Random thought I had today and wanted to see what the people saying
For me it was probably when Ye was on his festival run in 2015 after Glastonbury as I had only got into him a year or so prior
When he had a rant over Lids workers. That’s when I knew he was toeing that fine line between crazy and genius, Kanye style.
When I realized the more time I spent with them the more I got out of it. It was different. There was a piece of me in their music. Not just more meaning inherent to the art, but how it can be a symbiotic relationship. Not even parasocial. Introspective. If not on a substance level then on the level of feeling alone.
Or it all just slaps and is undeniable like Three 6 Mafia
first time i heard foreign exchange
When my mom said when we get home she’s gonna whoop my ass n I started crying and Flashing Lights came on the radio
Tears coming down my eyes made all the streetlights and s*** all neon n vibrant felt like I was in a movie. Went home n got cooked but never forgot it s*** was like a lullaby otw to my impending doom
Also first time I heard Travis verse on Dont Play
Something about 2Pac just clicked with me. I never really cared about him or his music until 2018.
When I heard Maze play for the first time on the second album I knew that was it he was the goat.
