What releases?
Had Cyberpunk 2077 really released next month it would have saved my sanity for the next few locked down months. Well if I make it out alive, the ER is getting a little dicey.
And Persona 5 Royal today.
Animal Crossing, Half Life and Doom last week.
Videogames are back!
The more I read about RE3 cutting content the more I'm left scratching my head over the GOTY win for RE2. RE2 is dope, but knowing that the B scenario wasn't even a B scenario. Idk it just seemed like a pretty big oversight to not make it a unique 6 hour perspective. Followed by all these locations getting cut in 3. I wonder if stuff like this will change how people view these remakes? Imagine if 4 didn't even have the village. Lol.

Watching Gibbs on InstaLive have girls join in to dance as he drinks and plays music in " Club Diego" Is what I needed today. It's hilarious because none of these people he puts on are cute lmao and him kicking people of stream is killing me

It starts and ends a snoozefest, the middle is pretty good though
Honestly they're always super uninformed about everything that doesn't originate or work out of the dusty 90s. I don't think they're good reviewers. I don't take anything that they say seriously that isn't a review of some boom bap. I shook my head pretty hard when whatever his name couldn't figure that Part 2 was a followup to X0 Tour Life. There are some pretty interesting and weird flows on Eternal Atake that Uzi has only shown glimpses of before and while it's not a weirdo rap album by means there is enough experimentation here and there to say that Uzi is utilizing some of those outside influences that Myke seems to expect from his persona. I also don't think people understand that Uzi is a big fan of punk music. The upside cross is more than likely an homage or ode to GG Allin than it is to Aleister Crowley. There's definitely a GG Allin, punk ethos to how Uzi approaches music making though he still manages to fit it within the zeitgeist of popular modern radio rap. This whole notion that he's an outsider, an alien, or an alien abductee is as much an ode to GG thinking he's Jesus as it is to prime Lil Wayne.
I mean, they're aware that they aren't the beat when it comes to talking about this type of trap since they know their age has affected their view of it. Hell, they're aware they listened to music that even older rap heads were shaking their heads at. If you haven't already, you should take the time to watch their old Lil Yachty Teenage Dreams review. They make note of the fact that this whole wave of music takes heavy inspiration from punk and that it's a factor in the draw it has over people.
I think here though, the crew is simply trying to understand musically what separated Uzi from his peers so much that he became this super, superstar in a way. Granted, several of his contemporaries unfortunately died, but it is fascinating to see him of all people stick his releases so well, especially with the gap between shit.
Also if we're being critical about the album, they're critique about the space cocept is spot on. It's surface level aesthetic at best and an abandoned idea not matched at all by the production and lyrics at worst.
But it is full of bangers and that's pretty much the main point Uzi was probably after so eh.
Really though, I'm always amazed that Uzi has such huge staying power because of how weird he actually is. Both musically and as a personality.
He's not really what one thinks of as Hip Hop superstar. He doesn't really have the cred of the Migos nor does he really fit into the super tortured auteur role that Lil Peep/Xxxtentacion used to fit into.
And he wears his geekiness so casually that he makes it seem normal.

They had one critique that was spot on... When I listen to most of them it's like watching a guy who has never played a fighting game try to provide commentary on a professional match. They just say super vague and useless things like nice, he's in trouble, such and such character has the life lead. And that's what it's like watching most of them. Every once in a while Myke mainly will say something worthwhile, but for the most part I don't understand why people even watch them.
Also I used to be a punkhead, and while I can see what people mean by saying trap music follows punk closely, I kinda get it, but it's missing something really important to punk to me, which is that rigtheous, political fury. Hell, hip hop was more punk back in the days of NWA lol.
I can only really see it as punk as an FU to societal norms. Or the sad boy shit which was obviously inspired by shit like sunny day real estate and Fugazi.

Yeah there really needs to be a massive bonus being paid out to essential workers globally. Some of them WILL die because people need to eat and have their houses powered etc.
