my firm view that christianity is a poison is informed 100% by too much, not too little, exposure to it
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:25 (eight years ago) link
my firm view is that popular music as we know it literally does not exist without black church music
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 15:52 (eight years ago) link
i'm sure you can trace the history of music further back than that, not that it's a relevant point to make

lol i'm as atheist as could but getting down on this for the gospel speak is laughable imo

why is it laughable to have a negative reaction to overbearing christianity?
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link
I just don't see that it's overbearing. It's part of the esthetic sure.

Stare at the cue cards, take out the juke partsTake out the God references, just leave the cool parts

i can assure you my antipathy to christianity is not because it's "uncool"
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
but you understand that the role of christianity is very different on chicago's south side & in its music than it may be for yourself
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 13 May 2016 16:58 (eight years ago) link
i didn't frame my reaction as anything other than a personal response

i can understand being put off by the relentless positivity, though. brainwasher (who hasn't posted on here in some time ergo i will speak on his behalf lol) told me he's more into vince staples or it resonates more w/ him, and I can understand that pov even if i like chance more; its optimism can be blinding
ideologically im probably also more aligned w/ vince's worldview but musically i much prefer chance

omg that synth bass in the chorus of "Smoke Break."

chance isn't all relentless positivity though and i think that came through a lot on Acid Rap
― 龜, Friday, 13 May 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
This feels like the lightbeam gospel that TLOP hinted at but didn't really deliver. I love it.

This might be competing with Lemonade for album of the year.
― Frederik B, Friday, 13 May 2016 18:58 (eight years ago) link
this is way better lemonade is p bad

i do think he has sort of deemphasized his own rapping... this def shares a sort of structure or maybe ethos w/ the social experiment album where the guests are really foregrounded and he feels more like part of a tapestry than the center of attention. it's obv not as pronounced as surf but it feels more of a piece w/ that than acid rap. similarly there was a sociological perspective on acid rap that i found really illuminating & refreshing and that too has receded a bit prob because the circumstances of his own life have changed drastically.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
acid rap was p beats to rhymes trad this one is crazily songy p impressive im liking him more like that, didnt listen to surf
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link
yeah i mean this one is obv crazy accomplished on a music & songwriting level and by comparison acid rap feels stripped down. but there was like an overarching aesthetic vision to acid rap that still felt preternatural to me & something like "good ass outro" was just crazy good on a musical level. i do miss that beats to rhymes thing tho, i really was savoring the second "blessings"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 May 2016 19:05 (eight years ago) link
is it crazy to admit I like him less when he sings?

for me this in no way compares to Acid Rap, but that's ok, can't go home again, etc

Listening to Sunday Candy on repeat, sooooo good. I liked it before, but not like this.
The way his singing is the rhythm track in Blessings is so good.
― Frederik B, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
i will listen to surf i mean tbh i did at least .5 times already before
― lag∞n, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:27 (eight years ago) link
I love that 'Sunday Candy' is both a reference to the eucharist and oral sex.
― Frederik B, Friday, 13 May 2016 19:29 (eight years ago) link
I'm loving this so far. It's more immediate and song-oriented than Surf, but it takes the "party and everyone's invited" vibe that I loved about that project and combines it with the joyous and infectious personality of Acid Rap.

I'm also glad that Somewhere in Paradise didn't make the tape. It's pretty lightweight when compared to some of the tracks that did make the cut.
