the quietus : the new look

Men that allow other men walk through the door first are the real gentlemen.

:D

Pusha T has a discography filled with lyrics about drugs. On “The Game We Play,” he gives a shoutout the drug dealers—the people behind the scenes— “the names they fade”. This song is for people like El Chapo. ”This is the drug money your ex nigga claim he made” will have many girlfriends asking their man why he isn’t making drug money. With the message behind this song, he shows respect for drug dealers, and the profession (Yes, the profession) of drug dealing.

i was certain it was a joke but reading through his twitter TL it really seems like a long and weird way to go for some simple-ass parody

it would usually have to be funny to be a successful parody really

As The Quietus sometimes does Mr. Agreeable reboots it's no surprise that it's intended humour has a tendency to leave one's sides intact

back with a banger...

Travis Scott invites a league of top-rate collaborators to the album. Unlike most artists who would like to utilize featured guests to the maximum, Scott takes a different approach. There are many contributors on the album, some even unmentioned. The interesting thing about his approach is, on songs like ‘Stop Trying To Be God’, ‘Skeletons’, and ‘Yosemite’ for example, not all the guests play major vocal roles in singing as they might usually do. This genius approach by Scott leads to a blend of so many sounds, vocals that act as condiments on these songs.

Happy 10th Anniversary!
The Top 100 Albums Of The Quietus' Existence, As Picked By tQ's Writers

Nothing Important is in my decade top 2 as well! Good shout Quietus

superb stuff; great list and an awesome number 1

looking forward to delving into all the records i hadn't heard b4 (after revisiting field of reeds first :) )

interesting list at the very least with the occasional completely bizarre pick, like i would have never imagined the quietus would rep for travis scott's birds in the trap sing mcknight, of all things?

agree with a lot on the list but the travis pick is ludicrous, especially considering all the artists he ripped off have made better albums/tapes. the us rap picks being kendrick/kanye/travis/death grips is so "i don't like rap but _____", really just missing run the jewels.

great site for 10 years

ah reading again this list was voted on by everyone who's ever contributed to the site, unlike the end of year lists which are compiled only by the 5 core staff. that explains why it's in some ways a lot less distinctive than i would have expected for a quietus list, but still doesn't explain travis scott showing up

that claim can't be true cos I contributed a few reviews to the quietus and they never contacted me for this article, the bastards :)

I uhm ... doubt that I'm the only Quietus reader over 40. Why then the eyechart typeface

To make you work for your edification. :-D

The Quietus is one of those websites that doesn't specify a typeface. So if you go into your browser settings, change the default typeface and reload the site you should find something more to your liking.
