You do know that First Of The Month is about crack heads getting their welfare checks, and spending it all on crack? Its a great song, but..... Its certainly not about spending your welfare check on BBQ and beer. Its about spending it all on crack so they get can go have a BBQ.

I couldn't agree with you more. This site has become more and more awful since Breihans arrival. He is the fucking worst. But Caitlin, and Deville are pretty fucking terrible as well. Really the only good writer that has worked here lately was Miles and they fired him for being awesome.

I think she's lying/exagerrating. She strikes me as more troubled than brave.

I couldn't agree more. My only problem with indie rock/music is that all the fans of it are all such fucking pussies. When I first moved to Williamsburg I was shocked at how uptight everyone was. If I didn't listen to the artist that I thought were assholes, I wouldn't have anything to listen to. I think bitching about brunch is way deauschier than this. Just listen to his records (which are great) and stop being such kill joys!

You think she's a better songwriter than Noah Lennox, Dave Longstreth, Avery Tare, or Nat Baldwin?

This is just as terrible as Mind Raft. If it wasn't for Dirty Projectors we wouldn't even be hearing this. She seemingly is terrible at writing songs. Which is fine, but I'm not sure why she wouldn't just have Avey Tare, Noah Lennox, Longstreth and Nat Baldwin write her a bunch of songs and then pick the best ones. That album would probably be amazing. She's cute and a very good singer, she just needs some material.

Love this record. Probably won't break my top 10 though. Hate to pimp a butterfly so that won't even crack my top 50. So far for albums I would say 1) panda bear- pb vs gb 2) Sufjan stevens- Carrie and Lowell 3) drake- if your reading this it's too late 4) sheer mag-II EP 5) quarterbacks-quarterbacks Songs- 1) fetty wap-trap queen 2) Sufjan stevens- should've known better 3) Hudson Mohawke-Ryderz 4) chief keef- fenito 5) u-ziq- XT

Wasn't sylvester fired for plagiarism? Or something like that?

I would say that it would probably be A LOT more difficult to teach someone how to do the exact sample of say Girls, Girls, Girls part 2 on a Roland sp 404, or on Apleton Live than it would be to teach someone how to play Sweet Home Alabama or No Surprises on the guitar. There is actually a lot of tricky stuff going on with sampling usually. Its not nearly as easy as you might think. And then you also have to take into account the time it took them to find the records to sample. Some of those records are incredibly obscure. They also almost always credit the artist. I can't remember the last time I heard a producer try to use a sample without clearance. Also if you listen to Chaka Kahns Aint Nobody, and Kanye's Through The Wire, they are significantly different songs. No one would ever mistake one for the other. But if you put on The Gap Bands- Oops Upside Your Head, and Ronsons Uptown Funk it would be hard to argue that theyre not incredibly similar.

She impressed "everyone"? Pitchfork didn't even cover this hack!

Really tall women creep me out.

Still no acknowledgment of the fact that I really really like you is at # 92 or something on billboard right now. At least say something like, "we really thought I really really like you was going to be a hit, but is a huge dud." Not mentioning it at all just makes you guys seem like a bunch of scumbags.

He would marry a redbone

I was waiting for the new week in pop article just so I could make a joke about how terrible that Carly Rae jepsen song is doing on the charts. You beat me to it.

Do you listen to a lot of rap music? Or do you just listen to Chance the Rapper, Kendrick Lamar, and Run The Jewels?

I agree with you. Drakes mixtape is a lot better than this. I also like the new Chris Crack and Fetty Wap singles much better than anything on this. He's just so bad at picking beats. I guess it's really uplifting and serious or whatever, but the songs mostly suck. Kind of sounds like Commons One Day It'll All Make Sense. Never really cared for that record either. Kendrick Lamar is rap music for people who don't like rap music. The song Momma is the ony song I really liked on it. Too Neo-Souly/Love Jones Soundtracky for my taste.

i meant average rapper

It seems like know one really has been able to judge Kanye fairly. He's either the greatest musician of our generation or a talentless idiot. When in reality he is neither. College Dropout was a fine debut, but was overlong, and had plenty of skippable tracks. Graduation had great songs one it, but had plenty of garbage on it, like Drunk and Hot Girls, and Barry Bonds. 808's and Heartbreak was daring, but aside from Streetlights was absolutely awful. MBDTF was a huge event, but was bloated and over the top, and had some really bad songs on it. Like Monster, aside from Nickis verse. So Appalled, and especially Hell Of Life which is one of his worst songs ever. Yeezus was certainly out of left field, but only because he's a popular rapper, had it been released by just some dude it wouldn't have been nearly as striking. in fact a lot of his acclaim and disdain comes from his celebrity. He's only had to real classics. Blueprint, with a collective of people, and Late Registration. In all honesty Kanye is a great producer, and an average producer who's made one classic album and produced part of one. In terms of pop music he's certainly the most creative of his generation, but if you look at music in whole, his creativity is rather overstated. Late Registration is very creative, but compared to something like say Person Pitch or Cryptograms it would be a stretch to say it is the most creative of the bunch. He's not the worst, and he's not the best. He's simply very good. And his new stuff is terrible. I think he may be "out of his moment."

Well MOMA is by no means a crappy museum. It still has Barnett Newmans Vir Heroicus Sublimis, and that painting alone is worth the price of admission, but their retrospectives are indeed pretty terrible. Even the Mattisse Cut Out show was over crowded, and tossed together. But their permanant collection wipes the floor with the Brooklyn Museum. I think Kahindi Wiley has something at the Brooklyn Museum right now, and he is terrible. So theres also that.
