Man the sound sounded crazy I just watched their Tinh Desk in a damn library and it was better. Then the Espys crowd sucked.
Might be the biggest week for music….damn where Larry June at?
I’m at a lost for words on Clipse in a land where bullshit sells these dudes who been in the gsme for over 25 years and never were big mainstream stars doing 114k in their 50s….this should be a game changer for labels that older artists can still sell.
Facts
Agreed, I’m happy and truly surprised at the reception they’re receiving.
We’ve been seeing them everywhere and it’s well deserved.
Not at all, I agree 100%
Everybody is way too extra now with everything because if something is average it prevents people from setting up the debates and controversies they need to have dialogue and create content on social media.
Nah obviously not that part. It actually goes without saying but I guess still needs to be said for the cheap seats.
But is the CLIPSE NEW ALBUM "MID"? Like Bo is saying?
I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet aside from a couple of tracks.
I don't want to just rush through and judge the album off a half hearted listen.
Tomorrow or Sunday I'm doing a lot of work around the house and that will be the perfect time.
I agree with Mero when he says things today are either instant classics or mid/wack. This Clipse album doesn't have a skip on it. That jawn is a journey. But let's let art breathe before we call it a classic. Unless you're talking about one of my episodes, then that's different
My bad assumed you listened to the whole thing.
I was asking dudes who actually heard the project and had a minute to sit with it their opinion.
Clipse’s ‘The Birds Don’t Sing’ is a masterclass in artistic vulnerability

Nah I don't think he's hating, he just wasn't blown away by the album and that's his right. I have a friend who listened to it 3 times and he also wasn't blown away.
What I respected is that he gave his honest opinion after listening to it 3 times without outside input. Meaning he didn't look at or read any reviews on social media.
And I did the same because I had to early and I also didn't listen to or read any reviews of the album. And I liked it.
Aside from that they're talking about. I went through all of the Clipse albums, and although I like songs on the other albums better because they're classics.
This latest album is probably the best full Clipse album. Meaning, each of their other albums had 3-4 songs that were how should I say...
Since they said it I'll say "Mid". Or songs that are always skipped. I don't wanna call'em wack, we'll just say songs that weren't as good as the others on the album.
And that's on every album, at least in my opinion. But this latest album might have 1-2 skips depending on if you want to hear that beat\song at the time.
Now the "We Got It For Cheap" mixtapes, them shits were fire and classics top to bottom!
Clipse album is so well made that it’s almost hard to take the opinion of someone saying it’s “mid”.
Music subjective. I agree. But the quality of this music ain’t mid. You can say it’s not for you or you don’t like it but nothing is mid about it.

But they sound like old ass haters
Accurate assessment.
Man what are they talking about? We know what mid is. If someone gave you some mid weed you pissed the fuck off…nobody wants mid.
I’m torn between if they haters or if they out of touch.
I’m gonna say it’s hating.
When you say something is “mid” and how you back that claim up is “everyone says things is classic these days..”…their whole basis isn’t that it’s mid music it’s that well everyone likes it and it’s “Clipsmas” so we gonna be the ones to humble them.
thats what it felt like to me.
It wasn't about being a rebel or independent or honest
Its the age old f**king annoying character we created of the fake contrarian. Calling everyone else sheep just because something is popular.
But usually this is targeted to something black.
I dont want to go any deeper. And let my brother Bo live. But this is becoming a very frequent trope with him post espn.
Alright I finally gave it a full listen and this damn sure isn't a mid album.
If we were going on a grading system I'd give it a B+ or 4 out of 5 mics

They're doing too much and ironically doing the same shit that they're complaining others are doing.
The thing is going from a point of greatness and then immediately dropping to mid is a steep drop.
That would be going from a 5 to 2.5 as if there isn't anything between that.
If they think Euphoria and not like us is a 5 for example that doesn't mean the Clipse can't be a 4 or even 3.5.
I understand some of what Bomani is saying but this argument does reak of contrarianism.
As far as Mero I honestly think he's just going along with what Bomani is saying.
Is it hating if you don't really like something though?
They jus t need to use different language, a different vocabulary because mid isn't what they think it means.
Mid means average, or in most instances it's describing something as below average. If you ask someone about a restaurant and they say it's mid, you're probably not gonna wanna go there.
Regarding GNX, they don't have to like it. But they should give it the respect that it deserves. The rhymes were dope, the music was dope and it was well put together project.
Whether you liked the album or not it's not mid.
Fake contrarian….perfectly put. And that’s just as bad as what they not wanting to be. I like Bo I don’t always agree with him but the music thing doesn’t seem to be his lane.
That’s the thing though they not saying they don’t like it. They saying they like it and they are calling it mid because they don’t want to be in the majority and call it great or classic.
That's why I said that they need to change their vocabulary, because mid isn't what the think it means.
The fact y'all managed to bring Kendrick talk into the clipse thread shows the next level sucking off that's been going on for Kendrick. It's cool folks don't think it's the greatest lyrics ever laid over music like some of you do. It can definitely be called mid.
Its HILARIOUS that you say that because as a day one I can tell you MUSIC WAS HIS SPECIFIC THING.
If he could have focused on just writing and perfecting that. He would have been potentially a high level music critic of all genres.
I'm not sure what he has been going for lately besides trying to go safe viral with his LeBron Bronny Prime Shedaur takes.
I'm not a fan.
^^^^
You nailed it. But I also think they at least Bo knows EXACTLY what he is doing by using that label.
That's all I'm saying.
And you already know I'm first in line to defend opposing view points if they are in good faith.
I dont give a damn what you like but if you defending your position on some nonsense? Nah.
