ha i had no idea 'day and night' was kid cudi -- where have i heard this song before??
― deej, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 06:52 (fifteen years ago) link
hmm im guessing i heard this crookers remix @ some 2am intoxicated adventures -- pretty good track
― deej, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 06:54 (fifteen years ago) link
the original i mean, this remix is balls
i swear none of the dudes that make these remixes actually dance
who listens to remixes of kid cudi songs
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 06:55 (fifteen years ago) link
not accusing - just saying
that crookers remix is garbage i'd rather listen to justice
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 06:58 (fifteen years ago) link
same ppl who listen to crookers remixes of whatever the fuck else - its blog/bmore bullshit that gets tons of club play now
― deej, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 06:59 (fifteen years ago) link
that's why i stay home and play mario kart on the weekends
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:00 (fifteen years ago) link
the internet has ruined the remix right? i feel like everyone has a crookers remix nowadays. how the hell am i supposed to care
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:02 (fifteen years ago) link
its weird none of this shit seems particularly fun to dance to -- im used to old-ilx-style debates about dance music where everybody talks in reductive terms about a black-white polarity between funkless trance and groovin disco-house or whatever, and although i reject the simple and wrongheaded binary opposition there i have to admit it has sorta subconsciously informed the way i look at a lot of dance, even if in the most general, so-many-exceptions-to-the-rule terms.
this stuff though has really done a service to this sort of offensive race-informed discourse by removing it -- so many shitty djs of all races in this scene, and it is a genuinely diverse scene .... and sometimes it'll have good ideas and sometimes it will have shitty ones, but the worst is this BMORE BREAK x BORING GRATING SYNTH MELODY thing. and this isnt some lol im old bullshit i dont think -- this feels different, like i 'get' whats fun to dance to when listening to a bmore mix, i 'get' house music (obviously) but this stuff seems sheerly irritating when its all thrown together, like there's no vibe, no attempt to really make anything happen, just to signify 'progress' by with this cobbled together frankenstein dance music
― deej, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:07 (fifteen years ago) link
that said this kid cudi track (the original) is dope and deserves a really banging dance remix -- which this crookers version is not
― deej, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:08 (fifteen years ago) link
no fucking clue why im talking about this on the ringtone thread but i blame 808s and heartbreak
i blame preview of the matrix 12
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:11 (fifteen years ago) link
to be honest i always thought that real hard ravey shit like crookers was made to be purposefully grating and antagonistic - like "try dancing to this" but in an asshole way
i mean i don't see how you physically could do it. i thought this was inherent
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Listening to it, it's not great, but I wouldn't not dance to it. It's hardly at the extreme end of the noise-synth house trend.
― Ringtone Tycoon (The Reverend), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Seems like it's taking its cues from bassline as much as bmore or Justice

arab money video is kind of hilarious - i approve of shawty lo and ace hood sheepishly dancing
― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 07:31 (fifteen years ago) link
The original is dope though

wtf is 'crookers' and why u guys gotta further the idea of 'bmore' as some abstract concept that wack dudes anywhere can just co-opt with a fast breakbeat
― nutz in a good way, aka bustin (some dude), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah seriously those who co-opt it correctly know to call it Club Music

and obviously the blame rests solely in the hands of the BLAWGZ
more on topic, i love Emeritus
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i'm looking forward to buying that probably today. is it pretty similiar to Made or a whole different deal?
― nutz in a good way, aka bustin (some dude), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 15:46 (fifteen years ago) link

― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

who the fuck is Wacko and why is he so awesome
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Wednesday, 3 December 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Wacko is from Juvenile's group UTP. first verse of "Nolia Clap," man!
― nutz in a good way, aka bustin (some dude), Wednesday, 3 December 2008 15:56 (fifteen years ago) link

DEEJ!

OFFICIAL SONG DANCES are getting ever shittier. Still don't know if I like the tune.
― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:19 (fifteen years ago) link
i like the tune but its ignorant as fuck -- song has been stuck in my head 4ever and its the kind of goofy bullshit that busta needed, none of that self-mythologizing Dr Dre assist bullshit & drug talk
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Busta Rhymes as ambassador for stony faced "stop snitching" mid 00s thuggin' has to be the worst career move of the past decade in terms of quality drop off.
― Peter "One Dart" Manley (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:35 (fifteen years ago) link
ron browz is a good thing for rap right now anyway, interesting and identifiable approach i think
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 00:38 (fifteen years ago) link
this prodigy 'product of the 80s' album is kinda cool, i dig the production vibe he went for -- honestly id rather hear big twins half the time tho, and whats with no alchemist on this? the more a joint sounds like that classic alchemist/big twins track the more im gonna like it
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:15 (fifteen years ago) link
the cover is bonkers
