>>8539 MF DOOM There are 3 parts for me in appreciating a hip hop artist 1. Musical themes and Aesthetic 2. Lyrical themes and Aesthetic 3. Overall visual aesthetic (production, sample choice etc) In addition there is impressionability. The music most people like best is the one they are exposed to between 14-18. Because at that age your mind is impressionable. Beyond that your capacity to like new music becomes limited, you cannot appreciate it with the same depth that younger you could. ## On Impressionability I fell in love with Eminems Brain Damage (see attachment) because I was bullied daily in my school years. Physical violence was a daily part of our lives, my head was bashed in daily and teachers were a part of it. So it felt relatable. But even something like Baba seghal felt amazing, because it was the only hip hop cassette at the time amd feeling mogged at a rich hotel was a common experience at the time. The point of these sentences is, I was impressionable and something relatable felt deep because of it. In that same vein, I grew up with comic books, with colorful villains in movies (picrel - Shaan villain). Victor Von Doom was amongst the most interesting villains too. He had his own country at one point, somewhere near tibet if I remember. Given this background, I am not impressionable enough to get into MF Doom, but I am for sure very intrigued by his influences. 1. Musical themes and aesthetic - Given my love of villains and old movies/shows with a flair for the dramatic, I naturally love the MF Doom aesthetic. Simple example https://youtu.be/gSJeHDlhYls 2. Lyrical themes and aesthetic - Mad Villainy is my fav album, this doesn't mean others are not as good, I am not as familiar with them. I can skip the lyrics, I don't relate that much to American culture or references, but the choice of old school funk and soul , even international vintage music, is just a treat for me. If they released his albums without the vocals, I would buy that too. Opening of

>>8553 There is lot of hip hop I want to enjoy, some of it is really good. Deep, thoughtful and tasteful. Most of it is cheap, chapri and sadak chap. You can relate to it as a teenager, all the struggling tracks. I heard some modern Indian hip hop, it was such chapri pointless crap. This is true for all music though. Musicians are mostly dumb, not well read, mentally slow and don't really think too much. Prog metal bands, make nonsensical pretentious names like Quantum dot hack (Sorry Vishal, but your album lyrics and titles are meaningless garbage). And people with half/no iq suck it all up.

https://youtu.be/nyn6NsSb-bg This song is very iconic. I first heard it when visiting a linux users group in a collage. >>8605 Did you make this ?

>>8609 no fellow anonymoose

>>8612 This is pretty good with all the signature japanese chords. The mix is better too. But Japanese mix's have murder treble on them. Also the tight bass. >>8613 Comfy 8bit vibes.

2 mins silence for the revered headphone jack ................................................................................................... I am happy with the Khadas tea, but its battery is not replaceable. Fiio launched a new one that seems almost perfect. https://www.fiio.com/retronano Regarding mounting, just thin sticker magnets are really good. I don't need it for now, so I won't. But my next upgrade will be a dac like this and magnets to attach it to be back of my phone. The styling is too colorful for my taste. But I don't really care at this point. Support for inline controls is just too good.

>>8625 >This is pretty good with all the signature japanese chords. The mix is better too. But Japanese mix's have murder treble on them. Also the tight bass. I have no clue what any of that means but i guess you liked it

>>8705 It is. I liked it. If you care, Japanese people play the same chords as westerners with very different fingerings , giving their harmony a very different sound when playing the same thing as a westerner. Love the weird combo on this track you shared.

They are from the new york school of dissonant extreme metal, having inspired Colin and many other elders of the genre. But they never got the recognition they deserve for always being too extreme. With time, their tones are not the most dissonant and neither is the presentation. But the compositions are still quiet original, not just being dissonant for the sake of being dissonant, but actually having a musical plot throughout the album and the tracks that even the most untrained ears can pickup on.

If you buy audio equipment like headphones or Digital Audio Players in Japan, they all have higher treble than ones sold elsewhere. Japanese people seem to prefer higher treble. This means the bass is usually tamed because increased both bass and treble together is recipe for ear rape. But this means that recordings made for Japanese audience, versus the ones for international audience are mastered differently. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/treble-bass-balance-in-japanese.14963/ Not that anyone cares, but I thought someone might find it interesting. This is part of the reason that Japanese music has a unique sonic profile. https://youtu.be/lln2NPx3aKw Live recording so the treble is in control

Will post concert footage. Incantation was good, not a Decapitated fan past Winds of Creation.

>>8773 WTF NO! My reply is lost ! FINE. short version Though I booked concert tickets, but this year onwards will be spending a lot less on big concerts. Chamber music is my thing and I crave more personal performances. >>8747 You should try elephant gym. >>8745 I don't remember this song in the game.

>>8753 shooting in the dark here but I am quiet unaware of the Jap composer space. Mainly due to language limitations. If you have any videos of blogs or better still, links to the creators pages, please do share. Example - https://youtu.be/Ta-pjQ8BLXs

>>8816 Been through that. Uploaded bunch of images for a lecture I attended on spirituality and shit never uploaded. I think there's some problem with multiple media

>>8825 majority of the music i listen to is vocaloid stuff anonymoose i will share some vocaloid channels when i am see next post will have the link to the creator i used to listen to a long time ago

Came across this yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWCi9FaDH24 Raag bahar. Pardon, if it sounds too Muslim that's because it is. Composed by someone called Amir khusro some centuries ago or something. I like it because it sounds nice.

>>8856 Love eve's songs Currently enjoying this one : https://youtu.be/U7L-3VXAkSA?si=bubz-rUbSqG_9Z5N

>>7917 I listened to Future Days recently and it has to be some of the best albums ever made, along with KC's 'Red'

>>8866 nice anonymoose >>8855 https://www.youtube.com/@officialnayutalien1318

I don't care about Dranke vs Lamar, but it is nice to see musicians battling and young people caring about it. It was not unusual for Gamath musicians to battle over ideas or as later it was called, Shayari. In south, it there was a similar culture of musical battles, but is only practiced in smaller towns and University campus's, mainly academics attending it. There are hardly new arguments. Just old ideas rehashed, trying to capture the magic of the original. Indian hip hop artists have nothing interesting to say. Which is the main tragedy. People with a mic and talent, with nothing important to say.

>>9173 Based but Idk if I wrote this or is it someone else's post. Whole rant is written in one paragraph instead of bite sizes so it might not be me. And no unrelated shitpost with post
