission to be as wrong as he thinks the person he's arguing with his being.

madlib's collab with mf doom is considered a genuine classic and if you check his last collab with gibbs and don't like shitsville or thuggin we can never be friends. he's got chops and respect from all over the music world as a producer and people tend to like his style. it's not really any more complex than that.

huh. well, you can do that if you want. personally, i just post whatever i think about music good or bad and read whatever people think about the same music good or bad and just don't try and tell them that their opinion is wrong or demand someone attempt to change my mind.

i did laugh that your post before this one asked people to provide insight into why the beat might be considered good and apologised for negative energy yet you immediately cut off the part of my post, that you quoted, providing the requested insight and replied in a tone that sounds as close to sulking as words on a screen can get. just something you might want to mull over. hope you stick around though. more hot takes the better.

cool man.

anyway, do you know what music i loving hate? as in loathe? there's only one album that ticks that box for me, and that was the kanye / nas collab last (?) year. i hate that piece of poo poo so loving much and it's not just because nas is technically very bad on it, because he is, but because i've got that thing where i can't stand second hand embarrassment. that album was loving embarrassing. cops shot the kid was the only fleck of gold in the pile of poo poo, but nas ruined it so completely by being on it that anyone else jumping on it would just force me to relive these feelings i'm describing now - regardless of how much justice they do it. that the same man made illmatic absolutely baffles me. it's like when you learn about the probability of you existing for the first time and that nothing you do matters and you're able to fully comprehend what that means, or when bart simpson considered a tree falling in the woods while putting. nasir is the worst album ever made, and i loving hate it.

It was really bad. That whole one album a week thing gave us three absolute turds and then lightning in a bottle with Kids See Ghosts.

kids see ghosts was eclipsed only by daytona that year in my estimation.

nasir though. holy poo poo. i say it's the worst album ever made because a group of really, really serious and talented people genuinely thought it was good. if somebody released an entire album of different making GBS threads sounds, i still wouldn't rate it as low as nasir because you couldn't convince me that anyone thought it was actually good and expected it to be taken seriously. this is like if scorcese and dicaprio teamed up and made the movie equivalent of the making GBS threads album and gave it a wide release. gently caress that album, and gently caress nas. i just realised i haven't listened to illmatic since nasir came out and thinking about it now i genuinely don't want to. gently caress nas.
