Thraed of Lil Peep

"this dogshit is squishy like a banana"
"bananas aren't squishy exactly, what if they're still in the peel?"
"well it smells like garbage"
"not like any kind of garbage I've ever thrown out"
"it's stuck to the bottom of my shoe"
"how can it be 'sticky' and 'squishy' at the same time?"
"well it's certainly dogshit"
"i think we've proven you don't understand what dogshit is, haven't we?"
"okay i'm gonna go"
"STAY HERE AND TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS DOGSHIT"

youre acting like there's some objective truth to your dislike of this music but this is actually a recording artist, not literal dogshit

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks, im not going to argue w/ your subjective experience of the music, but if you're going to misdescribe it or try & say the banana is made of dogshit, im going to point out that its actually not

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks

well you did start a thread on ILM about it so methinks thou doth protest too much

^^^first fair point in this thread

i dont gaf if a bunch of out of touch 30+ year old men think this sucks,

yes, im just saying its not like i expect the majority of my demographic cohort to love it, just those with exceptional taste

it's cool ums, deej is "one of the good ones"

haha ok you got me legit lolling at work, bravo

listening to Ka and paying my bills online #grownmanrap

i actually don't mind lil peep too much really, but it seems like really in the vein of a lot of stuff now like spooky black and alan kingdom and all that other shit i dunno what makes this so different

Struggling to believe Lil Peep is actually a real artist and that this isn't just some algorithmically-generated thread based on everyone's known posting styles.

haha otm

the question is : will he ever be as successful as yung lean ?

he will be much more successful than yung lean

deej also what is the extent of your jazz training? do you play? or were you a music theory major or something?

hand-sewed spiritual jazz hats iirc

https://www.music-map.com/lil+peep.html

i played trumpet for idk 12 years, ~3-4 years seriously in HS-> college before realizing i didn't want to be a music major. i still have my trumpet. studied classical & jazz, did a couple summer programs for jazz around that time. played in a jazz combo for a bit in high school out of a real book, haa. Jazz was big at my H.S.—one of the guys who graduated when I was a freshman was asked to join lincoln ctr jazz orchestra by wynton iirc, and a guy i graduated with still plays trumpet & works as a musician in LA, you can hear him on trumpet on this terrace martin live performance of kendrick's "for free" https://soundcloud.com/terrace-martin-music/terrace-martin-friends-for-free-live-at-del-monte-speakeasy

i was interested mainly in improvisation & did a lot of trying to transcribe solos. i can also circular breathe, lol

cool you should start to play again! terrance martin thing is really good

i'm pretty sure i'm the first person to have thought of this but maybe you could combine ~~~jazz & hip hop~~~ think about the possibilities

biddy biddy bop
funky funky

lol

my lazy comparisons after listening to hellboy: Blink 182, Why?, Rae Sremm, Clouddead, FKi

that reminds me, Digable Planets are playing here tomorrow and I can't bag my friend's election party to go see them ;_;

here's someone who gets it

I'll jump on the pro-Peep pigpile and agree with D-40. There's something there. I love the track White Wine with Lil Tracy. My wife and the few friends I've shared it with are like, NO. This is Warped Tour burnout, I sell Oxy and chug magnums of Yellowtail at the gas station shit. He's going to be bigger than Spooky Black and Yung Lean.

he's probably already bigger than yung lean and spooky black

at least going by streaming numbers considering pretty much no mainstream press has picked up on him yet

yes, im just saying its not like i expect the majority of my demographic cohort to love it, just those with exceptional[ly contrarian] taste

A philologist from the future stopped by to emend your corrupted text. Thank him in your footnotes.

as goes yelploaf so goes the country

How is it contrarian to make a thread about a new artist I like before anyone on ilx has even weighed in

Because he's not very good?

I wouldn't necessarily say "contrarian", probably more "weirdly optimistic in the face of an overwhelming historical trend re: how ppl here react to acts like this"

xxxp - let's hope so. i voted for the Socialist, Alyson Kennedy.

oh deej loves it

between 'beemer boy' and 'gym class' man i feel like lana del rey looms over this. of all people.

"Acts like this"...the point I made in the opening post was that this was an example of an artist like years & years where it sounds bad on paper but is actually good, which has recently had a pattern of positive responses on this board actually. For some reason I can't understand the first responders on any thread I make about music are ppl like joan shakey forks et all who I share little in common w musically at least as far as new music

Oh. I'd argue that Years & Years isn't really that good either, rendering the thesis null and void but eh, pvmic etc

(I also think the specific type of artist you were thinking of would come to other people's minds more readily if you, you know, named them when you made allusions to them.)

I was the 7th person to post on this thread and I posted like 2 things but sure ok we are all out to get you

It begins http://p4k.in/9adBEKA

i like that, sounds like blink-182 x witch house

he's making the underlying pop melodic associations we have with pop punk

if pop punk you mean the mall punk whatever smashmouth type stuff then yes, that is very present here. Unfortunately for me.

@ jordan : yung lean has a song with 20M views... he's not as popular.

The European weighs in on the popularity of a European rapper

i think spanish people couldn't care less about a swedish rapper though.

yung lean's most recent videos have like 1-2 million views, peep isn't quite there yet but also has no press or record label

So... He's not as popular

yung lean is completely forgotten in the us except as a meme maybe. im sure that currently, peep has a good claim on being more popular

like, post malone's album is about to flop, most guys in that ironic cloud rap vein have the lifespan of a meme

Lil Peep - better or worse than Yung Lean? DISCUSS!
