saying "Abe Vigoda" out of context and expecting everyone to understand you mean some indie band and not the actor they're named after is probably the most in character post ever

How many other hip-hop albums are entirely based on movies? The only other one I can think of right now is Nighthawks
― i'm whine btw (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 25 November 2008 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
if we're gonna count mixtapes with movie-themed titles/covers/skits like that Juelz thing, then thousands.

"The closest any of the defendants came to celebrity was John E. Forté, a hip-hop artist and backup singer to Carly Simon who was convicted of aiding and abetting in the distribution of cocaine. (Ms. Simon put up the bail of $250,000 for Mr. Forté when he was arrested in 2001 at Newark International Airport.) Mr. Forté was sentenced to 14 years in prison, but Mr. Bush commuted the remainder of his sentence."
Could anything possibly be more gangster than going to jail for over a million dollars in liquid coke, serving half your sentence and then being pardoned by W?

I know a guy whose producer did a track on the Bad Santa thing, he sent me a link to a track last week and said "Sounds like they are doing some stupid shit to the beat though. Kinda hurts my heart a bit."

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

― 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

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

yeah seriously those who co-opt it correctly know to call it Club Music
