Here’s Fiend rapping over Washed Out’s “Feel It All Around,” which makes no sense, and a little too much sense. Important things mentioned on “Aqua Flow”: Ocean Drive, Zach Galifianakis, potions, valiums (on the beach), pyramids. Also worth noting: Those rushing water sounds before the beat drops were not added for ambiance, they come straight from this video for that song from Portlandia, which means Fiend just queued this up on YouTube, clicked “record” on whatever cheapo program he’s got on his computer, tapped into the sensuous-ness of this chillwave classic (no, really!), and purred out some spliff-inspired sweet somethings. And chillwave owes a great deal to hip-hop anyways. On this song, Ernest Greene, who has some Dilla and Pete Rock in his sound, pretty much just slopped-and-screwed Gary Low’s “I Want You.” And chillwave and chilled-out rap pretty much started up at the same exact time, so let International Jones go jackin’ for beats over top some Gorilla vs. Bear fare. “Aqua Flow” isn’t as accomplished as his freestyle over the Specials’ “Ghost Town,” but I’m just as happy this one exists.

The number of thinkpieces that can be written on a buzzed-about band doubles approximately every two years.
Remember Voxtrot?
fourbeatsoff asked: Seeing as you're writing about Jay and you have an affinity for Ja Rule, I was wondering if you ever heard the Streets Is Watching soundtrack? If not, it has a classic track with Jay, Ja and DMX called "Murdergram" you should hear. It was supposed to be a sneak peak of their group album that never happened, most likely due to their clash of egos.
I am the world’s biggest Ja Rule apologist! I really wanted to watch Streets Is Watching, but I couldn’t find it anywhere online. Hadn’t heard that song before but it’s really dope. All three of them sound great. Man, that album could’ve been so good.

Dudes, Ithaca and Ann Arbor have all of those things and actually affordable rent.
Yeah, but Portland and Brooklyn also have “near cooler places”, like the entire east coast and Seattle. Ithaca is sadly lacking on that front.
ann arbor is cheaper than brooklyn but it’s still pretty expensive, at least from my point of view
GPOY (“bearded men with pretentious music taste”—I’m also pretentious enough to note that it should be “with pretentious taste in music”)
UMMMMM ANN ARBOR IS A VERY SHORT DRIVE FROM DETROIT WHICH IS THE COOLEST PLACE IN AMERICA.
