what's wrong with la?

"Miracle"/""wherever" is an album highlight IMO
I don't think blase feels tacked on its just kinda there

i like that sevyn part especially 'you want a cookie but that's how it should be'

Miracle/Wherever is too long but it features some of Ty's best singing.
The arrangements throughout are gorgeous, but my favorite moment is Credit's piano/sax coda

here's where i admit rtc was right & i think this album is kind of disappointing on the whole
individual moments shine for me (esp "solid") but i think its mainly that the erm sexiness of beach house—the louche lothario has been replaced not so much by a scumbag but by someone going thru the motions in a way that gets no enjoyment from it
idk. im optimistic about beach house 3
i also think his EP with Wiz Khalifa this year was #actually pretty tight, even if it makes you feel like you're taking wiz khalifa's side in some domestic drama

wrong this album is a classic

i don't really want him to be sexy. his misogyny sorta has that z-ro style 'ho just leave me alone playing xbox by my lonesome' almost cozy vibe. also the album has, like, musical humor that complements lyrical humour in a great way; the background vocs on "Know Ya" (strookiiin')
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link
i thought what jordan wrote about credit applies to most of the album actually, the songwriting stands alone. like "Straight up" is a how had no one phrased that verse melody before
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
an album doesnt really need every style and every guest kinda a weird approach some imo, def jams on there tho, at least one major turd too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2015 20:44 (eight years ago) link
the Kanye moment is a turd but such a quality lol that i listen to it every time
this album is almost entirely stylistically coherent, like remove track 2 and then everything up to blasé has ml the same vibe, at which pt it's refreshing to switch gears
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:10 (eight years ago) link
literally an insane statement
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:15 (eight years ago) link
i really don't think of this as an album that jumps around a lot stylistically, the classic soul samples tie it all together. even the metro boomin production sounds like temptations
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link
you think LA , straight up, horses, know ya, credit, miracle/whenever, sittin pretty have v different styles?
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:24 (eight years ago) link
need to go back to beach house but i do feel i have overplayed his joyless ogling somewhat, still not real sexi but occasionally capable of a kind of ironized pat-on-the-ass affectionate warmth
also lol i love 'saved', wild out to that shit every time
think d-40 has a deeper investment and sees an extra upper echelon to him than others perhaps, not criticising cos in some ways understandable but mainly cos of that i was more about addressing the expectation/disappointment matrix for an album that otherwise is p above average okay imo
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:26 (eight years ago) link
never a classic though, flops be trippin
lol @ pay on the ass warmth
i don't remember beach house very vividly, should revis
― flopson, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:27 (eight years ago) link
revis the bea hou and reconsid your opin

ive prob over listened to this tbh, like when u can sing along to most of 'bring it out of me' :-/

lolll yeah that is doing way too much
still jel of that interaction compared with armchair pontificating tho tbf
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:45 (eight years ago) link
i loved "saved" so much
still haven't really spent time with this record, looking at the tracklisting exhausts me
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:47 (eight years ago) link
lost my headphones so ive been listened to music on my shitty laptop speakers for months. BUT the other day i put together my old hifi and first thing i played on it was 'horses in the stable'. shit sounded so good it was a quasi-religious experience. ty$ has a great attention to detail when it comes to sound design.
― tpp, Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:50 (eight years ago) link
yeah his nerd side really comes out on this record, it's biggest strength imo
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 December 2015 21:51 (eight years ago) link
to be clear yeah i don't think this is a bad album by any stretch, just disappointing w/r/t what i hoped for
individual moments shine when taken out of context but it bugs me that when 'blase' comes on that i kind of check in, because i never even liked that song much in the first place
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 10 December 2015 22:00 (eight years ago) link

by skits you mean the clips of him talking to his brother in prison?
― flopson, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 16:01 (eight years ago) link
I guess most of them are him talking to TC now that I'm listening closer. The TV announcer one is kinda annoying. I've listened to that transition between "Straight Up" and "Solid" enough times that I have it basically memorized.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 16:10 (eight years ago) link
"Straight Up" should be a hit IMO.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 16:11 (eight years ago) link

You’re on “Work From Home,” a huge song. In your mind, do you compartmentalize the crossover pop stuff you do — like “Drop That Kitty” with Charli XCX — and consider it a different part of your career than your solo stuff?
It’s just all dope music for me. With the Charli record, the producers played it for me, and I loved it, and I got Tinashe on it. My daughter loves Tinashe, so that was for her, right? The Fifth Harmony record, my daughter loves Fifth Harmony. I wouldn't have known about 'em, if it weren't for her. When she get's in the car, I'm like, "Play whatever you want to play." But this guy Chris Anokute, he was around Def Jam when I did “Toot It and Boot It” with YG, now he’s on Sony with L.A. Reid and them. Chris was like, “Yo, I want you to hop on this Fifth Harmony record. This is the next biggest sh-t out.” And I was like, “You don’t even gotta sell me the dream. This is my daughter’s favorite group, I’m down.” I did it so I could have something on her playlist, like, “It’s dad.” So I could be cool in her eyes and shit. I played her the clean version of the Campaign songs. This one song, called “3 Wayz” with me and Travis Scott, she said, “This is it!” I’m going with what she says. She gets it.

So this album is way overlooked right? I meant to check it out but the buzz died down so fast I kinda forgot about it. Heard it for the first time last week and I was really surprised it didn't get more love
