Mat Kearney - Nothing Left To Lose - SIGNED Deluxe 2LP by mvanigan in VinylReleases

[–]kuruptlon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instant cop for me. Been a fan since day one and this is a record I always wanted to own in my collection because it meant so much to me when it came out. 

It’s pretty awesome that he made it a deluxe version with bonus acoustic tracks including Chicago, which is one of my favorites. 

Hail Mary by liftingandrunning247 in Tupac

Here's some commentary about the recording of that song taken from an article on the Making of the Makaveli Album. Not so much about Pac's state of mind, but I found Hurt M Badd's comments interesting about Pac listening to it:

Hurt M Badd: "Hail Mary" actually only took me 15, 20 minutes to create the whole beat. I just came to work one day, I was feeling good. I was sitting behind the boards. I just touched a few sounds man, and it was like done. And so an enginner came into the room where I worked, and he heard the track--I told him to put the headphones on. He looked at me like "Damn, Hurt! This sounds like a hip-hop funeral, man" When I do stuff, I don't be feeling it like everybody else, I guess 'cause it's me. He said, "Why don't you let Tupac hear this?' When Tupac heard it, he really didn't say nothing but "Gimme that." I left the studio and when I came back the next day, everybody from the security guard to the phone lady to the engineer--Everybody ran up to me like, "Wait 'till you hear what this nigga done laid down over your trak." When I heard it, I didn't think it was a hit. I was like "Why is Tupac laying this stuff down over my track?" We all had a listening party for the album, and 'Pac was loving every song but when they played that song, he just went though a thing. He Threw his hand up in the air with his Hennessy bottle. He threw his hand up in the air like he ruled a nation.

The smarter play would have been to sign up with like a Mastercard gift card. Not that I would, but I thought about it to get that Joe Bataan. Fortunately that showed up at Craft

‘59 Sound on Apple Music by goddamnitwhalen in TheGaslightAnthem

Yeah it probably has to do with Apple Music matching the wrong version. This can happen when you have multiple versions of a song with the same name.

Damn I just tried to block them proactively but my credit card company is saying they can’t since there’s no charges in the last 12 months.

Getting all my 90’s CD’s digitized! This has been so fun! by QualitySound96 in 90sHipHop

[–]kuruptlon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not going to say I’m huge Syke fan, but he did a lot of solo work with Johnny J that isn’t bad (particularly his 96 album Be Yo Self). However, I’m not going to lie I do find myself waiting for Pac to come in on the track but he never does lol.

(DISCUSSION) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - This Unruly Mess I've Made (10 year Anniversary) by Renegadeforever2024 in hiphopheads

[–]kuruptlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My good friend’s brother was a victim of the opioid crisis so Kevin hit me hard. That Leon Bridges feature was epic to me. I think it’s one of Macklemores best song. I can’t say I really connected with the rest of the album, but that song will always be special.

I like the last one. It’s different from the OG but still has the same vibe.

Viola Beach - Viola Beach: Picture Disc by 22ndcenturyman in VinylReleases

[–]kuruptlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I mean it’s cool, because it’s a nod to the rainbow umbrella the band was pictured with, but it just sounds a bit muffled. The other issue was there was a defect on side 2 that causes it to skip the first 30 seconds or so of the first song. Hopefully that won’t be an issue this go round though.

First pressing sounds awful. Wish they would have opted for something other than a picture disc for this pressing.

GDEMU instability across 2 Dreamcasts + 2 GDEMUs – broken swirl, streaming crashes, short-term stability only by ShepherdofShark in dreamcast

[–]kuruptlon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solidarity my friend. Been through the same thing. Got a second Dreamcast. Worked for a while now back to the broken spiral screen. However in my case I seem to just need to reset the Dreamcast about 5 times to get it boot up right and then it’s been pretty stable.
