The only difference with me is I dont watch TWD and then incessantly bitch about it every episode. I dont get these dudes who watch shit and then complain about it for years potentially. Just stop watching. Everyone has their own little perception of what the walking dead should be; more drama more action more characters more philosophy yadda yadda. They kinda dont get that the reason the show is so fucking popular is the breadth, obviously the depth is terrible. I binge watched it all of netflix this year and that really changes perception of how bad the pacing is though. its still fun to watch occasionally. Pretty kuch everything about the show is tops except the writing and pacing which are pretty much public television The CW tier. Actually no, even Arrow is better.

Mad Men kinda makes the white guilt come out a bit. Like, damn it must have been awesome to live in those days!
Oh, well, except for you know...everybody else.
Every time a Mad Men episode airs, the ACLU gets a donation increase.
Yeah. Years later and that shit still sticks with me.

Haha, right? Shit seems so backwards. I tried watching that show and just couldn't get into it at all.
Hahaha I was gonna say the same thing. A woman who appreciates quik? Sounds perfect.
And I have zero love for mad men. I tried to watch it but couldn't get through the first season. So dull, and a cast of characters I hated.

Question: Is there any good iOS app for streaming new stuff similar to audiomack or datpiff?
Can't wait for Q to tweet that the album was pushed back in February.

same here. I wonder what's going to happen next...
DD: Can you stand back and objectively look at the impact of your music in a wider historical context?
Madlib: Thats for other people to do. I have no idea; well find out later. I hope so, thats what I meant to do. Thats how you live forever, but time will tell. Maybe Ill get lost in the shuffle too, you never know.
DD: You once said that youve only released 30% of the music youd made. How much of the remaining 70% of music is actually worth releasing?
Madlib: Oh, a lot of it. I think if I recorded it down and left it on tape then, yeah. Its not for everybody to get. Ten people are going to like that one and not that one. Thats how its supposed to be.
DD: Do you rely on anyone else to be a quality controller?
Madlib: Its up to me. Otherwise I wont do it. It has to be my way
DD: Would you call yourself a control freak?
Madlib: Yeah I know what I do. The person listening cant tell me what I thought. I know what I was thinking when I did it so you cant really tell me to take this out or do this or that. Nobody can tell me anything about my music. I do it for my health, to listen to something, you know. Even if it doesnt come out, I dont care if none of the records come out. I do it for myself. But luckily some people like it.
DD: You and DOOM just played on the same bill in Manchester. Will you release the sequel to Madvillainy in time for its tenth birthday?
Madlib: Im about to go see him right after this and figure that out. Im not forcing him to do it. He doesnt even have to do it; I just want to know where we are at with it because we recorded like, 10, 13 songs, but out of those we probably only used 4, so I want to see how the recordings are going. Its not close to finished because it has to be a continuation of the last one. It doesnt have to be better or worse but it has to be a continuation.
DD: You made Madvillainy in the same period as Champion Sound with Dilla. How do you look back on that era?
Madlib: That was the favourite time of my life. We were just musical cousins there wasnt a whole lot of talking going on because we already thought the same. Just a whole lot of handshaking and eye contact. When Dilla was healthy it was crazy. When he moved to LA we hung out every week, went to clubs, acted crazy, got drunk. I think about him all the time. I always bump his music.
DD: Hes got a lot of unreleased work that may never see the light of day.
Madlib: Well, it seems like theyre still putting things out. Sometimes the way he would want it and in some ways he wouldnt want it.
DD: Sorry to go a bit dark, but when you die whats going to happen to all of your unreleased music?
Madlib: I'm gonna burn it down before I die, a little Lee Perry action. Aint nobody exploiting my shit. If I was dying in hospital Id tell my son to go and burn it. Dont think Im going to get exploited like theyre doing to Dilla. Im learning from how hes being treated from some people.

He's right. Another Detroit dj/dance music producer was saying the same shit. There is a Joey Badass x J Dilla song that was approved by the Dilla estate man. That's some seven circles of hell type bullshit. Someone has to die for that.
“[Dilla] needs to be de-mystified. When you build someone into this quasi-holy figure you separate them from yourself and that’s not what I want to do. I want people to be inspired.”

This is just disappointing. JC just needs to step his shit up. You had an explosive entrance to the big stage and everything then has been meh-to-okay since. Pretty much have to agree with this on the issue. Cut the bullshit.
It's been a super slow burn, but The Night's Gambit is finally growing on me. I've always appreciated charisma on the mic more than pure lyricism, but Ka's more subdued flow works considering the themes he likes to explore. 30 Pieces of Silver has to be one of the hardest tracks of 2013.

Marci Beaucoup is dope but I prefer Reloaded. Some of the guest verses feel wasted. Maffew's track is meh, probably the only song I dislike on the album. Also Freeway's verse on the album is straight up bad.

Anyone from gaf hop going to coachella this year?
Damn, the n bomb drops in this.. :dead:. I agree though. Theres a big debate on the merits on this battle and it's wack. I don't care that Tay Roc was gettin gassed up by the crowd. That's obvious. The facts is, JC came with recycled bars and you know what, I wouldn't care too much about that but the actual content is super generic. JC says a lot of dope shit but he needs to step up other aspects and expand a little. URL is full of dudes talking the gun shit.
BTW, don't watch DNA vs. Calicoe. It's fucking trash.
