I enjoyed reading Leninās thoughts on rap from beyond the grave.
this beat reminds me of a mozart sample i did once lol
wish i still had my bandcamp beats from like 2008
whole album dropped !
i remember some of these from ~2014 soundcloud uploads so glad they all exist here now
oh hey this beat does it for me
never heard this guy before, but i dig it
he kind of blew up a little bit when this video went viral
indonesian rapper who learned english from rap music basically
really want to drop a rich chigga song in every one of my sets from now until forever
iām a big fan of robin jamesā work deconstructing the aesthetic of mumblerap-y artists
here she sets up the new āchillā trend against what lean represents: https://soundstudiesblog.com/2016/08/01/pops-chill-thrills-arent-so-cheap/
and here she talks about the lean aesthetic in the context of a āslow deathā framework: https://www.its-her-factory.com/2016/07/slow-death-sound-lean-ontology/
Iām honestly quite taken with slow-ass-music-because-exhaustion-under-capitalism notion, spooking the shit outta me more than ever in the process but thatās probably at the root of my distaste for it too
Iād like people to not feel exhausted
Funny I was gonna post this and then I saw the number of unread posts and went uh oh.
Anyway, crazy to think this came out twenty years ago. It still sounds so vital.
yeah, thatās why I think itās really useful to juxtapose it against the new dominating āchillā aesthetic, which is equally exhausting to me for different reasons
if anything the only thing thatās changed is the fact that both styles are happening simultaneously as opposed to one being a response to the other
like, both are a response to the same world state and so you evaluate based on the politics of production, etc.

(Iām ignoring the conversation about rap here, but for the record I am strongly against the āall rap is about getting drunk and abusing womenā as it is not only reductive, but also racist)
