ur right
Black portland somehow becoming the signature thug album is so weird

is that true in an other than chrisbro sense
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 October 2014 16:12 (nine years ago) link
yeah even when it was his most widely reviewed project at the time there was a whole tone of "we're talking about this because it's the first thing he dropped since Stoner/Danny Glover, it's not a major or representative release." i can't tell if Christgau never caught that vibe or is just rebelling against it.
― Raccoon Newsy Wewsies (some dude), Friday, 10 October 2014 16:19 (nine years ago) link
he's mentioned it several times all year, so for him it was likely "first release I loved is the first one I love"
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 10 October 2014 16:31 (nine years ago) link
album of the year, he said in an interview or someplace

people who continue to hold up "Picachu" as a key Young Thug song for years to come are gonna be like people who are way too into Lil Wayne's "I Feel Like Dying"
― Raccoon Newsy Wewsies (some dude), Friday, 10 October 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
that's a good comparison
it's an astounding song but he has a half dozen as good/better
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 October 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
yeah both great songs that are kinda left field/not core
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 October 2014 17:13 (nine years ago) link
tho tbh im not that into picachu

in the real world, no; for critics, yes
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
i always thought picachu was annoying and i think people are into it for its "weirdness" like he's just shouting random words or whateverwhich, tbf, he is, but the weirdness unto itself appreciation of young thug is kind of annoying imo
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2014 19:21 (nine years ago) link
it's one of his best & most coherent hooks, lyrically
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 October 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
i just mean 'my diamonds they say picachu' isn't the most clever hook, people just like the random reference
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2014 19:48 (nine years ago) link
a song called “Molly Workin’” has to hook harder than this one to make me forget that molly generates more fellatio providers than normally occur in nature.
this fuckin guy

well that part is sort of a non sequitur but everything that comes after that is just a pretty digestible modern rap hook constructed & delivered in a way that is very singular
― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 October 2014 20:01 (nine years ago) link
yeah but if he hadn't used the word picachu no one would single it out
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2014 20:03 (nine years ago) link
"my diamonds they say picachu" isn't random at all to his audience; pikachu sparkles and glimmers like a yellow diamond

i think it's the "they say" part that makes it a non sequitur

What is the with the terrible mastering on "I Got"? The rest of the Rich Gang tape sounds so clean.
― goon kabuki (The Reverend), Friday, 10 October 2014 22:09 (nine years ago) link
not to be all gamenerdrapgenius here but all pikachu says is "pikachu"; it's pretty much his only character trait, so "they say pikachu" isn't too odd as a description of an ostentatiously yellow diamond. pikachu's wink is a signature move:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CEAyHAG3L._SX300_.jpg

― snrub goin up on a tuesday (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 October 2014 22:13 (nine years ago) link
i didnt either. regardless i think the song is a stan favorite bc of the relatable cultural reference not bc its the best song on the tape
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 10 October 2014 22:24 (nine years ago) link
more credit for cleverness, tho
Pika pika

omg, i had almost forgot about picachu. such a great song!
― Frederik B, Friday, 10 October 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link
people like it bc it's a really fun young thug song not cause it's a really weird young thug song
― goon kabuki (The Reverend), Friday, 10 October 2014 23:49 (nine years ago) link
it's a fun track! the music feels very video game-y.

i'm halfway through the rich gang tape and it's such a drag. every song sounds exactly the same and there is such intolerable singing everywhere
― lex pretend, Saturday, 11 October 2014 11:10 (nine years ago) link
if i had any time for men singing badly about their feelings i'd be a fucking indie fan
― lex pretend, Saturday, 11 October 2014 11:17 (nine years ago) link
I like Young Thug but I can't really be doing with Rich Homie Quan at all. I'd be able to overlook an irritating persona if the beats were more fun and less generic but yeah the cumulative effect of four or five of these in a row is such a drag. I'm still mystified why so many rappers gravitate towards this one really fucking dull kind of beat.
(I get that it works for people, it's just clearly not for me, but it explains why hearing Mustard beats all over the place feels like such a breath of fresh air at this point)
― Matt DC, Saturday, 11 October 2014 11:38 (nine years ago) link
all the beats are identical and tinny and so slow
― lex pretend, Saturday, 11 October 2014 11:39 (nine years ago) link
it's such an energy-suck
― lex pretend, Saturday, 11 October 2014 11:40 (nine years ago) link
i am determined to get to the end of this tape and i can't believe it's STILL GOING
flava / war ready / i know it / beat it up are my favs
idk i get the crit that the whole tape sounds the same but thats more positive than neg imo

heard u saying this a lot recently and it is an interesting critique just not of thugger, quan fine
― lag∞n, Saturday, 11 October 2014 16:14 (nine years ago) link
singing about their feelings is like two tracks on this tape
