crazy that they did 19,000 covers

the price options look to explain that; you could get an $800 design job for your album cover.

I've been on-and-off watching this Art of Organized Noize doc on Netflix over the past few days, it's allright - kinda sloppily made but everybody participates and some good anecdotes. Big Gipp is predictably entertaining.

Puffy's interview bits (idk why he's even in it tbh) are straight out of that Chappelle sketch about him. At one point an intern walks on camera and gives him a vial of some sort of clear liquid to drink and all I could think of was "the finest breastmilks"

Is this rap’s real golden age?
It’s long been the dominant style of American pop, but this year, the music’s sweep feels astonishing

Man, really sad about Combat Jack. I'd listened to him a little bit before, but really enjoyed his podcast about Chris Lighty this year and was starting to go back through his radio shows. Seemed like a really great dude.

the interviewer/narrator dude in Netflix's Hip Hop Evolution is a total clown but there's some good clips/bits from various folks in there. The south and Bay Area ones were v good. The more recent one about the "underground" was... odd. I really never thought Freestyle Fellowship was that big a deal?

flow innovatorskinda awkward to go straight from a Puff/Jiffy era hagiography to "ok now here's a whole episode about ppl who hated that shit" lol
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 27 September 2019 22:57 (four years ago) link
I like the series ok but it focuses almost exclusively on MCs & lyrics. Has he even mentioned the concept of sampling?? I can only remember producers showing up on screen to talk about MCs.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 27 September 2019 22:59 (four years ago) link
that hadn't occurred to me but that's an interesting point. You'd think that would have come up re: like, PE/Bomb Squad or Organized Noize (or even Puffy lol)
― Οὖτις, Friday, 27 September 2019 23:03 (four years ago) link
Yeah exactly. I think narrator dude said in initial episode he was a (failed) MC so I get that would be the lens he primarily views the genre thru but cmon now.
