But I mean, at the same time, when ISN'T youth important to music, period?
what kind of question is this

let's talk about how good the jacka/laroo album is
― J0rdan S., Friday, 7 January 2011 21:46 (thirteen years ago) link
and this is rather like jerk was produced by one group of teens, crewing up like teens do, with whatever youthful virtues of energy & fun & etc. and with sophisticated raps & technical chops, which jerk was always (charmingly?) deficient in
i guess the biggest difference is class - not social class but, y'know, what ~type~ of kids the jerk kids were vs. the odd future kids - ie kids who love dancing, dressing up, chatting shit about sex and status, vs. kids who like being gross and watching jackass
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 7 January 2011 21:47 (thirteen years ago) link
jerk kids def seem more well-adjusted heheh

this is like some silly T/S teenage girls vs. teenage boys dichotomy

chatting shit about sex and status
tbh i'd much rather have talked about "gross" than "status" at any age in my life, sex always tho

lol @ jerk vs. odd future
jerk has cooties but odd future pull ponytails

so addicted to picking out the organ in this
jacka & laroo "about me"
― zvookster, Friday, 7 January 2011 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno, i was not well-adjusted at that age, to say the least. like... i would definitely been more likely to hang out with the of kids than the jerks.

i liked jacka/laroo a lot because i think there is a perfect balance there -- be it laroo or andre nickatina, i think jacka's style works best when it's overtly contrasting someone more deep voiced/typical
― J0rdan S., Friday, 7 January 2011 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
we were specifically discussing why it was important that they were young, don't be a dick
― zvookster, Friday, 7 January 2011 21:52 (thirteen years ago) link
would have derided the jerks as the fucking popular kids.

sounds like an odd future lyric
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 7 January 2011 21:52 (thirteen years ago) link
the jacka & laroo was one of those records where the first track started and i just thought, oh i am gonna love this
― zvookster, Friday, 7 January 2011 21:53 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^lol perhaps the ILX Heathers thread is relevant here
― assorted curses (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 7 January 2011 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i would def have identified more w/ odd future socially but jerk wd be my aesthetic guilty pleasure

i love all the light, airy synths on the jacka & laroo album that make it feel like you're cruising around on a cloud or something - it feels really opulent, but super-casual too. one of those albums i had to rebuy just for the higher quality.
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 7 January 2011 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link

lol about what rappers you would have hung out in high school. they would have probably thought you were all fucking dorks
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 7 January 2011 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
yay, another one of my picks. glad that did well.

okay I don't know why I dismissed Odd Future based on the way you guys talked about them before, but based on you all essentially being like "they're like a young black better version of ICP" here I looked up "Orange Juice" and holy shit I should have been up on this earlier
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Friday, 7 January 2011 22:01 (thirteen years ago) link
also the energy on SO FUCK AROUND AND POP OFF FOR YOUR WHOLE TOWN~~
there's a thread on ILX right now about the movie Heathers (the central plot of which involves gruesomely murders of the popular kids)

my fav roach gigz off that tape is 'gold' -- so i love the amelodic spindly beats too but it makes 'gold' seem that much better when it comes in
