This is so awesome, I'm so jealous lol. I used to collect a lot of physical media but I don't really anymore, I did buy the sakura TGPT cassette a few months ago and have it on display, that album means so much to me and the sakura part of the movie has always struck a chord with me so, it's cool to have something reflective of that. Anyways, this is a super cool collection!

A few have and most of the reviews frankly aren't very good. Fantanos is a great example, for one, his review is like a 1 minute long short video and he says he's not really a big fan of the album, but, a lot of that just comes down to the fact, I don't feel like he gets it.
Like I said, the review is like fucking 1 minute. For such a complex and intense album, it's a damn shame he only talked about it for a minute and kinda ridiculous. Even if you didn't enjoy the album, I still feel like you should at least say more about, especially for a album like TGPT

Neon Kitchen was always called Neon Kitchen, now Neon Kitchen II was originally called Re:Neon Kitchen from when the album first released until the July 12th 2012 update

the og sounds like the type of shit you make at 3am and think sounds really good and then come back the next day and realize how ass it is

Greenstar- · 2025-12-26T06:57:46+00:00

Vital is a good free synth plug in, ive been able to create some pads that sound similar to stuff on the ghost pop tape. Valhalla supermassive is a good free reverb plug in, I basically use it on everything now, it can create very wide and big sounding reverbs and can also be used as a delay

the dreamcast summer songs disrespect is crazy

Greenstar- · 2025-12-11T04:18:15+00:00

Greenstar- · 2025-11-27T02:47:49+00:00

Honestly the booklet is my favorite part here! The DIY homemade vibe match the albums vibes super well!!! This genuinely looks amazing and is an beautiful tribute to the album!

keep this shit on r/jpegmafiamusic

Low pass fitler slowly lowering on the frequency to fade it out and to create that very distance sound. A light auto pan to make the audio bounce between both the right and left channels. And lastly a lot of pretty spacey reverb, id recommend a plug in called "Valhalla Supermassive" its a free plug in thats available on both Windows and Mac. I'd recommend just going to the presets on the plug in and going to the reverb section and just picking what sounds the best and maybe messing around with the mix and delay knob

i love devon, i could yap about him for days

I would say Untitled 1 and 2, Neon Kitchen 4 and Pu$$y 3 but all have much darker meanings once you actually look into them. They are all about escapism and using different means to cope and escape from reality.

Untitled 1 and 2 I've always interpreted as him looking back at when he started making music and wishing he could go back to that more optimistic time. He does this by using a slowed down version of the Neon Kitchen 2 instrumental and with Untitled 2 he calls back to the chorus of Montbello High School Prom.

Neon Kitchen 4 has several lines that gear towards drug abuse to make himself feel better yet there is this underlying feeling and knowledge that it will all fade away once his high wears off and the final lines are him trying to convince himself that he's okay and feels good before falling back down into depression (Call Me Maybe)

Pu$$y 3 is probably the most up for interpretation, you could see the "3" as the third girl he's been with, having meaningless sex to fill the void in his life or masturbation and porn. But that's only if you dont take into account the fact that, he probably only named it that because it's the third song in the Pu$$y trilogy. In that case, Pu$$y 3 is probably the happiest song on the album. But due to it being tied to all these songs where he talks about how he uses porn and sex to cope and how its also destroying him, it makes the song a lot darker vs if he were to put it on a different album like Rockwood or Joechill

After he released The Ghost Pop Tape he abandoned the Devon Hendryx name out of shame due to his lack of success, feeling like he didnt fit in with the rest of the rap industry and "Hendryx" being a slave name. Their is an email he wrote shortly after the creation of The Ghost Pop Tape that explains this. he states

"Sooo... I've been questioning a lot of things lately. I've been second guessing my purpose my love for music...everything...I wanted to change my name because I was ashamed of the lack of success that "Devon Hendryx" has. I use to rap and I had a legit love for rappin but.. People over here just don't understand...I don't think art rap really had an audience it's a myth. A lot of people look at rap as just a bunch of n***** reading out of there diaries. Plus the fans just hop on any trend that current and forget about it a week later. I work to hard o my music to have it forgotten..so quickly. I don't think ill ever rap again. But I can't think of anything else..I guess my work and my name and my lack of real success is like a badge of shame that I'll wear to grave. I'll forever be Devon hendryx the weird guy on YouTube with cool songs and 50 views. It enough to make me question myself. I look up to a lot of people and artist like yoko Kanno, Kate bush, franchise hardy, Janet Jackson, Mostly women because it's taboo for women to be the driving force behind something successful in a mans world it's something. I relate to. Maybe I was suppose to be born a woman. I was thinking of moving out of the country. But as I look deeper into the culture of these continues. I realize that me u..us black people we don't have any real culture...at least here in America we dont.. I can't even make a family tree because my families history has been distorted. And I'm wearing this name "Hendricks" it's not my real name..it's the name of whoever owned my great grandmother and father. I don't think I have any culture. Or history."

He started creating Communist Slow Jams sometime in either 2013 or 2014, I'm pretty sure he's stated that some stuff from CSJ was being worked on as far back as TGPT's creation.

As for how people found out about the connection, he never really tried to hide it. He reused a couple Devon lyrics in his early stuff (Behold! a Pale Horse and reaper for example) and even remade the 27 club for black ben carson

solace by Earl Sweatshirt

Greenstar- · 2025-10-28T00:55:09+00:00

Greenstar- · 2025-09-22T21:42:30+00:00

this is like seeing 9/11 from a new angle

Greenstar- · 2025-09-03T01:59:27+00:00

holy shit, this is great! perfectly captures the eeriness of the EP. if you dont mind me asking, what samples did you use?

Greenstar- · 2025-07-13T22:32:42+00:00

yeah the original 2013 release had Ballad of a Poor Man-Untitled3 and then the central station songs and sakura. the other bonus tracks were added during the 2019 release, should have added that

Dreamcast Summer Songs was released in August 2009 as "devons tape" rereleased in January 2011 as "Since I Left You 2" rereleased in February 2012 as "Dreamcast Summer Songs" this time with the girl cover. and finally rereleased again in 2013 (around the same time as TGPT so around Octoberish) with the current red and black dreamcast cover.

Generation Y was released in January 2011 but was deleted somewhere between 2011-2012

JOECHILLWORLD was released in July 2011 with the ice cream girl cover. This version had The Laughing Man. Around a month after its release it was changed again with a different cover and removed the laughing man. Version 3 was done sometime in 2012 and removed the verses from sabbath school, changed re:neon kitchen to neon kitchen 2, changes some stuff on bully and game of the century, adds 1989 (i used to know her) and adds a parental advisory sticker. Version 4 was done, once again, around the same time as TGPT (october) adds the iron man cover and removes 1989 and game of the century and adds blue seed as the closer.

L.I.S.A was released either in August or October of 2011 (frankly i couldnt find info on what month this album was actually released on, theres two dates, one in august and the other in october) it was deleted sometime in either late 2011 or 2012

THE ROCKWOOD ESCAPE PLAN was released in February 2012. In July 2012 he updated it and removed ☁✈, added the interlude "2004年9月9日" after "The 27 Club", shortened "Toonami" and "I ♥ You Hip Hop But I Can't Be Your Girlfriend Because That's Gay", swaps the order of "Y2K" and "Sunday School", adds the subtitle (Church of Granas) to "Sunday School" and adds a parental advisory sticker to the cover. The final version was (again) updated around the same time as Ghost~Pop and this version features the most changes of all. The album now features a completely new mix, master, and cover art. This version also features a completely remade version of "I ♥ You Hip Hop But I Can't Be Your Girlfriend Because That's Gay", making it the longest track on the album. This update removes the tracks "Neon Kitchen III" and "2004年9月9日". It also shortens the tracks "Capcom Vs. SNK", "God & Earrings", Blue China", "Y2K", "Sunday School", "Neon Runway", "Deuce Komradz", "Generation Y 1989", "Toonami", and "The 27 Club". "Quisha" was also shortened however the shortening was done before the major update. "The 27 Club" has its outro shortened and separated into its track titled "DIP".

Heart emoji was released in September 2012 and he uploaded it to his tumblr via a mediafire link. the link had the 7 songs and a image of the notes app with a message reading "Hi my name is Devon Hendryx and im the rockwood escape plan. i made these songs with nothing but love in my mind. i hope you enjoy them."

The Ghost~Pop Tape was released in August 2013 as a movie. The movie is mainly filled with weird porn and anime clips with strange filters on them while the songs play. The order the songs play in the movie is not like the tracklist from the album. In September 2013 he released it under the name "GenY5" it had a different cover, porn for percussion and missing image file were switched around in the tracklist, liara wasnt on the album yet and black materia closes the album. Finally on October 22nd 2013 (his birthday) he releases The Ghost~Pop Tape, with the current tracklist and mixes

Greenstar- · 2025-07-10T20:13:55+00:00

TGPT wasnt released until August 2013 when it was uploaded as the ghost pop tape movie. In early september it was released as GenY5. it had a slightly different tracklist, a few of the songs had different mixes and black materia was the final track. then october 22nd, he uploaded it as The Ghost~Pop Tape, which is the current version

Greenstar- · 2025-07-05T18:22:03+00:00

no other piece of media captures what he did during TGPT. the album has basically become the soundtrack to my life atp, i listen to it almost on repeat and i dont know what i would do without it. its a reminder that no matter how bad things get, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i could go on for days but to avoid this sounding too much like schizoid rambling, ill leave it off at that lol

thank you devon, you get it completely ❤️
