i really don't love the anti punch-in trend
equating it to rap inability misses the point
there's an art to the obvious punch-in
it allows you to play with time as you can write over the bar or meter and thru recording tech, you get this unique moment

Chicago "Chiraq" stuff became the Dipset of the early '10's with the most suburban white kids playing safari via Magademiks

the sample hunters are out here and bringing the cops to the independent artists
regardless of intention, any attention toward a song with a sample should be preceded w artist consent (at least in press) bc this happens
we r already dealing w whosampled n comments on snitch time
Just got an official cease and desist for a sample from something I sampled years ago, spooky out here be safe

what i really love about certain contemporary type rap forms like drill is the focus on saying just enough
an exercise in concision versus hyper dressed up wordplay - tho plenty of language to dissect as it’s more like listening to everyday speak w/ specific slang+politics+gems

plus lets be real, this isnt about 30+ year olds and their stunted puritanical opinions on “real hip hop”
this coi/busta song w the same loop as... is prob how MANY of her fans are hearing “7 Minutes of Funk” for the first time
aka sampling is a gateway to many a sonic lineage
I understand feeling like this is the latest in a lazy remake trend but I also remember when "Ain't No.." came out and I said "hey that's the Alkaholiks beat," and when the Alkaholiks record came out and I said "hey that's the EPMD beat," so I can only be but so mad

i just heard a WKCR presentation on ATCQ:
-refer to them as "jazz rap"
-"Three Six Mafia from Atlanta"
-Tip's regional shouts on 1991's "Vibes and Stuff" calling for unity amidst the "beef in hip hop" and East & West animus
plus other things that made my head spin

Read this if you make music
& again if you read music press
tbh my work usually does not appear on any eoty lists, including what i dead know is a big personal/collective feat, SHOOK WORLD
ngl it be a mix of emotions depending on the day but i sleep knowing wtf i/we did, always
your work is your work
know that if your work doesn't appear on end of the year lists you're most likely doing the right thing
these lists come and go. the work you make continues to resonate infinitely. their taste is fickle and limited
thank u for making your music/art

after riding anger+adrenaline this am, its tapered off to full gratitude

i've learned a lot in that time

music/art to me is a radical expression, my own music must never lack a stated politic
while we intended to make this free sound/space offering in alignment with the global strike for Palestinian liberation, after much dialogue, taking the day to be still in solidarity felt clear
