like i thought he was mixed
Club 27 Goals
actually looking at more pictures now, it's kinda hard to tell. Like he looks totally white in the pictures I saw on last.fm, but yeah I'm not sure now.
red chamber dream
yeah i'd bet he's mixed, lots of mixed people look white-ish in pictures and stuff

<3 mixed people
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Going from to

The fabled Judy Garland to Childish Gambino transition cause I'm a fuckin boss. Later fools!

dude what, since when did you listen to Childish Gambino?
red chamber dream
he mentions him all the time lol

i should make a hip hop thread on gamelogs so we can just post all the good stuff we find there
red chamber dream
for some reason it's all i'm listening to these days
Almost happy
I've tried to start listening to Hip-Hop like 4 different times, but I never end up "getting it". There's about 5% of really good stuff that I like and the rest is just... meh.

He just has a crush on Donald Glover (completely justified, I should ad).
red chamber dream
do you want me to recommend you some good stuff to start with? i used to feel like that too
Almost happy
Well it couldn't hurt at least. Although I should say I listened to those Wiz Kalifa songs you posted and I did not like that at all, so anything along those lines is pretty much out the window, I feel.

really? weird. This morning I was looking through my torrents and saw I had downloaded that whole album, then I come on here and tbob posted one of them. Either a big coincidence, or it was tbob that recommended them or something. was probably drunk and I don't remember, idunno.

I dunno, it sampled a really sweet piano tune but the song didn't really get anywhere.

Really, my biggest problem with hip-hop is that I don't tend to focus on the lyrics until I've heard a song multiple times already because I'm generally much more interested in the melody. And the majority of all Hip-Hop (that I've heard anyway) is very centered on lyrics while the melody is usually simple and repetitive, so I get bored too quickly to ever get in to the lyrics. And, tellingly, much of the Hip-Hop I actually do like is the kind with more interesting melodies. For example, B.O.B



EDIT: Also, by "melody" I don't exclude vocals.

Bitch I've been down with the Gambino since he released a free EP that I can't find anymore a few years ago. aiwebs_008

Think it was Idk that first brought him up over here, I actually didn't know about Camp until he started posting songs from it here.

This is true though. He is a magical man.

Actually I'm totally the same way. What they do with their voice plays a huge role for me on top of the beat. Have you listened to Cudi's pursuit of happiness? Make sure to listen to the whole thing, has some really good Ratatat bits.

On my phone but I'll link you some good stuff when I get home, since I'm sure Ark will post different things than what I have in mind.

right - i'll post good stuff. ;)


currently trying to put together a top 20 of all time list ... going to be impossible
Almost happy
I'm the kind of guy who wants to make lists of everything, but can't make lists of anything. I think the biggest list I could make and be fairly certain about is favorite music artists, and that would be a top 4. Anything beyond that and I'm completely lost.
red chamber dream
yeah i'm thinking about expanding it to 30 because there's no way i can just pick 20. also don't think i really put them in order beyond maybe the top 3

red chamber dream
it's much easier with video games and even movies to some extent

also kind of weird that even though i really like metal i think there's only one metal album i'd even consider putting in my top 20
Almost happy
Music is really hard because you can't judge it as quickly as videogame and movies. I mean you can change opinion over time about those too but with music that's pretty much a rule rather than an exception for me. If I made a top 10-20 albums list it would contain almost solely of stuff that I though was "good" at best the first time I listened, and some stuff I didn't care for at all.
red chamber dream
yeah i tend to prefer making constrained lists which are more meaningful to pretty much everyone, such as a list of my favorite records of the 90s, which i've been meaning to put together as well
Almost happy
I have so much stuff left to listen to from the 90's. But it's really hard to dive in, and I have like 100 albums from the 60's, 70's and 00's I need to listen to as well. There's too much good music.
red chamber dream
ok as far as getting into hip hop goes try these albums in this order:

kid cudi - man on the moon: the end of day
lupe fiasco - food & liquor
snoop dogg - doggystyle
digital underground - sex packets
red chamber dream
might also try kanye west's graduation, or one of his earlier albums ... i'm not the biggest fan of his but pretty much everyone i know fucking loves like all his stuff. a couple of his songs are among my all-time favs though.
Club 27 Goals
I'd suggest Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy before his Graduation album, but yeah Cudi's Man on the Moon album is A+.
