Yup. Medley of Wesley's Theory, Momma, King Kunta, and u. Great performances all around. Band sounded great. I've been thinking that the best way to do this would be to take a dope band on tour and do D'Angelo-esque shit. Only problem is that he can't take most of the folks who played on the album on tour. Glasper/Washington/Thundercat/etc all have their own careers. Still certainly they can help him form a dope band...

Miller and Ocelot are both kinda lame. Ocelot especially. He was a really neat character in earlier games and one of the most important in the entire series, but now he just sort of sits at Mother Base for tutorials. Also not a huge fan of Troy Baker's casting for him.

fuck a nu-ocelot. dude might as well be one of the mother base flunkies he has about as much presence.

still enjoying the hell out of this game though but nibel and net wrecker are 100 on what's wrong with it too.

new Tinashe goes. Colbert show aint as good as I hoped it would be but no late night show starts off great, I think it will rise to glory in a few weeks.

edit: god damn this game could have been about the moral decline of a noble warrior. instead we get kiefer fuckin sleeptalking his 15 lines in this game and kaz acting irrationally pissy all the time smh. with an improvement in mission and stealth gameplay (not overall gameplay though, where's my boss battles brehs) we got a decline in everything else :(

Agreed. It's probably my favourite thing I've played this year, but there a few spots where I can see how it could have been even greater.

The one thing I'll say for Kaz is that I at least like Robert Atkin Downes. He gives Kaz some real passion, like when you first rescue him and he's talking to Snake in the chopper, talking about forming Diamond Dogs and striking back at Cipher. It's intense and feels like a great Metal Gear moment.

But everyone else is just so flat. Kiefer has some alright presence from time to time, but he's so one note and is weirdly mute at times. I know some people apparently got tired of Hayter, but I would take him back in a heartbeat over Kiefer. And Patric Zimmerman back for Ocelot while we're at it.

I think it also sometimes happens in a biding war. Where an artist will switch for greater pay, but the original label doesn't want to lose them. So they agree to co-sign which essentially gives the artist even more money than single label signing. It shares risk between the two labels, and the second biding label can capture the artist at a lower price than what they originally planned but still receive comparable return for their investment.

damn, this sounds like a win/win on paper but i wonder what the drawbacks are for the artist - more management/chefs to answer to?
also who currently pulls this kinda deal, besides kdot?

I remember u was conflicted. Misusing ur influence. Sometimes I did the same. Abusing my power, full of resentment. Resentment that turnt into a deep depression. Found myself screamin in the hotel room: I didn't wanna self destruct, the evils of lucy was all around me. So I went runnin for answers....

...man, i just hit the goldmine yesterday: that DJ buddy who hooked it up with all the vinyl before? caught him before he had the rest dropped off at salvation army, and....there's a metric fuckton here. naturally most of the hip hop is singles, but of the LP's alone, there was some greatness (not shown: a bunch of advance albums with generic covers - 400 Degrees, Blueprint 2, Harlem World etc)

there's literally about 500 records here, and that's not counting another lot i picked up earlier this year that brought several hundred reagge ones (dude went $70 and there was easily 10-15 LL/Nas/etc LPs i wanted there), so yeah, i'm in the process of acquiring a few ikea expedit bookcases on craigslist to properly house these shits, at least till i can move some of em online.

ima get these cleaned & organized/set up, then get some good dank, my headphones & oversized beanbag and just chill all weekend - well, prolly the weekend after this one, but still, shit's gonna be nice

D'Angelo was incredible live, and yeah I can see this working really well with improv like segments.

Why don't rappers release their mixtapes on Spotify or any other streaming app? I mean, they can be sued for not clearing samples regardless of profiting over the songs, so why not?

Anyway, most of the recent mixtapes are full fledged projects with excelent production and cleared samples, like the new Ross. It's such a chore to have to download them on Datpiff or whatever and have to listen on a separate player on my phone.
