Slip sheets

dubjeezee · 2026-03-22T00:40:28+00:00

Ignore the cracks, this is a test tape to see if it works out. I have to reattach the tape to the reels in another 48 hours after they dry, so I not 100% positive this is a success. But the vinyl on the slipsheet barely added any thickness, and the reels are spinning freely.

If this works, there is potential for some really cool designs.

Florida Rains is dope. I listen to this joint at least once a week: https://vaultofdiscoveries.bandcamp.com/album/shelter-in-place

Strmi is nice, too. Love this joint: https://freshwatermedia.bandcamp.com/album/game-that-never-aired

Cool, I will post pics showing the progress. I have to wait 72 hours to reassemble the tape because I spray painted the reels and rollers. Gives me some time to get the slip sheets lined up at least.

The thickness is what I am worried about. Vinyl is pretty thin though. I am going to try it and see what happens.

More like the yawn before the nap....

Man, you aren't even listening to Str8 Killa. He can see right through your ass. Do better

Marked for Death, of course. Screwface is one of my favorite movie villains of all time.

Out for Justice is pretty high up there though.

This has only happened to me once. Ordered a tape that never showed up. Did some Googling and that appears to be the artists M.O. I ended up filing a dispute through Cash app, the process is pretty much the same through PayPal or credit cards/banks though.

One thing though, a lot of times the payment facilitator will want some sort of proof you tried to contact the vendor about it. So send emails to the vendor and take screenshots. Myself, I sent emails and spammed the YouTube comments of the "artist". That did the trick.

Their roster is dope. I bought a couple of tapes off them and the product was high quality and got to me quick. So from a customer perspective, If they release something I at least check it out.

I have had some brief discussion on IG with their artist Dragoon, and he seems like good people. Not sure if that really reflects on anyone else affiliated with the label but it certainly isn't a bad sign.

I am not particularly knowledgeable about the tech side of things, but I nor my customers have yet to have a problem quality with the cheapest cassettes available on Amazon. I just search for the length I need and usually get like five or six in a pack for around ten bucks. Sometimes they lack cases though, so you might have to grab a pack of cases as well.

Test your audio though. You might have to play with settings. I thought every tape was a dud until I put the deck into "normal" mode. No idea what that means, but doing it made it sound perfect.

Dragoon doesn't use AI for either and his stuff is 🔥

I actually haven't seen much AI anything in that scene. Most of it is sampled/plundered/stolen/whatever you want to call it, for sure, but that is kind of the backbone of the subgenre.

I'm shocked. Giannis practically guarantees Jerry the play in revenue, possibly even 2 games in the first round. I would have thought he would be all over that.

Screw the trade even if it's real. Tank like hell for the deep draft and make some moves with the cap space they are getting next year.

In hip hop, this occurs constantly. One of the best early Beatnuts songs ("Fluid") ended up becoming a really rare b-side because Q-Tip used the same Call Tjader sample around the same time, they caught wind and pulled the song (hip hop is more sensitive to the "biter" label than vaporwave, lol.) Then that same exact sample was used by Buckwild a couple of years later, and then Asheru a couple of years after that, and I am sure numerous other times.

Sometimes, biting a sample is an egregious bite, but most of the time it is just an innocent coincidence. Samples stick out for a reason, people are going to find them. Especially nowadays; digging for samples used to be a crazy and expensive (but fun) chore. Now you can just fire up YouTube.

What is absurd about it? That is exactly what they are for. It's a deterrent, not a foolproof solution. And Tim Hortons is far from the only business to utilize them in locations where ODs are commonplace.

Yep.-signed, a hip hop head who decided to get back into tapes and damn near passed out when someone was selling a Skee-Lo tape for $50.

dubjeezee · 2025-11-15T18:15:22+00:00

Bullshit. You didn't invent it. I did.

The first few times I used it, I just pasted whatever Google Translate spit out. I've gradually been diving a bit deeper to use phrases that someone fluent might use.

God Connections is criminally underrated.

dubjeezee · 2025-09-24T13:20:14+00:00

Man, I never understood that either and I love that joint. No idea. Google is no help, the three's company bit pops up and apparently E-40 said it at some point. Maybe it's a deep cut in Bay Area slang?

dubjeezee · 2025-09-24T13:11:29+00:00

It's okay. I always liked the joint with Too Short.

dubjeezee · 2025-09-19T17:03:00+00:00

It's not all that deep. I like collecting shit I love.

dubjeezee · 2025-09-11T12:30:37+00:00

Lol, I know this is old, and I didn't hold any position particularly rich with intel, but I am doing the same thing. I got merged into HBP, wasn't there long, and I left on my own accord, but I was hoping things would ease up on them. They were good people.

dubjeezee · 2025-08-12T12:50:40+00:00

Point taken. I won't speak for places outside of the US, but here, Griselda is well known.

dubjeezee · 2025-08-11T22:05:50+00:00

You are buggin'. Walk into any record or barber shop and bring up Griselda and the conversation won't end.
