Freaky is a frequent collaborator since peggy’s baltimore days. If you have time check out the album they made together, 2nd amendment, it’s a banger. AVAA

Jpegmafia vs wiggas

the reason why most rap artists' guitars sound bad is because they generally use vsts and plugins instead of an actual guitar, or even when they do use guitars its generally without many pedals/effects making it sound very bland/boring/inorganic

I guess I prefer clipping when it comes to great experimental production but it’s hard to argue against Peggy being in that coversation

BUT I WANT IT NOW!!!

Prediction is he is going to bring up the kanye drama, fantano's opinion on the song and something ive never heard about in my entire life (Its gonna be amazing) Edit: idk what spud from trainspotting is so i got 2/3

avaa

AVAA, another PNGCARTEL banger, I hope the 6+ months delay was worth it for the new LP

Avaa. Been around since Ants From Up There and so glad you’ve been getting attention

I completely agree with your assessment that Peggy is the best producer right now, and I think this single shows that he hasn’t lost anything. Very excited for this new album. I am happy to have discovered your channel from the all-consuming 2024 rap beef - I think your analysis manages to be both insightful and charming. Keep up the good work! AVAA

Once Peggy uses that producer tag he used for a while, ik its gonna be a banger

AVAA nice one prof stay safe keep hipping & hopping.

Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole!

AVAA from a new fan! Have you already talked about the distinct Detroit/Flint sound that’s been emerging the past few years? There are some really interesting and funny artists that have captured my attention over there

Hearing your thoughts on rappers using guitar is such an interesting observation. I don't think I've ever heard that before.

Ayo, great review. This is an interesting take. Also funny

avaa professor🏄

the video quality is crisp on this one professor

Love you professor Skye ✅

Ooo this is gonna be interesting

CANT WAIT!!

AVAA, two goats crossover episode

Never realized you hit 100k, congrats.

Freaky and Peggy have a collab project called The 2nd Amendment. It’s probably my favorite jpeg project, you should check it out!

I think Peggy is taking a shot at lil mabu, but could just be general too

AAVA! Hey Skye, i think you should maybe listen to KEEP THE CHANGE! by Kill bill and Rav, its an incredible avantly garded produced album

freaky's only claim to fame is through peggy's music. he's appeared on features here and there and they even did a mixtape with each other back in the day. he has done solo stuff too which is def worth checking out

AVAA SKYE YOU GYATTTTT TO LISTEN TO THE 2ND AMENDMENT FREAKY IS AMAZING!!!

He’s probably talking about Lil Mabu ! AVAA

AVAA, the GORN got me ngl 😁

Jmargaret back at it again 😂

I know you just posted this, and I'm not sure if you've covered him before, but please at least listen to the new Mavi song - drunk prayer. super powerful and I think you'll enjoy it.

AVAA I believe freaky is an old friend/collaborator of jpeg's. They did an short project together a while back called The 2nd Amendment

Where the hec is the nxworries video??

AVAA. Damn have you still not listened to Amhac and veteran? I completely understand if not but like JpegMafia is like a very long story with a lot of reoccurring themes. And samples. Like the " make a mistake with me" sample he uses fairly early on his career and then uses nearly a decade later on veteran. And bla blah blah. I am too deep in the sauce.

Hey skye, just tried to get some merch from your store, the checkout button redirects to a 404….

Death grips was the guy. Now I honestly think it might be Billy woods/armand hammer

I hope you review video game music one day , the new Shin Megami Tensei game has pushed music to a insane level

I think it worked when Slipknot used rap in their self titled album

do you think kanye’s devil in a new dress is a good use of guitar in a rap song? great video btw :)

AVAA big fan of Peggy, his beef with Freddie Gibbs was quite silly

Peggy and El-P are my favourite producers right now.

You should check out Your Old Droog's album Space Bar. It contains a song called Yuri where he raps over an extravagant guitar solo which I find really good.

avaa

Howdy prof! Another great video, I really enjoyed the comparison to Rick Rubin and how despite having achieved the same thing. Aka, using guitars well in a hip-hop context they really went about it with completely different methods. Where Rubin is as hands off as possible and Peggy is the one making the beats. I would love to hear your opinions if you ever get the team on Das Racist, Heems and Sweat Shop Boys. Both Heems and Kool A.D. are basically grandfathered in the NY scene but have now splintered off into two completely different paths. We don't really see that many Pakistani artists and of Heems going for a more self conscious sound and trying to write in some more serious themes and ideas in his lyrics is something I think is worth digging into.

PEGGY PEG ME 😫😫🗣️🗣️‼️⁉️❗️

avaa, floor recording is jpeg

I hear you went down

He’s the guy

Just gotta say, I dont think rappers use guitars because of an 'inferiority' complex... I think its simply because guitars sound cool, lol. The rest of what you said still stands, and I do think plenty of rappers want to be 'rockstars', but I highly doubt they're comparing themselves to actual rock artists, moreso they really like the aesthetic of rockstars. And guitars sound cool AF (usually). But yeah, good callout about not using guitars as poorly as rock artists use rap lol.

Everything is about race. Love the channel.

Are you going to wait for Lupe’s album to drop to analyze his current new songs like Samurai and Cake? I’d love to hear your thoughts on these tracks and the overall concept for the album inspired by Amy Winehouse battle rap voice memos

AVAA!! just wanna say this review is what convinced me to listen to JPEGMAFIA on Apple Music, among his top hits was a song he did with Raveena that appears in the latter’s brand new R&B/soul album which is sooooooo good. funny how things work like that. thanks prof!

peggy is really the goat for using logan roy in a hip hop song😂

I like the song but the only thing that’s disappointing me is the freaky feature

"See, Jpegmafia had a problem [...]"

HE IS STILL TEH GUY!!!!

Great video! Album suggestion: BLQLYTE by Zeroh (Available on Bandcamp)

I thought it was dope

Avaa JaMargaret is the best jpeg nickname ever, I can't let that slip by without mentioning it lol

I really need to smoke a blunt with professor skye

AVAA just cause

"let that k pop put in on my soul" sounds like it's about taking ketamine for your mental health

zillakami is really good at using guitars

“They say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, I say the darker the berry, the deeper the roots” is a 2Pac line. And the white rapper cos playing as driller is something Lil Mabu is doing, please google him for context!

AVAA

Avaa

дядь попей водички, ты вмазанный какой-то

You think you know

please dont say wigga again. apart from that love the video!

Hmm

avaa^2

Avaa unc

can’t work out if jpegmafia is dope or just a bit strange, probably another AVAA time will tell i guess

also, jpegmafia is bi, so he's with his bi girl being bi that's probably cool as fuck

his flow is sick. but does anyone else feel like this is a flanderization of his sound and style? "say that shit with your chest out" lyrics, alien bubbly sounds as the motif for the beat (the ENTIRE beat this time), and an anthemic guitar solo on latter half of track. we've heard this all before and done better i.e. Ghost of Ranking Dread and Garbage Pale Kids. honestly i find the beat here to be really uninteresting (almost like a jpegmafia type beat you'd find on youtube) and his rapping has just been reduced to "haha white people" and "people hate me" and nothing else, and this song is a prime example of that. I called it flanderization because i can't think of a better term to describe jpeg's artistic trajectory in the past few years than that

Jpegmafia name isn’t jamargret. It’s Barrington Devaughn Hendricks. His old music name used to be Devon Hendryx. You also said his name was jamargret in another review of his music(I think the OFFLINE review) so I can’t tell if you’re joking about that being his real name.

AVAA, I could never get into jpeg. production is too eccentric for my taste.

You need to listen to more music if you think jpeg is a good producer 😂😂

This cannot be the best place to leave this comment, but I am coming back to this video after the pop out yesterday because I'd love to get your thoughts on Kendrick's setlist. I am definitely re-evaluating the meaning of those specific songs and the overall message he was sending.

peggy calling ye a genius in 2024 and then crying when ppl call him stupid cementing himself as this years corniest artist

he's probably talking about drake

I don’t want to make any wide sweeping judgment as to my opinion of jpeg based off the Kanye thing as Kanye has always been his favorite artist, he also is somewhat conflicted about the whole thing from what I can observe. That being said, briefly excusing fascism does worry me a little bit. If I got a call from Picasso that’s one thing, I’d probably go meet them. If I got a call from Salvador Dali, I would not entertain the idea because as much as I love surrealism, Dali was a goddamn fascist and I wouldn’t want his art touching mine for fear of my anticapitalist messaging being tainted. To be clear, Kanye is a little different from Dali and I have more sympathy for Kanye going down the rabbit hole to fascism than I do for Dali. So while I think JPEG doing work with Kanye is deserving of critique, I don’t think it needed to be as aggressive as what he got on twitter. I mostly just hope that he got Kanye to make some progressive art again in some way. I also have to mention that I am severely biased, Walter Benjamin talks about how we need to be politicizing art as opposed to aestheticizing war, and I take that guys writings as scripture a little bit. So when Peggy waves aside Kanye’s reactionary nature so he can make some music, I don’t see that as standing on the side of politicizing art, it’s sort of dissociating itself from politics in pursuit of aesthetics. I just think it could be sort of a slippery slope, but I still love Peggy and I am still excited to see what he makes. I don’t think any of this invalidates his work at all.

Yes, I'd say no to Picasso, and I think anyone with full knowledge of him would say no as well. The contrary is spineless and devoid of values or the will to act on your values. To say that ANYONE would drop their morals and soften their stances on racism or misogyny for a chance to benefit socially or financially is a self report to the highest degree.

You think this song is a Drake diss / lap around his destruction? Peggy references Future, Kendrick, the song Back to Back. The main sample "I hear you went down", the album is called white people (drake) vs accountability. AVAA!

"the blacker the image the whiter the roots" really reminds me of Drake

eh freddie gibbs raps way better

AVAA, "always" no, often positive new music review show 🤣🤍
