at some point in my thirties i imagine I will be on public transport and some algorithmically determined internet 'radio' will serve me with a track from 'fantastic damage' and my heart will shrivel and stop and I will literally actually die of shame

srsly everyone who reacted to this straight fire beautiful vulnerable post with "lol get help" wow u r dumb and prob not very cool to be around

Yeah f those people

I like the post before that one better tbf

yeah I was feeling that one myself actually

idk maybe i'm just kind of bored by undie-bashing. That whole scene mostly petered out more than a decade ago, and it's not like most of these dudes are living high on the hog.

feel the same way about post-rock bashing, to use an analogous genre

when you gaze into the backpack, the backpack gazes back

point is, fans of music that slavishly flatters yr intelligence, that post was self deprecatingly saying "lol look how hung up i am on this trivial thing", and then you all were all "lol cant u see how hung up u are on this trivial thing boom roasted hi5*

it was more an ott response to seeing the "when i was a fool i loved def jux but now i'm a grownup who listens to dipset" story still having legs twelve years later

ha ha def jux forever get therapy

hmmm

lots of bold stands here against unpopular independent label rap music from 12 years ago.

xpost yeah?

otm

otm theres no way these guys didnt get a joke^^

yeah, or it was kind of a lame joke one or the other

probably it

sorry i didn't think it was fire like you did

prob to busy carrying a torch for defunct rap blog beef

still not really seeing why you think "lol Def Jux forever get therapy" is anything but me being ridiculous in response to someone else's ridiculousness. talk about a faulty joke detector...

talk about a faulty joke detector haha right fellas

i actually kinda like run the jewels

i dont really industrial music but killer mike is cool

If you like the artsier end of backpacker rap, with spoken word stuff and off-kilter samples and all, you might enjoy The Infesticons:

A few years later the same folks released another album as The Majesticons, this time the idea was to parody rap trends of the era. The parody might be a bit dated 10 years later, but the album still sounds remarkably good. Doing populist rap in the name of satire actually meant there are some really fun and catchy tunes on the album, much moreso than on the decidedly backpacker Infesticons record:

Sorry, the last Youtube was supposed to be this:

LL, did you check out the clipping record?

i still need to know if imago is an aesop rock fan
this is important to me

recommended: RATKING

His beats are sort of impressive in a kind of bludgeoning funkless way but, speaking as someone with a lot of love for bad rapping, El-P is one of the worst MCs I've ever heard.

i don't like any of this wordy undie shit
not that anyone asked me but

LL, did you check out the clipping record?

is this "clppng"?

I have Labor Days on my computer but I don't know how much I like it coz I basically only listen to my music on shuffle mode without knowing what half of it is. There's a lot of good rap - sometimes I track it down, usually turns out to be Def Jux or Five Deez or something

(where is your and what now, ILX, lol)

apparently Aesop Rock has a massive vocabulary, which is cool I guess

CLIPPING is one of the best things in music right now, obv

xp - got it -- i'll check it out as soon as i am not in an office

In the interests of sending this thread somewhere more positive I would point Imago in the direction of the most recent Shabazz Palaces album.

i'd like to point imago out of this thread so we can go back to talking about killer mike

:( i've not even rly been driving this welter of reccies, ppl are projecting their altrap peccadiloes onto me (not unwelcomely). basically the next RTJ needs to drop right now or this won't get resolved

cool, last one then: imago, try labor days a bit more as it actually reminds me of your posting style

like ace would totally rhyme "altrap peccadilloes on me" with "metal plated armadillos homie"

a recommendation that doubles as a zing! take 'em all i spose. also lol

no zing! i genuinely think you're kindred spirits!
