    When Myke was talking about Body & Blood and criticizing it for its "twerk something girl" hook, I felt the need to point out that given the context of the song he's not actually telling a girl to twerk; he's outlining the killer's modus operandi. Twerk, cut, kill, eat, repeat. It's sort of like Swimming Pools in that regard. Oh, and definitely listen to Small Things To A Giant, it's a great album.

    • @Ghosthacker94
      @Ghosthacker94 8 років тому +21

      Exactly. She twerks it to attract the victim, then does the following stuff. Weird that he didn't catch on to that, especially when he seems to get Death Grips stuff I have a problem figuring out even after a few listens.

    • @SebbyPlaysMusic
      @SebbyPlaysMusic 3 роки тому +5

      Exactly.
      "Twerk something, girl."
      There's a reason he's saying "something."
      The origins of the word "twerk" are a mix of "twitch" and "jerk," from the 18th century.
      So the chorus is a literal description of what she's doing to her victim's body, letting you fill in the blank as to which body part she's breaking and cutting first, in order to kill and eat. In that order.
      The fact that Myke C-Town got so offended by the blatant sexualization of the content kind of just proves that this woman's tactics are legitimately effective at demanding the attention of anyone prone to judging someone else's potentially promiscuous nature of sexuality (which is definitely most people, no shots at Myke); This is exactly why she's killing in the first place, as indicated by the female actress in the music video. Her pleasure, how she understands it, has been tainted with pain. She's only taking it further because it'll always be a part of herself now, being stuck in an endless cycle of inevitable sexual desire, where "predators" who are eager to shatter her boundaries that define decency are due to meet mirrored consequences.
      Sort of a revenge piece for women who've been sexually abused, a bit like "The Show" off of TEAETB.
      Goddamn, Daveed's good.

    Daveed Diggs really knows how to tell a story. He can really make you envision the setting and get you immersed in it, like with Inside Out where he lays out the scene of this drive-by shooting that the police are investigating and stuff. Personally, they've only gotten better since Midcity and I can't wait to see where they go next.

    @sweetshoez 10 років тому +30

    Good review. I think you guys missed one point though. Myke brought it up but I think that clipping pretty clearly doesn't encourage the lifestyle they talk about. It becomes super obvious on the last track from midcity when the song is just GET MONEY GET MONEY GET MONEY GET MONEY GET MONEY and literally no other words for a few minutes. To me that song was to point fun at how money hungry people are and ALL they care about is being able to say they're getting money. I feel like they're putting that "hood" or negative/violent culture on a pedestal so the listener can tear it down. BUT I do agree that they don't do the opposite enough, they never do or say anything against it explicitly so that concept gets lost. I think it's there though.

  • @CowPotatoes
    @CowPotatoes 10 років тому +34

    I don't think Diggs uses the pronoun "I" once in this album. Therefore I don't think the songs are commentary on Digg's life, I think that Diggs is expressing his opinions on things via telling stories through these characters and scenes he creates. This is why I love Clipping so much, It's refreshing to see an inventive MC like Daveed, and not to mention the wild beats he raps over. I don't think it's a perfect album by any stretch but I think Myke was a little hard on it. I respect his opinion (dude knows his shit) but I don't share the same view he has on this album.

  • @Eziokilla9595

    I loved this album, and I'm putting this album in my top 3 of the year, regardless. Myke disappointed me.
    He's complaining about Daveed's content, yet he'll praise someone like Kool G Rap. He even said about G Rap, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."
    clipping. doesn't have the most interesting content. Fair enough. But, they're delivering stereotypical "hood shit" in an incredibly creative, and inventive way. The flows were terrific, the rhymes were great, ect. It's not WHAT he's saying, it's HOW he's saying it. It all seemed like a blaring contradiction on Myke's part.
    Ends is my song of the year, so far.

    • @mykectown
      @mykectown 10 років тому +22

      You know what disappointed me? The fact that you barely listened to what I said on this review or, obviously, the G Rap review. Or really any review for that matter if you're so bothered by what I said. You're usually a bit more open-minded than that judging from your comments on our other vids. But I guess all it takes it for someone to disagree with you about something you feel so strongly about for that to take a turn. Which is really a let down.
      I didn't personally care for the content of this album. It bored me. When I say "it's not what you say, it's how you say it" I'm talking about the words you use, how you string them together and the way you deliver them. With a G Rap, I get a hood mentality throughout 99% of his music. Every line flows into the next. The words he uses, the lines he forms, his delivery, his flow, all of that I find fits because there's nothing to really get. It's just a hood rapper rapping hood shit over hood beats.
      With Daveed's preferred rap style, his flow was dope. His wordplay, on occasion, was cool. What I didn't like was the way he strung the words together for the majority of the album. With him there WAS something to get. He's telling stories or presenting ideas, but I feel like he's doing that in a way that isn't all that interesting TO ME. The lines that stuck out (which he put emphasis on) didn't interest me. When I listen to this album I get a few lines here and there that I like then a few lines that I don't like then a few lines that I really didn't like at all. That's not enough for ME to enjoy it. If you like it, good for you. But there's no contradiction here whatsoever. You just chose to take bits and pieces of things I've said to attempt to discredit my view of this album. Which is silly. If you want to do that, that's fine. But you can't expect me to take that seriously.
      Over this type of production the content falls flat to me. When I hear this type of backdrop I look for something a bit more interesting. I don't feel that I got that from it. That's it. Take it or leave it. Disappointing or otherwise.

    • @BombXXplosive

      Myke C-Town
      G Rap is one of greats and his flow is incredible. Myke, is it possible for you guys to review Capital Punishment by Big Pun either on DEHH or your solo reviews? Since Pun was a huge fan of G Rap

    • @Eziokilla9595
      @Eziokilla9595 10 років тому +6

      Myke C-Town If the album's content (and, by extension, the album as a whole) didn't work for you, that's fine. But, coming from someone with an opinion as well-versed as yours, I would've expected otherwise. Out of everyone in Dead End Hip Hop, you're the one who loves experimental Hip-Hop, so I figured that this album would've fit well with you.
      Your explanation regarding G Rap makes complete sense, but I saw it differently. The old "it's not what you say, it's how you say it," applies less line-for-line, in my opinion, and rather in a much greater way, in regards to how an MC actually deals with and applies their presented subject matter.
      G Rap dealt with typical hood shit in a brilliant way. I'm looking squarely at Live and Let Die, for this example. It's an album about hood shit, but he brings it to places of innovation and creativity in dealing with his subject matter with songs like Train Robbery. Same "subject matter," but it's dealt with in a different way.
      I felt like the same principle applied here. Daveed rapped about hood shit, but in songs like Dream, Get Up, Inside Out, Or Die, Dominoes, and Ends, primarily, he both reveals the nature of the world around him, but also the world that he takes part of. It was an interesting socially-conscious perspective of someone both repulsed by his world, even though he feeds into his repulsion. I found it fascinating.
      When I said it sounded like a contradiction, I meant that you praise someone like G Rap, despite his subject matter which you addressed, you said he does it well. I felt that Daveed delivered similar topics well, also. I'm not trying to compare Daveed and G Rap, I was just using G Rap as a point of reference. But, if you feel that what Daveed accomplished in his lyrics wasn't that notable, there is no harm in that. I saw it differently.
      If he didn't stick out to you, I can't fault you for that. That's personal preference. (Even though, technically, all of this is.) Also, if his style of rhyming, or his bars didn't resonate with you, there is no shame in that. When I said I was disappointed, I less felt disappointed by your criticisms, but rather I was disappointed that you didn't like it as much as I thought you would've. As I've previously stated, you love experimental Hip-Hop, and this album felt like elevated, lyrically and production-wise, from many of the albums released recently.
      Myke, I appreciate you responding with such an argument. I didn't write my initial comment to upset you, I just viewed what you said differently. (Or, I just interpreted it differently.) I apologize for sounding coarse. You know that I respect your opinion.

    • @mykectown
      @mykectown 10 років тому +10

      Eziokilla9595 Nah, bro. I wasn't upset by what you said. I was a bit let down because, in the past, you've always been one of those "it's your opinion so it is what it is" type of dudes (unless I'm getting your screen name mixed up). I'm just not really getting all of these marginalizing comments where it seems like everyone thinks if a type of music falls into a certain category then I'm required to like it. There's plenty of experimental music that I don't care for. I like the genre as a whole, but I don't have to like every single cog within it. As pretentious as it might sound, my mind isn't that simplistic. This particular album just didn't speak to me the way it did others.
      I didn't say anything bad about this album. I just said it didn't work for me. So I'm just really lost at how everyone here is trying to make it seem like I'm lying about not liking it or how there's some kind of formula for liking an album that I dared to break away from. The fact that Feefo liked it and I didn't should show how false that mentality is.
      If you thought it was done well, then that's you. And that's great. As I said I don't want Daveed Diggs to change. I want him to continue doing what he's doing because he's presenting a new side to this type of music and that's great. I would recommend this album to people, but I don't, personally, care for it.

      @P0LYG0NW1ND0W 10 років тому +1

      Myke C-Town I think what you're saying is spot on Myke. It would be interesting if Clipping's stuff came out before Death Grips and it served as an entry point for people to get into DG. Then perhaps the more thought-out and message-laden content of MC Ride's lyrics would become more apparent to people because they'd been pre-disposed to industrial/experimental through Clipping first.
      Maybe because of this people will go back to groups like DG to give them another chance. It feels like there's a real change starting to happen in hip hop and it would be good to have some other voices than the "bitches and ho's" brigade.

    Great review, but I would have to say that Myke is missing the point a bit. Daveed Diggs is not trying to glorify the flaws of the lyrical themes of hood or gangsta rap. He is simply aware of them. He understands the fact that those themes are frivolous, but he also understands the fact that it has entertained so many people. He creates characters that are simultaneously satire and works of sincere interest in the merits of that style of story telling. Like Martin Scorsese, films such as Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street, he creates stories are filled with seemingly pointless sex, drugs and violence, but frames them with extreme technical skill to give those stories the same respect that common literary merit would get. Just my thoughts.

    Man I loved the lyrics on this, what Myke was talking about how its social commentary imo was actually really well done. I had similar problem with Myke on Midcity, I think on both albums it had the aim of being a sort of commentary, but this did it a huge amount better.
    A song like Ends is not just a standard ratchet ending track:
    "Once upon a time there was a moral to this story, but fuck it they need some ends:
    There's a reason that not a single point he writes from the first person, its all told from a top down perspective.
    "Plenty pieces on the board, all the squares black though
    Covered in the soot from that bootstrap class, so
    Get it how you're living and live in color of calico
    Cats beout here slipping, they got it backwards, they palindromes
    Flipping "get it how you live" into the reality of catching bullets cause how you live is "in color of calico", Body and Blood turning a normal club track into something super fucked up, Work Work taking the 99 Problems 2nd verse story and turning it into the inevitability of death, etc
    I could go on, but imo there's a lot of clever shit going on past just the TWERK SOMETHING parts, which both serve to estabilish the reference points of the tracks, and are catchy as fuck.

    I really love Daveed Diggs content, in part because he never says HES the one doing it, theres not a single "I" statement on the album, I always kind of imagine hes like the devil on the shoulder of the people in his songs, never participating in the grotesque hedonism but basically goading the people to go deeper, and I think thats a really cool idea.

    My issue with "Tonight" is I really can't shake the feeling that something's off about it, but it's just not clear enough about the outcome.
    Hear me out here. This song is, in terms of aesthetics, about the associations of drunk vs. sober.
    When you're fucked up, you're not trying to keep track of what people are doing.
    Gangsta Boo says she's gonna be waiting at the Waffle House. (Never mind that she playfully calls him a victim)
    When Daveed's character gets in the cab, he's going "some place." - How would the cabbie know where to go if he doesn't?
    "Head in the backseat" is a reference to his mental state, not GETTING head in the back of a cab because she's not there yet.
    (If she is there, the cabbie's a little too used to something like this happening.)
    But that doesn't matter because his mentality is stuck.
    "Stumble up a staircase" - A staircase. Not specifically his.
    "Floors missing boards." - By most people's standards, you could consider that building condemned.
    Notice when he's entering the building, someone is pulling keys out of denim pockets (nondescript). We assume it's him. But he never acknowledges that he's coming home. In fact, it goes beyond him not knowing where he is, as he THINKS he's in a place that he clearly is not. Consider what this indicates about his perception.
    "Teeth into soft skin." "Fists full of weave, rip, lick, suck, coughing." (ouch. I get passion, but that's borderline VIOLENT.)
    "Rug burn on the knees." There's gotta be a reason they're not adjusting positions. You don't just keep going through that when you have other options unless you're literally numb; Keep in mind "Don't forget to tip the bartender / You got fucked up and that's alright."
    "Salt on the lips" can be a reference to dehydration... or nerve / brain damage.
    "Beat it up, spread it out, bust it open, take it down." Take it down? Take what down? She can't give you head while you're fucking, especially if you're about to be breathing in her breath... If she is giving head, then what's getting spread out and busted open? Seems like it's all blending together.
    "Eyes rolling, bones shaking." Eyes rolling, I get. Bones shaking, though? That's an oddly archaic way to describe it.
    "Lungs weak" - My lungs have NEVER felt WEAK from exhaustion. Unless this dude smokes heavy or has a health condition, that's something else.
    "Breathing in somebody else's breath"
    - This is where the ambiguity reaches a concerning peak.
    HE'S NOT BREATHING IN HER BREATH. IT'S SOMEONE ELSE.
    YOU NEVER ACTUALLY KNOW IF SHE'S EVEN THERE.
    ("Then it's time to figure out who's fucking tonight")
    "Hold up, what's your name? What's up with that breakfast?"
    - You want to assume he's the one who mentioned breakfast first, right? Doesn't that seem off once you let the setting sink in?
    I'm thinking he's the breakfast.
    Other men not pulling in women might not be a coincidence.
    Earlier, Gangsta Boo mentions she "caught him slipping" like she's luring him into a trap.
    For the cabbie to go without clear directions means he's in on it, as would be the bartender.
    For the keys to fit would imply someone switched his keys, or someone else was wearing denim.
    Considering that the main character is moving weight in alleys for work, this backs up a recurring point in Clipping's music saying that people who choose to hide in the shadows are easier to wipe off the map.
    I just wish the ending was more clear, because this song could be a very effective flipside to Body and Blood.
    (I wouldn't even go in like this analyzing these lyrics if I wasn't sure Daveed was capable of intending this.)

    "I didn't like the alarm noise."
    I wonder if ya'll watched the music video and realized it's actually an ambulance siren fading in and out.
    Actually makes the harmonization extra-surreal if you're following the songs concept: Wake up from this endless money game and realize what true dreams are.
    I think it also brings up the concept of "what if real life is the dream and we wake up when we die?"
    Ideas like that that aren't necessarily obvious on the first listen are what makes this group stick, after getting past reacting to the aesthetic choices.

    @ImpendingRiot83 10 років тому +3

    And honestly, I think whole social commentary of the overall lyrical content is readily apparent based solely upon the beats. The topics covered on the album are generally done so through a very glamorous, very positive filter via the production, but in Clipping's stuff they remove that and instead choose to convey it through a sort of "ugly reality". This is really noticeable near the end of Work Work, where the beat kinda halts and softens up while Daveed talks about how people treat anyone who isn't famous getting killed by police as just another number.

    1. Has anyone noticed that throughout the whole entire album, Daveed never said either "I" or "nigga" once?
    2. I also felt like the last dude would think differently about the album, if he read the lyrics while listening. I once thought they were treading the same "pimps, hoes, drugs and violence" well that rappers are running dry when I heard midcity, but I'm reading the lyrics and still finding some really surprising shit. The album, to me, is almost like a strange conscious record wrapped up in gangsta attire.

    I feel like the standard Gangsta/club stuff on songs like Body and Blood and Work Work is actually really clever. Diggs flips our expectations on its head, by putting this stereotypical rap stuff right next to twisted lyrics about mutilation, deception, generally fucked up shit, etc and giving the subject a darker underbelly. Its very self aware and gives these lyrics a darker, deeper take (like switching "Twerk somethin' girl" with "kill somethin' girl" to show how the girl is playing up her hood side to seduce guys)

    If you didn't like the "basic" I guess rap content on Midcity and CLPPNG, you should really check out Splendor & Misery if you haven't done so already. It's unlike anything I have ever listened to before. The whole album tells a science fiction, post-apocalyptic type story set in space, and the social commentary within the use of a slave ship is absolutely incredible.

    Myke really did miss the point of Daveed's content imo. I don't think the "typical" content on here is overbearing at all, it's painfully obvious that it is satire of mainstream rap. The track with Gangsta Boo really was bad though, and I like Gangsta Boo.

    I had a more visceral reaction to this album than I have any other album this year, save possibly Copper Gone. Listening to this for the first time while walking home at two in the morning on a Saturday, watching people leaving clubs and fight in the streets, it really hit me in a certain way. It's a terrifying album. The sparse, minimalist beats really make what Daveed's spitting seem like something straight out of a zombie movie. It seems pretty obvious to me that it's not meant to be taken at face value, and I had a dark, gut reaction to it. How human it is to want to fuck someone at the club, or to want to cause violence to promote your crew, your friends; but also how empty, dangerous, and cyclical that is. Nobody wins. I don't know, that's how it hit me.

    Myke - I can see where some tracks might be a little over the top lyrically, but going back to your social commentary point, I think you should revisit Work Work. The first 2/3 of the track are Daveed talking about leading this gangsta lifestyle, but on the last verse, everything gets turned on its head. He basically goes through fantasies this guy has about how to smooth talk a cop that pulled him over when all of a sudden you're faced with the harsh reality:
    "All of the above in your head but / it doesn't really matter 'cause you already dead
    No obituaries for the most part / Nobody cares, you're not even a co-star / Just an extra / they read about it as a number / names got money in their wallet."
