cricketz is good, doesn't really surprise me that it did well on jukebox considering the scores that other jerk stuff has gotten
― jihad mane (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 6 April 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
it's cool that they were able to make 2 gimmick tracks -- the use of crickets as the hook of the hook is pretty dope, as is just going "yadada new boys/ yadada skinny jeans" -- they're like dj unk but better (and of course that's a compliment)

I need some bangers for my summer mix. Last year rap was sorely underrepresented. Any suggestions?

having read his piece and thought there were surprisingly few howlers in it, his twitter has made him annoying again

dude, it was basically a summary of mundanities for outsiders, don't expect the world to stop.

think rennavate could also rock Alley Boy & Young Dro "Tall" that track is biiiiiig

xxxp
ya he is but he's also otm when he says "that article just repackaged a lot of ideas that have been bouncing around the blog circle for the past year or so" and that the article doesnt really engage with that blog circle. breihan's article was good and i agree with most of what he says but it was pretty underwhelming in how little new thought/opinions/whatever it had
― killah priest, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:34 (fourteen years ago) link
well yes, but he's also writing for pitchforkmedia.com, not people who know who MAYNHOLUP is
― new goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:34 (fourteen years ago) link
meaning that what noz is saying is self-evident in the content of the article and the place where it was published
― new goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:36 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, you have to understand that the article isn't for us. It's for guys who wouldn't know this shit already, like a lot of P4k's crowd.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
― rennavate, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:36 (fourteen years ago) link
ya ya im just saying noz isnt totally offbase.. i think its less the pitchfork audience--like tom e writes interesting things about pop to an audience that is similarly put off it--than how limiting this obligatory 'state of hip hop' type piece is to content unless youre gonna go challopsing
― killah priest, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:41 (fourteen years ago) link

OTM. as someone who likes rap but listens to mostly indie/metal, i thought Tom's article was solid
― ksh, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:42 (fourteen years ago) link
It would be nice is P4k got deej or someone to keep a closer eye on hip-hop, or specific regional scenes, but what can you do.
I've been trying to get on with them for like two years now with no luck.
― rennavate, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I was pretty happy when I got to the bottom of that article but then I realized there were 2 more pages to go

Let's be honest: What's new?
― rennavate, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 04:59 (fourteen years ago) link
no, the article was solid, a good summary for those not following the convo, and i don't think a p4k writer needs ethically to be part of that convo in order to summarize it for his readers, but noz is justified in his crackaz is biters steez nonetheless, esp. if t.b. is fishing around for attention on the strength of it.
― zvookster, Wednesday, 7 April 2010 05:07 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, tom's original tweet was kind of desperate, but i know the feeling
― new goon (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 April 2010 05:08 (fourteen years ago) link
like, when i spent 4+ hours writing a blog post about drake that was informed by months of internal thought, i was kind of disappointed when it only got 6 comments
but then again i didn't end up posting on twitter fishing for comments

the whole "convo" that informed Tom's piece? apologies for being unclear--i wasn't referring to the convo following from his piece

good piece j.s. but I hadn't realized people actually considered drake to be a rapper until now

ksh: like i could specifically point even just to noz reviews, posts & comment sections on g-side, young l, & the labyrinth/maze series, from whence u could trace significant parts of the p4k bit; even noz didn't do this in this brief spat kicked off by t.b.'s whorish dissing.
