New song https://soundcloud.com/lil_peep/love-letter-prod-charlie-shuffler

im enjoying charlie shuffler, just like how saying that name sounds

This song by peep collaborator lil Tracy is even better tbh. He also steals his guest spot on Hellboy

this is good rtc

this hits a strange, previously unimagined sweet spot

bits of it are grungy, other bits lofi, and some of it reminds me of ... modest mouse. is he from somewhere near the NW?

I heard a rumor Lil Tracy is Ish from Digable Planets' son

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV6YOP5iWys

hes better at rapping than Peep but they complement each other well

Anthony Fantano calls Lil Peep's "Hellboy" one of the worst ten albums of the year:

Ha. Solidified as one of the greats then

i missed this thread the first time around, but it is a treat. i enjoyed Joan's 'grunge harmonies' posts.

i heard this when it came out because i kinda know one of the producers, whose vibe is very much mall punk + witchy/cloudy/sad boy rap. i get it and it might be the best-executed thing i've heard in this style, but is still basically unlistenable for me personally.

also on that Lil Tracy track either the vocal track is misaligned or he's just mad out of time. sounds like the former to me. i know there's a lot of tolerance for that as a sound post-Lil B but i cannot take it.

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

I'm still lolling that peep's most frequent collaborator is the son of a member of digable planets this whole thread is a bunch of ppl basically admitting they've given up on following where the culture is headed

I prioritize what sounds good/is interesting to listen to over concern about "where culture is headed"

if "this whole thread ... basically admitting" means straight years of petulant deeply entrenched incurious revelry then yeah

someone is mistaking "where the culture is headed" for "what deej and some guy at pitchfork fancy atm."

yeah deej peep aint poppin in these norwegian streets

i for one welcome our banal self-pitying white rap overlords

itt white on white violence

You'd think that would be big in norway

Xp

If you want to discuss what's hot on the snowy streets of Norway, that's fine with me. What I really want to know atm is how Lil Peep shows us where the culture is headed, though.

early adoption as an end in itself

peep is p much modern "punk" imo, and its cute + catchy idk abt culture

Tf? That's not what is happening when I point out that ppl are out of touch

tbh i think it's pretty awesome how this album starts with a recording of deej in his lair

'i thought she was the one / but she was just another one' is a good line

guys it's not about the rapping it's about being ~in touch~, please get over your tired old notions of "good rapping" and whatnot

You're out of touch with what constitutes good rapping although "good rapping" isn't really what this is about per se

That said lil Tracy is actually a pretty good rapper

You're out of touch with what constitutes good rapping

"Kenneth Gorelick is selling millions of records. He's John Coltrane" -D-40, 1992

People like you are the reason no one gave Kenny g collaborator kashif never got the respect he deserved

lol Kashif I remember when Sanborn snatched his Kenny G Unit chain and posted it on YouTube

lol

sanborn a real g tho

the year of Peep thinkpieces begins

http://pitchfork.com/features/rising/10001-tears-of-a-dirtbag-rapper-lil-peep-is-the-future-of-emo/

Peeppieces

my first impression from this piece and its accompanying pictures is that this dude's approach to bandaids mirrors my toddlers'

dirtbag style signifiers mentioned:

clutching a water bong without lighting it for almost an hour, a blanket draped across his lap

He flaunts his relationship with Layla, recently showing up in a tweeted photo with his face is planted in her bare ass. (The caption: “fine dining.”)

His music recalls Kurt Cobain’s tortured sense of self, the jetpack fuel for his breakthrough September mixtape Hellboy, mostly recorded in a forgotten drug-fueled haze at his old place in Skid Row.

he now spends his days watching “Scooby Doo” and compulsively recording down the hall from his living room with a bare setup of a single pink-lit lamp on the desk next to a towering bong, clothes strewn in the corner, takeout cartons scattered on a futon, and a microphone centering the space.

living in a space with just one roommate, tucked in the back of an alley dotted with apartments along the way to a staircase littered with trash on the awning

an empty pizza box on the counter

sounds like a real genius

bums me out that tinny drums and shitty synths now qualify as "wall of sound"

I know I'm now middle-aged and therefore The Enemy but I get nothing about this dude's appeal

what's not to get about being cuet and self-pitying

lol @ you olds w/yr "whether the records are good" or whether they "sound" good or whether the guy "can't rap for shit" or "is basically Ariel Pink." check the sweater you guys, Peep is headed for that Vampire Weekend money

I shouldn't be trying to rewrite "Cousins" as "Lap Bong" right now, should I

you guys are mad doggie
