@@colddsummerofficial old tyler and old peggy are very unrefined/reverb-ey sounding. i would argue both are ok but not nearly as good as their respective masterpiece albums, ykwim?
@@nbshftr the reverb on Ghost~Pop Tape is part of the reason I love it so much. The later stuff may be more “well made” I guess in a professional sense, but Ghost Pop has this intangible element to it that just makes it really special. It’s so emotionally charged too.
Ppl think Veteran’s gonna scare y’all but tbh … if y’all rly rly enjoyed All My Heroes Are Cornballs I don’t think Veteran will be *too* challenging. It’s definitely wilder but you’ll probably be able to vibe with it. Do y’all also plan on listening to Black Ben Carson, Communist Slow Jams, and The Ghost ~Pop Tape too and uploading it?
Peggy's singing is kind of in its own lane. He definitely is not a traditionally 'good' singer. Like, it SOUNDS good, but it's not like he's breaking out any special techniques. Just using his natural range to "sing into the processing." I do photography for a hobby and one thing you learn real quick is how limited even good modern cameras are when it comes to dealing with the really dynamic or extreme lighting situations, like shooting things in front of the sun - or with just a few dim light sources. There are tricks to get around it, but the dynamic range makes it so the exposure never matches what our own visual processing gives us. You can still take good photos as just straight shots. They just won't look like when you were there. The camera just can't capture what you're seeing when one or both extremes of dark and bright are present. The good news is that digital sensors capture more information than you can even see in the image at once, values that you can pull up or down with pretty crazy granularity and range. You can pretty much make night into day and vise versa with .RAW files straight from the sensor capture, make it any time of day you want as long as you started with the right exposure - you actually have several ways to change the color balance on a fine level, adjusting individual color bands as well as using different ways of balancing them with tone (the mapping of color/color-depth across the range of bright and dark values, what colors show up where, with how much emphasis/luminosity - can drastically alter the image in any way you want.) It won't be a *perfect* image in terms of detail loss/smoothness, but the super-high resolutions you get with modern sensors give you tons of headroom that makes that largely unnoticeable when you do it right with the right exposure going in. Really wide sharpening has the effect of adding 'contrast clarity' to a flat base image by bringing more contrast to midtones. Lightroom calls it "clarity." You can make a flat image in weird lighting pop in a special way with it. There is also HDR compositing, where you take extra exposures that are under and over the properly-metered exposure of the same shot. Only works for still things. But you can algorithmically smush the images together to approximate one image with more dynamic range than the sensor saw in any one shot. Create an image much closer to what YOU might have seen in person, that the camera never actually did. Maybe even make something you only imagined yourself seeing, like a scene that could never actually exist naturally. Why do I mention all of this? Sometimes the right exposure isn't the 'correct' or 'optimal' one to your eyes, looking at the shots you've taken. You have to think ahead to what comes after taking the shot. Sometimes you shoot specifically knowing that what you see on your camera screen isn't going to look remotely how it should, because it's just the starting point for molding the image into what it needs to be. If it looked close to right, it'd be the wrong shot for editing. You shoot to edit sometimes, essentially. You wouldn't necessarily want to look at the original shots for just the enjoyment, as they're not nearly as appealing, nor are they meant to be. They might be too dark or too bright. Or maybe just very low-contrast. But that's not because they're bad. It's because they're unfinished. At the same time, they are everything they need to be - nothing more and nothing less. With peggy's vocals, his singing and processing are integral to one another. You can't judge either one alone. His delivery is like the skeleton, and all of the keyboard-like tuning is the meat on the bone. They combine to make something that can't exist any other way, that like well-processed night shots with exposures that would be weird for normal photos, end up being something striking and distinctly unique. He's not really "singing" so much as he is making a new instrument for a different purpose, it is what it needs to be to stitch into his mixes and elevate them to their truest form imo. I think there is a lot of intent and creative decision-making from moment to moment in the raw vocal performances under the processing. He sings in very particular, nuanced ways that are utilized in building a vocal presentation that in the end is virtually incomparable to normal singing, even if we're talking norms for autotune, melodyne, and vocoders in rap. His topline melodies are total subversions of those norms too - they're like anti-toplines. It's this reverse-catchy, southpaw melodic phrasing. He only ever gives you everything you'd never expect to hear in a hook. But in the pockets he leaves in the beats for them, it sounds coherent. It's kind of like how when you're dreaming, all kinds of weird and impossible things can be happening around you, that you take as normal without a second thought, only realizing how strange it actually was when you look back on it and try to add up the pieces. They are stitched together just like his voice and the processing are, it's like a fractal sound. I think the best way to understand it is to catch him covering a familiar song, like when he did Brittany Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on his "THOT'S PRAYER." I mean, it's a pretty extreme deconstruction of the original - almost more of an interpolation than a cover. But comparing the two reveals a lot about how he does his takes to bring out certain things in the layers of processing, really shows what makes that whole sound. The trick is that it all sounds casual when every move he does has a purpose.
I've been listening since Veteran came out, here's my top 5 1) Scaring the Hoes 2) All My Heroes are Cornballs 3) LP! (Offline) 4) Veteran 5) 2nd Amendment
@@gunnar4915 STH got his best beats so far and probably his best flows. Peggy's lines themselves were more memorable on veteran and cornballs but the fact that he made STH's beats on an sp404 is just too fucking impressive. My favorite project from him by far
As a long time Jpegmafia fan... Y'all not wrong for thinking Scaring the Hoes is his best work.... The guy has just improved.... Every album he levels up
this one's for us is one of peggy's most underrated songs
fr
"This one for us" is my favorite song. The flow of Peggy with the beat. Insane. Its my workout motivation song haha.
ep2 is the most underrated peggy project ever imo. yall NEED to listen to Veteran now tho
If we count Hendryx stuff, Dreamcast Summer Songs is definitely the most underrated project

"Niggas just shitted on me"... Damn Peggy took that trip to Dubai 😂😂😂
I waited forever to see people react to rough 7 for more than like 5 seconds. It's my favorite off of both eps
Yup
Peggy featured on VENGEANCE off of TABOO. Zillakami as well. Song is a banger.
If you haven't already you guys need to react to does this ski mask make me look fat?
