- The Ghost~Pop Tape is a dark, vulnerable masterpiece that shows how talented JPEGMAFIA was even 9 years ago.

i was one of devon’s three fans at one point. i’m honestly the person that got /mu/ adjacent people into him. there was no lonelier experience in my life than loving this album more than anything else and having 95% of the scrobbles on it, but no one to talk to about it. i literally invested my own money in him to get more people to take TGPT seriously. this album is such a special piece of art for me. thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Lastfm link or it didnt happen
You are a real one my friend
@@djbe916 right
I was one of the other three. Were you the last guy too? lmao
And then everyone clapped
u r a fking hero bro
Discovering the Devon Hendryx discography was absolutely magical. It was like stumbling onto a goldmine
literally
A pretty dark and gloomy goldmine probably 😂
this album feels like being all depressed and lonely but having a weird relationship with someone even more depressed than you that lives 24/7 in their home and only calls you for sex: at the same time that person is developing emotional dependency to you, so you need to choose betweed continuing to have the only interesting thing about your life or losing it
thats awfully specific
You talk about this like it's some sort of aesthetic.
@@Wackaz fr
Relatable
lol why is this kinda accurate
8:54
Missed a pretty good point about the sex thing
He literally uses porn for the percussion
That's what the heavy breathing is
And the snare is a ass slap.
Truuu
Can't wait till he redrops this project soon
honestly, i feel like it’s gonna lose what makes it so special. idk i feel like it would lose its vintage feeling. for me ig
@@ivonaive the remake might make it sound better maybe even more vintage
@@needanewsandwich2359 let’s hopw
He said he’s been working on it a month ago
he droped it
This album and deathconsciousness to me both portray depression in a way that’s so uncomfortably accurate but cathartic to know there’s artist who feel the same way and understand that pain. I’m so happy to see Peggy is doing a lot better now and found an audience, dude deserves every bit of love and attention he gets ❤
hi there. I love deathconsciousness and other projects of dan barret but Im having a hard time liking this one.
The moaning noises in untitled 3 isn’t porn but it’s from a anime I think English dub of ghost stories. It’s one of the characters getting upset at her office job and groaning out of frustration. That’s also where the beeping noises come in as being just printer noises and stuff.
Ofc is ghost stories bro
i hope after peggy releases the remaster he gets more recognition on his old works / DeVon hendryx era projects. GPT is a masterpiece but wouldn’t have been possible without rockwood and joechillworld, both of which are incredibly well-made. And also heart emoji - my personal favorite of his entire discography
Exploring Peggy's more obscure, earlier works after I finished his discography back in 2020 was an awesome trip.
@@Wackaz i wanna listen to the whole thing
2.5 million on call me maybe off and half a million streams on Sakura and he posted the GPT remaster 5 days ago 👍
Well he just did
Once peggy remasters and releases it on streaming platforms it's gonna blow him up even more. Peggy is my fav artist and this music needs to be heard by more people.
I wish this was the case. I hate that he wasn't able to release TGPT under JPEGMAFIA on Spotify so now it'll fly under the radar for any one not familiar with him.
Easily my favourite album of all time, thanks for covering it
vizzo
he finally remastered and released on streaming platforms! even dropped some merch along with it, cds,cassettes, vinyls, even a usb lmao
The chorus of Porn For Percussion is taken from the Lostprophets song Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja. The singer of Lostprophets, Ian Watkins, was imprisoned for possession of cp and animal porn as well as conspiring with a woman to abuse a baby. Dark shit.

I had always suspected it but now with this video i can finally confirm it: only depressed people can get this album. Sucks that i love my life as is
Lucky
I am not depressed and I got the album, you just gotta understand emotions.
ITS FINALLY ON STREAMING + PHYSICAL GOD BLESS US ALL
Best album ever, been waiting for someone to make a video on it for so long
Love that album cover
It’s the most Peggy album cover ever
Amazing video been listening since 2018 it’s great to see how much popularity it’s gotten since then much love to everyone
I interpret neon kitchen as being his tiny sliver of happiness he has left, and how he sees neon lights all around him symbolizing the temporary happiness depressed people experience
Also at 2:37 you mentioned call me maybe being the only devon hendryx song on streaming services, but that actually isnt true. "The 27 club" from The Rockwood Escape Plan was actually remixed and put on black ben carson, so its the other one available :)
so was basicbitchteargas. it was a bonus track on ghost pop tape with the name BBTG (2011 demo ) and was remixed (or maybe fully redone) for all my heroes are cornballs
best album ever imo. ive been waitinf for a vid on it
great video, love the editing! best breakdown of this album i’ve seen or read. and i didn’t know about the hbk interpolation, that’s really cool to know, no surprised at all it came from wrestling!
im glad someone else sees how great this album is
There is nothing Peggy has done wrong, not even from his early days
The song Sakura is so devastating bro
Godly video. For a long time I've wanted to see someone else verify my opinion that this album is beautiful in a way that goes deeper than discussion of the production. I've always believed that this project was better experienced than explained, but you've done the impossible (at least in my eyes). TGPT is a true work of art, and seeing this recognition be found in your video sincerely made me happy. The explanation of God Bless My Homegirls makes a lot of sense to me now, and I think it was incredibly smart. Same goes with the WWE sample at the end of Call Me Maybe.
The symbolism of 'neon' is certainly confusing, but after watching your video I scrambled to have a deeper look at the lyrics. I think it could just be a blanket term for anything that brings Peggy comfort but also harms him. Porn, I guess? Not fully sure, but here's my thought process:
Neon's shown to be something that's at the forefront of Peggy's mind at all times of the day, which mirrors the effects of a porn addiction. It's a world he is completely consumed in, yet does not wish to change his behavior. At the end of the song when he mentions it getting cut out of him, he goes on to have a fun day with his friends and eats a nice meal.
Something to note that I found interesting was that Porn for Percussion used to be called Maladaptive Daydreams (see Gen Y^5), which ties into the idea of him longing to be with someone, so much so that it distracts him from the rest of his duties. It could also be interpreted that 'wanting a girl to take him outside' could be a metaphor for wanting a reason to kill himself that cannot be solely motivated by Peggy.
Man, this album is so fucking layered. Keep up the good work!!!
I like the interpretations. Thank you
I think in my opinion Neon Kitchen 4 specifically is about a dream world. he mentions how neon makes him comfortable in the first lines and after a few lines he says "neon DREAMS I live for" which happened after saying he passed out on antidepressants (zoloft). I didn't really explain it well but it feels like this whole adventure in a dream.
Edit: basically neon means anything in his dream world
OHHHHHHHH yeah most def
@@priere_ oh and he says on the first neon kitchen that it was the result of a vision too
so obvious....
much love for making this mane (and ACTUALLY saying his name correct lol). i remember back in 2019 when there was barely any comments or people talking bout this stuff at all. crazy how far its come
Was able to find a place to stream TGPT video in under a minute. I'm half way through and all I can really say about it is "yo! COACH!".
Couldn't agree more this album is literally on of the greatest albums of all time its like an opera
HELL YEAH, THIS ALBUM IS GREAT
ive been saying for years how good this album is, hopefully the remaster is comin soon
When you're high this album sounds like a concert or theatre performance in front of you... A Shakespearean R'N'B Tragity
The Quasimoto instrumental in the background 🤝
I stumbled across this album in 2020,changed the trajectory of my life
I feel like devon used “neon kitchen” to emphasize a perfect clean life with no mess ups and sadness
Well he released the remaster and og to streaming finally
this album is the definition of self isolation you can feel it in his cover of call me maybe
amazing vid bro
"Crumming in audio form" is the best explanation of this album. I personally imagine that crumming is the reason he made the ghost pop tape movie, and why he added so much porn into his early videos.
Remaster is out!!!
Its not good sadly
sucks ass!!!
i haven't gotten a chance to sit down and really enjoy this record, but i went to a mall in a different town in my state and found all of his records at newbury comics, including this one. it was a surreal moment to me, as i had only found AMHACB which my girlfriend owns. i picked up LP since its my favorite record by him, but seeing this weird ass cover in person reminded me of the album and i've been wanting to really give it a chance
I'm so glad you made this video definitely one of my favorite tapes of all time
This album really reminds me of the song "what you need" by the weeknd
amazing video bro, really like ur commentary and explanation of these tracks, makes me have a whole new appreciation for this album and peggy as a whole
clicked and liked instantly 🌞
great video man. explained very well and gave new ideas and theories I've never thought of before.
Hope you are doing well baby
Dreamcast Summer Songs is my fav peggy project. It is quite literally since i left you part 2. Reminiscent of DJ shadow too
thanks for doing a video on this masterpiece and not being the 1386th person to do a video of "veteran so crazy" lol
Guys he remastered it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I feel like neon kitchen refers to the dream of luxury. I mean if I was in the military I’d be dreaming of marble floors and a neon kitchen too
9:50 I'd say that he's talking about a weed farm because farmers often use neon lights during the procedure and yk drug dealers call their cooking/farming spot a kitchen.
nice to see this album finally getting dissected
Anyone else now feel like they need to show someone the last 40 years of wrestling before they can show someone JPEGMAFIA?
I believe thatr the neon in neon kitchen is supposed to be the internet. And how everything in his life revolves around the internet. "In my world I'm still king
My Neon crown is shining" could also reference how online he is the better version of himself.
i know how pretentious this sounds and ik i’m just bitter but i rmr like 3-4 years ago this album only had like 250-300 purchases on bandcamp. the whole devon hendryx discog felt so special and mysterious. the only artist i can compare it to is finding all the james ferraro side projects. but somewhere down the road idk if it blew up on tik tok or what but it seemingly got a massive boost in popularity. the album was so special to me and genuinely still is but especially after the remaster came it it definitely lost a lot of its appeal to me.
It’s basic instinct, not saying it’s good but it’s normal
He finally released it oficially on streaming services
this is the best video ever on youtube
And now he's one of the best (if not the best) rapper out there
Update: he performed call me maybe at UC Berkeley
I never knew this album was considered one of the first vaporwave albums
it isn’t
thank youuu there isnt nearly enough content out there about this
I’ve always though of neon kitchen 4 being him doing drugs to try to be happy, but the in call me maybe the drugs where off and he’s at a low again,
had to come back since the remaster finally dropped
bru i found your channel by seeing that lil b is subbed to you, also i have the movie on drive if you need it
Yooo I didn’t know that until I read this comment tybg
subbed, this was fantastic
i actually believe that Sakura is supposed to be right after O Superman because it fades into it perfectly
one of the best underground youtubers
just finshed watching the movie. Man
hbk is so beautiful, love that song so much
DREAMCAST IS GOATEDDDDDDDDD
Just dropped the remastered version last year
finally someone made this video
Ayo bro btw I have the movie so if any wants it just tell me and I’ll sent it to you
(I’ll make a Google drive)
Yo can I get it
I want it too
Fosho gang
drive.google.com/file/d/1stx1oiYOgH3RTEDF4GnnGURUlLcbcskD/view?usp=share_link
It's on internet archive anyway
I love your channel name and intro.
I’m a big Cannibal O + the X fan
great video, TGPT is so good
Have you ever considered doing a video on dalek? Seems right up your alley. Specifically from filthy tongues of God's and griots
Im sorta disappointed I didnt get to listen to listen to this stuff on streaming. I saw it was on apple music for a bit, but he's removed it since, and im disappointed more people wont get to here it there. But maybe that means the remaster is coming or he decided it wasn't something he wanted many others to see.
You must be happy now!
he plans to remaster it but that kinda takes away all the charm
maybe he'll do it in a way to keep the charm? who knows
it might not be a twin fantasy face to face style remaster, maybe just some extended songs and it finally being on streaming services
He’s definitely creative and smart enough as a producer (considering he’s the best producer ever) to still keep that charm
Love to see a vid on JOECHILLWORLD
Or just Peggy in general
8:40 i interpret it as he doesnt fw fat girls
"inspired by his birth certificate" made me giggle
Called this happening a year ago and you can’t take that away from me
I hate people like this who listen to the music instead of feeling it. U dont get it
Nice quasimoto beat
i found the ghost pop tapes movie on reddit. i had to follow a very long string of links and now have like 15 reddit tabs open. but i found it.
That a Cannibal Ox intro? Between them and Peggy, great taste.
Baka No Test sample lmaooo. Flipping that to be dark is insane
The Ghost~Pop Tape is a Masterpiece,
yes, yes indeed
the ghost pop tape movie can be found on the internet archive
the movies is...... damn
Sakura mt favorite track but I also love liara and bubblegum crisis
1:47 it's cool shit but no bro Daniel Lopatin still has every right to claim spawning vaporwave, with Games also arguably being a pioneer too. at that point we may as well call Viper, or any other Plunderphonics artist around that time with that kinda source material the progenitor, and Peggy doesn't have any more right to that claim
truuueeeeee
excellent album that perfectly depicts loneliness
I’ve listened to the last song like a million times and can’t figure out how people hear him killing himself
whats the video of peggy playing ps3 in the background called?
ghost pop tape movie is fucking vile
great album tho
What’s in it if you feel comfortable sharing
@@BIGBADNEWS dont know if u found it yet but its on internet archive
@@BIGBADNEWSI’m pretty sure there’s a lot of sex in it, along with vomiting
MYA AND MIGUEL IS CRAZY
The way I interpreted the wrestling sample at the end of Call Me Maybe is death coming for Devon. The match is the Undertaker (his name referencing a job closely associated with death) versus Shawn Michaels (HBK, who Devon establishes his propensity toward earlier in the tape). Very bleak; Undertaker narrowly won.
2:17 , oh my god I completely forgot about Maya and Miguel
true
where did you find those backround vids
