Patrick R Posted November 20, 2013 Kanye is maybe the most interesting artist working in pop music today, but he's never been all that great a rapper. Don't know what "makes rap feel authentic with his skill as a producer/mixer" means, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted November 20, 2013 Kanye is maybe the most interesting artist working in pop music today, but he's never been all that great a rapper. Don't know what "makes rap feel authentic with his skill as a producer/mixer" means, though. The way he mixes on the tracks maintains a distinct separateness which I associate with lo-fi, but everything still has clear, sonic-emphasis (which I associate with commercially successful pop). So I'm getting the best of the lo-fi style (which I associate with authenticity) and the high-fi style (technical craftsmanship). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) I can't believe how hated Nicki Minaj is. My first contact with her was from hearing her bit in Kanye West's Monster, which is easily the best part of that album. I tried looking her up but didn't find much I liked. But she is reviled and online her reputation is the epitome of a produced, talentless musician. From that bit in Monster, though, she should be fucking great. Listening to that Kanye video now, the fucker rhymes 'reputation' with 'reputation' four times in a row. Edited November 23, 2013 by brkl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted November 23, 2013 Nicki Minaj is a great rapper (honestly) but she gets no credit because 1. sexism stuff but more importantly 2. half the songs on any given Nicki Minaj album are just Radio Disney Katy Perry type stuff (which, I have to admit, I often like quite a bit). If she fully committed to her crazy, she'd be twice as popular but maybe a tenth as rich. Listen to Roman Holiday, Roman's Revenge, Hov Lane, Stupid Hoe, Come On A Cone and I Am Your Leader.

melmer Posted December 6, 2013 I'm seeing the darkness in a few hours Your jealousy level should scale with you intoxication level Holy shit that's a long set http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-darkness/2013/53-degrees-preston-england-73c422f9.html I've got half an hour to listen to some of their new songs :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted December 6, 2013 So, since I have a new job, and will have Christmas Day both off work and completely alone in my apartment, I am thinking I will possibly get intoxicated and play video games all day.This leads to the obvious question... what should I drink? Anyone have some good recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted December 6, 2013 Chimay. It's not like normal beer. Its a different kind of high. Don't drink any other alcohol with it so that you get its pure effect. It's expensive though. My hypothesis is that monks developed it in the direction of a lubrication for spiritual experiences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted December 6, 2013 Chimay is excellent. Grimbergen tripel is pretty nice too. There's lots of choice, it depends on what you have available really.The best thing you could do is find a nice independent specialist wine and beer merchant in your locality and seek the owner's recommendations.Edit: it's possible that this may be of some use - beerhunter.ca(also drinkresponsibly.com and 1pintofwaterperpintofbeer.co.uk etc.) ((if you could set up a twitch stream then we could all stop by and wish you a merry Christmas)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nachimir Posted December 7, 2013 what should I drink? Anyone have some good recommendations? Kraken spiced rum, which I am rather pissed on right now. I just played Spelunky on vita expecting nothing more than spikes on 1-1, and got to the temple for the first time, after aggroing shopkeepers and successfully cleaning out the back market. I should probably be this drunk all the time* *no Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 7, 2013 This leads to the obvious question... what should I drink? Anyone have some good recommendations? Do a "Nick Brekcon": drink whisky while playing strategy games. But you don't have to go for bourbon, any whisky is allowed. I like the Oban 14 and Balvenie Double Wood. What whiskey you like it really personal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ucantalas Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas!Today I shall partake in the bottle of Jägermeister in my freezer while playing Borderlands 2. ...and eventually Pokemon Y, I just think shooters lend themselves to drinking better than RPGs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaronofthe Posted January 1, 2014 Hi there. New Castle, New Years Eve.. Assassins Creed III, post game beating missions/objectives. Maybe some duck tales. meep. May be updating this post throughout the evening. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL! [edit 1] Bought a wii U about a month ago.. feel like I should have maybe bought a 3ds.. still some RPG goodness coming in the next year.. yay! [edit 2] mmmm, pancakes. [edit 3] hmm.. alcohol acts fast.. entertainment becomes not quite as interesting just as fast.. goonies playing in the background... hmm [edit 4] Obnoxious neighbors totally ruined my evening.. Some stella Artois coming.. maybe time to switch to duck tales.. only problem is that I'm at the end and I don't fancy playing the same five minutes over and over until I beat it.. hmm [edit 5] tend to eat too much when drunk. Just spilled entire bag of Microwave popcorn on floor. #inebriation_diet_plan Happy New Year! (again) [edit 5-b] every forum should have an 'intoxicated' thread. [edit 6] Connor appears to be as drunk as I am. Norah Jones bussin' the nu-jazz (st. germain des pres cafe vol. 5) on the stereo. Hope I make it to midnight. o.O [edit 7] pornography and 'High Fidelity'.. I should be doing something else with my life. o.O [edit 8] Get your patchouli stank out of my store! (possibly the greatest movie ever.. I've got to read the book one of these days..) [edit 9] Okay, end of post. Intoxication going away.. Finishing High Fidelity, then When Harry Met Sally (apparently best new years movie), then sleep. He y0, good evening peeps.
