yeah i was sadly wrong about this, obviously he became a mega label priority. hes still insanely corny & nowhere near as talented as peep was

how is it a backpat you low iq music board parasite?
i cant believe im wishing for the days when forks primary mode of interference was making endless useless playlists from people's conversations instead of hounding me w/ passive aggressive projection

deej, It's not passive, I actively dislike you.
your imaginary sense of ownership on very specific artists is offensive enough but it's particularly horrible when you're preening about how ahead of the curve you were for an artist who is getting a "died for the sins of his generation" treatment in GQ.

What “ownership” dumbass?? What fucking ownership? I said I liked something & made a case for it, that’s it
Saying it’s crazy how the convo went from highly controversial /trash talking to literary greats over the course of a few months doesn’t actually have anything to do with me?
You are completely projecting
And it’s passice aggressive bc you just run into every thread sniping about it in fake little asides instead of actually having a conversation
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 03:19 (six years ago) link
Not that I want a conversation just stop fronting
its pretty funny how quickly lil peep went from ... the convo at the top of the thread to a literal john jeremiah sullivan subject, though
I'd be more inclined to consider that projection on my part if you didn't feel the need to squeeze out multi post ad hominem rants that end with "i don't even want to talk to you".

How is “literary greats would never write about him if he hadn’t died” not an even more fucked thing to say about a dead kid, exactly?
If he was really the steaming pile of worthless garbage described upthread his death probably wouldn’t have inspired breathless John Jeremiah Sullivan profiles, sure. But Pointing out that the dominant tone switched from critical to reverent quickly isn’t saying anything about who was “right” or “wrong” about his work
It’s odd to me that the person accused of cynicism over the dead kid is one of the people who actually enthused about his artistic output while he was alive but whatever makes you feel better for shitting up this thread with your non contributions

Sooo the JJS piece, too bad he didn't connect the "hairy dj" with the guy who produced his fave Peep track.
Lots of embarrassing bits in there The intro, annotating the lyrics Genius-style etc) but I thought he hit a lot of good notes too.

I agree fwiw, more amused by what it means that he even took the assignment (pitched it?)
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 04:03 (six years ago) link
yo outsider here but imo it takes a dedicated deej hater to read "taking satisfaction" into that post, like i too am amazed at how quickly lil peep went from bad internet musician to subject of serious journalism and i have no stake in this at all.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 31 January 2018 04:04 (six years ago) link
imo,"the dominant tone switched from critical to reverent" entirely because the kid is dead and if that's me being cynical then i would ask where all the think pieces about his immediate contemporaries are at.

jon caramanica who wrote the glowing piece in the ny times was a fan of his before he died chief
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 05:22 (six years ago) link
caramanica spilled way more ink on the nothing nowhere kid (or xxx or uzi or lil pump) than he did on peep until peep died
― Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil' guys out. (ulysses), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 06:08 (six years ago) link
That’s completely false. Are you talking about the huge times feature on the new rap underground where he calls peep the scene’s Kurt cobain and barely touches on xxx? Just give up forks, you’re being dumb
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 08:21 (six years ago) link
And yes he got super into peep knockoff Nothing Nowhere for some reason but pointing out that he preferred one white emo rapper to another doesn’t make a very compelling case that no one cares about white emo rappers until they die
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 31 January 2018 08:22 (six years ago) link
yeah Caramanica did a podcast on the scene heavily featuring peep months before he died

my argument, such as it was, was that your phrasing was hella gross. Past that, I suggested that the main reason that conversation on peep has shifted from critical to reverent is because he died way too early. This is not shocking; nobody wants to speak ill of the dead. Nobody said "no one cares about white emo rappers until they die" except you.

outside of those points, i got nothing to say about peep, so I'll clear the floor.

my argument, such as it was, was that your phrasing was hella gross.
And this argument is a shallow & obvious fig leaf for your personal resentment bc there’s nothing gross about what i said, It’s a neutral observation about how fast the critical narrative shifted that you’re bringing a whole bunch of baggage into of your own. Please fuck off

Peep's love for RHCP is pretty endearing and kinda explains a lot imo. Got me to revisit their catalog with new ears around when he passed and deej posted that tweet of his upthread (also saw them live around that time).

I really love “come on over when you’re sober, pt 1.” Kind of crude but earnest, charming and at moments heartbreaking. Kills me that this kid—who was 9 years younger than me I think—is dead and just reinforces my hatred of drugs

happened to watch this yt awhile back on a slow work day, its good but be warned i could not believe & was a bit shaken up by the image of peep having od'd (its @ 23:44 according to a comment)
