Waste of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis (2019)

It's a shame how talented this guy is in every aspect but lyrical content. Good songwriting, good curation of beats, fantastic voice...but holy fuck, every song he's ever made is either about drinking lean (which he claims he doesn't do anymore, so weird flex my guy) or about how women won't fuck him and his dick can't get hard. Like for real, ladies, someone please suck this guy's dick so he can make music that isn't cringey as fuck. Edit: HOLY FUCK and it's 22 songs long? There is no way this man deadass just made 22 full ass incel anthems...

Weezer - High As A Kite / Living In L.A. [Singles] (2019)
TomoLust replied to BenjaminBurnley's topic in Singles
This is really good, goddamn. Looking like this'll be the proper sequel to the White Album. Y'all fucking know people will still complain anyway. Weezer fans don't even like Weezer, honestly the band they're all looking for is Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Those dudes have been making the albums that Weezer "fans" have actually wanted since Pinkerton. -

Whether you actually end up liking his music or not is of course subjective, but there's no denying that 21 is one of the realest in the game; he's one of the only mfs who are out here rn spitting nothing but the cold hard truth about life in marginalized communities while at the same time not sugar-coating it like other "woke rappers" like K-Dot, Cole, Janelle, etc. all are. My guess is the same reason Vince Staples doesn't list features anymore - the song is called what it's called. The song isn't called "Song (feat. Quavo)" just because Quavo is on it, it's just called "Song", y'know?

2018 was both the Year Of The Short Album and also the Year Of The Too Fucking Long Album. Here's another of the latter. Do y'all think it's either record labels trying to rack up that streaming money with extra songs or that so many rappers just have absolutely no self-awareness? Cause like, with ones like Migos, I feel like it's no self-awareness. For like Drake, I'd bet it's money 4 tha label. Either way, holy fuck, if y'all really want the extra streaming money, let me break this shit down: now let's just say for this example that 1 stream = $1. Now of course that's not true, but that's just the example because I can't do math for fuckshit. Anyways, so an album like Scorpion with 25 songs on it, people listen on the first night, they get through the whole album and that's $25 for a full album listen. But an album that long just generally is too long to hold attention and be worth relisting to. However, let's say you have a fucking fantastic album like Noname's Room25, which for this example we'll just round down and say it's a 10 song album (it's 11, but again, just example because Me Poobrain). Listen on release night, it's digestible and each full run is $10. Now Scorpion is too long, ain't nobody listened to that shit twice on release night. Room25 tho? I listened three times. So night one alone that made $30 off of the average listener because not only was there no filler, but it was enjoyable enough to warrant three listens. That's already beating out Scorpion's $25 first listen. Now maybe you'll listen to Scorpion a few times or a few standout tracks at a time after that. You're still not making much more money off of those extra filler tracks, whereas Room25 is so brilliant and so palatable that it's on repeat for the next several months. More money, better music, better artistry.

Sorry darling, that's not actually at all how it works. When you sign a contract, you often sign a deal for several records often with release dates set before they even exist, if your seen as a potential cash cow; they want to keep milking you. At that point, those records belong to the label. Your work is now their intellectual property. That's why Tha Carter V was such a big deal with its delays - Wayne saying it was gonna be his last album pressured Cash Money/Young Money/Birdman/UMG to continuously delay the record and pressure him into dropping IANAHB2, Free Weezy, those Dedication tapes, S4TW2, T-Wayne, No Ceilings 2, In Tune We Trust...all those miscellaneous collaboration albums, mixtapes, and EPs. Because they bargained to make ends meet with those release dates set by contractual agreement and miscellaneous mostly non-album projects.

No one played the race card. How do y'all see the word "white" and then immediately think someone's attacking you for being white regardless of the context? Me saying "white executive in a suit" doesn't change the validity of what I'm saying. I don't give a fuck if it's a black drag queen who's the label CEO that owns The Beatles music - that shit don't matter, in 300 years they're still not going to be Beethoven-status if their music isn't public domain by then. Fucking hell, y'all fragile about being white. No one's attacking you for that jesus fuck.

Industry, fam. Industry is fucking disgusting. Most major label contracts have a section or whatever about how the label keeps your music for an indefinite amount of time in the "untimely event of your death before the contract is upheld" or whatever. It's honestly fucking disgusting, but that's just a tiny part of an already disgusting industry. I'ma keep it real - all music by all dead people should be released from contracts unless their estate needs that money and has the written consent of the artist in their will or whatever. People can call The Beatles legends all they want, but The Beatles will never be Beethoven-legendary status so long as a white dude in a suit still owns all of their music decades after John died.
