Hello, my name is Pipe, or Ryan, choose whichever.
I'm writing to you today because I listened to your compilation record recently. I've heard through the grapevine that you want to reach out outside of your following on AOTY.org and become a more of a serious label that houses Rap and RnB music which starts its foundations on the internet.

Which side are you on?Hmmm, it seems to me that people might actually really like this.....allow me to ruin that as I now explain why I believe this to be one of the worst albums of the year.
First off this has no religious or cultural significance to me, I'm approaching this through the gaze of an idiot American. So take that in context when I say I don't care, I just don't care about the Dalai Lama. This album does not present me with anything to care about or connect to.

Even if we don't know the character, nor his music, when we look at this cover we clearly feel through it a seriousness, a kind of elegance and a man who seems very intellectual. In the end, we can say that it sums up Bill Evans, one of the most important intellectuals in jazz, perfectly. However, this cold and sullen cover probably illustrates the loss of his partner, Scott LaFaro, one of the most promising and gifted bassists in the history of jazz, who ... read moreCFCE 87.8 FM Weekly Genre : EAI
It's always fascinating to discuss and observe an individual's opinion when you're thinking about how you perceive and interpret art and entertainment in totally different ways.

Cloud Rap is sometimes a hard genre to describe and pin down.

Enacting the ‘War on Drugs’, you singlehandedly changed this nation for the worse, further dividing the rich from the poor, incriminating black, indigenous, and people of color for the smallest of drug offenses, and basically creating the world’s most populous and inhumane prison system. FUCK. YOU.being able to suck your own dick can be a talent, but it's not a superpower
big big bullshitA really strange track, that feels really unique to both Cudi's and Slim's styles. I appreciate how different this is. Great instrumental... decent lyrics... yeah I like thisDalai Lama can spit bars for days. I think my favourite line on the album would be:
"My dreams only work when I start training my dragon
It seems my coldly way of words is how I retain my right to braggin', wonder what would happen
If you'd prefer to be burdened by my words and other dirty slurs and flirty verdicts, would you still return?"

"Crack-Up" is, by far, the most difficult album I've ever listened to. For whatever reason, upon more than 10 listens, I still couldn't even wrap my head around this record's complexities.

The first track, 'Mister Whisper', definitely gives me a Black Sabbath tinged vibe for sure. It's way more metal inspired then anything that Avenade has done up to this point, with bouncy riffs and a bigger emphasis on the melodic element to Avenade that was seen on other ... read moreEminem killed his addition. I wish they switched up the dynamic and went for a more ambitous approach like "Guilty Conscience", just to play off each other better.
