the album that was experimental and groundbreaking 10 years ago doesn't sound as crazy when i listen to it now...no s*** sherlock

niggas learn how to play a few chord progressions with borrowed chords and be throwing the word musician around

Climax of the song

one of the most intense moments on the album

me too :) i'm dreading the new silent hill remake. F***ed with alan wake 2 tho

Whenever Tyler goes viral for trying to preach some kind of wisdom it’s usually cringe but this is kinda true

Yeah to be clear I'm not saying the breakdown was his fault. looking back it was tragic + also a huge loss for music

but like objectively TLOP was not as refined as something like MBDTF and with things like post-release updates, it really feels like its success/near classic status became a justification for a lot of the bullshit that came afterwards

Look at vultures 2 lmao

Thanks for coming out yall.

I remember y’all started fake caring about substance when Utopia dropped and turned around and hyped s*** like Ganger

You listen to childish bambino ?

yeah the reception of mbdtf f***ed with him i think in general cause he got like 30 perfect scores (back when critics mattered) and then he realized there werent a lot of other places to go.

imo tlop is a classic but i know its polarizing for people

that + everything else lol

why do niggas get so hostile over the most frivolous s***?

lmaooooooooo

The direct progression from a maximalist album like MBDTF was to go minimal like Yeezus tbh

I think that was part of the inspo for yeezus. like blowing up that image/expectation of perfect music

I remember one of mike dean or noah hudson talking about how they intentionally avoided a lot of super melodic and maximal stuff because they wanted to "avoid the obvious"

Ehh some people are just more technically skilled than others in certain aspects. But as a whole their artistry lacks.

Not even just a rapper thing

jacob collier is more talented than most out, but his music isn't really good

Nvm it was hudmo

"Hudson Mohawke: There are a lot of amazing songs that were left off Yeezus-- stuff that you might consider to be more melodic or in-line with Kanye's previous material-- purely because they didn't necessarily fit this rough-edged, 90s-industrial-type vibe. A lot of the record is trying to avoid obviousness. Through the entire process of putting it together, there were tons of easy slam dunks, but rather than just going for the hits and having an album that nobody's going to give a f*** about in a month or two, he intentionally sidestepped the obvious route each time. I think that's what going to give it more longevity and put it in a category of records that you'll go back to in 10 years time."

I got silent hill 2 pre ordered i don’t even care if it’s trash the og is probably the best story in a survival horror ever. Alan wake 2 was beautiful

yeah fasho, i just mean like. the step after that step

yeah I get it you cant keep trying to make MBDTF type pitchfork 10/10 music

I still really appreciate tlop for what it is

ULB is one of my favorite songs ever written
