Travis really has the means to push the boundaries of rap music with this one, given his following and hype buildup around this thing.

REALLY hoping it’s more on the experimental/concept side and not a basic push for numbers. Seeing he’s been working with Rubin is an awesome sign, shows he’s not just looking to surround himself with yes men

 

Curious on everyone’s thoughts on Uzi’s latest.

Personally, I could’ve done without the rage tracks (and the System of a Down cover). That being said, the remainder of the album felt like a solid Uzi project - some really excellent highs, but some mediocre tracks thrown in as well. Ultimately, I feel that’s to be expected of most 1.5 hr albums. I do appreciate the experimental tracks, and some of the more psychedelic, toned down tracks compliment the higher energy sections well.

Moving forward, I’d love more concise LPs with a clear, experimental theme, which I feel Uzi is capable of delivering. In fact, pretty sure if you cut this album to around 10 tracks, you’d have exactly that. Very much a numbers game at this point in the streaming world, and I doubt we could all agree on the perfect 10 track listing anyways.

Favorites: Flooded the Face, x2, Died and Came Back, Patience, Zoom

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Bean: +1 for your local roaster! Always good to support your small businesses, and they will likely be fresher. If you don’t have anything local, many roasters will ship (S/O my roaster, Black & White coffee)

Brew: Large batch of Chemex every morning for the household, with an early afternoon single cup pour over for myself. Hoffman method for both!

Whipping out the Silvia in the near future to get back on the daily espresso grind (sorry), will probably take over my afternoon slot

I brew Chemex every day as well, and use the same strategy. I always brew to ~600g, and start with a 1:18 ratio for a brand new bag, as well as a set grind setting.

Moving forward I only really mess with grind/ratio honestly, and haven’t really been concerned with temp or time. Although I’ve considered setting aside a day to play around and see if I can actually taste differences adjusting more variables….

Totally agree on expense though, I rarely ever throw out a brew so always want to err on the side of caution

Gotta say I think Memmy is looking the most promising for iOS. Appreciate you being extremely active and responsive!

Have you thought about reaching out to existing Reddit client developers for collaborations or endorsements to increase user migration? May go a long way

Looks fantastic, just in time for both cars to receive the upgrades!

I’m thinking 5th in constructors is a solid target for the remainder of the season

Dude same! Reddit was basically how I kept up with new music releases. Discord has communities but servers can be kinda chaotic.

Hoping this will be a viable alternative moving forward
