2024.04.12 17:15 ConcernedHumanDroid Are Rap music beefs corny?

In its formative years, rap music tended to have a lighthearted, party vibe and lyrics about having fun, self-expression and life in the inner cities. Groups like The Sugarhill Gang had one of the first mainstream rap hits with "Rapper's Delight" in 1979.
The "gangsta rap" era is considered to have emerged in the mid to late 1980s on the West Coast, pioneered by groups like N.W.A. and solo artists like Ice-T. Their music reflected the harsh realities of street life, gangs, violence and run-ins with the law in places like Compton. Key albums from this era were "Straight Outta Compton" by N.W.A. in 1988 and "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" by Ice-T in 1989.
Fast forward to today. Most rappers have had alright lives with some in particular growing up quite lavish. These rap beefs and the obsession media and culture has with them seems very very corny.
If you really think about it, they are singing poems sort of. They're not really in the battlefield, they're not even in a gang. It's ridiculous, it's abnormal and very corny. Imagine getting mad at some poems and then retaliating with more poems filled with insults.
Imagine if sports people have beefs, which is quite common from time to time but they're not treated as gangsters. People just admit they don't like each other and move on. But they do not impose a fake gang war like aura around the beef but rappers today still do which makes no sense.

2023.10.09 09:16 obblonge Kudzu

1am. Multiple missed calls tugging at my earlobes. I just acquired the Truecaller digital assistant, who is even able to do this? Hmph-mung-brar yeah? Ah. Brother Jeremiah. Yeah, man. You can chill. You got cookies? Yeah, I'm awake.
​
​
5:25am. Brother Jeremiah and Laura's daughter, the mother of Jeremiah's daughter, Vanessa have just left. Itsa small world. They had another guy in tow that I've met before. Remind me please to stop asking people their names. It just leads to heartache and resentment for all involved. At the moment he's Science and Religion Guy. Interesting conversation. And now that I'm sitting here sectioned off inna corner offa tiny living room with a bedsheet assa curtain realistically alone, I realize that the fourth guy, a Jonny, wasn't with them. How did Jonny get in here? I mean, door, obviously, but if Gina doesn't know him, and Jeremiah and crew didn't know him, Todd and Scrappy are asleep....
​
​
So., I announce exaggeratedly yawning that I'm going back to fucking sleep - the cookies are gone - usher out the shuffling procession, and at the end is Jonny. Who then points to the apartment block across the parking lot and says he lives at that one. Could I come by tomorrow and build those clothes racks? Oh. Uh. Yeah. Probably, like, evening-ish. Er the next day er the next. The prophet [Obblonge] hassan agenda.
​
​
So, Jonny has been sent off with flash drive containing about 5gb of music theory and vocal technique tutorials, and about fifty tracks of audio from the back catalogue. He had been admiring the stripped down to corner size equipment setup and had lamented about wishing to sing. While making leading inquiries as to why the interest in, and what the preferences are, I arm the condenser mic currently at the center offa plastic bin filled almost totally with absorbative foam. Here, man. This waveform on this screen represents your voice as just recorded. You weren't aware or in front of the mic directly, so I'll adjust...there. Alright. This is you. Lemme turn the latency down to recording level and then give me some of that Mariachi into this general area here. Yeah. I know. Those are the best headphones I've ever owned. Alright. Here's the recording. I'm normalizing, trimming off excess silence, taking a small sample of background noise and removing a small portion offit. Now see on the spectrum analyzer how when you're making this sound, and this sound? The hyperactive jumping lines temporarily form a series of thin peaks? Those are harmonics. Without going into the lecture, that is visual proof that you, in fact, can sing. Actually, nearly anyone can sing or play an instrument. Its like anything else - the more time and effort spent working towards your goals the closer you will get to making them your achievements. Just because Celine Dion can, yes, in fact, sing, does not mean I will ever willingly listen to her doing so. But that's me. My point is that distinctive is perhaps a direction to think about as opposed to completing tutorial modules at the top of your virtual class. It never occurred to me that I would be the one in front if the mic all these years spent learning to make joyous noises unto the Firmament. Yeah, I'm always the loudest one in the room, even iffits a very large room. But that's not vocal performance or delivery. And now I find myself with a metric fuckton of things to say, and all this stuff at arm's reach that records. The first time I recently sat down with my headphones on and listened to my own voice in my own ears while yelling into a dynamic mic I couldn't bring myself to play it back forra month. Now it is part of my immediate future project schedule. Practice of technique will be squashed into the same time alloted for developing a standard EQ and effects chain for my own voice, along with evolving modifications towards distinctiveness. I'm not even sure if actual singing is going to be a part of the vox. I read fast, and speak often the same - being excited about what interests me. I took the advice of my experienced friend when we were recording at his place recently. Slow down. Read slowly. I'm currently taptaptapping this away next to a poster of his fifth or sixth album cover - a drawn rendering offa Baphomet Buddha with colors of chakras front and center. (Itchy Rotten - Grey Majique)
​
​
The standard method of doing anything is usually a good place to start. Its the standard because it works well a majority of the time. And I am ecfuckingstatic to report that its not working for my non-majority ass. In my head that means I'm standing apart from Them. Not necessarily taller. But totes, man, you can tell he's not with Them. Which is cool, because They're awful and repugnant and all the words that describe qualities undesirable. Microphones are sensitive. And they are amazing at what they do. Reading slowly and almost exaggerating pronunciations sounds like someone reading slowly when played back. When I'm compelled to write there's not only an accompanying narrator in my head (which doesn't actually sound like my voice) but audience members or bystanders hit by shrapnel and fishbait commenting and usually complaining. (I am rarely encouraged by compliments. I value the opinion of so few and always have that I've rarely heard them. Almost never do I initiate a conversation with anyone. Even iffa valid reason to do so exists.)
​
​
Having so much to convey is an urgency. Certain of the poems published here only work well and make sense if they're read, animatedly, out loud. I was about to describe them as ' freeform ', but somewhere in my head exists a possibility that many genres of poetry have been identified and categorized and are on file at the Big Virtual Poetry Office. I will make an attempt to check this out before I mislabel my own shit.
​
​
The first thirty or so of my audio compositions were labelled Christian Gangsta Rap assa genre. I saw that assa choice on the drop-down menu in FL Studio's metadata tagging. At once it spoke to me. The Gospel Exposeth Itself. When I first uploaded three tracks to the Internet Archive it put me right next to MosDef. I consider that one of my personal best achievements, like sending a track I made reading some of Andersen Prunty's flash fiction to the author himself and getting an emailed Thank You! I've purchased at least a dozen of his books, and he remains one of my favorite authors. Throwing my first three tracks for permanent archiving out and seeing them land next to MosfuckingDef simply because I tagged them Christian Gangsta Rap I assume, sent a brand-new combination of endorphins coursing. I don't have the ability to describe the feeling that came from seeing that on my screen about ten years ago. Last week I typed [Obblonge] into my favorite web browser, DuckDuckGo. And for the second time that concoction of human made drugs flowed into absorption. By the way, putting brackets around one's moniker issan old school phone book trick. Brackets even come before parentheses and AAA-Amigo bail bonds. And first on your playlist. Then I typed it into Google. Then Bing, which was next tooit on the available options. All three came up with different results and allot of them. I love the band Cake, seen them live, but they have possibly the worst band name ever. Try typing ' cake ' into one of those browsers. Unless you include in your query a comprehensive history of Art in the late twentieth century, you'll never score a t-shirt. (They're usually a yellowish color.)
​
​
6:54am. Alone, in practice, at least. Pictures of Suicide Girls revolving on the screens quickly became extremely depressing. After escaping my parents' house at fifteen I made myself into an irrepressibly happy and loving, sharing person. Recent events over the past years have made that fundamental outlook almost an impossibility. I am trying. I do not know if I will succeed. But I will never let Them win. Even iffi don't as well. There's always options. And sometimes Fuck It! is the correct answer. I have been celibate so long that my body is actively destroying itself in protest. I can feel years being taken off my lifespan. I am sickened by isolation and the miasma is growing in magnitude. Being touched physically by someone, even by accident - someone brushing past inna store aisle - causes intense revulsion, hatred, distrust. I have to clench my jaws to stifle the words, so many and so angry. When I sleep my thoughts are of violence, revenge on Them, or just disassociated scenes of pain, justified. This is new. I have never been this way. I know why. That doesn't help. Solving the problem is what helps. And They are the problem. My relationship to Them. One way of solving this is to dissolve the problematic relationship. In a number of ways this can be accomplished. This is not what I consider the most favorable outcome, for myself or others. So, I am actively, every moment of every minute, calculating the results of different equations. Appeasing Eris forran Eureka! moment.
​
​
No one cares about anyone else, ever, do they?
​
​
I do. I will not abandon those I love.
​
​
Do not despair or complain that your enemy is larger, or more well-equipped, or populous. In the game of O.G.R.E. the two contestants are equally matched, though it doesn't seem that way looking at the board from above, God-like. It is only your perspective, and that of your enemies, that is causing the unbearable tensions. This labyrinth path dead ends. Only a concrete bench here. Try again. And remember, itsa hedge, man. If you reach the outer walls, you can tear your way through the kudzu with your bare hands and teeth.

​
7:30am. Computron shut down. Phone on charger. Naked and tucked away, darkness almost inna corner. A period of rest giving birth to restoration of beauty within. So, it may exist without.
In New Zealand, kudzu was declared an "unwanted organism" and was added to the Biosecurity New Zealand register in 2002.
It is common along roadsides and other disturbed areas throughout most of the southeast. The flowers are used to make a jelly that tastes similar to grape. Nearby bee colonies may forage on kudzu nectar during droughts as a last resort, producing a low-viscosity red or purple honey that tastes of grape jelly or bubblegum. Compounds of icariin, astragalus, and puerarin mitigates iron overload in the cerebral cortex of mice with Alzheimer's disease. The quality of the leaves decreases as vine content increases relative to the leaf content. Saplings are sensitive to mechanical disturbance.
Does your ID declare you assan unwanted organism? Isnt all security biosecurity? Onna scale of 3 to 19, how disturbing is the southeast? Its probably mechanical, isnt it?

2023.08.12 22:30 morgoth669 ALLTY5 REVIEW🔥🔥🔥

I've been a fan of trippie since 2017 and i have to say this is the greatest album trippie ever made, since the release i couldnt stop listening to this masterpiece, i'd like to go in detail about each of the wonderful songs on that album:
TAKE ME AWAY: An amazing opener to the album, trippie with his angelic voice puts the listener in a sort of trance, having some random ass nigga called corbin sing the outro that originated from a different trippie song has proven to be great artistic choice. 9/10
​
LAST DAYS: Trippie creates a melancholic feeling with his voice which perfectly fits together with the repeatability of the lyrics, this shit feels like it would belong in a movie ending, the outro with people talking also fits great with the next song 9/10
​
THY MOTION: The immaculate vibe continues with another masterpiece in a row, the best part is the chorus, he really could not find a better part to use for it. 8.5/10
​
HOW YOU ALIVE: When he started screaming i honestly had to try my hardest to keep the cream in my dick, his voice here just enters my ears in a way i cannot describe with words 9.5/10
​
THINKING BOUT YOU: Trippie changes the tone into a slightly happier one which is a really nice change after the first 4 melancholic ballades and provides another great chorus when i heard the YOUUUUU for the first time i started SCREAMING,😫 9/10
​
PRAYING 4 LOVE: Here trippie provides his vocals to an intriguing, complex amd mysterious instrumental, hearing him sing about his struggles honestly almost made me tear up😭 8.5/10
​
REALITY: His voice on that one honestly puts me into a different dimention, it feels like driving alone in your car on a rainy night after a heartbreak, the build up that ends up leading to nothing is a clever metaphore to how human emotions work 9.5/10
​
A FEELING: Hearing trippie and the love of his life Skye on a track together really is magical😭 its like they were created for eachother 9/10
​
ROMANTIC FANTASY: Slow, romantic, beautiful ballade sang over an climactic beat, PERFECT this shit gave me goosebumps on my balls😭, i really couldnt belive how trippie managed 9 such majestic songs in a row and didint know yet that the best shit didint even came yet... 10/10
​
IM MAD AT ME: Trippie and Wayne pay respect to the legends of the game like Eminem, NF or Logic with that oldschool boom bap shit, really makes you appreciate what Hip-Hop was at the beginning, 8/10
CLOSED DOORS: When the last song ended and the instrumental started playing nothing could prepare me for what i was about to hear, When Trippie started singing with his angelic voice I DONE POPPED A PERKY, WAITIN ON AN ADDY GOT US DOING THINGS WE AINT DONE BEFORE, i couldnt believe it, i started sweating profoundly and hyperventilating but trippie continued his poem, FUCKIN YOU IN MANSIONS, CRIB CAME WITH EXPENSIONS DOIN DIRTY THINGS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, at this point i curled up into a ball on the floor of my room and started crying silently i simply couldnt believe my ears, it felt like God himself materialised in my room and started singing his most beatiful song just for me to hear, i noticed a tingly feeling around my crotch and it was just a matter of seconds before i couldnt hold it in me and creamed my pants with the biggest nut i ever remember releasing, by the time the second chorus rolled in i was just sitting there looking like a demon crawled out from under my bed and sexually assualted me, looking into the void with my wide open eyes and moaning quietly, then Roddy Rich came and while he wasnt as perfect as Trippie he also didint change my current situation, but when the third chorus finished and i was left just with the instrumental i started to feel a certain emptiness, like the god that materialised in front of my earlier just left without a word never to comeback, i couldnt control myself, i was shaking violently and throwing myself angrily in my room until i in my uncontrolled anger and fear started to bounce of all the walls like some fucking demon, after 15 minutes of that shit when i managed to destroy my room and shatter the glass door in my room into a 100 thousand little pieces in what sanity i had left in me jumped on my phone and replayed this heavenly poem, when the instrumental rolled in followed by Trippies angelic voice i slowly started to calm down, i spend the next 4 hours listenting to it on repeat before i managed enough energy to check out the rest of the album, this shit was the greatest song i've ever heard in my life, to say that it was perfect is like to say that trippies feet are nice to look at, teoriticaly the truth but a huge understatement, 11/10
ACTION: when it started i was still high of the CLOSED DOORS shit and honestly couldnt believe i would ever enjoy listening to a song that wasnt it again in my life, but i was fucking wrong, when trippie again started to fuck my ears with his voice on that majestic beat i couldnt help myself but nut again, even through my balls were practically empty at this point, i started to pray and thank god that such a person as Trippie Redd was allowed to live here with us mortals and bless us with his voice straight from the gates of heaven, also im glad that someone in the music industry finally had enough courage to talk about how fucking hot feet are, 10/10
​
LEFT 4 DEAD, Perfect single for the album, it couldnt match the grace of ACTION and CLOSED DOORS but it was still an awesome listening experience, the chorus represents everything that i love in trippies music 9/10
​
Wind: Trippie and some wanna be Justin Bieber nigga join forces to create a fucking heavy metal banger, when the chorus came in i couldnt help myself but headbang and aggressively shake my ass to the rhythm, 10/10
HELICOPTER: this shit got me feeling like i was high from some good shit on the jamaican isles, this tommy lee nigga sounds just like Bob Marley, its also pretty fucking wild hearing trippie on a reggae beat but i loved the final effect, 10/10
​
TOOK MY BREATH AWAY: another song with Skye and Trippie together this shit makes my heart melt 😭 loved the chorus and the gangsta style verses straight from my man trippie redd, i hope they make a tape together in the fututre, 9/10
FLOWERS: slow and very emotional song for contrast really is some good shit, never heard of that Tiller nigga before in my life but he proved that he deserves the place that hes in, i also love the deep meaning of the text, i feel like more honest words were never said by a human before, 9.5/10
​
THE HATE: Collab with Alvin and the chipmunks was the last thing i expected from a trippie redd album but it came out infinitely better then anyone could think, the concept with trippie turning into a chipmunk himself at the end is really fucking clever, 10/10
​

2023.01.19 22:04 nodrugsinthebox We should be pushing collectively for freedom!

Society keeps us confined to a mental cage of being mediocre and average, and we cannot individually do anything. But as a collective we can actually change something, and bring forward a shared way of presenting ourselves. Think of how hip hop changed how black men were seen. They went from being accepted and not exactly hated, to being admired. Collectively they created a behavior which we all can recognize that you call gangsta, or thug or whichever term you feel like. And I feel like doomers can do that for people who are alienated and cast out.
Hippies were doing this already, so we already have a standard we can integrate. And by hippie I don't mean the annoying spaced out stoners, but the real 70s hippies. The ones who stood out, and was who they is even with the world collectively fearing them. Fearing them, not because they were violent or dangerous, but because they could not be controlled. I mean, seen Easy Riders? That's pretty much what the movie is about, and it's a real good movie!
There's so many good things we can, embrace and make a part of our life style. For me I know some ideas that have been central are honesty, courage and rationality. Rationality, as an example is something people pay lip service to and think is good, but not something people actually embrace as a central component of their thinking. Honesty is something similar, something most people think they are good at but when push comes to shove they end up speaking lies. Those are just some core concepts that I've, for lack of a better term, appropriated and made a part of my doomer identity. And there's plenty of oppourtunities like that. Music, movies, books, art, poems etc etc..
Hippies already created an identity of being the truth, and we can be truth as well. And we can create an identity, and a culture which is recognized. Imagine going on a dating app and getting more matches cause you look doomer? That could happen if we present ourselves positive and make a good impression.

2022.05.23 04:50 MarquessOfMayhem Forrest Fenn Killings Continue to Run Rampant

Forrest Fenn Killings Continue to Run Rampant
Fact: Forrest Fenn was quoted as saying he identified with single-shooter mass murderers.
Fact: Since Fenn's death, already high mass shooting rates have SOARED in America.
Fact: Fenn's poem has been linked to Black Dhalia/Zodiac/DBCooper, and others.
​
I believe, as do others, that Forrest Fenn used his treasure story, "The Thrill of the Chase" to attract, teach, and lead others like him, which is why he started his story by referencing Catcher in the Rye.
"As I have gone alone in there loaded bold" -- the harrowing opening line to Fenn's poem, brag of the single-shooter lifestyle Fenn so openly and boldly praises.
Just last week, a single-shooter went ... alone in there ... in BUFFALO NY.
The shooter's attack was described as THE BLAZE:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/15/buffalo-shooting-victims/
​
The details of this case, like so many others, reek of Forrest Fenn guruism and covert commands.
Fenn spoke openly of BUFFALO ... where this shooting took place.
The shooter's BLAZE was aimed at WHITE supremacy. Fenn described his BLAZE as all important ... and WHITE.
--
Another ...
Last month, 23 were wounded in a BROOKLYN mass shooting.

Fenn talked openly of his friend dying at NY on a crosswalk.
Fenn spoke openly of Smoke Bombs.
Forrest Fenn's writings gave instructions on HOW and WHERE to kill.Those instructions are now being followed out to a T by his devotees.
​
It's rumored Fenn planted anagrams and port·man·teau phrases in his poem encoding secret instructions. One such mandate may be found near the poem's end, where Fenn brags:
"Ive done it!" TIRED.
TI_RED.
For Fenn's followers ...
TI identifies the rapper. Red references the song: "Red-E 4 Whateva" -- the lyrics to which read ...
I got a bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you, partnerAye, man, real talk, in order to understand my train of thoughts ...
I broke the law, I deserve to be punished
I had straps in my ride, gotta go to prisonYou waiting on me to die, you gon' be waiting for a minute (yeah)Boy I'm ready for whatever, somebody better tell 'emI be here when the smoke clears and everythin' settles,
​
​
Fenn issued his gang of followers a STAY-IN command in 2020.Fenn's "death announcement" was his "release" command.
Since that time, constant single-shooter attacks have been carried out at his behest,
mandated by both the wording in Fenn's poem, which often references "gangsta rap" lyrics
as well as other commands released on the social media sites Fenn's group runs, which
continue to stay in operation for YEARS after the treasure was found.
​
Another Fenn shooting was carried out just earlier today on a train:

As Fenn even asks in a late Scrapbook ... "when will the madness terminate?"

2022.01.15 19:19 seanderlust Popheads AOTY #9: Tyler, The Creator - CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST

You see
On this here stage tonight is something legendary
He goes by the name of The Creator
But you, you call him Tyler Baudelaire
Artist: Tyler, The Creator
Album: CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST
Tracklist and Lyrics: Genius
Release Date: June 25, 2021
popheads [FRESH] Thread: Here
Listen: Apple Music Spotify YouTube

Introduction: Tyler, The Artist

If you have even tangentially followed hip-hop over the past decade, you have likely heard the name Tyler, The Creator. The California-born artist rose to prominence as a member of the alt-hip-hop musical collective OFWGKTA, Odd Future for short. Odd Future was the jumping off point for several artists who would go on to influence the future landscape of music. Among the folks who are alumni of OF: Tyler, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Jasper Dolphin, The Internet, Domo Genesis, and a number of other heavy-hitters. The collective gained a cult following in the early 2010s and grew from a scrappy young musical start-up to a massive (if extremely controversial) group of some of the biggest musical icons in the 2010s.
 
From the release of his 2009 solo mixtape Bastard, Tyler has consistently challenged the rap world zeitgeist. He was a talented and promising centerpiece of early-2010s rap discussion. In his early years, Tyler courted controversy with his releases - his debut LP Goblin dropped the anti-gay f-slur fourteen times and his music was often misogynistic. His reaction to the critiques was seldom if ever apologetic.
 
With his subsequent two albums, Wolf and Cherry Bomb, Tyler continued to expand his brand of weirdo shock-rap but gradually expanded into new territory - Wolf pulled back the curtain on Tyler as a person against a backdrop of MIDI brass and luxe instrumentals, while Cherry Bomb dipped its toe into the waters of rock with tracks like “Deathcamp”. Cherry Bomb was initially panned by critics and fans alike, but this album would see a positive re-evaluation upon his next two album releases. During this period, he continued to be seen as controversial, as he received a temporary ban from entering the United Kingdom and Australia (the former of which was delivered by none other than Theresa May).
 
This would change, however, upon the release of Tyler’s fourth album Flower Boy. FB was a massive commercial and critical success - the narrative-driven album was met with rapturous critical acclaim and helped change his image from underground odd man out to critical darling nearly overnight. I remember this album coming out and being surprised that outlets like NPR were so effusive in his work. Upon listening, I immediately understood why; the album is chock full of sincere lyricism and gorgeous, lush production that revealed Tyler as a vulnerable, achingly lonely man struggling with his sexuality. It made several year-end best of lists, and was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2018 Grammy’s (losing to Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN., which is understandable and is certainly better than some other choices the Grammy’s have made in recent years - oh hey, speaking of which…). Also want to plug this very sweet moment that came from the Flower Boy album cycle.
 
The album released between FB and CMIYGL was IGOR. Much of the reaction from critics and his fans alike were positive, with many noting that the album seemed to feel like a culmination of his previous works. The album also saw Tyler nominated for a Grammy again, this time winning (for Best Rap Album which…huh. Interesting.) After such an intricate and loving story of heartbreak and vulnerability surrounding a love triangle, the hip-hop world was perched to see what Tyler was going to do next.
 

Album Background

The rollout for this album began with a simple message posted cryptically on billboards - “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST (1-855) 444-8888”. Calling this number, fans were treated to a very fun conversation Tyler had with his mother, which would later go on to be featured in MOMMA TALK. Tyler debuted the ID that would later be featured on the album cover on Twitter. The ID featured his birth date, his hometown, the name “Tyler Baudelaire,” and a couple sentences that read “This is to Certify that the person named and described above is permitted to travel and explore freely unless detained by law. The holder of this license wrote, composed, and arranged all songs within the attached record, unless otherwise stated.” The ID introduced an interesting contrast: the name listed was Tyler Baudelaire, which had prior to this record not been mentioned in any prior work, though the note that he wrote and composed all tracks suggests a very personal record was forthcoming.
 
The cover garnered comparisons to Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Return To The 36 Chambers, which was unintentional but perhaps fitting considering the heavy influence past eras of rap would have on the record. With the success of his past two records, Tyler found himself with more freedom to make the music he was most interested in making with few to no creative restraints. One of the influences he chose to pull from was mid-00s era mixtapes. This can be seen in his centering of DJ Drama, most known for his Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, as narrator and hypeman. Tyler has praised DJ Drama publicly for over a decade. He also features mixtape titans such as Lil Wayne and Pharell and subtle shoutouts to Holidae Season, A Milli, and other mainstays of that bygone era of rap. He also references the early days of Odd Future, with features from Domo Genesis and Frank Ocean.
 
CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST was released on June 25th and was a critical success. It scored an 88 on Metacritic (signaling universal acclaim) and was in the top five in eight mainstream publications’ year end best-of lists. Commercially, the album reached number one on the Billboard 200 but only for one week - one of the only albums released in 2021 to do so. Similar to Cherry Bomb reaction among fans seemed pretty mixed upon release, but some fans (myself included) went on to appreciate the album more as time went on. Where CB was a transformation of his sound, CMIYGL feels more like a culmination of all of his past work - one Redditor commented that “It’s as if every era of Tyler got together and said ‘fuck it let’s make an album.’”.The lyrical and thematic material breached in the album is dense and a lot to unpack upon your first couple listens - multiple people in the HHH thread discussing thoughts one month after release also commented on this. It’s so much that I kind of want to go into a song-by-song in-depth analysis highlighting songs that I think need further inspection…haha jk…unless…????
 

Song Dissection

(Quick note: I’m going to skip a few songs that I don’t have that much to say about, since this is already ten pages in Word. If you don’t see a track you particularly love here, feel free to comment and I’d be happy to expand).
 
SIR BAUDELAIRE (feat. DJ Drama)
 
Two days before CMIYGL dropped, Tyler released BROWN SUGAR SALMON, a skit which fully introduced the name of the character that would come to dominate his forthcoming album - Tyler Baudelaire. Tyler gets an assist from DJ Drama on this opening track in introducing us to Sir Baudelaire (get used to hearing DJ Drama by the way - he shows up often in this LP). The image Tyler portrays is detailed in its luxury - his vest smelling of jet fuel from his private plane, his love of the waters of Geneva (put a pin in that location) and a USB of unreleased tracks being worth a mansion of potential profit - but it also calls back at times to the bootstrapping era of both his early OF days and 2000’s-era mixtapes in general. Also worth noting on this track, we see the return of Tyler’s Wolf Haley alter-ego for the first time since Cherry Bomb. While this may contrast with the Sir Baudelaire persona, it could signal either a time frame for when these events took place, a return to the style of rap that was present during that album, or could just be a callback. If it’s a callback to CB, he also signals that this will be a more refined version - he “Used to be reckless [but] you should see what them commas do”
 
CORSO
 
Our next track is CORSO, the album’s first (of several) bangers with DJ Drama serving as the hype-man. This is where the non-linear plot starts to come into focus - in-between braggadocious boasts about other-other-other-other houses and boat purchases, Tyler Baudelaire lets us in on the heartbreak and vulnerability that underlies the album. “He ain’t talk to his bitch in three days / It ain’t gotta be this way, I’m down for the threesome” and later “in the end, she picked him” reveals that despite his wealth, Sir Baudelaire’s ego is reeling from his love interest choosing another over him. His admission that he “tried to take somebody bitch cause [he’s] a bad person” also hints that there’s a turmoil of character happening, furthered by the closing admission that he “doesn’t even like using the word bitch…it just sounded cool.” In spite of his ability to buy boats and ask DJ Drama himself to drown out his thoughts by turning the noise up, we see Baudelaire unable to flee himself.
 
WUSYANAME (feat. Youngboy Never Broke Again & Ty Dolla $ign)
 
Against a gloriously glossy H-Town sample, Tyler opens this love song with the worst pickup line he could think of, which also doubles as a metaphor for not just her physique but the idea that she isn’t emotionally fulfilled from any relationship she may be in. The lyrics are pitching a daydream to a woman about she and Tyler on a romantic getaway to France. The song gets a boost from its features: DJ Drama, Ty Dolla $ign and the up-and-coming Youngboy Never Broke Again. From start to the ending line (“stop playing and let me pay your momma debt off”), the track is indulgent. It also sets up a few plot points that will reappear later in the album: he warns her that “if you got a man, you should call it off,” and he mentions an openness to an emotional “sit and talk” connection.
 
The music video helps give this song some additional depth. It opens with a monologue of Tyler saying “In California you spend most of your life in cars. Moving, traveling, searching for somewhere to land. I don’t mind tip-toeing across the world for thrills.” He then mentions heading to a function which was the first time Tyler sees a woman he’s attracted to. Tyler raps his verse while following a girl, sometimes getting in front of her and trying to catch her eye. This signals that this track is meant to be a fantasy. Tyler is getting ahead of himself, fantasizing a luxurious jet setting life with this woman and calling her his girlfriend before he even knows what her name is.
 
LUMBERJACK
 
From a smooth ride to a hard-hitting banger, LUMBERJACK gives us one of the most hard-hitting verses on the album. Throughout, Tyler flaunts his wealth and drags his critics. I want to highlight one boast:
 
“I put that bitch on the shelf to let it ventilate And bought another car 'cause I ain't know how to celebrate (Top shelf, n****)”
 
Remember the hook for this song starts immediately with a reference to a car. That mention in contrast to this admission that using material purchases as a means of filling the hole that should be a celebration is interesting.
 
Tyler’s identity as a black man is front and center in the chorus. There’s a wordplay on the slang “whips” for cars in reference to slavery, along with a visual of a black boy hopping out of a luxury Rolls. He also touches on his identity with a subtle reference to his sexuality - “my n**** tall like a bitch, I call him Mulan.” If the person he’s referencing is Mulan, perhaps Tyler is Li Shang.
 
The track includes several nods to 2000’s mixtapes - from the Gangsta Grillz tag to the A Milli reference right off the bat to the role of Jasper and DJ Drama as the background hype men. The track also touches on his personal history - how he used to be an outcast, how people used to think he was funny on the internet but not actually consume his music and how there was controversy when he won the Grammy in 2019 due to his past. Now he’s able to reference his net worth by listing six zeroes…no wait…seven.
 
MASSA
 
We’ve spent the last six tracks detailing the lap of luxury, so the opening lines that “Whatever brings you that immense joy, that’s your luxury” immediately signals a switch. MASSA’s hook starts with a line celebrating Tyler’s financial freedom, painted against the backdrop of America’s history of slavery. However, the first hook ends abruptly with Tyler sounding exasperated, like he’s tired of showboating. Like it’s beginning to feel empty. If the first verse of this track feels different, that’s because it is - Tyler here is reflective, commenting on how his style has changed and he’s grown from his raunchier Odd Future-era roots - but maybe his detractors haven’t. His recounting of his history builds through the critical acclaim and commercial success of Flower Boy and mentions that his first single helped his mom move out of Section 8 housing before coming to a climactic rebuke of the government taxing him without helping families who might also be struggling in Section 8 housing:
 
“Eight figures in taxes taken, that shit is stupid / A Flower gets its petal, they pluck it, but never use it / It's still potholes in the schools, where does it go?”
 
His take on this aspect of wealth is interesting. It’s not that Tyler has a problem with taxes, it’s that that money isn’t used to help kids who grew up in similar circumstances. In California if he makes $10M in a year (seven zeroes), he would be taxed $1.21M which could be used to send about 86 kids to school for an entire school year. Or you know, it could cover about ¼ of the price of one of these unmanned fighter jets. Guess what the US tends to budget for.
 
With verse two and with a question from DJ Drama - “how far you really wanna take it?” - we get more honest. He confesses to using material purchases for escapism (“Yeah, I purchase more wheels when I feel like I'm third-wheelin'”), finding a lack of fulfillment in personal relationships (“I'm on the hunt for perfect but decent is what I been on / I know she fell in love, but commitment is not my end goal”), his personal turmoil over his sexuality (“We ain't gotta pay attention to the stuff that he battles / Everyone I ever loved had to be loved in the shadows / Tug-of-war with X and Y felt like a custody battle”), and his feeling unable to trust anyone (“I'm paranoid, I sleep with a gun”). It seems like Tyler Baudelaire is trying to out-run quite a bit. As a sidebar, the turmoil over his sexuality in real life also happened while he was at the apex of his critical acclaim - after his coming out on Flower Boy, some critics floated the idea that he was just trolling or trying to cover up his past controversy, which is wildly gross in hindsight. For some nuanced thoughts on this regarding queer identity in hip hop, I recommend this article from Crack Magazine.
 
MASSA is ultimately about the tension between freedom and constraint. Tyler pushes against the walls of the box he has been put in as he has grown as an artist and person but fans and critics alike struggle to let the Bastard era go.
 
MANIFESTO (feat. Domo Genesis)
 
Tyler, The Creator doesn’t like being told what to do. On MANIFESTO, this is clear as Tyler reflects on his growth as an artist and as a person since the scrappy beginning of his career. In the early days, Tyler gained notoriety oftentimes not just through his talent, but through the controversial topics he discussed through both his art and his internet persona (in this song he makes direct reference to Tweeting some pretty gross things at Selena Gomez, for which he apologized in person and here seems pretty embarrassed by the incident). That said, he’s come a long way as an artist, maturing as a person while in the limelight and still making art.
 
In MANIFESTO, he teams up with Domo Genesis, another OF alum, to reflect on the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others at the hands of a cruel and prejudiced society. Oftentimes, he will feel pressure from well-meaning online activists to speak up on behalf of the Black community on social issues; he has also received less well-meaning feedback as such from his critics. He’s not alone - Kendrick Lamar received criticism for his silence during the George Floyd protests (which uh…stream To Pimp A Butterfly). He discusses his solidarity with BLM but his unwillingness to pander, especially at the demands of Twitter, and he also confesses that his shocking persona gets in the way of his ability to craft a sincere and heartfelt message on these topics. The controversy he’s stirred up in the past injects fear into him of saying the wrong thing and simultaneously a fear of not doing enough. Instead, he chooses to attend the protests, donate money, and do his best to stand with and uplift today’s Black youth. This isn’t the first time he’s done that - he mentioned in Flower Boy his desire to “Tell these black kids just to be who they are.” He ends the song expressing his stance: the Black community is “done with the pain and the grievin’,” a solid statement of standing with his community to say unequivocally, Black Lives Matter.
 
SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE (feat. Brent Faiyaz and Fana Hues)
 
This gorgeous 8-minute story of love lost continues the trend of Tyler’s tenth tracks being two-parters. There's also a noticeable switch in style from this point forward on the album - where the first half pulled stylistically from 2000's-era mixtapes, the back half feels much more in line with Flower Boy and IGOR. The first part, SWEET, has a dreamy feel - gorgeous synths arpeggiate over a soft drumbeat and Tyler crooning about his love interest being as sweet as sugar. The opening contains Tyler trying to convince her to make something up to her lover so the two of them can get away, with DJ Drama mentioning they’re “still on the boat.” While this part feels like a standard love song, worth noting that there are a few aquatic metaphors here besides the boat - how he would love her even if she “left him stranded,” (hmm…’if’...), mentioning the bridge of the song, and the intro including a mention of a waterfall. He also refers to her as the Sun since her smile shines so bright.
 
The second part, I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE, gets us closer to the album’s main plotline. In a song highly reminiscent of 70s reggae, Tyler teams with Fana Huez during the first two verses to sing about heartbreak. Fana’s verse highlights the main tension of the album:
 
Honestly, it's all about the timing, yeah (Yeah, yeah) I ain't mean to lead you on, because Him and I got some things that we're trying But my energy belongs to you
The third verse is all Tyler’s. His delivery is heightened emotionally and at one point the line he delivers is interrupted by a frustrated scream that also fits the song’s reggae vibe. He details how he fell for a girl who has a man and she chose her partner over Tyler and he’s left to feel out of control and with a severely bruised ego. Both of them end the song singing about how they still feel for each other, and the biggest problem is the bad timing. He’s left canceling photoshoots and smoking joints (which is out of character for Tyler who is famously straightedge) and not sleeping and staring at old photos of the two of them, but in the process he leaves us with one of the highlight tracks on the album.
 
WILSHIRE
 
Here we go. This eight-minute song which details the main story of CMIYGL was recorded in one take on what Tyler himself describes as a “shitty hand-held mic,” which distorts the vocals in a way that adds to the atmosphere. The story is that Tyler meets a girl at a dinner and immediately sparks fly. He mentions them “eye-fucking” at the event, which contextualizes previous track WUSYANAME. The emotional connection is intense, and at the end of a first day of hanging out they share that they have feelings for each other, but the girl is seeing someone else. They stay friends but that emotional connection never leaves. While they never “cross the line,” they still act fairly shady by agreeing to delete their conversations and having private conversations. Tyler explicitly expresses that this man is his friend and Tyler doesn’t want to hurt him, but lowkey he hopes that the two of them break it off. In an interlude between verse three and four, we get an important adlib:
 
You know, I got every damn car, multiple cribs But it's like, "No, I want that," ha
 
Verse four, the final verse, reads as a stream-of-consciousness passage overflowing with mixed, complicated emotions. They spend time together, and continue a very deep intimate emotional connection while just remaining “friends,” but it’s clear her boyfriend senses something is wrong. She explains she also has feelings for Tyler, but she doesn’t want to hurt her boyfriend (neither does Tyler, remember). They meet again but this time her lips are dry and the energy is off. They have a tough conversation and decide it’s best if they don’t remain friends which emotionally devastates Tyler. He spends an hour crying, sleeps poorly and has to spend the next day with his bodyguard to make sure he doesn’t do anything rash. It’s clear he’s hurt and angry but he concludes by admitting that he can’t think poorly of her. And then:
 
On God, I love that girl, f— mhm I'm a sh— I'm a bad person, like, I'm in the wrong, I'm a bad person I had no ill intentions, though Shit, everybody got hurt I got hurt, bruh … I ain't mean to fuck nobody's shit up, man I thought I was bulletproof She proved me wrong, man … But it was, it was bad timing
 
SAFARI
 
We end here on a high note. SAFARI is an ode to travel and a celebration of how well Tyler has done in his life delivered over triumphant-sounding MIDI horns and keys which are again reminiscent of WOLF. The title SAFARI also underlines something we will cover in the Motifs section: the entire point of a safari is the experience of a new place, to take in the nature that surrounds you, rather than any material thing you can walk away with. Also worth noting this passage for the Motifs section:
 
Fuck all the chains and the cars, get a passport /See the world, open your eyes 'til your back hurt / N—-s get bread and won't leave, shit is backwards / Start with your feet, then a car, then an airport / Get out your bubble gum
 
The album ends abruptly with Tyler’s last word on the album being “Wolf.” DJ Drama sees us out with a commentary on the abruption - “and just like that/we out.”
 

Motifs

Watesun
 
You’ve likely noticed multiple references to water, boats, and a lake in Geneva, Switzerland. The main plot in the album- the emotionally electric connection between Tyler and his love interest - is metaphorized as a yacht trip on a lake in Geneva, Switzerland. It’s important that the yacht trip takes place in Switzerland, as Switzerland is a) a foreign destination, tying back into the larger travel theme, and b) a landlocked country. Even if he wanted to drift into the open waters with this girl, he can’t; it’s a lake, and there’s only really so far you can go with it.
 
More directly and more poignantly, perhaps the best clarification of this metaphor for falling in love is said by Tyler himself on the interlude of SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE:
The plan was to stick my toe in and Check the temperature, but Next thing I know, I'm I'm drownin'
 
Another natural motif is the sun. The first lyrics we hear on CMIYGL are “The sun’s beaming.” DJ Drama adds to this later on SIR BAUDELAIRE, by mentioning how “this music for the sunseekers.” The sun motif means multiple things- it references the sunny weather one might travel to (which would make the travelers sunseekers), but in SWEET Brent Faiyaz’s interlude references the sun not being as brilliant as his love interest is. I think in general, the sun represents opportunity. The opportunity to travel and see the world, the possibility of a brilliant emotional connection, the things that can happen when you dance to your own drum in the sunlight (or follow your own path) like Tyler does in MANIFESTO.
 
Money and what to do with it
 
Flower Boy opened with a series of questions, the first of which being “How many cars can I buy 'til I run outta drive?” Similarly, cars play a prominent role on CMIYGL, though rarely in a positive light: when he won a grammy he admits on LUMBERJACK he “bought another car because [he] ain’t know how to celebrate,” and the car came with an umbrella which would prove useless in rainless California; he laments his cars are “collecting dust” because he has so many of them on LEMONHEAD, and in the music video for JUGGERNAUT, Tyler delivers his heavy verse atop a classic car with gigantic wheels that are so impractical that he has to physically pull the car with a rope to get it to move.
 
Cars are an interesting example of a phenomenon I noticed. This album is rich with braggadocio rap, a style of rap arguably as old as the genre itself. The most unequivocally positive flexes, though, are more centered around experiences than material goods - think to his focus on traveling with the girl on WUSYANAME, his invitation to come get lost with him on BLESSED, or how “my passport is the most valuable” thing he owns. Some of the most triumphant flexes concern how stamped up his passport is.
 
Further, throughout the album, Tyler seems pretty disillusioned with his ability to buy things - it seems to feel empty to him. Consider the Ai Weiwei bowl mentioned in LEMONHEAD - it’s not really meant as a flex even though it’s certainly expensive. He also admits he “buy[s] more wheels when [he] feel[s] like [he’s] third-wheeling” according to MASSA. Even the chorus of RUNITUP!, which feels like it should be the most triumphant flex of material wealth, sees Tyler admitting he’s “running out of shit” to buy for himself, impressively managing to flex and be burnt out at the same time. All of this to me ties into one of the album’s central theses: that you will ultimately get more value from travel and collecting experiences than collecting cars or any other classical method of stunting. Buying things for the sake of buying them will eventually lose its luster - the freedom to chase the sun, to fly out to different countries, to get out of your bubble, or to put a bike rack on your car so you can go biking? The happiness from that lasts a lifetime.
 
Identity (Personas/Sexuality/Past Controversy)
 
Tyler is no stranger to personas: he has used characters Wolf Haley, Ace The Creator, Tron Cat, and Igor in past works (among others). Even his stage name, Tyler, The Creator, is a pseudonym derived from his early days on Myspace. In CMIYGL, he adopts the persona Tyler Baudelaire, named for Charles Baudelaire, a French poet who pulled from romanticism (emotion and individualism). He put out Les Fleurs du Mal which thematically touched on decadence and romanticism. Baudelaire’s poems also put travel and desire for the infinite at the forefront of his subject matter. Worth noting - Baudelaire was a very controversial figure in his time and was kind of O.G. canceled - you know, legally prosecuted as an affront to public decency. Given the controversy that Tyler has seen during his career and how well these themes line up with the themes present in CMIYGL, the name makes sense.
 
Frequently in his art, Tyler uses personas as a means of exploring what’s truly happening to Tyler Okonma the person. On IGOR, he used Igor as a persona to explore his own heartbreak. Similarly here, he uses Charles Baudelaire, a distinguished man dripping in excess and wealth, to explore a different heartbreak and his disillusionment with his own wealth. This persona named for a romantic poet offers him the chance to be more sincere than he otherwise would be on the effects of his heartbreak. This mixing of Tyler and his personas can sometimes seem at first to obscure who he is as a person - this is one of the reasons Tyler’s sexuality remains vague. I would argue though that through adopting these personas, Tyler can be more honest about the events that really happen while getting at universal truths and emotions that we can all recognize.
 
Aesthetics
 
I would be remiss if I didn't give a shoutout to Tyler's aesthetics. Tyler is very particular and consistent with his visuals in every era and CMIYGL is no exception. Tyler is a master of attention to detail - see exhibit A: this live performance of MASSA where his fingernail paint matches the background set pieces. This era, Tyler's music videos call back to 60s-70s movies, complete with transparent green screen usage and grainy visuals. Tyler's fashion during this era showcases a lot of furs and sweaters, and pulls a lot from his clothing line. He also mentions in his interview with Fast Company that he pulls inspiration from "old men in like France and like the illest five-year-olds" because of their carefree way of wearing exactly what they want outside of social expectations. As a sidebar - I would be a bad fan if I didn't take a moment to plug both Golf Wang and Golf le Fleur.
 
Getting lost (The multiple meanings of the title)
 
Finally - what does CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST really mean? It doesn’t seem like he’s offering us directions to Geneva. Getting lost might refer to the album structure - it’s not entirely clear when these events happen, and the narrative is a bit meandering in both time and subject matter. Getting lost also could reference travel. This seems particularly likely since Tyler invites us to “get lost with him” on BLESSED. It could be a request to the girl - if she feels lost in where her relationship with her man is going, he could be asking her to think of him. What I personally choose to believe, though, is that “call me if you get lost” is an invitation to freedom from Tyler himself. It’s clear he’s found himself lost several times in his life, but throughout, Tyler encourages us to experience new things and perhaps in getting lost, finding ourselves anew.
 

Conclusion

As I mentioned previously, this album grew on me as I got lost (pun intended) in it and dissected it more closely. It ended up being one of my favorite records of the year. It feels like a culmination of all the themes and styles T has explored during his career. It has been a blessing to be able to watch him blossom from a young kid making shocking but catchy art to a fully-fleshed out artist making some of the most impressive music in hip-hop and R&B and music in general today. If his rise to the tippy top is still coming, I am absolutely perched to see what comes next for Mr. Baudelaire, AKA the Creator, AKA Wolf Haley, AKA the world-renowned, well-traveled, wildly talented musician Tyler Okonma.
 

Discussion Questions

  • What was your first take on CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST? Has your opinion of the record or individual songs since changed?
  • What’s your favorite song off the album? Do you have any standout moments (like the ones the Creator himself has highlighted?)
  • What do you think the album title means?
  • Where does this album fall within his discography? What references or influences from other Tyler eras did you catch in this album?
  • If you could travel anywhere in the world and expense was not an issue, where would you go?
  • What would you like to eat?

2021.11.05 00:39 Rid-Dler 24M, I love writing long ass letters.

Hey, I am 24 year old bisexual guy from Mumbai, India. I recently shifted here and it's been very hard making friends because of the work from home situation. I have always liked the idea of writing letters to people. If you are from India, I can write you snail mails and for others, email will be fine. I really love learning about other cultures from around the world because I have never been out of my country.
I am finance grad, love writing poems and stories. My music taste is all over the place, from K-pop to Gangsta Rap to Indie Alt bands, I listen to all. Hit me up if you want to be friends.

2021.07.22 09:48 katiethebohemian My wild love went riding.

Dear bambino/ Remembering you in 2016 on the wards with your scrubs rolled up at the bottom, looking like a beautiful wild thing, talking about your ancestors, I come alive completely in your presence, the excitement I would feel every time you entered the room, your top manly voice, your melodious and hearty laugh, me asking you do I make you nervous, reading you the poem funeral blues, oh the prophecy in that, me telling you how horrible sanity was. I miss you, I want to talk to you for years. The daydreams for days last year of living in Budapest with you, me a changeling, a beautiful death witch in a velvet maroon dress and plum lips, imagining you in Szechenyi baths, I love you rising out of water, wild bohemian nights with you and soirees, paint on my breasts, painting all night, my first exhibition ‘nighttime things’ and playing gangsta rap and dancing in the kitchen, white dresses and guitar playing in Erzsébet tér with all our friends. Parading down kiraly in a black cape in the middle of winter, you looking after me in Hungarian psych wards as I distinguish light from dark.

2021.05.21 15:16 longfuckingwait We Are Retards! We Buy The Dip, We Buy The Rise, We Hold It All. This Is Not Normal - We Are Cyborg Gangstas

The hedgies had us figured out. We'd buy through their shitty platforms, they'd short the share immediately. We'd see the dip - think, "this is a bad stonk" - and cash out. This happened, it turns out, without the platforms even buying the underlying, in some cases. They'd short the fuck out of retail investments, drop the price and keep the change.
Yet, truly, we are retards. They weren't prepared for this level of retardation. It makes no sense to them. It rises, we buy. It dips, we buy. We are the fuckin' TERMINATOR. We don't stop. We are programmed to never, ever stop. And that makes us unbeatable. Our risk profile is retarded. Our resilience is retarded. Our diamond hands are retarded. This is not how hedgies believe we should play the game.
To those who are getting emotional: Emotions will kill our momentum. Is the Terminator emotional? Fuck no, he's not. He's a fucking robot who never quits, never surrenders, and never taps out of his mission. We are a swarm of Terminators. We aren't playing by the hedge-fund rules. We aren't scared. We aren't shaken. We aren't acting in ways the hedge funds can profit from. And they are shitting themselves. They are done. They have lost.
RETARD LESSON 1 of 1:
The value of our shares right now is in quantity, not market value. QUANTITY. That's all that matters. If your quantity is decreasing then you are playing into hedgie games and you are not being a cyborg gangsta. If your QUANTITY is increasing, you are being the Terminator with Citidel in your sights.
Increase your QUANTITY of shares. That is your mission. Nothing else matters. That is how retarded we are. $5, $10, $50, NO MATTER. QUANTITY is King. Keep adding more shares. Here is the quantity poem for retard apes:
1 share good,
2 share better,
buy more shares,
price no matter
Enjoy your damn tendies soon. LFG

2021.05.10 21:30 Dry_Waltz_9399 Charlie B.

​
Oh hey
It’s me.
Charles Bukowski.
But how? See?
You thought I was dead. I was not.
I was merely asleep behind that fern.
No. Shit. That’s no fern,
it’s a Viburnum Trilobum.
Jesus. I fucking hate myself. Breaking
sentences makes
words seem
deeper.
​
MORNING cunts,
it’s me- Charlie. See?
Don’t scream-
I’m not dead
I just slept in a little and awoke to discover Johnny Depp
had shot what
he thought was me out of a cannon.
​
What a gaudy, over-tall, bag-of-bones that melt-faced pretend-pirate is.
I am sickened by his tribute. Though he remains
my best friend.
The best friend
of me, Charles Bukowski
​
I used to be a mailman you know.
​
It is later that I realize that I have confused myself with
Hunter S Thompson
for a seventh time, and , while I am proud to have avoided death.
I feel bereft at having lost a best friend; Johnny before ever meeting him. I pen 4 poems in sadness before clarity strikes me.
This is GOOD.
I won't have to worry about Depp firing my remains into the night in some sort of tawdry tropospheric display of self-pitying public grief.
There will be no one to grieve me!!! Not a soul!!!
‘Perfect!’ I call out to no one, as I begin writing the first of 17 poems.
​
‘I am a magnificent island and no,
you do not have a visa.
I am THE Island of Charles Bukowski!!!’
​
Oh HEEEYYY!!!
Who wants to puff battery acid with
ol’ gangsta Bukowski?
AKA ME! BLAT!
TokeTokeToke WHOAAAAA GEEE.
Why am I in a tree?
Why am I in the sea?
Why can I not see?
Shit that acid was strong.
I his gon blind
Pleese leve.
​
Oh HEEEYY, it’s Bukowski
I’m the sick man, that’s me.
I’m finally home with my Hennessy.
P.S. I can SEE.
As I rolled on the floor, searching for sight,
I became erect at my own suffering and committed
right there and then
to wank
myself to death.
I resolved to wank myself right into heaven
but my final magnanimous act of
self-brutalization merely
caused my vision
to return
upon ejaculation.
​
The irony is not lost on me. Bukowski.
​
My sight returned as 25-25 vision-
the strongest human sight ever recorded.
Me! Bukowski.
I spot a hawk in
the distance.
The hawk does
not spot
me.
​
I’m C Bukowski.
I’m mad, me.
I’ll throw this sandwich
and take the fucking head
clean off that
duck.
See!!??
I miss.
I attempt to bond with the bird.
I tried keeping an acid tab on my nose
for a month once
I explain,
but the mallard appears neither
moved nor
interested.
17 days in, I forgot and took a shower.
-MALLARD NOTHINGNESS-
6 hours. 6 hours. Naked. Crouched. Cupping
water into my mouth
without any discernible high.
A bad day.
A bad day for me-
Bukowski.
​
I am ignored by the duck as I have recently
thrown a sandwich at its head.
​
This I understand.
This I get.
But you don’t get me… I say,
no-one does,
and the mallard looks up,
and the mallard stares,
and I am it
and it is
me.
Me. Charlie B.
Charles Bukowski.
;
D. Fitzgerald.
