kanye = pop man no? best song on the record imo (honours even w/ RiRi & guwop)

yeah he renamed Pop Man "Kanye West" on iTunes after it was released, which is a p good joke imo
― rob, Monday, 5 September 2016 17:08 (seven years ago) link
that song was alternately titled "Wet Wet" or "Elton John" or "Elton" or "John" or "Pop Man" or "Kanye West" in the space of 2 weeks

"Again" from the first Slime Season I've come back to a lot this year

just discovered 'wanna be me' off of that. the one where he starts chatting about carrots.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Wednesday, 7 September 2016 23:26 (seven years ago) link
First time I heard that beat it made me think of Tiny Toons from growing up for some reason, and Bugs Bunny > carrots...idk
― nova, Thursday, 8 September 2016 07:22 (seven years ago) link
'wanna be me' is one of my favourite songs to start the day if it's sunny outside.
if you weren't listening to it already, you probably should spend some time with this: http://beefnbrocolli.tumblr.com/post/141424018567/maha-mondays-thugga-tapes (linked upthread). 'iowa' deserves more love.

hey that's one of mine! here is a re-up, I added in the mastered version of Iowa that surfaced recently (but left the video rip of Worth It because it sounds sweeter somehow).

Really dig the sound Metro Boomin uses on "Hercules" and, to use an older example, "The Blanguage." A little more spaced-out than his usual?
A+ Future/Young Thug combination producer tag intro too
Hadn't listened to I'm Up the whole way and completely skipped over SS3, going back and catching up on current-year Thug

I find I like the fuller, more 'colourful' production on these productions than most of the more minimal/subdued stuff on Barter 6
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Friday, 9 September 2016 07:45 (seven years ago) link
been listening to jeffery-coloring book-sremml2 on shuffle at the gym, recommended
― lag∞n, Friday, 9 September 2016 15:45 (seven years ago) link
Yeah with Barter 6 I really like "Dream" and, iirc, "Just Might Be," but overall it never hooked me like that.
Looking forward to being able to buy a physical copy of eventual official debut, hopefully.

cute concept but sort of gets tiring by the end. should have had more video of him performing the actual song.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:21 (seven years ago) link
i think the thing is he didn't show up for the video shoot
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:22 (seven years ago) link
lol sorry it says that in the video
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:25 (seven years ago) link
It pats itself on the head at the end, but so many music videos are interchangeable and disposable it's pretty cool seeing one with a voice.
It kind of makes me interested in the economics of music videos, too. $100,000 seems like a ton of money to dump on a song that's extraordinarily unlikely to become a hit.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:47 (seven years ago) link
seems like it woulda been a great video, shame
― flopson, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link
xp i would imagine YT's marketing/publicity budget is part of his contract with Atlantic and the line items for video per album released were set in ink well before the song was released... and given the label turmoil, they probably gave him a very large budget to work with as a sign of commitment. who, ultimately, is paying for that video is something of a different question.
― A big shout out goes to the lamb chops, thos lamb chops (ulysses), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link
Huh hadn't thought of that—a video budget essentially as part of the cost of landing an artist, not necessarily a ROI for marketing the project. Checks out, though
Other interesting takeaway here is videos might be more likely to go viral if you don't give the artist veto power over them

Thought it was a gimmick but he really did not show up.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:48 (seven years ago) link
understandable the director wld be upset that thugger nuked his whole production but his superior tone kinda grates
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 18 January 2017 15:23 (seven years ago) link
I can see how a fourth wall breaking music video might've seemed cool in the 80s though

rappers dont show up all the time lol

― devvvine, Friday, 24 February 2017 15:59 (seven years ago) link
That's one of his best vocal performances ever. I can't believe he's still getting better
― Evan R, Friday, 24 February 2017 17:52 (seven years ago) link
the video is really interesting too i think, hes such a twitchy and concealed visual presence but in this video (and in the song) it seems like hes opening up, and the song is called safe, this is very compelling art to me
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 February 2017 17:57 (seven years ago) link
yeah, it's really, really direct. He usually keeps his head down in his videos (and even on his recent album covers). But here he's not hiding his face or obscuring his words at all. I love his wild stuff, but I'd very much enjoy a full record this open
― Evan R, Friday, 24 February 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
and aesthetic of the the song too wow, its all working together, and yeah i had the same thought of a whole album like this
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 February 2017 18:15 (seven years ago) link
he's the best recording artist of the past 2-3 years and it's not even close.
