Jul 23, 2021if there was like a binary on the cerebral experience of picking up on hundreds of nuanced micro decisions vs just simply vibing . . . where do U fall?
do u think about the references, literary devices, mixing techniques as conscious decisions to chew on mentally
or u just levitating in the sonic bed of swelling 808s & shimmering synthesiser sounds lighting up ur lizard ass synapses like a Christmas tree

Stuff like taking influences & subverting them in certain ways to convey whatever personal or political statements etc etc

Exactly that’s what people did to Keef and Thug and do to people like Carti. Altho the Keef s*** was more weird because it felt like they were purposely being ironic in a lowkey convolutedly racist way
I wish I had examples to point to but there’s this tendency on the Internet to over-intellectualize “street” artists in a like weird attempt to “save” them from from the typical rockist tropes of it just being “ignorant” music which takes things too far in the opposite direction to the point where it feels disingenuous and an attempt to project ones own values onto art that the artist never thought about
Like I think there’s a lot to be said about how someone like Keef early music is way more conscious than it actually comes off to your average mainstream listener, but internet nerds take it to this level where it just seems like they’re being tongue and cheek and weird
I realize by writing this I’m participating somewhat in the same phenomenon but hopefully you get what I’m getting at here

They doing this with rx nephew and that american terrorist song now
Personally I haven’t seen much of that yet in regards to Rx. I think most of their fans (including myself) just take it for what it is: highly clever yet highly funny music that’s also very self aware. I think most of the people who I would blame for what I described above generally just completely dismiss Pap and Nephew because it’s not really cool to like them yet outside of certain circles
The problem comes in when people assume that artists like Pap and Neph aren’t self aware, and need some completely unasked for grand intervention by a white reviewer that goes on a missionary trip to make their art “respectable” and tell everyone why it’s actually good, when it’s actually been good the whole time
Now when p4k and them start reviewing Crack Therapy tapes and s*** yeah it’s a wrap
Jul 24, 2021About 2 years into music production and I was a goner.
I notice everything but I don’t consider myself the “music decipherer” or whatever……
At the end of the day I usually just like something cuz it just clicks with me. Feel like most of the time what I do and don’t like don’t even make sense sometimes lol
