I know lots of people like Jitters irl. Y'all are confused by it because you're too old to spot the rap listener demographic of Pitchfork type reading dudes that see rap albums getting BNM and then check them out because they 'listen to everything'. These cats are about 2 things; thinking something is art, and dickriding anything with a unique aesthetic. It's all about flavor of the week and whatever sounds different. I see what they're coming from because so much new shit nowadays sounds the same or rehashed or clumsily borrowed from other artists/genres, but yeah scust
I don't feel that way at all. I made fun of Shaking The Habitual for BEING arty.
YES! That is the good stuff.
I like the former better than the latter, i think most people here would disagree.
Better rapping/production cohesiveness.

Man I did not like Cities last release. I prefered the sparse style of Digital Lows over that noise influece on Black Pleasure. I still bump "Doom x Gloom" and "sixsixsixes" a lot.
But do you tolerate shit that isn't arty? Could you even sit through a Sean Price album? What about a full DMX LP? Any actual gutter southern rap album?
Naw.
Erykah.
Ditto.
Exactly.
My disliking of them has nothing to do with them not being arty. They are just lame.
Nothing arty about Ghostface or Nas and I love them.
E:Sorry for double post.

man i aint about to be too old to see some shit i didn't pay no mind to in the day neither tho
i like unique experiences too, but that's a false dichotomy there...its like dudes on gaming side that only fuck with indie shit, wanting to be in on the ground floor. don't get me wrong, i think indie shit very much has it's place & should be a part of any well rounded experience but mocking AAA or seemingly rehashed nintendo shit while celebrating 2D platofmers/shooters out the ass like they're reinventing the wheel makes no sense to me either. we still got at least a few people i spot on the regular talmbout how the top 10 games this year are all on ios...i mean, yeah okay, congrats on being that dude
you should never feel bad for preaching the gospel
i also want these things, yes

I think you would like the last Left Leberra, if you can get past the fact that the cover has titties on it.

Literally what the fuck are you talking about..... Ghostface is a Wu member, one of the most abstract and unique emcees in his use of wordplay ever. His music is very artful and one of the reasons he's always gotten indie/hipster play. Hell, this is the guy making an LP with MF DOOM.
And as for Nas, he might be a gangsta rapper but his music is chock full of pretensions toward being art, be it in having a complex rapping style or spreading a message, concept or knowledge. Hipsters and artsy people fucking love Nas and Ghostface. I thought you used Lastfm?
damn this is killing me rn
take that ether to gaming-side.
I didn't know there were Indie Video Game elitist. Thought that was just movies and music.

yes. please do
There a lot of that shit, but this is isn't it. It's like, and let me get my p4k on here, I couldn't give something like Trap God III a 10/10. Artistically, that shit just isn't novel enough to move me like that. It may even be a solid 6~7. I don't write it off, but Gucci's not fucking with any boundaries. Shit gets me hype, but he's not raising bars.
Something like Yeezus that melds genres is totally open to that 10, though. I don't think it is that 10, but it does something with the time in the LP that a lot of other hip-hop artists just aren't fucking with.

I think Antwon handles the noiser style beats better (a bit of that was on Dark Denim). Always feel like we never talk about Antwon enough in here. He's a very likeable dude haha.

Hey Jitters, what kinda music was/is your significant other/s into?
It all depends. I love some indie shit, but a lot of Indie stuff is just cheap feeling throwback 2d boring shit (kind of like 99% of bandcamp boom bap borefests).
AAA gaming is truly shit right now though, that's why i'm enjoying smaller projects and stuff from foreign countries more now.

Still waiting for that Antwon x Shawn Kemp project
WAS into a lot of pop. What a weird question.

yeah i think the smaller titles are doing really good things with horror and unconventional art design, but i was unfortunate to play a shitty wannabe-retro 2d game like you mentioned.
i heard kentucky route zero is dope, might get that soon.

ya'll saw how they did clovingsteam? i'm good
man if more than 2 people do anything ever n the same time period, there's elitism. by like one tenth of GAF OT that knows of our existence, we're it, by the way
esha's clearly better at these examples, but for years i thought it was obvious Jay brought nothing new to the table...his style was nice and his beats of course were often very high tier, but he ain't sayin nothing new, just with a flow that rode a beat and worked for radio, clubs, hip-hop heads etc.
the fuckin' matrix took gun-fu, eastern philosophy, joeseph cambpell's hero quest, s&m leather and a few other things, amalgamed em together and everyone called it new shit. which is perfectly fine; i think anyone who follows/knows jazz understands taking preexisting things and making them your own. at this point i think the only people who hold onto this platonic idea of the perfect unique thing are pretty much exactly who esha was talking about, the kinda online scenesters and shit. i get what they're after too, but they miss all the shit in between by limiting the fuck out of their search criteria. anyway.
the doomtree tagline of gaming side
man, that game, for $3 or whatever...it was what it was, but you can't take SNES JRPG maker 3.0, find some piano midi's and use the throwaway script from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and expect me to clap and get misty 4 hours later. you wanna hit me in the balls like that, just loop those sarah mclaghlan commercials about abused dogs or some shit.
ps YES hotline miami 2.0 is at the top of that scene for me, Shiniobi is still the man for bringing that shit into my life last christmas

What's everyone's final form? I identify a lot with the transformation of Magikarp into Gyarados.

This is such an amazing picture. Thank you for sharing. Some animals are just so majestic. Can never understand how some humans can just kill animals indiscriminately.
