aesop rock had awesome moments but I couldn't stand kimya dawson and it kind of ruined the album

[CrashBand]

i think it was perfect for me, ignoring the fact i rly like kimya dawson, i like aesop rock, but since he's so dense he better to handle in small amounts for me. i find it rly hard to listen to a whole album of his tbh

Since we were speaking about Aesop Rock yesterday.... I did something I had never attempted before...

http://rapgenius.com/Aesop-rock-daylight-lyrics

Pretty interesting shit... rapgenius likes to reach at times, but it helped me understand some of the small details I didn't catch before.

I also use that site for Ghostface and Mf Doom at times, and it actually helped me break down ether and contextualize a lot of the disses... Rapgenius can be alright at times it's just you have to you know not to be an idiot when you use it tho...

Like I shit you not this is a breakdown of the meaning of the phrase fuck that by kdot in ADHD

The overall concept of the song is that a person diagnosed with ADHD is going to have a short attention span when it comes to thoughts, conversations, etc. They display a sense of apathy characterized by the “fuck that” mentality.

Kendrick pronounces “that” with a weird inflection so to make it sound like the word “thought,” referring to how people use drugs as a way to avoid thought. The marijuana, alcohol, painkillers all mess with and disable our thoughts. It’s a social commentary on the mental state of the ever-increasing medicated and apathetic youth. It’s important to add that he’s not judging them for the “Fuck That” mentality. He’s merely showing the state of his Section 80 generation and highlighting that they are more than anything a PRODUCT of their times.

“Fuck that” is also pronounced in a way to sound like he could be saying “Fuck Dot”, a reference to his former rap name “K-Dot”. Saying “Fuck Dot” could be Kendrick’s way of saying he has moved beyond his old ways and is now proud to be Kendrick Lamar; a kid who doesn’t need 8 doobies, 12 bottles, 2 pills or a half weight to make him happy.

It’s not unlikely that Kendrick is trying to be ambiguous here; rappers often bend words phonetically to give them new meanings. M.I.A. does so in “Lovalot”, making “I really love a lot” sound like “I really love Allah,” which is pertinent given that a huge part of the song is a response to Russian teenager Dzhennet Abdurakhmanova’s 2010 suicide bombing. Kendrick very powerfully complicates the subject matter of his song the same way, so consider the way he says “Fuck that” a triple-entendre / sound pun

[dead prez]

Triple entendres all over the place on top of hidden allusions, kdot truly is the gawd.

Kesha might make the worst music of all time tbh

[Accor]

Kitty pride and faggot are the goats.

[classthe_king]

There's just so much terrible pop music that's actually enjoyable. I mean even Katy Perry is better than Kesha m8

[dead prez]

Do you listen to bjork class, you need to Stan that real pop music and not that hermaphrodite lady gaga. Also Katy perry is dope.

[classthe_king]

No. And I don't stan any pop music. I haven't listened to Lady Gaga in years although her first album and that EP were great
