My extremely vivid dream about Benny’s next album
For some reason I had an incredibly vivid dream last night that Benny dropped a new album, called “Concrete Grove”. I distinctly remember the cover being a sepia toned vintage looking picture of a tree in a park ((my vague recreation of what I remember) and that there was 13 tracks, some of which were very long (7 minutes plus). I also remember the producer list was crazy, though I don’t remember all of them. I remember these specific tracks by name:
-Dirty Dancing (intro track)
-Blackman/CRAWL (this one was prod by KAYTRANADA I recall, and was like 11:00 long)
-Uptown Dream
-B.L.G.
-All Punches (ft. WSG, Ransom & 38 Spesh)
-Charlie Rose (ft. Leon Thomas)
Besides that I just remember the album was crazy, and very big budget sounding for his standards
Hopefully bro manifests my dreams and drops dat Concrete Grove tape soonr

Scariest shots of the show?
Let’s get a creep out thread going
I’m down for a discussion. Give me any episode, and I’ll give my you my main pro, and con about it
Feel free to share your own too
If you had to cut one episode from all the original seasons, which would they be?
No ep is without its merits but I’m going with:
S1: Space
S2: The Calusari
S3: Revelations
S4: The Field Where I Died
S5: Chinga
S6: Tithonus
S7: all things
S8: Badlaa
S9: Scary Monsters
Episodes that originally had different titles?
I know of quite a few from doing research but I’m trying to get a list of all of them
-Excelsis Dei was originally “The Haunted”
-Irresistible was originally “Fascination”
-Grotesque was originally “Gargoyle”
-Unrequited was originally “MIA”
-Elegy was originally “Revenant”
-The Post Modern Prometheus was originally “Mutato”
-Chinga was originally “Molly”
-All Souls was originally “The Nephilim”
Anyone know any others?
I love the trend in S2-S5 of having an episode near the end be a MOTW/Mytharc combo
This is something I noticed upon rewatch. In those seasons the third or second to last episode functions mainly as a MOTW, but with important mytharc or overall conspiracy components that almost foreshadows the finale/next season setup
S2: Soft Light (demonstrates the lengths the government will go to conceal society altering research and development, which we see in full force in the Anasazi trilogy)
S3: Wetwired (demonstrates the trust and faith Mulder’s cared ones have in him and vice versa, which plays a big part in Talitha Cumi, Herronvolk, and Scully’s upcoming cancer arc)
S4: Demons (demonstrates how far Mulder will go to prove his belief in the paranormal and whether or not anything he’s worked to uncover may actually prove true, which is obviously the basis of Gethsemane/Redux and Mulder’s role in the S5 mytharc)
S5: The Pine Bluff Variant (basically the same thing as Soft Light)
In my opinion these are all some of the show’s best too.
“Shapes” false memory of a scene
Just rewatched this one (super slept on, has some of the best atmosphere of any ep imo). But I feel like I’m going crazy with a scene I swear I remember from the last time I saw this one
I could’ve sworn there was a part at the end of the funeral scene, where after Lyle leaves, we see Gwen turn back around to Joseph’s burning body, and briefly have a vision of the wolf creature standing tall and upright in the flames, before turning back into the corpse of Joseph.
Am I just misremembering, or maybe conflating this with another episode? I swear I can visualize the scene I’m remembering perfectly
Best three episode stretches in the show?
Some that come to mind for me are:
Syzygy -> Grotesque -> Piper Maru
Irresistible -> Die Hand Die Verletzt -> Fresh Bones
Kill Switch -> Bad Blood -> Patient X
Shapes -> Darkness Falls -> Tooms
Redrum -> Via Negativa -> Surekill

Just a few I can picture:
-SCARED 2 LOOK DOWN with Larry June
-GTKY with Leon Thomas
-SUPERPWRS with J. Cole
What do you think?
Could be a verse, hook, part of the production etc.
The one I keep returning to is the last 30-ish seconds of AIN’T GIVING UP with that chord change in the beat. Mesmerized by it every single listen
Tough call but rn I’m gonna go with:
Cilvia: RIP Kevin Miller -> Ronnie Drake -> West Savannah
TST: 4r Da Squaw -> Free Lunch -> Rope//rosegold
THIB: Lay Wit Ya -> Claymore -> Headshots
IBA: CAMERAS -> ACT NORMAL -> 10 STATES AWAY
