@Ruprecht what is the wildfire situation where you are?

Fucked.
I'm not in the hills, but a lot of friends were evacuated during the Cudlee Creek fire. They were fortunate that none of them lost their homes, although the fences were burnt and other houses on their street were lost.
A cousin and his wife are fighting the fires in rural Victoria (Gippsland) at the moment (they are both in the CFA).
Another hot and windy day here today (only 36 at the moment, but it's likely to hit at least 42).

My only problem with Joyner is that he rides so many waves that i'm not sure he knows exactly where his lane is. Like that song is the Em/Post Malone special, he has some tracks that sound like they could be on a drill tape, and he dabbles in conscious rap that can vary wildly between Lupe (good) and Hopsin (bad). I feel like he's still trying to find HIS sound. He needs a really defined producer to iron out his sound for him. Like a Madlib or OZ or something.

Never thought of it that way but you're 100% right. I think it's funny him basically mocking Future (who is a fucking icon. Purple Reign was incredible) but Future is both consistent in style and tone. Honest was a great album. There's a bar when I'm on the block that always puts on Turn on the Lights when they see me walking up. (hella better than three different DJs who play "Just a lil thick" when I walk into the club.

Even ADHD seems, while a great track, muddied with a lack of identity. His bars on Kamikaze were great, but I feel like when you're featuring for Eminem you always bring it, especially with the tone of that album.


Like I think this is a fucking incredible track, his bars are incredible and he's got one of my favorite flows in the game right now.

Also LMAO at Hopsin, it's still ironic the only thing he made I can listen to was him mocking ATL mumble.

As far as newer artists go Ski Mask The Slump God is likely my favorite. Juice and XXX both had a lot of promise for such young cats. Kodak Blacks project baby was great though. Dude has hella talent, J Cole talking about him and how he needs more guidance is legit.

How do you feel about the clear influence of LSD and shrooms in younger hip hop now? Cole Bennet has been killing it as a video director for these newer guys, and even did the JUICE/Future videos.
 
Regardless of views on the death penalty, if someone is taking a mirror selfie in the gym change room, you should have a free pass to drown them in the toilet

My favorite band is Pink Floyd, so it's nothing really new for me lol. I've been waiting on the psychadelic wave in hip hop for ages. I think it's a bit of the sign of the times though. Absurdist comedy is on the uptake, and is pretty much the predominant identifier of Millennials and Zoomers. We just like weird shit. It's hard to really pinpoint a genesis, but it's become so ubiquitous that we flock toward it in droves. It makes sense that people would get more into psychedelics as we embrace the weird and shuck off the norms of prior generations.

Also worth noting the pioneers, that being Odd Future. OFWGKTA was the first instance in hip hop where being weird was seen as a real asset instead of hampering the artists. DOOM is one too, but he was weird in a way you could quantify (He's the superhero's supervillain). Odd Future was just weird for weird's sake, and it worked.

Always liked this song by doom.



Used to get super high when I was 16 and this song would put me in an interesting zone.

Solid note on absurdist art taking over culture. It's honestly my writing/performance style. (My new bit about Sexually Transmitted Trauma and faking an orgasm because you sober up mid stroke and notice too many pictures of her step brother in her bedroom has been murdering)

Why do you think absurdist art has permeated millennial and gen Z pop culture so much?

I fucking hate people that talk shit about modern hip hop with that Boomer ass "back in my day" as a rose tinted reminder of the 90s. Modern hip hop, and most art is in a beautiful place. One of the girls I'm dating actually brought up that I'm highly critical of individual people but extremely defensive about art. (I asked her to leave my apartment because of an argument about trans jokes in comedy because she called Daves LGBTQ joke hacky)

Odd Future clearly took it one step higher, and hit the silly nature of the suburban spiral of boredom note perfectly. I attribute Odd Future more to skater culture though.

One of the greatest songs ever written about Lucy right here, I think A$AP Rocky can be attributed a lot with switching from the whole syrup to LSD/shrooms as far as drug culture in hip hop goes. Hell my ginger ass was sipping lean listening to Purple Reign.


Try and tell me LSD didn't play a part in this video lol.


Looking back on what you said earlier about early influences of psychadelic culture in hip hop I also think people really underrate Kid Cudis impact.



You make a valid point about the culture change, most hip hop videos are far more absurdist and emotional compared to the wealth flaunting of the 90s and 2000s.

DOOM to me is still the most underrated rapper on earth. He's every bit of top 5 all time, but doesn't have mainstream appeal. He's the epitome of "Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper". He pops up, drops crazy heat, and just floats off back into wherever the fuck he goes to do Supervillain shit. Legendary.

We have no thread sin the WR. Found one in Mayberry from November when I guess this shit started.

There actually was one but it got sent to the beyond for having an OP that was half a sentence.
 
@HockeyBjj did you ever try watching The Witcher?

Funny enough, I think it's part reality TV, part 9/11, and part internet escapism. 9/11 was formative in destroying the "safe" culture of the 90s and throwing us wholesale into this new different world. Reality tv warped our reality and presented it back to us as acceptable. It made reality malleable. And the internet is the internet. It's a whole culture created by Gen X and Millennials tangential from "reality culture", and therefore not required to be linked to it. Generations raised on the internet have to be versed in it because it's where we live. We understand it.

Put all those things together, and it makes sense why we'd thrive on the absurd. Gen X was largely adult with the advent of the internet, but forward thinking "nerds" set the baseline that Millennials picked up on and ran with as we came of age. Zoomers, being raised almost wholly in that environment, picked it up and ran with it themselves, layering internet and reality culture into our current zeitgeist. It's a convergence of the two in the absence of a set foundation like we had in the 90s. I think it's also why Millennials and Zoomers get along so well. The internet is a hard delineation in generations. If you were raised on it (or at least learned how to traverse it), you get it. If you know the old ways primarily, you might be left out or think it's "stupid".

4 Chan, memes and social media. More kids are staying indoors, and nowadays the autist's have a say in the culture change due to the online presence being ever prevalent. Not to mention the world view being sarcastic and doomsday.

Have watched a few episodes this far. Giving it a fair shake. Too much high fantasy stuff going on to properly keep track of is a pretty big negative on it.

The fight scenes in episode 1 (vs the bar thugs and vs Renfri) had some awesome choreography tho. One of the best I've seen tbh
