What’s Cage up to nowadays?

Has he retired from music?

I remember he had a patreon where he teased releasing an album called “The Death of Chris Palko” or something like that as his final record but that was over 6 years ago now.

No idea whats he doing nowadays…

Glad I got to witness this! Sound was god awful but a lot of the Def Jux crew were there as well. Long ways away from home for him.

Larry signed by Jeremy Fish!

Got to meet Jeremy Fish in okc at a gallery where he brought his current screenprint tour covering route 66, brought my larry hoping to get him signed and Jeremy was kind enough to do it! I get a bit awkward in crowds and i feel nervous about asking my heroes for signatures and stuff like that but he was super nice and seemed happy to do it. I wanted to ask him so many questions but it was packed in there and a lot of people were wanting to talk to him so i kept it brief and polite. He talked a little bit of aes without me having to pry at all like i wanted to do so it was really cool. Just super thrilled, one of my fav collectibles got a huge upgrade and i snagged up 3 beautiful prints at the show as well! Pretty decent night

Sadistik

Any Sadistik fans here?

I've grown out of him mostly as I've gotten older, the drugged and depressed but gets old. That being said, was just relistening to Ultraviolet and some of the tracks on there are still killer. The Rabbit hole has gotta be one of my fave stream of thoughts raps ever.

If anyone hasn't heard him it might be worth a listen, and if anyone has any post Altars track recommendations I'd be down to hear em.

Illmatic and Labor Days, comparison via several analytical methods to quantify evolution of technical complexity.

Ran all 24 tracks from both albums through a Morlet wavelet analysis.

Nas stays glued to the grid. Aesop loosened up, breathes more at the bar level, bigger vocabulary.

Daylight vs N.Y. State of Mind is the clearest contrast.

Full 26-page paper: https://chicohabitat.neocities.org/hiphop-evolution-illmatic-labor-days.pdf

Plain-English version with the charts: https://chicohabitat.neocities.org/illmatic-to-labor-days-interactive-case-study

Tear the method apart, curious what holds up. Im just trying to rigorously parameterize technical complexity in the genre, so we can have better objective analysis/discussions.

HMM sample

Howdy fellow Aesholes! Got a question for y’all:
In the song Holy Driver, it starts off with a sample (I believe) that repeats 8 times at the very start and then comes back intermittently throughout the rest of the song. My question is did does anyone know what it’s saying? I can hear “radar” and “later on”, my wife thinks she hears “they are” but also thinks “radar” is the best guess out of the 3.

Does anyone know for a fact of what it’s actually saying? I tried looking up the lyrics, but they don’t address the sample.
Great song either way.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Rather feed an apple to a deer!

It's apple pie season!!! That means we got loads of scraps every year. We save em and bring em out to the woods to feed the critters, hopefully a deer can discover some😃😃😃

Happy October! Happy autumn everyone!!!

May the weather grace you with the opportunity to skate to the store at night in this fall weather with a couple layers on and maybe Wu playing over soft wheels on a mellow inclined plane, It's these moments I could swear to anything that you're the ultimate although it may go against the frequency on which you would usually otherwise vibrate ✌️✌️✌️
