A new Topster again.

Peace — I'm Wither & this is my pinned post. I'm here for hip-hop & the discussion thereof, partake in my own luddite poetics from time to time.
I like a lot of obscure ish, so if you have a likemind tap in with me.

Has Alchemist apologia really devolved into sales talks?

@bille_gcr Darkwing is absolutely invoking sales / popularity to defend the quality of Alchemist's production. Fan culture is nationalism I'm sorry you don't get a pass because you like an indie label instead of a major

[Wither @PostWither]

@a_b_e_official_ @dumpgawdcantmss Well again I think it's also about the prestige of having an album with Alchemist. You're willing to overlook some less interesting choices while remembering the glory days.

[Wither @PostWither]

@a_b_e_official_ @dumpgawdcantmss If Earl heard the beats Alc had lined up for Voir Dire and his only consideration was "Wow these beats sound fire I have to rap on them" then I think measurably less of his taste and discernment as an artist

[Wither @PostWither]

Do you demean yourself with definition? Are you only ever diminished by digestion?

[Wither @PostWither]

@a_b_e_official_ @dumpgawdcantmss choosing him off the strength of his modern instrumentals.

[Wither @PostWither]

@a_b_e_official_ @dumpgawdcantmss I think it's a mix of financial incentives and respect for the name. I think most rap fans — and what rapper isn't a rap fan? — have some love for an older version of Alc. I don't think his more recent output deserves that love, though, nd I don't think his collaborators are

[Wither @PostWither]

@a_b_e_official_ @dumpgawdcantmss Reason being his name sells records. Working with Alchemist puts you in good standing with a whole subsection of hip-hop head.
