The A1chemy Index Vol. 5: Dan should not have the ability to change this thread title • Page 1049

I just don't really dig "punchlines" in lyrics haha. You may disagree with this but to me that's the same shit Pete Wentz used to do with Fall Out Boy, totally stylistically different but the level of depth is the same. Super-obvious double entendres and purposely self-contradicting sentences and shit. That's not high level lyricism to me. It's trying too hard to sound "clever".

 

I admire the audacity of him sampling Day-O and that other one where he samples Help

 

Not that I am a great lyricist, nor do most of the artists i listen to have "great lyrics", I'm not an authority on the subject. @CarpetElf is much better at lyrical analysis and writing than me. It's just my humble opinion / preference.

but I place an emphasis on that in hip hop, especially since there are so many rappers that are WAY better at lyrics and messages than Wayne haha

 

finished everything up for my new book today. feels so good to finally be done. should be out within the week

shout-out to @Garrett L. for editing it and providing wonderful cover art as well

 

see I feel like there's a separate tier for like Busta/Luda and Wayne which are fun rap versus like say more socially conscious rap, but I get that not anyone is able to do that with listening to music

 

looks like @Randall Mentzos doesnt fly go hard like geese erection

 

^^^ also this

 

Honored as always

 

LOL see you can't blame me for thinking shit like that is just fuckin corny though lollll

 

This is true, and the way I respond to this is Busta and Luda had aesthetics that appeal to me more than Lil Wayne's shrimpy ass voice and annoying instrumentals

I like the music AND the vocal timbre better in the case of Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, etc. other large acts from the early 2000s who were more in the vein of "fun rap"

 

prime lil wayne was amazing and I’ll have no slander about it

 

the last dedication tapes were dope

 

Got a beer and watched Captain Marvel on the plane, now just landed in San Francisco already a good day really.

 

Oh I get it y'all tagged @Shrek because his name is Cam not because he's a big fan of the movie (which I liked a lot)

 

Drinking at a brewery with my SO, It’s a good day

 

damn you really doing Pride right

 

Listened to Rex Orange County and honestly he slaps

 

Eggs are a savior when you're running out of groceries.

I just had a fried egg sandwich and I'm also boiling a couple to make tuna salad.
Don't cringe, my tuna salad is excellent. I don't make that white people shit that's half mayonnaise.

 

Hahahaha my sister lives here but I swear 90% of the people on this plane are queer and making the mecca

 

I couldn't imagine having a mannequin / prop of myself that is just too weird

 

That ride is LIT

 

Enjoy the unusually warm weather!

 

Same. I need to put it in a lockbox and throw the key.
