This was awesome, man. Loved the examples. Might be my new favourite music commentary channel.

Jumped by mostly PNB Rock buddy got the curse

I hope this deluxe shit stops. Im tired of it

“Said he couldn’t market me”

The guitar rip, dang the amount of attention you put in yo work is astronomical man.

w video

what i think is i think its hard for lyrical rappers to blow up in this day of age u seen the attempts of some like ybn cordae or joeybadass etc they cant seem to stick but if these lyrical rappers find a way to stick there gonna be here for a long time allah j cole k dot drake idk if people dont like lyrical rap or its just taking too long to blow up making a big 3 probaly hard to replicate

Haven’t watched the video yet but just letting it be known that people treat Ethel’s music ironically not because they don’t understand its significance (how could you not, it shoves the messaging down your throat so hard I thought it wouldn’t call me back the next day), but because her music is bland, boring, unoriginal, and oftentimes painful to listen to

I will get definitions of rap from a white dude who makes rap videos named hadji

Well said

Cole Dropped before Drake dropped

Jamie fox

Well, if someone as chill as Cole can't even say "We the Big 3" without someone taking offense, I guess rappers just ain't allowed to be friends anymore. That said, there will always be a "Big 3". Cole had made a title that will stick. There will always be the top 3 rappers on the Hip-Hop polls, that's something the Culture can't just ignore

Hey! Great content! I first came across your content in 2022 or so on TikTok and I really think you’re hitting your stride with this type of video. Keep up the good work!

is this satire or something

Please leave Tyler far away from trav 6:25

Good analysis

I thought I was trippin, but it’s a reupload lol

Only sigmas know this is a reupload

Sza did say that the deluxe was its own seperate album

Frank ocean is never going to drop again 😂😂

It’s a guy thing

I might get a girlfriend after watching this

Broooo I might actually be a teacher

1:27 i'm not gonna waste your time" 3 minutes later: "Websters defines irony as The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning. Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs."

First video I've seen of yours, digging your content man

Shoutout to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for predicting social media and the world afterwards. Especially the part about sifting through the endless amounts of meaningless garbage that we post collectively.

What I got from this video is that Lil B is the GOAT

Link that stair wall thing

Crazy how music is just an act these days Artists acting like they gove a shit when its obvious they just want fame were living in the worst time for music tbh

Its so obvious that people these days are making music for fame and attention its so cringe seeing these people promote their shitty songs on IG or tik tok Miss when music was made with passion and a love for the art What a shame

Hang on...HW Fowler's Modern English Usage is one book, and Kingsley Amis's The King's English is another, they were published 70 years apart, and Amis refers to Fowler all the way through his book bc Fowler is the touchstone for this sort of reference book. I was SO bewildered...you had Amis's book in your hand!!

postironic memefication is my Roman Empire.

I love SOS the original album. nothing but bangers.But the deluxe version is just meh. Literally looks like she lost her creative juice! sad!

tbh i think a lot of people in general have an insecurity about liking weird or offputting music and try to coax it in jokes to justify it and show they are not weird or offputting too

diamond boy = one of the best songs of 2024

I think I know what you mean, but honestly I've always seen alot of sincerity on the internet, maebe even more than irony. I've been seeing alot of people lately saying that nobody takes anything seriously anymore... I disagree, or maebe I just dont get it. I surf the web quite a bit and I see plenty of people taking things seriously. Just because people enjoy joking around for fun doesnt mean they don't take anything seriously. Maebe most of the irony is just going over my head or something idk...

Do you gives music advice or tips? I want to start but idk how to

“She could have dropped this as a stand alone album.” No she couldn’t have. 1) the songs aren’t as good as the ones in Ctrl or SOS and 2) 6 of the songs have been previously released or leaked. Had she presented this as a new album people would have complained. I think it’s a smart marketing strategy to out the gate present this as an extension of her previous album cycle. It also has a lot to do with the “Deluxe” terminology being so synonymous with hip hop and pop fans all over. Can you imagine Gorillaz dropping The Fall: Plastic Beach Deluxe back in 2010? No. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. If the album as a medium is dying it’s because we let it die.

It’s more than fitting especially when we consider that she’s parting ways with punch. Yes SOS album is lengthy now even more so but I don’t see it as an issue. Songs are personal and the release of Lana feels like SZA moving on and forward closing out her SOS chapter. SZA now on her own seems to be eager to release more music so we may get an official album from her next year. Also she’s going on tour with Kendrick. So I don’t think her releasing Lana as a deluxe is simply for the role out it’s everything to do with her mental and where she was and is at.

🔥🔥 great video bro

...why is it that i keep going back to Museum of Contradictions rather than go to his newer stuff?....i feel something is missing on his new releases...

This is a really good channel. Unc is gonna blow up sometime in the near future, I just know it

A lot of (extreme) metal albums from bands I like still do stories, themes and concepts in their album. It's just the mainstream that doesn't do this. A lot of these bands never release deluxe versions because their story is already complete instead of just single tracks released at once woth no connection etc. And if they do it's mostly like 2 special songs or covers from other artists. Of youre into that kind of music I highly recommend from mars to sirius by gojira (its a lot older though), terminal redux by vektor and pain remains by lorna shore (came out last year I think)

I hate how many immature rotten people are missusing the word based and don't know what it means or were it comes from. Whenever I see some edgy 13 year old call another guy based because he thinks homophobic slurs and hating on women is cool because his disgusting personality gets him no btches I instantly report to the basedgod. Curses flying left and right to humble and teach their misguided egos. They're getting a strong debuff until they mature and find out how to treat other beings. The most based thing is love. Love always wins, always evolves. TYBG

Most forget the most obvious reason. The label. Labels MAKE artist's by the most part drop deluxe albums. Just another way of putting more sales on the album. Same thing they do with "greatest hits" album even when the artist wasn't even retired. Usually just sponsored partnership which makes alternative specific albums aswell. It's almost never the artist's decision to make a deluxe half the time. Usually just contractual agreements to the amount of albums they will owe.

I like that Peggy and Danny did the EP follow-up in a more clean and proper way, I think. On the other hand, the deluxe version SZA did seems like a fun way to, as you said earlier, provide fan service and give people what they've been asking for.
