Not to bring up Radiohead again, but after rewatching Lost Highway I kept thinking about the song Exit Music (For a Film). I know it was written specifically for that Baz Luhrmann Romeo x Juliet movie, but I feel like it would have fit perfectly in Lost Highway. Also OK Computer released the same year so it could have been possible.

I played this this album to death last year, love it

Yea definitely and strangely enough even from a marketing/promo standpoint. If he made masks during the Covid hype that said “MAGA” etc people would have worn them.

He also was a democrat before so basically just another celebrity personality. Nobody thought he was actually gonna win

Great record, More Than a Letter was one of my favorite songs of last year

A few of these Governor’s are fascists in the making

it begins

love how the majority of old Yugoslavia says Albania. Things that will never change.

Weird self-owns by Belarus and Turkey.

@Noir cant believe i let this one slip me by, def scratching the title fight itch their absence has left

Did you laugh?

I checked out the new JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown project and it’s definitely good, but not much of it is very memorable. Maybe this is cause I haven’t kept up with the genre since like 2017, but most modern rap that ends up on my radar are these like short projects with what feels like a bunch of unfinished audio sketches filled with interesting experimental production but with vocals that are mixed in a such a way where you can’t make much of them out. I’ve heard a lot of this stuff get lumped together into what’s referred to as “alt rap”, but maybe “post rap” would be more appropriate. It doesn’t seem to serve the same function as traditional hip-hop. There’s not enough to latch onto.

listen to it on lower volume tbh. First time I listened was on headphones and it felt way too chaotic for me but the structures are actually relatively accessible once it doesn't jump all in your face.

I personally think it's Danny's best project since Old and maybe on par with LP! (likely a little lower tho).

You like it more than Atrocity Exhibition?

yeah

Wild

Atrocity isn't my fav Danny project by any means tbh. It has a few killer tracks tho which are better than anything on here.

Yeah I was gonna say. This makes sense though.

Also while I find him pretty funny when I can make out what he’s saying—I’ve never liked JPEG’s delivery and general presence.

So much rap is just a dude talking about how cool he thinks he is. It's all pretty gay tbh

Gimme the female rappers at least they're fun

Lmao

Listening to that Billy Bragg & Wilco album Mermaid Avenue. Pretty great.

Edit: Jusf realized I jumped from one collaboration album to another. It was already what I was planning on checking out so it’s a weird coincidence.

Yeah I've never really been able to get into jpeg. The joint project with Danny is cool though
