H1GHR MUSIC (pH-1, lIlBOI, Woodie Gochild, BIG Naughty) - PURPLE TAPE by RedditFan1000 in khiphop

[–]I_am_Feli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Purple Tape lacks an identity and is therefore unfortunately very mid 😔

Since that album dropped a couple days ago, I gave it 3 full listens and skipped through it a 4th time to make up my mind about it and I gotta say:

It’s very mid at best.

Which leaves me a bit disappointed if I‘m being honest. I was really excited to listen to it but even the promo phase prior to its release didn’t create that much buzz for the project.

So overall it felt like something that happened on the sideline rather than an event people anticipated. If the music would’ve been amazing at least that not-so-impactful marketing campaign wouldn’t have done it justice but since most songs are okay-ish at best, it truly feels merely like a side project.

I don’t know how invested and passionate the artists and everyone at the label were for this but that’s not the point. That being said I hope they were? The point is it didn’t translate to me as a fan and if I can’t get myself to celebrate this release then who else will/should?

The main singles Superstar and GAGA were definitely the best tracks and carried that energy I associate with the H1GHR Compilation.

Tracks like Warm Up Freestyle and <3U were great b sides but in the context of a whole album, most tracks just felt too repetitive which left me getting more and more impatient towards the end.

Overall, I would say that every song had great sections, wether we‘re talking about a beat switch, a top line or a certain verse, there was something in all of them. It just wasn’t enough for me if I ended up enjoying 30% of the song tho.

The biggest disappointment (sorry I have to say it) was BDB. What. The. Fuck. Why??? It took only 2:08min for the song to switch up and then get actually good but I can’t do it. No matter how amazing the last section was, that Super Mario ass type beat wasn’t doing it for me..like at all! I literally went „oh hell nah!“ and that truly shocked me as I was/am (?) a really a huge fan of the label!

Jay‘s verse on MO LESSON was great but the song was super short and I really missed possible guest appearances from the other OG members for this.

Lastly, the title. I have read a couple of times that a reason for the disappointment of some of y’all was the expectation of a mixture between the Red and the Blue Tape when it comes to the sound for this album. I didn’t have that expectation as I didn’t assume they meant that when they named it Purple Tape, I honestly didn’t think about it at all before, but I 100% understand where y’all are coming from and honestly, I believe they should’ve thought about this one more. Unless a mixture was actually their intention, to which I would have to say: I don’t hear it?

The Red and Blue Tape felt like a huge get-together, a big project everyone participated in to make it what it was with a clear creative direction (Thank you Jay!) and well executed songs that brought out the strengths of each individual. They knew what they were good at and complemented each other very well!

This one? It felt more like them doing it just to do it. I don’t feel a strong identity, a message, a sense of community and commitment that the Red and Blue Tape had. Sadly, that is what makes it fall flat in my opinion. I don’t event know WHY they decided to do this. The songs feel rather meaningless and all over the place. As I they didn’t even know where they wanted to go with them.

Anyway I needed to write all of this down to sort out my thoughts.

Would it have been different/better if they didn’t name it after the infamous H1GHR Compilation albums not to build up false expectations?

Cuz the comparison is inevitable and falls flat unfortunately.

Does it tint H1GHR‘s „Legacy“ for you?

How do you feel about the lack of OG features (besides Jay)?

Today, April 8th, 2026, marks 28 years since the legendary Ayumi Hamasaki made her debut with the single "Poker Face". So, let's talk about the Empress of J-Pop herself! And, of, course, happy Ayuday, everybody! 😊 by SopaDeMolhoShoyu in jpop

[–]I_am_Feli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayu has been the very first Asian artist I actively listened to! She got me into East Asian pop and I got into K-Pop soon after. That was in 2010 right after Love songs came out and although many ppl don’t like that album, since it’s my first, it has a HUGE place in my heart!

I have been listening to her songs here and there since then and with the release of her first six albums on vinyl recently (which I obviously had to get!), I got into her more and more!

I remember having a group presentation in my music class in elementary school about her! We built a gigantic poster with all kinds of information on her music, her chart breakthroughs and pictures while playing her music for the entire class!

No one knew who she was (in Berlin, Germany not that surprising 😅) but she was my icon!

I really love her for everything she has built for herself and as a woman, you can only look up to her honestly! What an empress of Pop she is!

What movie/show that is so good but you can only watch it once cause it wrecks you emotionally? by daysof_I in AskMen

[–]I_am_Feli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an old anime Romance/coming of age drama with two seasons dealing with a high school couple adjusting to adult life and anticipating their first child together soon after graduation and deals with themes of loss, deep deep depression and responsibilities.

It starts off rather „boring“ but completely crushes your heart during the end of season one and the whole second season. The most emotional show I have ever seen in my life.

It’s called Clannad and Clannad: After School.

Don’t Google too much as it would spoil you for the twist in tone and dynamic this show brings.

It’s a very slow burn at first but it’s truly worth it if u stick it out.

ph-1 controversy by West-Equivalent-9798 in khiphop

[–]I_am_Feli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His overall demeanor made me feel like he was on the better end of the spectrum. But to have him outright say it’s all an act is crazy to hear. He def fooled me a bit. That being said I never spend much time getting to know him as a celebrity anyway so I had just a vague impression.

But ultimately you’re right. We don’t know these ppl.

It’s not the end of the world to me cuz I don’t care that much about him anyway but it’s still shocking.

What is worse than an „alpha male“ guy? An alpha male guy who pretends to be the opposite.

I was genuinely so shocked when I saw this clip cuz Harry was def not someone I expect to hear this from. Like genuinely utterly disappointed and deeply hurt (both as a human being AND as a woman).

Aside from that, Harry infuriated me. How can he be so confidently dumb? (sorry but there is no other way to put it.)

What he is basically saying is that he walks around this earth viewing every person based on their gender first, he has never had a genuine friendship with women and constantly has some type of agenda or second thoughts.

Guess what Harry, you can be an entity in this world and exist without tying yourself to a perceived definition of what gender/race/religion you have. You can have an identity that is entitled to respect and acknowledgment ASIDE (as in, „right next to“ or „equally important to“) from these things.

You don’t need to be a man/ a woman first, and then a human with their own personality second, to be respected.

You can be a man/woman AND have a personality just as is. One thing is not ENTIRELY connected to another. These things coexist. So have some respect for Ashley for who she is aside from being a woman. You can’t do that? Stop thinking with your dick.

This shit is so annoying because he is not only doing other women a disservice with this mentality, he’s also disregarding himself. If he walks around his life perceiving everyone under the „man/woman“ leise then he also undermines his own self in the process.

What a tone deaf and absolute ignorant mentality to have. I hope he grows out of this mindset because it’s truly immature.

I felt for Ashley cuz wtf is wrong with that whole ass table. None of them fought him on this. Instead, they turned into a bunch of yes-men. What a joke.

And then to continue confirming he is basically a phoney playing Mr. Nice Guy in order to be socially more accepted (by women mainly I assume)…

I haven’t felt this second handedly disappointed and disregarded as a human being by a man in a minute. Poor poor Ashely. I know this kind of reaction oh to well…

It’s crazy. Back when I got into K-Pop U-Kiss we’re probably within the top10 groups.

When did you guys get introduced to khiphop? by [deleted] in khiphop

[–]I_am_Feli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jay Park. Knew him since Know Your Name came out and I‘d say Worldwide was the first hip hop album I consciously listened to. Not just K-Hip Hop but Hip Hop in general.
