But... do you think we got these albums ourselves??? Never paid a dime on any digital besides Chinese Algebra which was $7 when it first dropped. I’m not overdrafting myself for music like that lol. If anything the limited access to the music made this community more close knitted and lately it seems as though Mach is ready to let his discog open up

why not just chop it up with some concepts or artists instead of being the thing you are so boldly against, an elitist.

i should just tell you to do your googles but f*** it:

crimeapple : youtube.com/watch?v=hoZa3-4ROqQ
mavi : youtube.com/watch?v=ALyQs922EaQ
ankhlejohn : youtube.com/watch?v=i1UaSXS2hLY

all those guys are on streaming. they charge pretty standard prices for digital bandcamp releases ($10-$20) and less than ka for vinyl. they've toured, even outside the country. ill let the performances speak for themselves. you're really not wrong that there is some limited, lazy music being made by people riding this wave, but you haven't named one yet. you've named people who will definitely be remembered in 10 years, because of the depth and creativity and thoroughness of what they do.

Aye but MIKE shines the brightest out of the entire sLUms collective

Don't think Mavi is a good example as he has only one project

hermes picked him, not me. and am i wrong?

No you're not wrong at all

also weird, he definitely had at least 1 older project on bandcamp that he must have taken down.

Thanks for posting. I guess I can cut them a little slack because I don't know how long they been putting it down on stage but I sure hope they put some effort into improving. The Mavi one was the best by far, crime and Anklejohn looked pretty lame and disengaged for large parts but anyway I won't knock them, a live show is a hard craft to master.

Tell me some of the people who you think are riding the wave but are straight garbage? Doubt I heard of them but just curious.

Im not tryna hate on your work I really dont care. Just dont be giving investment advice dawg its so corny like wtf is that. Youre mad about Mach's gimmick again which makes him all the money from the supposed "rich white kids" that listen to him. Thats a win on all fronts stop criticizing it just let him have his base then. Do you feel good convincing someone not to support mach? Like really does that get you off to know that youre hurting Mach? You come off as such a troll and hater to everyone here you have no point except "MY MUSIC TASTE IS BETTER, ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO MACH HAS BAD TASTE I AM HIP HOP". I didnt ask you about your life story either man I dont care this is a music thread but aight lets go off that. You got a family and you're here hating on people who enjoy music in your free time Smh. Man grow up how long does that take you? I don't believe anything you say by the way you act, you just want the smoke its sad

Genuinely curious on your opinion of these, @Bleezie

Big fan of Ka. I remember as a shorty my older brother would play me the NE freestyles he taped off the radio and I seen them at fat beats but this was when Ka wasn't with them like that anymore. Him and roc are both dope as hell. Mach's music feels like a bootleg version of this s*** tbh, maybe that's why I just can't get with it. If I want some mythical coded vibes I'll play Ka.

Bruh I thought we were over this debate team s***

No problem. yea Mavi is worth checking out seriously, i think he has a really mature perspective for such a young guy. definitely prefer him to the other two. as far as people that are trash, chris crack definitely up there. sLUMs has a birthed a lot of knock offs doing a lazier version of the same thing, but nobody im familiar enough with to link. some of the formulaic coke rap guys like pounds give me ear fatigue.

barber shops closed dudes over 35 need an outlet

I'm dying

Droog spazzed

“We the worst train”

rare progressive Mach line:
"my temperament is indiscriminate,
I hit a chick too"

That said this Hommy Edition revisit was hitting samples are crazy, classic rap
