Could I get anything out of YG? Would revulsion overcome literary merit?

idk imago what are your thoughts on "My dick work girl, I don't need no mic check, no panties on I can see your pussy through that white dress."

elaborate dissections of oft-overlooked minutiae are a crucial and beloved component of yr discernible posting style imo

trolls all the way down

Mordy, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:35 (nine years ago) link

enjoying this YG album so far, production is great. reminds me of classic gangsta rap albums like 'doggystyle'

Let's all just be smug about how much more liberal and progressive we are than black people who grew up in deprived circumstances.

Matt DC, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:36 (nine years ago) link

Do we have these conversations every year when rap albums place or is this year special? Because y'all are acting like dummies.

think its time to bow out here

Get Ducked (Cosmic Slop), Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:39 (nine years ago) link

just a great combination of YG's massive personality coupled to a producer at the top of his game. perfect storm really

||||||||, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:42 (nine years ago) link

i don't think it's a particularly rare occurrence - i mean, there's still the owen pallett and st vincent albums to come in this poll for instance

hmm idk i guess those are 2 exceptions. i haven't listened to st v so i don't know how skilled the playing on it is, what i've heard of hers was just quirky indie pop tho. indie is not really a sick chops genre though, it grew out of the jangly halfassed post-punk tradition & even if some acts have shed that attitude and make slick music it doesn't necessarily mean their playing is at such a high level. the twin sis album sounds extra studio-skilled because of the style they play, though

flopson, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:42 (nine years ago) link

matt dc otm

flopson, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:43 (nine years ago) link

flopson, StV is a legitimately talented guitarist--must see her live to appreciate her chops

Indexed, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:44 (nine years ago) link

personally speaking i don't feel smug towards YG. i think he's obv a force of nature in terms of his personality + charisma and his songs are brilliant. but bc of my rarified hoity-toity cultural background i can't really play any of the songs off this album in front of ppl w/out offending delicate upper class sensibilities so i don't really get to enjoy it very much. fwiw i do think that white dress line is kinda hot idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mordy, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:45 (nine years ago) link

If I stay too long in Canada, I'll hear something like Bobby Schmurda and feel like I can't turn off my moral compass, lib feelings like "I understand that it's impossible to fully extract gun culture from all of American art but this is too much for me #Ferguson". But then I come back to the States and it's maybe on the second or third rest stop in rural upstate New York that I hear a white gas station attendant grumbling about the "n****r work" she's doing as she's mopping up spilled coffee and I basically shut my mind off, forget that I'm a faggot and press play on all rap

sonny and sber (fgti), Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:46 (nine years ago) link

i've seen st. v live at least twice, it ain't for everyone

have read and loved plenty of books containing unconscionable shit, on a par with or worse than some of rap's more objectionable perspectives

I'd be very frustrated if Aphex won, but I doubt he will. My bets are on #6

or his prior use of the c-word.

Get Ducked (Cosmic Slop), Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:50 (nine years ago) link

There are lots of lines on that album I wish didn't exist but the combination of YG and Mustard together is just electric on a purely musical level. A track like Left/Right is one of the most exciting noises I heard last year.

Matt DC, Thursday, 29 January 2015 19:50 (nine years ago) link

actually there was some chatter about a problematic sample on this one

I believe the problematic tune that I can't play to my liberal friends is "Produk 29 [101]"
