Sublime - Smoke Two Joints

[aeolianblues]

seen people calling this Fontaines’ pop album and that they lost what made Dogrel special, I think youse missed the essence of Fontaines D.C.! It was never specifically about the punk or the aggression. It was about Fontaines’ poet-in-the-corner observations. It was about how if five people with ideas in their mind came together and spent a long time carefully crafting a record, people who developed their taste in music together, people for whom ideas and motifs gave rise to music, then the music will take on an identity of its own. It was never specifically about the Lotts on the corner. The ideas will evolve. This is the best evolution of a band you could’ve asked for! If a few strummed acoustic guitars equal sold out pop for you I don’t know what to tell you.

some people simplify the persona soundtracks by saying p5’s is jazz, p4’s is j-pop, and p3’s is hip-hop which is partially true but a vast oversimplification, especially for p3. p3’s ost has a ton of hip-hop influences, it’s undeniable, but like there’s also a ton of funk, electronica, rock, and pop (especially if you’re playing femc). it’s got a super varied and interesting soundtrack, super unique not only for the persona series but also games as a whole. i think reducing the whole ost down to one genre is really doing the game kinda dirty.

Father T: A West Coast Fusion of Woke Trap and Storytelling

Emerging from the heart of the West Coast, Father T is carving a lane all his own. With a unique blend of storytelling, classic L.A. beats, and trap influences from the Bay and down South, his music isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel. The artist describes his style as “West Coast woke trap,” a fusion of sounds and vibes that both entertains and educates.

“I started rapping in middle school and recording with my bro in high school,” Father T shared about his beginnings. His journey into music was natural, inspired by a love for the craft and the stories he could tell.

Behind the Name: Father T

Father T’s name is as bold and unapologetic as the artist himself. “The name came from knocking down niggas’ mamas and aunties—older broads, you know,” he laughed. While the origin of his name is playful, his approach to music is anything but casual. “What makes me stand out as an artist is the meaning in my music. Every song is meant to teach a lesson in a unique way.”

The Inspiration Behind Chappelle

Father T’s latest track, Chappelle, is a playful, yet poignant piece inspired by legendary comedian Dave Chappelle. “The title came from the way Dave says ‘bitch.’ I was trying to channel that same energy,” he explained. The song balances a mix of humor and self-reflection, embodying what Father T describes as a “60 percent playful, 40 percent serious vibe.”

The message of the track is clear: “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do in life—unless you let them. At this point in my life, I refuse to let anybody tell me anything. I’m stepping on necks, that’s it, and that’s all.”

The creation process for Chappelle was as organic as it gets. “I listened to the beat, and it just came together. My bro JWatts made the beat, and I rapped on it. I don’t write my lyrics—it’s all off the dome,” Father T shared.

Visuals and Storytelling

For Father T, visuals are a critical component of his artistry. “I’m currently working on an animated cartoon with a ‘Bebe’s Kids’ vibe to preview the song,” he revealed. “The visuals tie into the track’s playful yet serious vibe, creating an upbeat energy that mirrors the music.”

Despite his focus on visuals, Father T admits that storytelling through words comes more naturally to him. “For some reason, it’s less difficult for me to paint a picture with words than with an actual physical picture,” he said.

Laughing at Life, Clowning the Haters

With Chappelle, Father T reflects on his life in a way that’s equal parts humorous and empowering. “The track is me laughing at my life and clowning people who think I care what they think,” he said. The song serves as a reminder for listeners to embrace their truth and tune out the noise.

“Music is therapy for me,” he added. “Every track I make has a unique theme based on my life in some way.”

The feedback for Chappelle has been overwhelmingly positive. “So far, I’ve performed it at a couple of open mic nights and posted it on social media. People are really vibing with it,” Father T shared.

The Journey Ahead

Chappelle marks a turning point in Father T’s career. “This song is me finally taking rap seriously, seeing myself as an artist—not just a nigga who raps good,” he said. With a strategic approach to releasing his music, Father T is gearing up for more drops in the near future. “I have a lot more songs and visuals on the way. I’ve just been organizing them so I can release them strategically.”

For Father T, the goal is simple: inspire listeners to live their truth. “Hopefully, my music motivates people to not give a fuck about anyone’s opinion but their own,” he said. “Never give up. Love yourself and don’t try to be anyone else but you.”

“It’s a fire-ass West Coast song for you to vibe out, feel yourself, and laugh at these haters too,” Father T concluded.

The Birthplace of a Cultural Revolution: Exploring the Origins of Hip-Hop and its Influence on Fashion

Welcome to our blog, where we embark on a journey to uncover the origins of hip-hop and its profound impact on both music and fashion. In this post, we delve into the birthplace of this cultural revolution, tracing its roots back to the vibrant streets of the South Bronx. We'll also explore the close connection between hip-hop fashion and street style, highlighting how the fashion choices of early hip-hop pioneers became intertwined with the very essence of the genre. So, let's rewind to the past and uncover the rich history that birthed hip-hop and shaped its unique sense of style.

The Birth of Hip-Hop:

Hip-hop emerged during the 1970s in the South Bronx, New York City, as a creative and expressive response to socio-economic challenges faced by African American and Latino communities. Its inception can be attributed to the fusion of various elements, including DJing, MCing (rapping), graffiti art, and, of course, dance. The neighborhoods became a breeding ground for innovation, and the streets served as the backdrop for this cultural movement.

Street Style and Self-Expression:

Hip-hop culture has always been rooted in individuality and self-expression. Early pioneers expressed their identity and creativity through their clothing, which laid the foundation for the iconic hip-hop fashion and street style we know today. In the face of limited resources, they repurposed and personalized clothing, creating their own unique looks that set them apart from mainstream fashion.

Influence of African and African American Aesthetics:

Hip-hop fashion draws inspiration from African and African American aesthetics, paying homage to cultural heritage and ancestral roots. Bold and vibrant colors, patterns, and prints reminiscent of traditional African garments found their way into the fashion choices of early hip-hop artists. This infusion of cultural elements became a defining feature of hip-hop fashion.

Rise of Sneaker Culture:

Sneakers have become synonymous with hip-hop fashion and street style. From Adidas to Nike, Puma to Converse, sneakers became a symbol of identity and status within the hip-hop community. The love for sneakers grew hand in hand with the rise of breakdancing and the need for functional footwear that could withstand the demands of dance battles and energetic moves.

Branding and Logomania:

Hip-hop fashion has a close relationship with branding and logos. As the genre gained popularity, artists started sporting clothing adorned with recognizable logos, transforming fashion into a form of self-promotion. Brands like FUBU, Karl Kani, and Sean John became synonymous with the hip-hop fashion movement, representing not just style but also entrepreneurial success within the community.

Influence on Mainstream Fashion:

Hip-hop's influence on fashion extends far beyond its grassroots beginnings. As the genre gained mainstream recognition, elements of hip-hop style started to influence high fashion runways, streetwear brands, and pop culture. Baggy pants, oversized hoodies, bucket hats, and gold chains all found their way into the fashion lexicon, transcending cultural boundaries and becoming iconic symbols of hip-hop style.

Conclusion:

Hip-hop's origin lies in the vibrant streets of the South Bronx, where a fusion of artistic expression gave birth to a cultural revolution. The fashion choices of early hip-hop pioneers became intertwined with the essence of the genre, fostering a unique street style that celebrated self-expression, cultural heritage, and individuality. Hip-hop fashion's influence on mainstream culture is a testament to its enduring power. From sneakers to branding, streetwear to logomania, hip-hop has left an indelible mark on the fashion world. So, whether you're donning a fresh pair of sneakers,rocking a statement logo, or embracing the vibrant colors and patterns of hip-hop fashion, remember that you're not just wearing clothes—you're paying homage to a cultural movement that continues to shape and redefine fashion as we know it. Let your fashion choices become a testament to the spirit of hip-hop, where individuality, creativity, and self-expression thrive.
