watch this one next and report back“Soundscapes of the year 3050” is a phrase that sent a shiver up my spine, but then I have just watched two nuclear war movies in a row.
I think he makes it fit. It doesn't hurt.Kit says he crowbarred the UK drill section in, but I think it’s the best part of the book so far.
I've heard from insiders that this is b/c very few reviewers actually read their books. They skim for premise, maybe do the intro, then tie it into other stuff they're looking to say.That seems to happen quite often, not necessarily in terms of the reviewer attacking someone or thing, but that a review ends up being something other than a review. You see it on LRB quite a bit. They list whichever books are being reviewed at the top then the article barely mentions them and they just write their own article on the subject or something adjacent to it.
and then sell the review copy for supplemental incomeAnd pick out a few choice passages to mercilessly skewer in surgical detail

This is exactly the point at which I engaged with hiphop again after basically thinking it was bullshit for years. That Kevin Gates tune grabbed my ears (I remember it well, walking across a baseball pitch in I think Dorchester in Boston). I think the willingness among all the bragadoccio to explore new emotional territory, alongside beats that to me were new horizons in what you could do with mainstream hiphop, was what did it for me. After years of trying to explain to people how boring I thought Jay Z and Aesop Rock were.this type/era of rap song was never completely realized. the early to mid 10's production on an ultra dramatic thug ballad thing. the almost a diva quality to it. the cheap sounding preset synths lend themselves well to it. drake did it alot but those songs are awful.
