A'ight, Peggy reactivated his Twitter, the ER DIRECTOR'S CUT must be on the way soon LOL (or he just needa get da money in the bank)

PHOTOGENICMAFIA! (Tour IG Post)

Also NGL, I thought Peggy went back to the LP! OFFLINE convenience store in images 2 & 3 for a hot minute LOL.

Alright, I'll hop on the trend. How would you rank the EXPERIMENTAL RAP songs?

Personally (based on how much I've replayed them), my ranking would probably be this:

$ (Money) | TSAR BOMBA [R.I.P.] | babygirl | War Over Land | Valentine's Day Freestyle '26 | ¥ (Yen) |
Degenerate's Prayer | Burning Hammer | Pop this Heat | Meet the Dealers | GYBB |U are not alone | Since I Met Ye |
The Ghost Of Emmett Till | New Era |No Strippers in Heaven | The 1st Amendment | Mask On | Lights | Chat |
Bridges on Fire | head | 投影の芸術 [The Art of Projection] | One Day it Will Be Over | His Will |
You will always lose money chasing women, but you will never lose women chasing money | 內戰 [Civil War]

Do y'all think it's possible/likely that Peggy will put TSAR BOMBA on the ER DIRECTOR'S CUT but give it a new beat (and maybe a new title entirely)

Kinda like what he did with don't rely on other men, but instead of just changing the outro, it's the whole beat that's different. Also kinda like how JIHAD JOE was replaced by COKE OR DOPE? on the ILDMLFY DC and was relegated to the very last track on the B side.

*Tch*, this guy from 2007 must think he's JPEGMAFIA or sumn...

11 years too early w/ the title, 19 years to early w/ the fit LOL

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 1 month ago

Alright, I'm ready to admit two things about ER...

  1. Without the sample and Peggy's rapping, the beat for "babygirl" is insanely bland and average until the guitar part. Listening to the instrumental/sampleless versions of the ER songs makes me really appreciate how necessary Peggy's "percussion rapping" is on the album. Some of them literally don't sound complete w/out it.

  2. "Bridges on Fire" ft. Buzzy Lee has grown on me after I've listened to more since the initial release. While I still personally think it's the least good Peg-Lee collaboration ("Don't Put Anything On the Bible" & "i lay down my life for you" are still untouched IMO), it's a good song in its own right. I think originally I'd have given it a 5.5 - 6 out of 10, now I'd give it a 7 - 7.5 out of 10.

It finally happened. TSAR BOMBA has been removed from all streaming platforms, replaced by Valentine's Day Freestyle '26 (Peggy removed the initial release of ER and kept the reissue w/ VDF26 up, so there aren't two versions of ER anymore).

The only official way to listen to it now is via the EXPERIMENTAL RAP [FULL ALBUM] video on Peggy's YouTube. Otherwise, I hope you either downloaded it or know someone who can send you the file (assuming you liked the song).

R.I.P. TSAR BOMBA, 2026 - 2026 (u probably won't be on the DIRECTOR'S CUT now either)

*Also, if you see "Fan's Cut", it's just my rearrangement of the album that I'm gonna have to remake now.

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 2 months ago

Peggy has once again changed the message at the bottom of the EXPERIMENTAL RAP Bandcamp page. Now it says "撃て、撃て。臆病者たちは恐れている。", which, according to Google Translate is Japanese for "Fire, fire. The cowards are afraid."

I should keep a counter for how many "Peggy is a cornball" type comments this post is prolly gonna get LOL

Or, MAYBE he's teasing a song for the DIRECTOR'S CUT...? (I could be coping high on copious amounts of copium tho)

Edit: As pointed out by u/Express_Recipe_4832, it's "Shoot, shoot", not "Fire, fire" (L Google Translate, i guess)

Cornball Comment Counter: 2

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 2 months ago

Which artist that JPEG has never collaborated with before would you like to see him work with most? (Reddit polls r limited to 6 options, so comment an artist I didn't/couldn't include)

Reasons why I picked some of my options:

JID - Long time ago, Peggy posted on Twitter to basically say The Forever Story was great and they he'd love to collaborate but thought JID would find his beats "offensive". JID responded saying he likes Peggy's work and would be down to work together. To this day, nothing has come of it.

Tyler, The Creator: There's an interview from a WHILE back where Peggy was asked his thoughts on Tyler, and he responded by saying Tyler's a good business man and he respects him (and we know based on his comments of praise towards BTS that he likes people with a particular business/work ethic).

Clairo: They're just good friends who are both great artists that haven't actually collaborated yet (or at least, they've never released anything together).

The Weeknd: I believe when Hurry Up Tomorrow released, Peggy posted on his Instagram story that he thought the track "São Paulo" was incredible and said that he "wished he made the beat". This indicates to me that he, at the very least, respects Abel's work and would be fine working with him on sumn.

I'm actually gonna retract an opinion about EXPERIMENTAL RAP...

I previously said that "head" off of ER was a song I wasn't too crazy about in one of my last posts. After listening to it again (and the instrumental only version), I have realized that while the lyrics themselves might not be the greatest (even for Peggy standards), it made me remember how immaculate & experimental the beat is!

So yeah, I no longer consider head mid, it's actually kinda sick. That's it.

Y'know, despite my engineer telling me that I shouldn't post this here (iykyk), after many re-listens & much, MUCH thought and consideration, I have formed my own personal opinion that...

EXPERIMENTAL RAP is just as good of an album as OFFLINE!, SCARING THE HOES & Veteran.

Yes, there, I said it.

Now, is it a perfect album, no. But guess what, no JPEGMAFIA album is. MOST of JPEG's projects have at LEAST one song I either don't like or am not too crazy about:

Black Ben Carson: Black Stacey Dash, FDAU, ALL CAPS NO SPACES
-
Veteran: THIS SONG IS A SAFE SPACE, Libtard Anthem
-
All My Heroes Are Cornballs: Sick, no disease
-
EP!: ROUGH 7!, BALD! REMIX
-
EP2!: Sick, no disease
-
OFFLINE!: NEMO!, THE GHOST OF RANKING DREAD!
-
SCARING THE HOES: Where Ya Get Ya Coke From?, Manic!
-
ILDMLFY: Sick, no disease
-
EXPERIMENTAL RAP: head, ywalmcw,bywnlwcm

I understand that, to some, liking this album makes me a bot and a cornball and a JPEG glazer and a loser (which, it's weird that being that 3rd one is a problem for some on this sub, but whatever). And that is okay, I can live w/ that.

To anyone who actually doesn't like this album or don't feel too crazy about it & have honest critiques of it, that is okay too!

To anyone who's (still) just hating/trolling for the sake of hating/trolling or because Peggy said sumn 'bout ur favorite rapper MONTHS AGO, you suck and ur weird!

That's it (also MODs, when are y'all gonna add an Experimental Rap user filter/tag?)

You get to choose only ONE, which track from Peggy are you bringing out of the vault and onto streaming platforms?

I know there's plenty I couldn't include 'cause Reddit only allows 6 poll slots. If you'd unvault any track not on the list, say it in the comments.

Basically The Fanbase After Peggy Declared Himself King of Experimental Rap:

But fr, if Peggy doesn't sample this as a soundclip on the ER DIRECTOR'S CUT or his next project, it'll lowkey be the biggest missed opportunity of the century IMO.

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 2 months ago

BOY YOU $HOULD BE GETTIN' MONEY! (Boy You Should Know! Part 2 Verse x $ (Money) Instrumental)

Some mashup I made. It's a lil funky, but the idea for it kept popping in my head, so I just went ahead and made it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 2 months ago

Does anyone know what the "Valentine's Day Freestyle '26" sample is?

I.e. the woman saying "When you call my name, I know, I know that, that"

u/Obvious-Ad-73 — 2 months ago

EWWWWW!!!! These beats from JPEG are so... so... normal. Blegh!!!!!

But in all seriousness, Maxo Kream dropped another song w/ production from Peggy. I wonder if it's gonna be a collab album where Peggy produces every song, or if it's just coincidence that he produced 2 songs on Maxo's upcoming album? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
