Random fashion thoughts

[Severisth]



My music-listening rotation has been really... weird lately:

Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Le Meilleur de Kassav'
Ali Farka Touré's Savane
D'angelo's Voodoo
Paul Simon's Graceland
Radio Dept.'s Lesser Matters

Thumbs up for Radio Dept, now I know what I'm listening to tomorrow. Rapper I keep going back to as of late is Joey Bada$$, some people hate him, but I think he's great

He's a prime example of the new form of regionless rap. Back in the day, every region (NY, the South, Texas, Bay Area, LA, NO, etc.) had their own unique sound since that's all that played in those areas. Now that everyone has access to all music no matter where it came from, it's blurring the regionalism in rap.

I get that, but it comes off more like he's lacking any true sense of identity and compensating by trying to cater to everyone.

Gucci Mane is criminally underrated because his delivery superficially appears listless.

Was doing a job thing at the corporate offices of a large clothing company today (not an impressive one, we're talking about the middle of North Carolina) and while waiting in the lobby area for my contact to show up, this random Asian dude was standing there waiting for his contact wearing Comme de Garcon Chucks and a knit blazer. I would love to know what he was doing there.

You should have at least bought Toasty a beer

asap rocky is the closest thing to 90s rap imo

I really like Rocky, LiveLoveA$AP is one of the best mixtapes I've heard in a fat minute, but I think Joey Bada$$ is the best 90's sound out right now. His mixtape 1999 is terrific. Some songs feel straight off of Illmatic to me. Big KRIT is doing some great things right now too.

 

[Severisth]

The Pro-Era mixtape is also really good, though 1999 is the clear winner

I dunno about you guys, but I'm still listening to a helluva lot of Kendrick

i don't know what mackelmore is, i'm not too good with pop culture i guess. i thought taylor swift was an actor lol

anyway i was checking out youtube and the front page had something about harlem shake i was thinking oh cool a throwback video lets check it out. to my horror it was some attempt at inducing seizures in viewers worldwide.

that was not the harlem shake, all these fake@$$ niqqas need to stop

this is the harlem shake



oh and on tupac but still got love for the b.i.g. too

everybody knows this...

the harlem shake videos are named after the song which is called the harlem shake...

I dunno about you guys, but I'm still listening to a helluva lot of Kendrick

i listened to kendrick every day all day for a straight month and i got tired of it and switched to schoolboy q and ab-soul for a bit. now i'm back to listening to kendrick all day everyday. lyrics are so good. i keep hearing new things in it.

love the concept of the album.

Get hyphy

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

but for real Andre Nickatina is still super real, more bay **** like too $hort, lyrics born, k.flay, mac dre etc hold true to their region

 

[cyc wid it]

Black Hippy movement overrated. Harlem can't even hang onto an old dance from the 90's - even that's getting gentrified into some spastic bullshit.

^ that's whats up, zillions of ppl convulsing

i've barely been listening to rap lately. just a lot of mgmt/neon indian/of montreal/beach house type ****.

Yeah I'm going through the same bounce back and forth between bumping non-stop K dot and getting tired of it as indesertum. I'm currently in a state of constant Pro-Era though with some Raider Klan for when I feel like getting ignorant and hype. Section.80 and GKMC are both stellar albums that are hard to be tired of for very long. I've been meaning to listen to give more of a listen to ScHoolboy Q's Habits & Contractions. But between Black Hippy, Pro-Era, A$AP, and Danny Brown I've been very well stocked.

 

[bosatlbwi]

yeah danny brown is great. xxx is a great album and terribly underrated.

 

[lesamourai]

my parents won't let me listen to rap, so i just have this
