WAIT, I JUST LEARNED SOMETHING LIFE-CHANGING.

APPARENTLY "LONG TIME" OFF OF "DIE LIT" WAS NOT A PIERRE PRODUCTION.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

lol, the actual producer's name is ungoogleable ("Art Dealer") or he just hasn't made much music. seems like he's more of a Designer/Creative Director.

Designer and Producer. Not only is he affiliated with Playboi carti he is affiliated with Asap Bari as well as Skoloct. He has designed Playboi Carti’s tour merchandise as well.

probably made a beat for fun and it was used.

Bruh, this guy fucked around and made one of the 10 best songs of the year.

I'm not even kidding, I think "Long Time" is a top 5 song of 2018, and this guy did it on a lark??? 2019 will be the year of Art Dealer. I've spoken it into the world, and it will come true.

I still think intro of the year goes to Meek.
Coming from a huge Playboi fan

I like the use of Phil Collins, but the intro just doesn't hit me the same way those synths on "Long Time" do. I've said it before, but they're so atmospheric and remind me of early 0PN.

 

[GJ]

If You Know You Know by Pusha T is my favorite intro of the year. As soon as the beat kicked in I knew this album was going to bang. I love it.



Skins out now btw.

 

[VWdrewz]

You probably like more technical Rap with fast rapping and more lyrical? Maybe you'll like Joyner Lucas who's technical like Em, Tech 9ine, but on more modern beats:

If you like more oldschool beats, then others have to help you since I don't listen to that kind of Rap anymore.

Damn dude that first track is spot on. Will check this guy out. Thanks heaps. If anything similar comes to mind let me know, hopefully spotify has some decent recommendations I can check out as well.

 

[lacer]

lol that Kanye/X song is really something. a highlight of how X's faux-deep posturing did such a bad job veiling the meathead dipshittery lurking right below the surface

 

[Mamoniadas]

I use a family itunes account but man everyone seems to use spotify. Makes me a bit envious

 

[see5harp]

Kinda ridiculous that dude from The 1975 had to apologize for saying that shit about misogyny in hip hop. I swear that thread has popped up on this site multiple times now.

 

[OG Kush]

Carti's long time appears in my Spotify roundup playlist of the year and yep it reminded me how nice that beat is.

 

[CaptainBojanglesIII]

If You Know You Know is the most hype opening track, but I liked the first track off that Orpheus and the Recluse album a lot too

 

[Granadier]

dude, spotify's been the shit since it dropped in '11

 

[overcast]

I'll agree with If You Know You Know being the best opening track. Kicks off that album perfectly.

Whoa, lets do it. Fetti was great.

 

[riotous]

Can anyone recommend some more....upbeat/energetic albums? I've skimmed through a bunch of the thread and listened to a lot of the more common names such as Drake and Kendrick Lamar etc but it's not quite what I am after. It may be that I tend to like "Rap" more(tbh I am not sure what really separates Rap & Hip Hop), few examples would be Chino XL, Tech N9ne, Bone Thugz(certain tracks) etc. I can listen to pretty much anything, but lately I have preferred lifting to upbeat hip hop/rap rather than the usual heavy metal.

Any help appreciated.

i'm watching the Game Awards only to see the announcements

DAYTONA aoty

definitely up there for me. pusha's best solo effort thus far (MNIMN would be his best if not for the 3 or 4 filler tracks and bad features)

Developed by Team Ninja on top of that. This is a great get for Nintendo, even if it didn't look that hot.

Remember the last game that Team Ninja developed that had everyone hot under the collar for its reveal?

We don't talk about that.

Lmao, Ubi took some heavy inspiration from “Annihilation”.

Other M is over-hated.

everytime i doubt whether i'm in for a switch game because of ass performance/animation/visuals, i immediately flip on that because of the portable aspect. IN for this.

This looks great. I loved Bastion and Transistor, even though I never finished the latter (I should).

I love the Celeste OST just as much as the next guy, but you can't beat those almost 200 interactive compositions and that incredible D'Angelo track.

Spoiler

Geoff, please have D'Angelo perform tonight.

IDK how people can even stomach being over there sometimes. Average age seems about at least 5-7 years younger than etcetera. Once you get big boy jobs this console wars shit don't mean a damn thing anymore, not that it ever really did but it makes a little more sense when you're a broke ass kid who can only get one thing and don't have to think about anything else.

the golden days of console wars on gamefaqs and IGN forums were legendarily lame

Why is the sound mix so bad? Didn't they do soundchecks?
