Clipping - Midcity (noise rap)

...I wonder how they would feel about Diggs if he was just some guy and not in Hamilton?

I don't even think of him this way; I think of him as the guy from blackish. I like his lyrics but not his voice; it's a problem, because the music is often great. If his delivery was more hoarse/horrific/agitated in a New Kingdom/Son of Bazerk/ODB/Gravediggaz sort of way, I'd be much more into this.

i find the monotone, carefully paced delivery very effective

"I wish this Tony-award winning actor was more like ODB" is ... NAGL

I was just riffing on Coachella appearances btw

"I wish this Tony-award winning actor was more like ODB" is ... NAGL

Show your work, numbnuts. If you think ODB wasn't a performance, it's you who's got the problem.

haha, facts

I think of him as the guy from blackish.

Also Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

he was absolutely the best thing about this very bad play that i ended up leaving at intermission; he's one hell of a good theater actor

Okay, so I already knew Death Grips and was pointed to JPEGMAFIA by Spotify; who else is in this vein that I should be checking out?

*cracks knuckles*

lol I almost wrote WHINEY/SIMON H BAT SIGNAL

First and foremost is Dälek, obviously. Chase with Cannibal Ox, Techno Animal, B L A C K I E and Food for Animals

i am curious what a djp thinks about DJ Paul

Also, you're into 80s industrial right? Are you up on the Beatnigs?

First and foremost is Dälek, obviously. Chase with Cannibal Ox, Techno Animal, B L A C K I E and Food for Animals

Also Ice's Bad Blood (a Techno Animal offshoot) and anything by Sensational, especially Loaded With Power (any/all of his albums on WordSound are better than the one he did for Ipecac).

I haven't thought about The Beatnigs in decades, wow

getting to see Death Grips (touring Ex Military) with B L A C K I E opening was a wild delight

(obv I was all about them/Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy back in the day)

Dalek is a great call, though I haven't really kept up with the more recent albums. The run of From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots through Abandoned Language is phenomenal though.

I've probably said this before, but Beatnigs to this is one of the wildest career arcs

I can remember the exact face I made when I realized who "Say Hey" was by

Jeremy Nutzman (has performed as Spyder Baybie Raw Dog, Pony Bwoy and now Velvet Negroni - VN is more in the Frank Ocean vibe now than what he was doing)

I don't know why I avoided Dälek and Cannibal Ox for so many years

:)

Stuck deciding whether From Filthy Tongue... or The Cold Vein is better eh

Cold Vein is so sick, I'm not in the mood for it all that often but it sure scratches a very specific itch

Another vote for Cold Vein, it's crazy good.

The Cold Vein is all-time, as is Funcrusher Plus, which doesn't get name-checked as often as it should imo. Dälek also rules, of course.

Anyway, this may be relevant to your interests, DJP:

yo is it true vordul got sonned by a wite kid after a aol beef??????

I would actually vote From Filthy Tongue in that poll, it is completely mindblowing imo and it has probably the best pair of closing tracks I can think of

imago otm, I love Cold Vein but From Filthy Tongue has held up even better over the years imo

lol pomentitul beat me to it

DJP is all over that thread already lol, but always worth a read

I saw that the new record was #2 on the Rate Your Music so I checked it out. Liked it but didn't love it.

Now I read the effusive praise and comparisons to artists I adore above and I will have to listen again and see what I missed.

It's not 'experimental' enough imo, too much dead air throughout.

visions of puppies being bought

New live album BTW

https://clppng.bandcamp.com/album/double-live

Ha, was just coming here to see if 'Puppy for Hanukkah' had been posted.

I kind of want a Clipping remix of "Puppy for Hanukkah"

I'm just now listening to the live album they released in July and it's a fantastic piece of ambient art

https://clppng.bandcamp.com/album/double-live

July June

y'all

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

Holy shit, I just put that on to check and ended up watching the entire performance

Enlacing is just unreal isn't it

I mean it's all unreal and that was a truly special performance

Great interview too

Quick note this is happening tomorrow -- or today, depending on where you're at.
