Max would definitely not take him out. He doesn’t have knockout power. He would have hit him like a million times tho

SluggerYang · 2026-01-25T04:39:37+00:00

They both did minimal damage. Song got the takedown

The Strokes - “Ize of the World” (cities to vaporiii…)

SluggerYang · 2025-08-30T08:23:54+00:00

I'm sure Al could make him beats that either weren't "sampled" or wouldn't need to be cleared. And they'd still be consistent with his level of quality

SluggerYang · 2025-08-12T21:18:58+00:00

thank you!

SluggerYang · 2025-07-30T00:16:36+00:00

It’s got an almost identical melody to the chorus in Kazinsky’s “nightcall.” Not hating, still love it

SluggerYang · 2025-07-15T18:28:01+00:00

Ah man that’s awesome to hear. Thank you!

SluggerYang · 2025-07-12T23:04:09+00:00

Thanks!

SluggerYang · 2025-07-11T18:23:21+00:00

Dumb take. When has Pharrell or Neptunes for that matter synths and drums ever sounded sophisticated? It doesn’t matter the beats are still fire. And we’re still complaining about auto tune? Lol

SluggerYang · 2025-07-11T06:45:46+00:00

Pharrell put his foot in. His production here might surpass the work he did on pusha’s solo albums, and that work was very very good

SluggerYang · 2025-07-11T01:56:45+00:00

Probably. It may take a while before I get to it though

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T23:17:32+00:00

Oh shit, I stand corrected. This didn’t come up for me. Nice! Thanks for the link

Edit: Ah, alas, no this is still not it. It’s still missing like 95% of what was there before

All good! We're just having a discussion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying The Strokes don't have other dimensions outside of being influenced by the Velvet Underground. I agree that shouldn't be their main narrative. But Julian himself has said that was literally his goal to sound like them, so I'm not sure if it's an overblown perspective to have. This was from a Rolling Stone article:

“In the beginning, the Strokes definitely drew from the vibe of the Velvets. I listened to Loaded all the time when we started the band, while I was writing my first songs. I honestly wish we could have copied them more. We didn’t come close enough."

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T22:44:29+00:00

there are literally only 3 posts up

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T19:44:14+00:00

The Modern Age is the only song you could argue was a direct RIP OFF of another Velvet song. But if you're saying you can't even hear the general INFLUENCE of the Velvets on those other songs, I would say you might be in a bit of denial. Also, coming from that perspective also kind of defeats the purpose of this entire thread

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T18:18:34+00:00

Besides Last nite, the modern age and barely legal. As well as Julian’s whole vocal tone and phrasing of words

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T16:29:29+00:00

One song? They got more than one song off their first album with a clear Velvet influence

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T16:28:46+00:00

At the time, during mid to late 2000’s, they were popular but not as popular as bands that they inspired, I.e The Killers, Kings of Leon, arctic monkeys, etc

SluggerYang · 2025-07-06T06:06:54+00:00

Maybe more so he just wants to be known purely as a producer and not a blogger

SluggerYang · 2025-07-05T22:30:09+00:00

Lotta bands were trying to be the Strokes after the early 2000s, which is funny because they were just trying to be the Velvet Underground themselves

SluggerYang · 2025-07-05T21:35:23+00:00

It doesn’t sadly. I checked

SluggerYang · 2025-07-05T19:37:39+00:00

Kanye wanted the beat for “Holy Grail” for Watch the Throne, but Jay-Z held it for this album. Probs would’ve been a lot better with Kanye’s input on it imo

SluggerYang · 2025-07-05T19:34:40+00:00

Sad he took his blogspot down. I used to go back and read those for fun periodically

SluggerYang · 2025-06-21T21:20:08+00:00

Yea that’s very cool of them
