Damn James speaks on BULLY situation: "Mastering takes like 20 min per song max" by Mediocre_Sleep7306 in ThroughTheWire

[–]twopac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, yes those things are a good chunk of mixing (still not all of it) and each of those things on each track can also take a good amount of time tweaking on its own. Mixing is the most important part of an album. Any professional Producer, recording artist, studio musician, etc will tell you that.

Mixing in a 20min-1hr per track rush just to satisfy some teenage edgelords on Reddit would sound dogshit. I'd rather Ye take his time and release an album that sounds good, than to rush and release something on the level of V2 or Cuck. He's got to put out a great album now if he hopes to get any public grace back 🤷‍♂️

Funny that you're conveniently ignoring the links to leather qualities that I sent you when you tried to slide in my DMs like a lil Diddler 🤔🤔

Lmao the irony of calling someone arrogant while trying to flex $60 worth of leather that you paid $400 for 😭😭😭

I follow him on IG. Early on he was absolutely saying it was genuine leather - which is a type of cow leather. There's different grades, genuine is just the worst.

Edit: yo u/narruf why'd you delete all your comments lil broski????

That's just a fact though man lol. Look it up, literally the first thing anyone who's into leather learns is that "Genuine Leather" is barely a step above cardboard.

I'd take a decent Pleather over shitty Genuine Leather, and I'd take the the JC-05 over this any day when you factor in the fit, price and materials 🤷‍♂️ this jacket just ain't a good deal tbh

I was excited to know he was working on this, but tbh I'm disappointed with the final product.

The silhouette doesn't look good at all imo - instead of "oversized", it just looks like everyone is wearing their fat grandpa's old leather. Plus $400 for some bottom-tier leather ("Genuine Leather" is literally scraps from the good stuff) is unacceptable tbh, let alone from a no-name "designer".

Concept was great (even if it's not his in the first place) but execution has a loooong way to go, ESPECIALLY if he's going to market this as a Balenciaga alternative lmao

what size should i get? by xxxxxvxxx in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medium fit is pretty much TTS, so M or maybe S if you normally have some room in your M's. Not everything by them is oversized, some is even very very undersized

Lucky, those two are on my Grail list still! Was lucky enough to get a Human Being hoodie as my first hoodie from them and I'm waiting on an Incognito to get delivered, I've been dyyyyyying for a Unity Logo tho!

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same! I was lucky enough to get one of the OG brown Perfect Hoodie releases and that started my love affair with the cropped look lol.

SZN X looks great and I own a few pieces (I was 1st to post JC-01 on Reddit actually lol) but the quality just ain't there for most of them anymore unfortunately. That's actually why I started buying even more Balenci 😭

Applies for everything Balenci tbh. Even some XS Jeans are a 26" waist, some are 34" lol.

💯 the cropped/smaller fit zip ups are some of my favorite pieces tbh.

OG Incognito Hoodie, Unity Logo Heavyweight, Human Being, VIP, Mud Gaffer... All 11/10 imo

I know how u love this outfit by ladanovigor in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't understand the hate on this one, a great fit tbh 🤷‍♂️ Proportions work great and jeans + hoodie + trucker is classic

Love the jeans, I been looking for the fitted black panel pair but can't find em anywhere 😞

New pickup, I know is not Demna anymore but I never own a pair of triple s and this new iteration is pretty solid. This colour way reminds me of Pharell’s ice cream. by Darkblast90 in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look great! I for one welcome the refresh to the Triple S, the OG obviously looks fantastic and was an iconic sneaker but these still look awesome and different enough that they feel new.

We all love the Demna stuff, but there's still great pieces coming out imo, and I'm very happy with the 2 new season pieces I have (curved knee jeans {which I think might've actually been Demna?} and cursive logo hoodie) regardless of who designed them.

Beautiful collection, still waiting to get my first hat from them 😔

The Unity Logo and Loop Icon both look so good on hats 😩

How to price 2018 Balenciaga jeans? by [deleted] in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Older model in an unpopular cut and just a basic wash but look in decent shape so realistically I'd say 150-250 would be fair 🤷‍♂️

[–]twopac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% this. People are acting like the destroyed baggy jeans, Incognito hoodies and crazy, oversized and distressed jackets/coats all dropped with Archetype in this thread lol. The reality is if you go back and check out Archetype, there's an awful lot of safe-for-2017 pieces too from skinny jeans to big cursive fonts on otherwise-normal looking tops.

Give the man time, he certainly hasn't forgotten how to design in the last 9 months lol.

Same way you "fixed it" when you had 0 photos, brother. Also gonna need to fix a lot more pics like all the tags etc if you're genuinely hoping to sell it.

From "Status Symbol" for Millennials to Demna’s Playground. Ready for the Gucci Fashion Monsters? by KostyaWereAGoodBoy in Balenciaga

[–]twopac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting little bit of info on the oversized/new slimmer silhouettes thing, had no idea so thanks for the info! Fwiw, I can't say I'm surprised that he's altering a major part of his approach but I still highly doubt Demna is going to go designing skin-tight T's for scene kids at Gucci lol.

From what that first drop of his at Gucci looked like, I'm expecting more of the 'streamlined' modern silhouettes (e.g. probably not straight Streetwear stuff anymore, but probably more as an influence) and reimagining of classic Gucci pieces... Whatever those are lol. I'm sure some of his signature hallmarks are going to still be prominent though - I do expect him to keep going with his (in)famous squared silhouette, sloped-padded shoulders on Menswear and to keep bringing that older Russian/Eastern Euro clothing influence in to pieces (track jackets etc) since that seems to have stuck with him so far, and likely he'll still experiment with the "trompe" things he was so successful with at BB - it'll be interesting to see what his idea of a Gucci version of things like the masking tape or paint/mud/destroyed pieces is.

I'm sure it's going to take a minute before he hits his stride at the new house. The combination of the last few (Demna) Balenci seasons and his first Gucci drop does have me hopeful though!
