Nah the new fetty wap got some decent tunes. Heard quite a few of them before. I dunno I just enjoy his melodies. Obviously it ain't going t be something I'm listening to a year from a now, but its mindless tunes for the moment.
Theres about 6 or 7 tunes on this. I'll take that, chuck the rest in the bin. Not sure what else everyone expected from it?

How does that girl exist.
I'm "sorry" if you're sick of me saying "this sucks" or "this is boring", but this is a boring track
Pretty much how I've gotten with vaporwave music honestly. I remember finding this マクロスMACROSS 82-99 to be amazing and then I decided to listen to the original and yeah.....

could say the same about most samples in general. does it really matter if it sounds good tho?
fetty gonna do fine this first release then burn out real quick. his schtick is already stretching thin. ephemera of the moment soon to be lost to the ether *.tokugif*
Somebody on another forum basically asked me to share my feelings on Super Villain, given how much I've played it over the past month, here they are:
I love Super Villain it's such an honest mixtape. Usually when you hear a gangsta rap tape there will always be these big breaks in character to try and show a softer side, allude to a desire to change, or create something for the ladies (radio). $ha Hef is unabashedly set in his ways and in portraying thug life in the most accurate and blunt fashion. In turn the pure savage nature of his descriptions and grimy atmosphere that he sets up gives subtle hints that his life isn't exactly anything to boast about, but at the same time he refuses to relent and buries his psyche in this super villain role as a refuge against the tragic, brutal nature of his work. He's aware and then willfully deluded in the next sentence. If I listen to albums like these because it's such a telling example of classism at work on my eyes. They're Super Villains created almost systematically by social conditioning and economic disparity. The American Dream lives and dies in drug trafficking in the eyes of people who don't have the connections or diligence to stick it out in school and waste time vying for a dead end job when the seemingly easy untaxed money is being exchanged right in front of them.
And although I never really fantasize about the lifestyle, I must admit it does conjure up these feelings of the sublime nearly akin to the feelings I get from watching horror films. It's idiotic in the end, but there's something rebellious and interesting about the might makes right fashion in which they accumulate wealth. They're self made men even if that self is composed of grime and immorality.

Dudes sounding like blog writers in here.
What, the 3-4 years you were gonna dedicate to this genre are almost up? My goodness.
You guys really don't know what we mean, there are some good vaporwave artists that really flip the source material and then there are really lazy ones that pretty much just get away with playing the source material as is because a lot of it is so obscure. I mean listen to how good the original of Kaoru Akimoto's masterpiece sounds:
Dress Down
The Vaporwave Mix
People sound like blog writers because they have strong opinions, fuck outta here with that noise, still miles better than sounding like that uninformed barbershop client in the back who always brings a 40 to the shop to watch cable because he doesn't have it at home.
This isn't quite the same since it's more like ambient or whatever, but I really liked that 2814 album you posted near the middle of the year.
I went and downloaded a handful of other nice albums from that label. It's great cyberpunk-esque stuff that you can just sink into for an hour or two.

Oh, you mean like how a lot of producers in this genre do? Well known ones, too. It's nothing you should be unfamiliar with. Trust me on this.
Now go put that in your Complex article.
It's definitely still lazy even if it sounds good, but I can tolerate it more in hip-hop since someone rapping over that beat adds more to the track than just the instrumental. A lot of vaporware is just the slowed down sample looping poorly.

"Ok now we just gonna loop this part over and over again because why the fuck not"
"like most other shallow aesthetic this isn't about the music, its about the look. Pls make sure to poorly photoshop some marble tits on a Windows 98 background."
I'm done

This FrankJavCee dude's entire channel is gold. The Trap Music and Sad Boys videos are incredible.
Alchemist has gotten a lot of flack for that actually.

ahh nice, gonna have to hit this up
ya'll really think this is what happened? im sure it affected him but how did you envision swish before, then?
Lol, that's such a tidy narrative people made up with no evidence other than a tweet that simply praised the album. I don't think he was ever gonna drop this past summer, since he's focused on other aspects of his life (family, fashion, etc). I think he's fine doing features and leaving the album on hiatus until this transition settles. The notion that Kendrick made him 'rethink what he'll do musically' is just some fanboy/hater shit.
Naw, not TPAB particularly maybe in a way. Drake too.
I think Ye is kind of having a mid life crisis here. He seems to be directionless in 2015. For sure he has his mind on a lot of things. Even in that interview Enzo just posted you can see it's family > music > fashion. He's got more on his mind than this album. I think he knows Yeezus was a decent hit but it wasn't popping like that. That doesn't seem to be an issue as it made waves and he's cool with that. At the same time he's a bit torn, he wants the club hits and attention.. but it seems he wants something to hit us emotionally/culturally. He wants to reach out to the people in a lot of ways so he's a bit scattershot it seems. Actually shit, I wonder what he thinks of Yeezus. Maybe he wants another MBDTF.
I'm glad he's putting a lot of effort into this project and I feel like he's scrapped what we knew of the album completely. Still worried about the album, but I believe in Ye. Seems to hopefully be getting rid of the Travis Scott like musical tendencies by giving him Spit on Your Grave. Nothing wrong with that, but leave it to Flame. Plus that song was trash.
i promise you aint nooooooobody worried about TPAB lmao. aint nobody trying to have an album that don't have any hits or get people talking.
breh got an album?

TPAB/Kendrick shook Yeezy if you have followed basically zero information about Ye's project thus far and you follow Top on twitter.
Ye never had a firm release or concept in mind and he's been clear about not wanting to put something out just because he can. It's not really more complex than that, besides Ye feeling he's peaked musically and he needs to take his creative energy elsewhere, which is totally understandable if you are a creative person.

What? The album is gonna go platinum and has plenty of discussion. You don't like the album but don't be ridiculous.
If that album didn't get people talking what album does? Twitter memes ≠ discussion

ride for strip club music no one remembers a month later but dump on platinum albums that get chanted at protests brehs
except Kanye last time out, i guess
The TPAB made him shitcan his album idea doesn't have any evidence to support it as far as i can see. Let's go with what we CAN see.
1) his recent singles are meh, and aint really poppin off
2) Cruel Summer, Yeezus, MBTDF were a big mess of different shit and he hasnt found the right group of writers and producers to shark
3) Busy with family / fashion industry

when making a cheeky comment goes wrong
People couldn't stop talking about Yeezus whether they liked it or not. TPAB is an afterthought by comparison.
Pretty much. Ye tryna have hits this time.

Kanye's new album will tie into the Empire Season 2 finale when it surprise releases alongside Jamal's. Jamal goes double plastic, fuckery ensues.
