girl in a room with a boy, his walls covered in gtb sbe kinda album art. shes taking a video with her phone making fun of him and laughing at him. he goes "i really am the fool". just trying to find the video cuz that shit has not left my head in like 2 weeks (presumably posted around that time on tt/reels)
I hope u guys like it! any & all feedback is greatly appreciated ^☆♡… 🏄♂️ #skinnyfat
it’s just perfect man. the first part feels insanely entertaining and catchy, i love all the sounds in the background that create this whole sonic landscape. then it feels like maybe exhaustion catches up with bladee, transitioning into the 2nd part which is just PERFECT.
this track feels incredibly deep and personal, and the whitearmor production on both parts is absolutely mindblowing.
thank you bladee for this masterpiece. great album overall, for me it feels like the dark twin brother of Crest and it’s really beautiful. peace.
You may now agree
absolutely floored by this song ..
[Part I]
[Verse]
My mirror so much more beautiful than I
Trippin' like shoelaces, we're tied
To remain soulless for a while
I'll be a joke to make you smile
Growing so old, get sick and die
They look a little old, we're sick of time
Ticking around and round and round
No one notices my cries
And no one cares if I am kind
So if I was mindless, it's the fine
If we come back like less next time
Or is it hopeless seeking help
Or is my selflessness not right
Am I just egotistic now?
Doing just a little takes a lot
But what is left if we do not?
Is it supposedly enough
To do bare minimum a lot?
You're a wound, oh, just a scab
Something just meaningful and bad
We were both beautiful and sad
If only both of us had had
You're a wound, oh, just a scab
Something both meaningful and bad
We were both beautiful and sad
If only both of us had had
Segue]
I'm thinkin', oh
I'm thinking, no distraction
I'm drinkin', oh
I'm thinking, no distraction
Tell me, kind person, could you help me?
I have found myself becoming so selfish
I hyperfocus on my own affliction (I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin')
Thus manifesting what isn't
Oh kind stranger, I fear I am now in danger, and
I fear I can't take it much longer
Only the kindness of a stranger can help me save her
Princess of my devotion, for you are across the ocean
[Part II]
[Intro]
Disgusting
Pathetic
[Verse]
Where fear flowers, I cannot
Under the dark and permafrost
Waiting to fly tonight, a raven
Waiting to hear the ultimatum
Just about to late to stop
Just in time to try, but not
Into your arms and not the vacant
Into a time of contemplation
Despite many brave attempts
Can't escape the depths of death
Could this shame be all I got
From all these years of work, for what?
All this love became frustration
All of the gold turns so degrading
Everything was once not this
Nothing left to lose or risk
[Interlude]
What if I can't win over next time?
What if I can't win next time?
I can't win next time
I can't, I can't (Oh-oh)
I can't (Oh)
What if
What if next time I never come out the other side? (Oh, oh)
[Outro]
The lesson is between
The rest is history
Our stories in the sky
Ignites a golden shrine
If I could find the way tonight
To find the energy to fight
Then I would search until I die
Because of you, my only light
If I could find the way tonight
To find the energy to fight
Then I would search until I die
Because of you, my only light
Our stories in the sky
Ignites a golden shrine
If I could find the way tonight
To find the energy to fight
Then I would search until I die
Because of you, my only light
If I could find the way tonight
To find the energy to fight
Then I would search until I die
Because of you, my only light
Destroy
Crush them
Destroy, destroy
Crush them
i think yalls relationship to music is completely fried lmao
why do yall feel the need to rate an album the second it drops and write a whole pitchfork-style paragraph about it ? you barely had time to sit with it, enjoy it, or let it grow on you
why does every piece of art need to be intellectualised and dissected immediately, like music only has value if it can be analysed fast and efficiently ? what are yall trying to prove, and to who ? it feels like yall approach art with a capitalist mindset (instant opinion, instant ranking, instant verdict). you’re not even letting yourself experience the art anymore, you’re just consuming it.
and btw i genuinely don’t care whether u like the album or not. everyone got different tastes and u can’t force people to agree with you. so wishing death on someone over music opinions is even more insane.
this fanbase genuinely sucks, it feels more like a competition over who has the “superior right taste” rather than people actually bonding over shared music interests
edit : not saying having an opinion / analysis is bad, i’m only talking about the fact that conclusive opinions are delivered so quickly about something that came out 9hours ago !
(Excluding collab tapes)
I've been listening to this album non stopped since 11am...
Honestly I didn't really have any expectations for this album good or bad, I was however very curious what it would be about/sound like due to all the things Bladee has said about where he is in his career on his more recent work like Cold Visions. I was really hoping he would continue the high fantasy themes hes been using in more recent years and it seems he went all out. It never fails to blow my mind how he can keep making new sounds/waves that sound entirely unique. I think the cover art is his best yet. Also its so great to have whitearmor back on the reigns for production no shade to our other goats, I just needed a vein full of Whitearmor sound Overall I think this album is outrageously great and I have a feeling there more to come. 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️
spent multiple hours of my 9-5 making this
That as well as Dolor and Scab and although this may not be my absolute favourite release/drop/album of Bladee's, it's still pretty good so far and I'm digging it a little more than I thought I would especially after hearing whatever Blondie was. What about y'all tho ?
We got Bladee and Thaiboy this would be such an amazing year for drain if we got some Ecco too, please ecco2k bless us with an album!!
incredible work bladee keeps peaking
conceptually sonically lyrically
unbelievable
Fox and Birch is something I’ve never heard from Bladee before. It sounds like a retelling of an ancient folklore.
It’s very intentional and orchestral like the big change in the middle of the song. the strings coming in pairs with the change in vocals remind me of
the different movements or sections you hear in orchestra music. Like Vivaldi 4 seasons or the nutcracker
In fairness to bladee dissing other rappers for not saying anything interesting (he’s right btw)…
WHO ELSE IS MAKING ORCHESTRAL ANCIENT FOLKLORE MAGICAL RAP???
NOBODY!!! THATS WHY HES MY SWEDISH GOAT WHO CAN DO NO WRONG. KANYE CPULDNT MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. NOBODY COULD.
Nobody in the current rap landscape could make something this artsy and cool.
Will drop the link to the video I make that breaks down some of the cool musical movements and glaze how incredible this album is if I don’t hate the video lol. Anyway!!
I went to school for music and I love bladees music bc he does suck interesting stuff. Lmk if anyone feels the same or any thoughts on the track
GOD BLESS SERBIA, SULFUR SURFER IS FROM SERBIAN MYTHOLOGY. THE SURFER WAS A SHEPARD IN KOSOVO IN 1994. AND FROM WHAT I HEAR, HE WAS A PRETTY BAD GUY
thank u bladee
what are yall first thoughts after listening to the album?
