In Run for Your Life the main character is trying to escape someone chasing him. He hears the muffled bass beat from somewhere up the street. He begins to run again.

The opposite is true for a lot of people. He'll be doing a live video and so many people ask him to rap Guns and Ships. And they might not even know he's an actual MC. But I'm glad I knew clipping before Hamilton. It just shows why he was chosen for that part and I think it makes hearing him as Lafayette/Jefferson all the more enjoyable.
run for your life is incredible i legit couldnt stop smiling when the beat dropped. it was so satisfying when they brought the instrumental it. ingenious track.
when i heard the car drive by, i instantly started sharing this album. i was half listening before that, but it had my full attention at that point and i love it
Chago if you listen to literally hundreds of albums a year it’s not crazy to think that you might enjoy more music that’s different or experimental in nature, common sense
That's exactly why I stopped caring about this dude's ratings. I'll listen to what he has to say about the album, but when it comes to putting an actual number on it that's when I tune out. In fact I pretty much tune out any number rating. Making ratings on a number scale is so difficult because it's all relative.
@@aedile2819 The Show has some of the most visceral details, but the apocalyptic production of Club Down combined with the crazy detail of the vocals makes it almost just as (if not more) intense. Really, just about any track is a runner for the most gruesome/disturbing, since both Daveed and the production is at the top of their game. Personal 10/10 for me.
Shoutout to The Rita, Pedestrian Deposit and Sarah Bernat of 16 Bitch Pile-Up for very literally bringing the noise on their co-productions. Their contributions all reflect the unique character of their individual styles but are all integrated wonderfully. "Club Down" and "Attunement" are chilling, and the coda to "La Mala Ordina" is just, like, hot damn.
Note: Counterfeit Madison does the singing at the end of All In Your Head. If you loved her gospel inspired haunting voice, check out her band. She’s got a new album coming out, too.
I'm being asked for my opinion on Jesus is King. I only have a limited pool of evasive answers. You have to tell me what I thought about the album now melon.
Listened to it. Not really into noise rap. Thought the clipping (haha) ws a bit yucky to listen to. But then the lyrics hit you and you start having these horrifying images pop in your head, as each story just unravels. Loved this record, it puts you into a state that reminds me of a lobotomy
"The track piano burning reminds me to the same sounds i hear when i burn a cross in front of J. Cole's house" Your hate on j cole really doesn't have limits huh?
@@EvWuzhere average for kanye though, and ruined by the shallow subject matter and terrible lyrics. If anything it feels like kanye ruined the songs with good production which is even worse lol
@boo boo he thought if he threw in random references to bible verses then the album would be "gospel enough" and clearly failed. He really doesn't dive into religion in an even slightly deep or genuine way, feels redundant
This album has some of the boldest black power vibes I've ever heard It's emotionally difficult to listen to It's something a lot of people need to hear There Existed an Addiction to Blood needs a signal boost
@@izan6366 For me that was the climax of fear on this album, what a terryfing way to end it (before the piano burning, of course) The album got scary and weird a lot of times, but, to me, the theme of Attunement is the most """"relatable"""""" in a way, so I think it can hit home in a really dark dark frightning way
Splendor & Misery is a fucking masterpiece. The fact that it got nominated for a Hugo award says a lot and it should've won. This record had a lot to live up to, but dayum it delivered
You forgot to mention the fact that the beat of the car driving by is the same beat la chat raps over. This is to show that she's on the prowl in this world daveed is rapping in, and that she passes by him a couple of times while looking for him. Blew my mind when I realized that
I really don't think Blood of the Fang is trying to "escape the violence". It's a long, involved homage to the Black Panthers and similar movements, and a critique of movements like early BLM.
Derek Otis I would say it's also about seizing the implicit power that the fear and hatred the system casts upon marginalised groups to actually fight structural violence instead of being afraid to embrace being a "monster." Not becoming the kind of vampire which is created by and upholds institutional racism, but to use that power in the blood to hunt them down.
This is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. I really like it, and think that it's got a certain narrative to picture minds eye picture quality O don't get with most albums.
Absolutely loved this album. Didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m usually not into this kind of hip hop music. However I absolutely fell in love with tracks like Nothing is Safe, The Show, He Dead amongst pretty much all of the other tracks. Love the beats and how almost existential and all encompassing they are, but yet still manages to be incredibly listenable and fun in a weird way
i've never seen a white person understand blood of the fang and today is no different i have zero clue how you got a murder cult interpretation from a black rights movement song
Wait, Run for your Life's beat swells as a car drives past. It's literally titled "Run for your Life." Is this a nod to the Blue Acura in Story 2? And then the nails on the cover of There Existed an Addiction to Blood are 7x7 and the album contains Story 7. Also the nails on the cover are most indicative (if anything related to clipping.,'s discography) to the arrows at the end of the music video for Hunger of the Pine, which clipping. samples for Story 4.
Really missed the point of Blood of the Fang, there. Like, how did melon not mention the constant references to prominent members of the militant black power movement (basically every Black Panther that was every in the news gets their name dropped on this track) or dates relevant to the history of the Black Panther Party or all the "time to come back" stuff...
halloween is supposed to be spooky, not temporarily mentally warping. :( FAV. TRACKS - INTRO, HE DEAD, CLUB DOWN, ALL IN YOUR HEAD, THE SHOW, BLOOD OF THE FANG, STORY 7, ATTUNEMENT LEAST FAV. TRACK - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE 9/10.

Tyler Weston that finally clicked with me recently and had me like “🤯” my favorite track off the project
it surprised me when i found out daveed was thomas jefferson in hamilton, ive legit been listening to clipping for a good minute and never knew that
