The duo's single "Black Beatles" becomes the highest-charting Hot 100 title to name-check The Beatles, by an act other than the Fab Four themselves, as it rises 41-38,

You will know "Black Beatles" has peaked when you start seeing outraged FB posts from Baby Boomers.

it hit the top 40 like two weeks after they released the video

the song came out in the summer & now its november, feels like a while to me
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Monday, 7 November 2016 18:40 (seven years ago) link
it has steadily risen up the charts over the period of a couple months like pretty much any hit but you should ask mike will why he didn't release it as a single until late september
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 November 2016 18:42 (seven years ago) link
amazed but so thrilled it's doing so well
would love for it to make the full pop crossover but not holding my breath
― dyl, Monday, 7 November 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link
It sold almost twice as much digitally as any other song did today so I'd say a top 10 placement is pretty much inevitable at this point. http://www.digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143441

wondering whether to see these guys when they come to play in Jan. Worried I might be the oldest person there by at least 20 years though... Does it matter?

I saw them last year and they were amazing. But yes you probably will be the oldest person there.

Gucci Mane is number one the week after Trump won the election. The universe is working hard to achieve the right balance at the moment.

so is "Swang" sampling something or just really reminiscent of a slow idm track?! it drives me nuts and I think it just sounds like something
― mh, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 02:07 (seven years ago) link
I'm almost certain "By Chance" samples "Gammi" by Disjecta for the beat.
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 02:28 (seven years ago) link
I am all for doing some research as a group, here. We can crack this producers into 90s idm sampling or jacking beats connection
― mh, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 02:39 (seven years ago) link
I also suspect part of Kendrick's "HUMBLE." beat is lifted from the end of Autechre's "Augmatic Disport". Which would please them massively since they are hip-hop to the core.
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 03:57 (seven years ago) link
'Swang' does sound a bit like Boards of Canada or Plaid or something. I wonder what that bubbly synth sounds like backwards?
