This is Death Grips

I will not elaborate

Hello everyone. It's been quite some time since i last posted and I'm truly sorry but i shall try and be a little more active. Anyways, here are some (pretty overdue) albums i had listened to. Enjoy.

Usually I'd give my favorite tracks but I felt burnt out with music in general but I feel refreshed enough to go back to listening to albums. I believe that my first album back will either be Revolutionary Vol. 1 by Immortal Technique or 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J. Cole but I think I'll go with the first choice as one song has me curious from it. Have a good day/night.

Sat down and listened to an album that @delarai recommended me. This is Lupe Fiasco’s Samurai. I really enjoyed this project and the clever lyrics and storytelling in tracks like Mumble Rap, Palace and Bigfoot. The production throughout it is also amazing. The first beginning tracks like Samurai and Cake is like early Lupe but the latter half is more relaxed and almost lofi-esque until it circles back at the end with Til Eternity. Overall, really solid project.

Favorite tracks: Samurai, Mumble Rap, No. 1 Headband, Bigfoot, Cake.

This is one of my favorite songs to listen to while walking at night and nobody's awake. It's such an amazing piece of art that can sound absolutely hopeful as the ending of a hopeless and melancholy filled album. I like how in the remaster you can actually hear the final speech Peggy gives about how he made the album because he loved making music and I find myself living by it that I hope if anybody sees any of my posts on social media about music I loved or liked that they see how I'm truly in love with it.

My collection of cassettes

Felt like showing off some of my music collection and i should probably start simple. First off, this is my current portable cassette player. I don't find myself using it as much since it's a bit shaky at points and feels like they play at a lower pitch unless it is completely still.

Here are my custom cassettes. News at 11, Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6, Who Really Cares, and King Of The Mischievous South vol 1 were recorded from my iPhone to my cd/cassette player via aux and blutooth. However the rest of these pictured were recorded off of a different portable Walkman which was somewhat cheap and I didn't know how to properly record them and they sound extremely off. Might rerecord them someday.

Here are some metal cassettes I picked up at a local music store. I first started out with Deathcrush by Mayhem and I enjoyed it and figured that next time I went, I'd pick up at least 5 metal albums to dip my toes into the water. I actually ended up picking 5 metal CDs and 5 metal cassettes. I'd say my favorite metal cassette from these pics would have have to be Self Loather by Ghost Bath.

Here are my rap cassettes. Most of these I ordered from artists/record labels online merch store but I'd say my favorite cassettes from these have to be the Devon Hendryx cassettes (Dreamcast Summer Songs, JOECHILLWORLD, The Rockwood Escape Plan, and The Ghost ~ Pop Tape.) since they were a graduation gift for myself and were limited time only or Monster Tape Zero by Groovy Kaiju because the artist actually signed the case and the package wrap.

Lastly, here are some miscellaneous cassettes I picked up recently from a goodwill because they caught my eye and I thought they were interesting. If you saw and read through this post, I thank you for your time.
