new album was good & prob underrateed but i cant help feeling like his entire career is contained in a song like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w6X_B9nVPg

flatbed freestyle is amazing... he's a popular and critically acclaimed young rapper who is somehow prob underrated as an auteurish weirdo
― J0rdan S., Friday, 1 March 2019 21:30 (five years ago) link
yeah agree w that summation ... the problem for me w that newer album is more abt sequencing than the actual content of the songs, it felt kinda like a random data dump ... strong music throughout, def kind of underrated bc hes not a uzi level star or w/e

uzi moment seems to have passed no?

"vamp anthem" keeps making me think "bowser's castle type beat" whenever i listen to it
― ufo, Thursday, 7 January 2021 07:11 (three years ago) link
haha this whole album sounds a little game soundtrack-y to me
― rob, Thursday, 7 January 2021 15:08 (three years ago) link
yeah absolutely that's just the funniest one to me
"m3tamorphosis" is very metroid soundtrack for example
― ufo, Thursday, 7 January 2021 21:59 (three years ago) link
Incredible production on this record. This is probably a lazy comparison but the whole thing feels very “punk” to me
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Monday, 18 January 2021 04:25 (three years ago) link
it's trap taken to its absolute logical conclusion by my reckoning. rhymes, flows, wordplays all but jetisoned for gurgles and squeaks, phrases repeated over and over, and some seriously out-there production. i'm on board.
― Specific Ocean Blue (dog latin), Monday, 18 January 2021 10:41 (three years ago) link
I love the mix on “die lit” and it might be one of my favorite albums in the genre. I think there’s some really cool sounds on this one, but I’m not a fan at all of the mix, everything sounds tiny and on the same level except the vocals, which - let’s be honest - aren’t the most pleasant thing to listen to.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 18 January 2021 17:13 (three years ago) link
the vocal experimentation is by far the best thing about the album
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Monday, 18 January 2021 17:18 (three years ago) link
“i’m just worried bout MEEEeeeee”
yeah its punk bc it is all sustain rather than the spaciousness of, say, "pretty girls like trap music". like a punk record, everything is same volume. and it's not a lazy idea, there's a song called "punk monk" on it! and rap has been flirting with rock and punk for like 5 years now
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Monday, 18 January 2021 18:38 (three years ago) link
I don’t disagree that they are a highlight, however the mix doesn’t do them any favors.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 18 January 2021 18:41 (three years ago) link
something i think would really help the album is if, in true punk fashion, the songs were shorter. m3tamorphosis does not need to be five minutes! also can't see why he didn't throw "@MEH" into the record either, it's probably his strongest track since *wokeuplikethis imo
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 03:37 (three years ago) link
“metamorphosis” is the only track that drags, imo
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 04:58 (three years ago) link
i kinda wish cudis presence was reduced to just the humming but its always a highlight for me anyway
― ufo, Tuesday, 19 January 2021 05:57 (three years ago) link
another thing this record reminds me of is the farrah abraham album, especially in the moments where he gets emotional talking about his brother

But yea I disagree w moka tbc
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 17:57 (three years ago) link
also can't see why he didn't throw "@MEH" into the record either
ha, instead he threw on a totally distinct track named "meh"
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 18:00 (three years ago) link
@meh was very 'ok at best' to me
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 06:12 (three years ago) link
i love “@meh” but *rockist sunglasses descend over my eyes* the album inhabits its own distinct world

I assume it's Cudi's moaning over the bottom of "M3tamorphosis" -- I love it.

*monk
i feel like i don't quite understand what the ppl who like this album are getting out of it... i feel like i've mostly read posts about how it's forward thinking or w/e but not much about what it is about the music, lyrics, performance etc that is actually enjoyable/memorable. it feels very well branded to me, mostly. there's some good songs on it but i found a lot of the leaked songs to just be catchier... i don't like anything on the record more than this

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:10 (three years ago) link
i think i can get w/ the album more if i think of it as evolutionary mf doom as opposed to, like, some magnum opus blockbuster rap album
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:11 (three years ago) link
to me ‘cancun’ just sounds like anything off his first album, whereas the album feels like an update of c. 2014 ‘sh!t‘ and ‘danny glover’ era of weirdo bangers (even if nothing on it comes close to the level of greatness of those 2). my fav part is the different voices. sometimes the combinations of the chorus of wheezing voice ad libs under baby voice is so grotesque and cacophonous i love it lol. can’t single out production on many tracks and i don’t think it would stand out with more conventional vox but it works and is v consistent. ‘teen x’ is def a highlight. a lot of the beats have snatches of fruity melody but also sound rough-hewn and busted; the ‘king vamp’ beat sounds like it was arbitrarily cut in half at a random second and then looped. lyrics is obviously the weakest part since it’s carti, there’s no ‘all of my cups are muddy/I fuck my bitches' buddies’ and none of his repetitions hit like future screaming ‘you ain’t fuck shit‘ but the relentlessness ‘when the sun goes down/yeah it’s time to creep’ is great. verse in ‘sky‘ is good too ‘im bout to dirty my cup/pour up some lean and get stuck’ but that’s one of the most conventional songs
― flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:31 (three years ago) link
i agree with that mostly except the production is very cool to me and i'd still love a lot of it even with more conventional vocals. i really love the blown-out game soundtrack sound and its all catchy enough to let him get away with doing whatever wild thing with his vocals that he feels like
― ufo, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:37 (three years ago) link
‘not PLaying’ another beat highlight imo
― flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:40 (three years ago) link
i've grown to appreciate the lyrics, maybe because the constant mantra repetition hammered into my subconscious, or maybe it's a "i like how he says it" thing (for lines like "i wanted to be just like my brother, he was a damn thug")

mentioned in the rap thread that the album this reminds me of the most is future's monster
― boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link
i love how ‘teen x’ beat sets these looping squiggles of zaytovenesque melodies off each other where they’re slightly detuned and don’t perfectly line up so they clash in a way that’s playfully demented, really fits the vocals
― flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:48 (three years ago) link
The older leak stuff is way smoother and complacent, the new stuff is more shocking and confrontational, it’s a new mode for him which is exciting, esp considering I was getting kind of tired of the sameyness of the leak tracks. I like the more active, aggro tone; the way he makes his vocals cut in and out feels more alive and less drowsy than a lot of the leak stuff Imo... I don’t just think this is an interesting variation but makes his earlier stuff seem a bit plain
