Video Description:
It's a catchy song with a great beat, among other things...
Generated Summary:
Main Topic: Tim Dillon reacts to Kanye West's new song, focusing on the controversial "Hile Hitler" lyric in the chorus.
Key Points:
- Catchiness vs. Controversy: Dillon acknowledges the song's catchiness and artistic video but recognizes the controversy surrounding the "Hile Hitler" lyric. He admits to listening to the song repeatedly despite the controversial chorus.
- Dillon's Mother's Quote: He humorously recalls his mother's twisted version of "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all," replacing it with "If you don't have something nice to say, hyle Hitler."
- Deeper Meaning & Symbolism: Dillon suggests looking beyond the surface level and considering the potential deeper meaning or symbolism behind
It’s not like that wasn’t a thing already for the longest time - studio music basically - they just added those animated videos.
Oh, do you have any bands or groups you would recommend to us?
Girls and Boys
Great song!
Blur - Girls And Boys (Official Music Video) [04:13 | Rock, England, In English, Synth-Pop, Dance Rock, Alternative Rock, British Rock, New Wave (Rock), Alternative Dance, Britpop UK | https://youtu.be/WDswiT87oo8]
Peaking at #5 in the UK charts and considered a comeback hit in its day after poor sales of Blur’s second album Modern Life Is Rubbish. It was named song of the year 1994 by NME and Melody Maker magazines.
The single’s cover art was taken from a condom wrapper, reflecting the song’s focus on sexual promiscuity on summer holidays in Europe. The music has a convergence of various pop and dance styles, summed up by bassist Alex James as “Disco drums, nasty guitars and Duran Duran bass", with the first being done by a drum machine.^[[1] https://genius.com/Blur-girls-and-boys-lyrics]

I have a revelation for you
Reminds me of this meme about modern title inflation:
Whatever he's in, it's all great. Check out Springtime and Tropical Fuck Storm
@zecg Holy crap, great tune. He’s like Shane MacGowan on steroids.
This is how he should always be introduced.
Electronic music legend Brian Eno. You might remember him as the composer of the Windows 95 chime.
Maxwell Jonas Pelta was a tremendous talent and gentle spirit who passed away on Jan. 6, 2006. Born on Oct. 7, 1986, in San Francisco, CA, he grew up in Piedmont, CA. He loved the music of Elliot Smith, Sublime, and Nirvana. He was largely self-taught on guitar and bass. These 11 songs and this set of 3 promo photos are what remains of an impressive body of work of this 19-year old artist. These songs were recorded between 2001 and 2005 at his friend Neil's house, at a dorm-room studio at the Heritage School in Provo, UT, and at Frogville Records in Santa Fe. Anything more that could be said about Max's life or spirit or the tremendous challenges he faced is contained in these songs.
All Proceeds from the sale of these tracks benefit Ambassadors of Hope and Opportunity, a Mill Valley, CA-based non-profit that helps at-risk and homeless youth with access to healthcare, shelter, and employment.
Psb remix utterly tore up the charts in AU back in the day.
It was not the version that was purchasable on cassingle at the time. I was pretty ropeable, but it did introduce me to magpie, so still a win
Such a solid band with a solid discography... I wish I got to see them live... But I hear they're not super great live? Dunno, I'd like to see them anyway
Limp Bizkit are a great band when you remove the vocals

Lyrics, Archive Link: https://archive.is/KirPC
Sampling “Inner City Blues” by Marvin Gaye, Game dives right into the 1992 L.A. riots, using them as the backbone for the track, before adding an autobiographical spin in the third verse.
The “savage” motif signifies the environment Game grew up in, and the difficulties he faced as a teenager surrounded by violence.^[[1] https://genius.com/The-game-savage-lifestyle-lyrics]

Another song on the topic of the 1992 LA riots, Savage Lifestyle by The Game. Almost cinematic.
Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) (Official Video)
Archive Link: https://archive.is/iPk4T
“They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)” is the lead single from Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s debut album Mecca and the Soul Brother. The song pays tribute to their friend Troy “Trouble T-Roy” Dixon, who was a back-up dancer for Heavy D & The Boyz when he died after an accidental fall following a show in 1990. He was 22 years old.
In a 2010 interview with XXL magazine commemorating the 20 year anniversary of Trouble T-Roy’s passing, CL Smooth talked about his process for writing the song:
"I wrote ’T.R.O.Y.‘ in '92 […] It had been in my head but I just couldn’t put it together and [one day] I wrote it right there in the studio and just recorded it. […] It just took me about an hour to write it, it was the last record [for the Mecca and the Soul Brother album]. […] My whole plight was to make the best record possible for people to like, for people to respect and know it’s genuine."
In a 2011 interview with Complex, Pete Rock talked about the creation
Sublime - April 29, 1992 (Rodney King riots)
Archive Link: https://archive.is/pu55N
April 29, 1992 was the day that riots formed in Los Angeles after 4 LAPD officers were acquitted for use of excessive force on Rodney King. The song takes place on the day of the riots — Bradley claims he participated, though the extent to which he did is disputed. Ultimately the song is not just about the day of April 29 but also the overall state of the country and our relationship with police.^[[1] https://genius.com/Sublime-april-29-1992-miami-lyrics]
Jobseeker - Sleaford Mods
Archive Link: https://archive.is/HKQyR
“Jobseeker” is a 2007 track by Sleaford Mods from the second album “The Mekon”. (it would later in a redone on a limited vinyl release in 2013)
The original track originally sampled The Yardbirds track “For Your Love” and had slightly altered, more aggressive lyrics.
It remains to be the only old SM song to be “redone” since Andrew Fearne joined the band in 2009.

KNEECAP - Get Your Brits Out (Official Audio)
Archive Link: https://archive.is/f2xFY
“Get Your Brits Out” is a tune about a hypothetical night out with Kneecap and the DUP in Thompson’s.
“Brits Out” is a common phrase in the republican movement referring to the end of British dominion and claims to any part of Ireland.
Móglaí Bap and Mo Chara have played on this phrase and have used the other meaning for out: as in, “going on a night out”, the “brits” referring to the DUP.^[[1] https://genius.com/Kneecap-get-your-brits-out-lyrics]
Fair enough, yeah we must be using different definitions lol. To me corny is nothing but an insult.
Oh Plies is basically my definition of a corny motherfucker, he's terrible. My favorite he does is a song called Bruh bruh that ends every line with "bruh bruh." (Sidenote, album was called "Goon Affiliated" before gooning existed, but still, goddamn that's funny.) Mrs. Pretty Pussy (the song I quoted earlier) is also just as bad, doubly so because the singing itself is almost cornier than the lyrics.
To me, wordsmiths like Aesop and DOOM, and even El-P and Killer Mike (though tbh I like Company Flow more than RTJ), are the farthest from corny one can get.
the cloying autotuned voice that might as well be AI-generated for how synthetic it sounds
It's subjective. What do you think of this chop?
I never really listened to Kanye, but I have to imagine it wasn’t always this vomit inducing, right?

Always has been.
I started with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy because I loved the King Crimson sample flip.
Jesus fucking christ that was an awful use of a great song. The way he forced it to be autoplayed in a mission for Saints Row was a crime against art.
He's literally no DOOM.
Now DOOM could take leftovers and turn them into 3 star dining.
I started with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy because I loved the King Crimson sample flip. Then I went to the beginning and listened in order from there. I loved Yeezus' sound when it came out (still so). Daft Punk produced 4 tracks on it.
Also, that's really cool. I'd love more info about your time the company. What kind of gear, anything.
He made it as a producer first and that's where he was always most interesting. Even his early albums that I love had corny bars. But the beats and vision were great for a solid run of albums. Initially success gave him the ability to put the right people in the studio.
But cracks were already showing a decade ago and now it's laughable.
Edit: if you're really interested watch this. It's three years old and it's gotten worse since then (but he's made follow-ups).
It's a deep dive but there's a lot there
Edit2: I didn't even listen to it because he's been using ai voice clones of his voice on his writers / collaborators demos. It's weird. He thinks it's the same as autotune but it's not.
I think New Slaves is genius. Same with Runaway and All of the Lights.
He was never a great lyricist (“I keep it 300, like the Romans”) but he had a way of getting the right people together and just making it all work. There was always the narcissism (“I am a god”) and some unhinged stuff, but he was honest to god a once in a lifetime talent.
Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus - these are all absolutely spectacular albums.
it may not be what we want
Kanye brought the production and the energy but his rapping was never where he shined. For my money MIKE is bringing real rap back.

Punk song from an old poem
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/64212071
So, inspired by this post from a couple of days ago, I made a punk song out of the poem! Since the poem is so old, and almost certainly in the public domain (I did some research, couldn't find much about it), I decided to release the song for free! You can download it out now! Or just listen to it, if permanence isn't your thing lol
Anyways, I had a lot of fun making it, so I hope you have a lot of fun hearing it! Enjoy!
