Just listened the whole album. Amazing. The beats and lyrics are mind blowing. I SERIOUSLY don't understand how this guy isn't more recognized.

[@Mqxwell]

I don't get it either. This dude is putting out gold. This album was like playing with his prey before murking it. There are other modern, profound rappers still out there (Billy Woods), but there just isn't the same personality put into it. Reminds me of how visceral and vunerable Mac Miller would be on some of his darkest tracks, but with a twist of poetry and soul.

[@stevenburns918]

Was there beef?!

[@mykneecapshurt]

Steven Burns Throughout the years Rory and Fantano have gone through friendships and subtle disses (mostly on Rory’s end) and it usually depended on whether his latest review on him was positive.

[@stevenburns918]

@@mykneecapshurt That's what I figured. I did a quick Google search on the matter and found a comment from Milo about Ant's review of A Toothpaste Suburb. Milo wasn't happy with the review (a 5). Frankly, I've listened to everything Rory has released, and A Toothpaste Suburb was pretty mediocre. Purple Moonlight Pages is thicc as fuck though.

[@erosramascotti]

ro talk is underwhelming? interesting, i found the track to be one of best on the whole lp. granted, it doesn't take many risks and isn't the most experimental cut on the album, but i don't think it's necessary at this point of the album. i love how the sound of the beat has this sense of wrapping the album up with those gorgeous strings and these very clean and hard-hitting drums. lowkey the hardest beat and moment on the whole lp + it just fits perfectly in the tracklisting

[@maxspencerkarinen6463]

after listening to this album pretty consistently for a year, ro talk went from one of my least favourite tracks to my absolute favourite. This whole album is really easy to appreciate after a while, the wordplay and production grows on you with every listen. It kind of sucks that music reviewers need to be on the cutting edge and giving opinions as fast as possible to be successful.

[@maxspencerkarinen6463]

I could listen to a whole album of just the electric piano bits from this masterpiece

[@erosramascotti]

@@maxspencerkarinen6463 unfortunately, that's just the way the business works. i fully agree with you, the fast paced nature of the music industry doesn't really leave space for growing or the durability of an album. it's the price to pay for the evolution of music, starting of as a luxury product becoming an everyday good. that being said, i respect anthony's opinion (he might still not like ro talk down to the song itself and that's fine). then again, ro talk still fucking slaps :)

[@jackognibene2387]

Wholly agree with this, it is probably the most accessible track on the LP but it’s definitely still one of my favorites

Mr. Ferreira is more the kind of poet who constantly throws thoughts at the listener rather than scheduling a path, and maybe this is what makes him so unique! He thinks he writes, he sings, he delivers the message through a cinematic soundscape and moves on the next project quickly.

I've never observed Rory to seem to be a bad dude at all. He seems eccentric but genuine. But that's just my opinion

[@joedorben3504]

@@North0house Idk how much of him you've seen but he thinks hes the greatest thing since sliced bread, and that everything he drops is perfect. If anyone notable disagrees, he gets on Twitter and bawls like a little bitch for hours at a time, then proceeds to throw subliminals at them throughout his next projects, even if he seemed to be on good terms with them beforehand (happened to Anthony). Such a great artist with such little self awareness. Ig it's hard for any of us to be perfectly self aware, but this dude's just arrogant as shit tho

[@joedorben3504]

@Mica-Spangled you could prob tag Cavalacade on there too (and I fw Toothoaste Suburb and Nostrum Grocers heavy personally) but I wanted tk shout those two out bc I feel like So The Flies Don't Come was really one of the better albums of 2015, one of the greatest years for hip hop ever, and Who Told You To Think is amazing and easily one of the most underrated projects of the 2010s imo (key word is underrated, not overlooked, which is too)

[@geewhiz4412]

I mean aren't most rappers cocky? I understand what you mean because rory puts himself on a philosophical high horse as opposed to saying I'm the best to ever do it. I also think he approaches his art for himself more than how people react to it. Pretty sure why he had a problem with fantano. Experimentation is a the forefront, so if you don't enjoy it just keep it moving. His music has evolved over the years. Last, who else can rap like this?

The outro is not a Pharaoh Sanders cover - it’s a Leon Thomas cover from his album “Spirits Known & Unknown”. Rory played the track on one of the first Ruby Yacht Radio episodes in 2015/16. I teared up hearing him do his own version of the track because of the significance of Thomas’ music in my life after connecting deeply with his sound - but Rory’s version is sensitive to the original & I’d consider it tonally identical to the original. To be at one with art & life & to find a way are the key themes of this album - this outro perfectly ties it all together in an incredibly meaningful way. Peace to the rubaiyat.
