Peggy is so inspiring to me as a black man. Being so unapologetically and abrasively himself and making music that exemplifies that. Nobody is doing it like him and I respect him a ton. Hope he continues to grow and get the recognition he deserves.
Peggy is honest to God my biggest inspiration. I first heard him through his COLORS performance and have been hooked ever since. The way his beats can be dark violent and then transform into shining beauty while he raps about what he wants unafraid is amazing to me and I can't wait for him to blow-up like he deserves.
Not to mention that Peggy accidentally created the first vaporwave project known as Dreamcast Summer Songs Edit: This comment is dumb and makes no sense whatsoever
@@noot_2 by accidental he probably means it didnt really create or influence the genre or the people who are considered the founders of vaporwave, it was separate from the movement.
@@Mira2Cold it's a no jumper interview where they briefly talk about this about 5 minutes in. They don't even shade it that much, go listen for yourself
another cool thing about jpeg is he has a good understanding of the internet and music on the internet today, one example being having songs like JPEGMAFIA TYPE BEAT, making his song the first that comes up when people look for people copying him, or another is the song 1488 on veteran, which he named after the white supremacist hate symbol but the song is him talking shit to them and threatening them, so if someone searches for songs with those numbers in them they'll find him attacking them
I felt like “Jpegmafia type beat” was more of a cometary on people comparing all his music to death grips in general, but thats just how I interpreted it
I don’t know about that. DG challenged shit, they created stuff that is unique to hip hop. They inspired a lot of people. Peggy is only doing the same thing. Why would you think that’s a bad thing?
@@labyrinthdweller6707 Peggy is not doing the "the same thing". His beats are uniquely his sound, there are soo many rappers that don't even know what to do with his beats which shows he's not doing the same shit. Death Grips is great but so is Peggy. All I'm saying is that everyone always puts Peggy's name with DeathGrips because just cus he's a black guy that has done noise/experimental kind of hip hop before.
@@labyrinthdweller6707 I think by the “Peggy is only doing the same thing” he meant that just like DG, Peggy also created things that were unique to hip hop, challenged the game as a whole, and inspired many other people to do the same
Jesse G same could be said ab DG. The point I’m making is that they both changed shit up and gave people a new taste of something. That’s why I think it’s more damaging to say how it’s sad for Peggy to be compared to dg
@@labyrinthdweller6707 I didn't mean it's sad in a way to diss DeathGrips I meant because literally everyone compares them. And its known to piss Peggy off and I thought it was funny that this video did that exact thing haha
I love your videos man. Peggy has to be in my top 5 biggest inspirations, he's fucking insane, his production is surreal and he comes out as fearless when it comes to saying shit
@@Volksgeist maybe, points where made tho by Peggy himself too, so stop being the white kid with glasses that they where talking about and accept the criticism 🥸
One of the most unique rappers to do it and the fact that he produces all his stuff just pushes him beyond anyone out right now imo. He’ll go down in history as one of the best artists of this generation
thought it was funny when you were like "howd this guy go from being in the military to writing anti-establishment, anti-racist songs?" bc i was like actually being exposed to the worst horrors america has to offer and then leaving and becoming a leftist makes perfect sense to me 🤷♂
loved this video overall, hopefully this can enlighten various perspectives and background information for anyone interested or any music listener who encounters his own artistic ideas appreciate the fact that you even went in thorough detail about his past experiences, his mixtapes and his level of growth, maturity and development if anyone wants someone to recommend an album from his discography, I feel that listening to LP! gives a more diverse perspective and insight to his own music. from there you may listen to other experimental albums based on sociopolitical ideas (Veteran or AMHAC, pick your poison)
@@dexter123423 it's so fucking difficult to decide. this year i had ~7k minutes JPEGMAFIA and Devon Hendryx and still don't know what my fav project is. they're all so amazing!
I recently saw Peggy in Michigan, seeing him perform and interact w fans was so tight. He seemed so happy to be making fans happy. I'm glad this man got to elevate himself to where he is. He deserves it. A true inspiration.
I love what peggy has to say but for me it's the visceral reaction to his production that keeps me coming back time and time again. His shits gets under your skin with the weird percs and effects, but then the melodies and grooves stick even harder because you get knocked off balance.
ooh man i disagree COMPLETELY about peggy being more cerebral rather than viceral. viceral is the exact word i would use to describe so much of his production. and i'm also turning up to his stuff on the DAILY lol.
I get what you’re saying, I fell like I have both. I can think about the messages on All My Heros and feel cerebral as i vibe to the instrumentals in EP! As well. But then I throw on ALLCAPS or baby I’m bleeding and the hype is tangible even when I’m alone. I don’t go to concerts, though, crowds aren’t really my thing, so I can’t even imagine what a crowd at a JPEG show is like. I interpreted Volksgeist’s message as saying that in person the visceral feelings can manifest in the crowd in a way that Is difficult to achieve by yourself, and without those intense feelings taking over your thoughts, you naturally reflect on his messages more which can be more cerebral. Just wanted to share some of my thoughts, cause I definitely agree with both of y’all.
I agree with you. I listen to peggy mostly because of the crazy industrial sounds and awesome production. You never know what's next. Of course the message is important, but for me it's the experimental vein of his work that really stands out from a creative point of view.
Got some wrong/missed though; probably unintentionally. Main things for me were all the early projects not covered, or even mentioned **still a cool video though
i remember hearing veteran for the first time, it almost blindsided me. i had heard experimental hip hop before through death grips but it was just so different, i didn’t realize music could sound like that but it was so intriguing i’ve been listening ever since.
im so glad he is the type of artist to be himself and not try to cater to a certain crowd. i love his music, i dont even listen for the issues all the time even though i appreciate it because its so empowering. the beats are insane. i turn up to him on a regular.
I very much so appreciate Peggy's approach to music as a whole. I do think he falls under the same trap of a reactionary that supports uprisings that inevitably does more harm to the same people they claim to want to help and support and give a voice to. I understand the turmoil of a darker skinned individual in America at the moment and while i'm not black I get it. The system in America inevitably helps those on top as they just have more resources. That being said I think Peggy's turn from something like Black Ben Carson to a more general target was the best move. I don't agree with the extreme shit Peggy says and wants to have happen but it's very understandable to be jaded with the world and your country and wanting to find an outlet for the inconceivable anger you garnered throughout.
Great video, the one thing that was missing was how much of his production style and inspiration comes from Throbbing Gristle. While it’s tempting to compare him to Death Grips his industrial style really comes from throbbing gristle. The harsh noise, the disturbing samples, as well as just all of the unorthodox production choices are all very much from Throbbing Gristle. His ethos of experimentation really comes from more gritty sampling of the likes of throbbing gristle, then something like death grips or yeezus which is more refined minimalistic industrial. I think that what makes him special is he takes from the core and very first industrial band rather then kind of cookie cutter formula of what we expect from industrial. In a lot of his interviews in the Veteran era he mentioned how TG was his biggest influence, but now these days as his style has gotten a bit more poppy I think it’s more on Ye. Still very cool video
3:22 that is actually “Ballad Of A Poor Man”, track 1 from the album. “violent fighting to come again” is just a short instrumental used as an interlude, track 4 on the album
It’s about time! Jpegmafia is such an influential artist and he is just getting started. He will fr go down as one of the best artists in the music industry. For me, Peggy just did experimental music right and actually pretty listenable
I don’t think he actually cared about his country. That’s not why he fought. His experience goes much deeper. Poverty, military, abuse, violence and he’s black. Gives you a very different perspective from an average American. Coming back to that point about the military he fought for himself. Because he didn’t have anything else to do. And that is who the military is searching for. He said it himself I think.
You know bro. I’m over here watching Peggy’s no jumper interview and honestly disappointed. The shots seemed to be aimed at you and the “general” music reviewer or whatever but I’m kinda tired of it. Idk how you may feel about it if you do see it or even read this but. Keep this shit up bro. This type of content helps music grow for the public and gain interest for artist.
"Course, discordant, industrial, intense" thanks for putting that into words. I've been wondering how to properly warn people before showing them Peggy
Super weird, I was at the show (the Crofoot in Pontiac, MI) that all the live footage comes from at the end. I stood next to the dude who filmed it, he was like 7 ft tall lmao
Peggy the typa artist you play on your headphones but not at the party. That holds his commercial success back but does he care?
Talk about cognitive dissonance, I used to feel that way so much happier without them fakes vamping on me, can’t even stay up. Shalom

peggy and adam definitely weren’t fucking with this video
was looking for this comment
Why not?
@@thringleader i guess is because he went to deep into it or is not what his music meant to be with his own interpretations like in Veteran
Peggy is so badass n rebellious (yawn)
yeah lol. Dude reached too far with his own opinions
Can't wait for his next song, "Margaret Thatcher plays Among Us at 3 AM"
"I Will Commit Several Vehicular Manslaughters, One Of Which Will Include Newt Gingrich"
crazy thing is that this is the typa shit he would name his songs
