Life is a joke, so why are you crying? Edward Skeletrix "Museum Music" analysis

[@manny7]

no way he got skeletrix on here

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

really? i knew it was coming

[@ThoggaTheory]

About time ! He'd love Skeletrix Language. Could prob get an hr long video from Skye just on that one .

[@johnjacob5341]

So glad you covered this album. Edward Skeletrix feels like an artist in the truest sense of the word

[@ThoggaTheory]

He says he wants to present the idea of an 'Off Brand Rapper' . Very interesting

[@BlackMetal2Fan]

Not only did he release this after a Museum Exhibit where he was apart of the installation, he also released what I would call the “B sides” to Museum Music on a side account called I’m a Monster

[@GrinchedHeavy]

Fire pfp🙏

[@ThoggaTheory]

Been obsessed with Edward's music since discovering him around this time last year, and this newest album has only further proven my love for his music. In fact, his newest album has grown on me so much to the point it's become one of my favorite rap albums EVER ! But seeing his change in style with his music and his overall growth has just been incredible.

[@j.a8793]

I thought I was listening to Skel but this whole time Skel was listening to us

[@AnalogPrincess]

hi thogga

[@drek273]

Me too. I love experimental music

[@fern_shy]

AVAA I think you nailed it well done

[@davo312]

Love your work bro

[@mackwilson3528]

ur beats are incredible man

[@manny7]

yep

[@eoc6055]

🤍🤍🤍

[@idontfwscythe]

thank you so much for your work 🖤

[@seedbedff]

I listened to this album for the first time a few nights ago as I was going to bed. I usually don’t like to read lyrics the first time through an album because it’s too distracting for me, but I understood so little of what he was saying that I ended up reading a lot of the lyrics as I listened. Suffice it to say, I was pleasantly surprised and taken aback to find a lot of things worth thinking about and discussing, especially on songs like Plastic Body, God Made You a Monster, and others. Glad to see you felt the same way, and glad there are people like you to take seriously what a lot of people might not think is worth taking seriously. AVAA

[@notalexnotsupica7390]

Incredible analysis - you’re such a stronger thinker and I love how you put music into conversation with philosophical traditions and authors. I learn so much from you every video.

[@Kevin-bm1lx]

Further proof for why this is the best music discussion yt channel. We appreciate your efforts and lens.

[@mackwilson3528]

AAVA yo if u didn't see edward dropped another album the same day as the one also called "museum music" under the name "im a monster". its got the same title and its by the same guy and it came out the same day but its a completely different album lol. i dont wanna say 2 much but the song GOD from tbe other museum music (museum music 2?? idk what 2 call it) is probably the best rage song ive ever heard

[@bonshawty]

ths was some sloppy analysis of my listening of GOD if anyone cares. @professorskye i hope u see this "the dichotomy of it all. mama saying he needs god in his life, but her own child knows that he already is God and can control his life and destiny. either subconciously or consciously, the subject (edward) is understanding that the adults, elders, supposed-to-be more knowledgable ppl in his life dont kno wtf goin awn and cant help him adequately enuff. hes grappling with whether to let the external god into his life because maybe he can accomplish what he wants and more. his parents got to where they are with only the simplcity of having put ones own fate and faith into the hands of another "greater" being. but ed doesnt have that same outlook on life. he's struggling and 'GOD' is the manifestation of the push and pull he's experiencing. whether to give away his personal power to something he most likely doesnt believe in or to live in the constant push and pull of life without the backing of an omnipotent being and solely relying on his personal power that he isn't the most steadfast in. hes experienced and knows the throes of derealization, has grappled with suicid*l ideations. he understands psychology, and the spiritual aspects of life, but to employ all of this knowledge is incredibly taxin on you. you do this work alone most of the time, and overall the knowledge can separate you from life. and Ed clearly is separated. he has separated himself from the superfluous going ons of the majority of his peers in the music scene and in his age group. GOD is such a good song and says SO MUCH. without saying that much at all. i love tht song

[@bonshawty]

@professorskye are you taking apprenticeships?

[@Ech0H0use11]

i love whenever prof skye talks about frank zappa

[@ReedMySole]

We replaced God with consumerism. Sheesh thats a BAR.

[@chickenpie8016]

Very Nitzschean

[@ismaeldjalo3485]

So crazy that you reviewed that, also new set up is looking crisp! AVAA from a long time supporter

[@punkvalley7237]

Holy shit this is why you’re my favorite KZbinr you’re exactly how I see myself in 15 -20 ish years from always being interested in newer music, linguistics, foreign culture. It’s so cool seeing an older more mature version of myself

[@slugchristking]

he is actually more akin to an art student out of New York since he is from New York and even held an "art exhibition" to promote for the release of the album

[@hivemindclips151]

AVAA one thing about edward skeletrix is that he studied psychology at georgia state university, really makes sense how he mentions mental health a lot in his music and has such wild perceptions

[@danielflynn1864]

AVAA great to see you covering skeletrix amazing commentary and analysis as always

[@ThoggaTheory]

I interpreted the album as an entrance and exit through Edward's 'Museum". The entrance is Congratulations, and we go through his exhibits, such as the new tracks & the singles which act as callbacks to his previous work. The exit of the 'Museum' is the simple, chilling and short track 'Yo Bro Will Kill You For A Band'.

[@neonghosttt]

i wish you went over "god made you a monster" in more depth (im not sure if you even mentioned it could of been so brief i didnt realize or not at all.) he talks about a rapper who died in 2018 who he was previously friends with. im not gonna go over the whole song in this comment but i thought the concept was interesting but don't exactly understand it and was hoping you were going to explain it.

[@drrantman]

bro the saxophone solo 😭😭

[@pinkuwah]

life so funny it gotta be a joke

[@pinkuwah]

i love him so much

[@drek273]

If I host a museum visit one day I’m playing this album. This is truly museum music✨

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

good release, cover fit perfect. peak of rap/trap. in the future we gonna just listen beats.

[@toothbrushgod]

AVAA really happy to see you review this album :D

[@wumpus3719]

AVAA was surprised seeing you cover this album glad you did though

[@prod-jul3ss]

you are the goat for making this video. Great analysis too

[@MachinePinatas]

AVAA So fucking glad to see bro cover this

[@signsofpoorhealth]

AVAA I was praying you’d get to this album

[@ThoggaTheory]

You absolutely need to check out Skeletrix Language. Production wise it's very similar to this, but he goes even deeper lyrically with the personal messages. Very interesting

[@kizakizo]

AVAA i love your random tangents keeps me stimulated

[@yeenballin]

Edward Skeletrix is the new gen Kanye

[@STGsnix]

this video is a beautiful work of art

[@AdoreHorror]

Hype!! i just bought album from bandcamp. Havent had a chance to listen to it yet though

[@Eduardo-xk1xz]

Did u listen to it?

[@allxxndr]

we should get your thoughts on the exhibition he did for the rollout of this album AVAA

[@quadww]

11:20 "Typical Rap Song" is a series of tracks by Skeletrix. #1-10 are on his first project, Skeletrix Language.

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

ppl suprise because Professor review Edward.. i mean, Edward rn is all over the place

[@progressiveGal73]

He’s def not all over the places I visit~and I haven’t seen any “mainstream” commentators (the ones I give myself time for anyway) discussing this artist. Thank god for prof skye and his offbeat ways lol

[@slyboots3677]

thank you for reviewing this album!!!!!!!!!!!

[@quadecamashups]

I thought skeletrix language from 2023 was much more consistent, but glad to see him being discussed

[@davo312]

Loved the album. Love your review AVAA

[@amegis1830]

wow i actually recommended edward so its pretty cool you actually did the video. when i made that comment tho i did type some stupid shit about him that feels bery pretentious to me now, just hope you forgot about that and luckily you actually like the recommendation. Also: he dropped two albums named museum music, one under the name im a monster, but i dont think it needs a video necissarily.

[@turfylol3844]

Never been so excited from seeing a thumbnail

[@shm3at]

YES.

[@vvrrva]

THANK YOU PROFESSOR SKYE AVAA!!!!

[@TommyThaii]

Beautiful

[@nathanharris8236]

other half of this album is also rly good u should check it out. its under the artist name "I'm a monster"

[@Panchooooooooooooooo]

you play any video games Professor Skye?

[@professorskye]

From time to time, but don’t have the time to play consistently. Mainly PokemonGo and the big Nintendo titles. Did play Alien Isolation recently on my phone

[@ivrxr8693]

AVAA Sounds really interesting. Will listen to tomorrow.

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

looking for his musem ''gigs'' in europe

[@borgaschmord]

I also hear the first note of “simply having a wonderful Christmastime” in typical rap song 12- it happens around the 1:20 mark of the song during the transition from the fast tempo portion of the song to the slowed/reverb/bass boosted portion.

[@borgaschmord]

1:23 to be exact (I’m listening to it on tidal). Happens exactly once

[@borgaschmord]

AVAA!! Will be diving deeper into Edward Skeletrix with this absurdist lens you’ve provided :-3

[@Lucas-hz8ts]

AAVA, can't wait to hear what you have to say about ethel cain's new project

[@hugobecookin]

This album was such a surreal first listen. Loved it

[@igotmoremotion]

It’s like I prayed for this video

[@pinkuwah]

real same

[@PabloHernandez-rr1or]

AVAA, i'll def check this out prof. Imma recomend u one of my fav rappers ever, lil supa. Specially his album yeyo. He is a venezuelan rapper that is just a hip hop legend. He has an interesting idea about an international hip hop movement that i think u will dig, he even has a deep apreciation for french rap

[@snakebirdplus]

what a great video

[@carterbunyea5926]

thanks for talking about edward

[@xylemtube]

AVAA 7:12 just describing babyfather/dean blunt

[@jack_the_breathtaker2410]

Definitely not Babyfather in my opinion. Dean was so heavily involved with the UK grime scene and he said that he’d never satirize such and that that’s not the intention behind Babyfather.

[@Brady_2002]

AAVA Prof, a video about French punk music would be awesome (:

[@AmbassadorBleu]

I manifested this.

[@FredTheRed27]

YOOO EDWARD SKELETRIX REVIEW 💪

[@philip7094]

awesome

[@rameshpk3212]

great video

[@sosunni.]

ion lie...i recently was suggested that 'congratulations' honda video, didnt know what that was but im glad coz that shit was weird asl 😅 i then was caught in a rabbit hole obviously, his exhibition too.❤

[@mrbigscreen123]

As someone who has just gotten into absurdism this is a nice surprise

[@dumb2ducky]

AVAA this album is a complete masterpiece 🔥

[@linkahyrule2404]

28:09 Did Quentin Tarantino's filmography not exist before 2008? Remember Uma Thurman dancing barefoot in Pulp Fiction. And all the shots of Uma Thurman's feet in Kill Bill volume 1. And all the shots of Uma Thurman's feet in Kill Bill volume 2. Etc.

[@wureka4856]

have you checked out james ferraro's music? he's a genius and i would really love seeing analysis from you on something like NYC hell 3:00 AM or silica gel. he's probably one of the biggest influences on the modern underground and laid the groundwork for artists like bladee and ecco2k. AAVA

[@Trixiethegoldenwitch]

"in the 21st century we had the death of god, which is a shame because god was pretty cool" AVAA

[@PochoAA]

absurdism is so based

s/o 2 Frank Zappa

[@fumaholics]

Hi, love this video if you liked this album you should cover James Ferraro - NYC Hell, and/or Skid row and also check out Triad God

[@47ii]

Zappa yes great comparison..

[@benthamin]

AVAA skeletrix a legend

[@jodyisthatyou4296]

AVAA re; Zappa, highly recommend the only film he ever scored entitled The World's Greatest Sinner

[@elliottsdreaming]

Banger incoming

[@lukeolazabal]

great vid

[@Dschoanig]

AVAA! I think you'd probably like his visual stuff like the videos he did with AI around a year ago :)

[@sebastianm6458]

This album is nightmare fuel

[@ex8x]

this album sounds like overdosing on fent

[@gangswag3447]

The word onlyfan has also been used in kanye's work. Though it's in a different sense, it holds a similar meaning.

[@Clarkchapin]

Unless you’re going for the Mid-Atlantic Ridge the closest man-made locale near the middle of a direct flight between Atlanta and Stockholm would be the wreck of the Titanic. If you want land then Greenland or the Azores.

[@cccccccccccccccccccccccccc8412]

Ooooooo Im hypewd aboujt this one

[@jeffcrumpler8905]

Avaa I'm not a content creator but I am a tattoo artist and have an LLC. What you need to do is find a cpa. They will help you set up an LLC they will help you file your taxes and do write offs and all that. And no amount of do it yourself will make up for the experience and education they can provide. My recommendation. Find a content creator in your area who you can take to and find out who they use. Then go to that person. They'll already be familiar with the ins and outs of your industry.

[@jeffcrumpler8905]

Also not for nothing. Set up a business account. Have all your income from your LLC hit that first, then transfer to your personal. That way your cpa can set it up that a portion of what you make is your salary. Everything else your business account gets is capital gains. Those are taxed at a lower rate. Buy anything that could even tangentially be for your business as a business expense with your business account and save the receipts. When tax season hits bring a list an receipts of all that to your cpa and that's the tax write off. But most importantly get a cpa. I'm telling you my first year doing tattoos proffesionally I tried to file myself without a LLC I'm still paying that tax bill 5 years later. Vs now i pay quarterly and the total comes out to maybe a quarter of that every year. A good cpa will change your life. My guy gets a Christmas card every year that's how important he is to me lol.

[@bappp0]

reading this album on release was insane i was drunk as fuck

[@javiterrazas9825]

AVAA "A table"

[@Smaer3]

Hey Prof I highly suggest you check out Edward Skeletrix's Museum Music Exhibit. Very fascinating performance art.

[@cdasante]

this is very profound

[@elivaz2460]

AVAA didnt really enjoy the albums but enjoyed your analysis,! I would love your thoughts on ethel cain new ep "perverts", but i understand if its out of your confort zone professor.

[@Cerealbocs]

wow

[@longjohnson9214]

Ohh shit

[@skeletrixman]

super padre!

[@alienbeardogmonkey]

AVAA I gotta say I never expected you to acknowledge that Edward Skeletrix exists but ig that was silly of me

[@Vertig0sGeko]

Please keep commenting on these meta irony music creations!! I love how you unpack these so much and I love your context that influences your opinion. I also watched all the bladeE videos you made twice (I am a drainer) ((lol)) and the nettspend video was very well spoken Thank you for commenting on modern art AVAA

[@very250]

Yk there’s another half of this album right? Edward skeletrix dropped 15 more songs on another album by the same name it’s on his I’m a Monster account
