back then rap fans had a notable new album to discuss every 6 weeks or so, now there's a notable new mixtape every 6 hours.
i do not think that we agree on what notable means btw some dude

REALLY, "notable" is too far? i feel like that's a fine word to mean 'something that multiple people are listening to and interested in talking about,' it's not like i said "significant" or "important" or something.

i mean it's pretty much an indisputable fact that an hour of new music by a rapper that pretty much any hip-hop fan has at least heard of used to be a weekly or monthly occurrence and is now a daily if not hourly occurrence.

these rap chaps ought to exercise some bally self-control, is what our dear friend is flailing at

same as the noise scene. people make a tape a week. rap and noise. its easy to consume a lot of it though. even when its not memorable. its like weird candy you like. metal fans too. an infinite appetite. courting a porn-y audience isn't hard. just keep it coming.

it just struck me as strange usage tbh- imo if you think there is a notable album/mixtape coming out every 6 hours you need to raise yr ceiling of notability

this is v much an aside tho, it's not notable tbh

ha not at all, fwiw i recognise the ability to catalogue reams and reams of new content as a very ilm trait/talent. maybe ilf does similar but i couldn't really think of an equivalent off my head

hah it occurs to me that i have no idea what kind of music darragh likes
― mookieproof, Saturday, 9 February 2013 03:22 (eleven years ago) link
i guess 'notable' has an air of 'exceptional' to it but all i meant was, like, famous. someone pretty famous, like has has hit singles and been on TV and stuff, drops a new mixtape like at least 4 times every day. that wasn't true 10 years ago.

has has = has had
― dirty drone barack boy (some dude), Saturday, 9 February 2013 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
i could suggest raising yr bar for 'famous', but i mean i'm not out to stop anyone's fun or anything
― the right to beef at (darraghmac), Saturday, 9 February 2013 03:24 (eleven years ago) link
it's not like the rolling noise or anything else threads are predominantly about people who are 'famous' by any measure! i just mean, like, well known to fans of the genre!
― dirty drone barack boy (some dude), Saturday, 9 February 2013 03:27 (eleven years ago) link
please don't waste any effort trying to convince me, i dont even know what 'noise' is tbfh

Just curious--and this is coming from one of the all-time great thread assassins* Anyway, I'm sure I'm this for others, but does anyone else have particular posters that you reflexively recoil from? (NO NAMES PLEASE) like they drive you crazy? I think I'm projecting my own shit on them, but god, this person posts everywhere and makes me crawl up the wall....
*I would say people comment on maybe 1 in 20 of my posts, although sometimes a thread of mine will do sort of well.

there are definitely cliques on ilx, and certain users only read certain users
i'm sure i'm no different than the rest, and there are many posters i don't bother reading (recoil from/hate/drive me crazy are all too harsh and don't apply to me)

I figure I don't get read much.
Even when ILX isn't entertaining I still lurk, mostly due to not knowing where else to go on the internet. I don't use social media really.
