Ampichino \ Rich the Factor — Midwest Tygoons (Double F)

Midwest Tygoons is a welcome collaboration between two veterans. Their sound is stuck in the mid-2010s, but it perfectly revives the spirit of the Jacka’s music.

The two “tygoons” share a region, but also a mentor. Both worked with the late Jacka, Ampichino more closely but the Jack gave space on his albums to Rich the Fac as well. It’s been almost 15 years since the last collaboration between Am and the Jack (not counting the posthumous CD). The Devil Rejectz series remains one of Ampichino’s crowning achievements, establishing him as an artist of great talent, not just the Jacka’s sidekick. Rich the Factor has been paving his own path in Kansas since 1997. He’s put out an insane amount of material, more than 50 albums and mixtapes combined.

We don’t know why they took so long to make this collaboration. Midwest Tygoons is a blast from the past, totally nostalgic in its sound and style for the early 2000s drug rap. It can be easily mistaken for a Bay Area tape, with its minimalistic and creepy production. Both artists have nothing to prove now. Maybe this is what makes this tape so smooth. Past their prime, they’ve found a niche and feel quite relaxed in their drug kingpins position.  They also bring younger blood, like Berner, Young Bossi and King Locust, artists the Jack worked with.

Ampichino captures the spirit of the album on the chorus for “Heartbeat”: “We big whales with sharp teeth \ Trying to chase mail on these dark streets \ Under the street lights we spark heat \ Put your ear to the turf and hear my heartbeat.”  Rich the Factor’s unusual mumbly flow and Am’s overly emotional delivery lay smoothly on slow beats.

Even though Midwest Tygoons was released on Ampichino’s label, the tape has all the flaws of Rich the Factor’s music. Roughly half of the songs here last longer than they should, and a few tracks wiggle and waggle with no clear focus.

If Midwest Tygoons was released 15 years ago it would have been a clear hit. Today, it is a dose of nostalgia for those who miss Bay Area \ Midwest collaborations in the vein of The Devil Rejectz. And there is nothing wrong with nostalgia if the dosage is right.

No one should be obligated to feel sympathy for a bunch of rich people who are probably dead after spending a grotesque amount of money doing something stupidly risky for no practical reason but that they’re rich and bored,

BUT

I do think it’s fucked up that some of you guys seem to think it’s a moral failing to feel anything but glee and delight at a bunch of people, one of which is 19, suffering one of the most horrific deaths imaginable that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

Would you mind sharing your views on backpacking? 👀

Take all of this with a grain of salt because I'm mostly just bothered by backpacking content on Instagram.

I think the concept is fine. I'd actually like to do some backpacking some time.

But backpacking content, as well as most overland* content, always has a really weird vibe. It almost feels like cosplaying poverty if you know what I mean??

It's almost always young people from the so called "West" and almost always they're somewhere in South or Southeast Asia. The most popular backpacking destinations I'm seeing at the moment are Bali (exclusively that part of Indonesia for some reason), Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The algorithm has recently also started showing me content from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.

Since flights to these destinations are usually quite expensive, and many of these people stay abroad long enough that they might need a visa and that accommodation and food would also add up, it can be safely assumed these people have a certain amount of financial stability. Some of them are full time influencers too.

And while travelling with a backpack instead of a suitcase makes sense, and while you want to have an "authentic" experience, the vibe on those videos is often sooooo weird.

They're always like "I just spent 45h standing in a cramped bus without AC because it was only $1. I'm sleeping on the floor of this abandoned building that costs me $4 a night. I only carry 2 t-shirts with me, can't find a laundromat and I'm travelling for 3 months. Yesterday I got scammed and got food poisoning."

And I'm like why are you doing this? Is it really more "authentic" just because it's a foreign country? You can find the same uncomfortable situations and people who live like that all the time in your home country, but when you're abroad it's cool and authentic and #humbling #eatpraylove. Meanwhile there's also people in that same country you're backpacking through who, like, have a comparable standard of living you're used to. Your holiday doesn't have to be luxury resorts but it also doesn't have to be absolutely god awful.

And of course there's also the factor of adrenaline and stepping out of your comfort zone but with these videos it seems like they're almost glamorising having an awful time in an "exotic" country because that's what it's supposed to be like? I guess?

Idk I feel like I should get the opinion of someone living in one of those backpacking hotspots to make sure I'm not just getting annoyed at nothing but I think the vibe is off.

*overland content as in "travelling from XY to YZ without flying - Day 420" type videos. They're often interesting and I follow some of those people and I actually have some ideas for cool overland or long distance train trips but some of the accounts also have a weird vibe. Most of the ones I saw were men and they're like hitchhiking through some desert somewhere and I'm like oh this would feel so unsafe to me as someone perceived female. And obviously they also make lots of content where you know they have lots money because they've been travelling for several months but it has that same fake low budget backpacker vibe.

I hope this makes sense. I'm not sure it does.

Ok, as someone who sorta defended The Crow 2024 reboot, and now that i've seen it, i have thoughts about it and i wanna share them... (More under the cut, spoilers ahead)

So firstly i liked the action, it was clear and you could see what's going on and the gore in those scenes was good, so no real issues with the action scenes. I really dug the soundtrack, the songs they chose to play were good and something i'd listen to.

I also like that Shelly had more screentime and got to be more of a character, that was fun and FKA twigs played her well in my opinion. Bill Skarsgard gave a good performance, as basicly always, with his Eric too.

Now my biggest issues is with the story itself, and especialy the pacing, it was SO slow, we spent like half the movie on Eric and Shelly while watching the villians look for Shelly, while also barely any real time has passed for Eric and Shelly, or at least it didn't feel like much of a time has at all passed between Eric and Shelly running away and being murdered.

And even once the couple gets killed by the villians, it takes us like another third of the movie for Eric to really become the Crow, for most of the movie he's just Eric with healing powers, and only becomes The Crow right before the opera scene, whitch is way too long for something based on a comic that's mostly just Eric being The Crow and hunting Shellys killers.

Another thing i dislike is the villians and their story, the original idea for the villians was just a group of street criminals coming across Eric and Shelly on a random day in the rain as their car broke down and deciding on a whim to do what they did, that was the tragedy, that it was random, senseless and didn't have to happen if a single thing happened differently. And changing it to a group of rich people hunting Shelly specificaly due to an incriminating video is such an odd change, along with the change to give the main villian superpowers.

Another thing that i feel like is a big difference between the comic and the movie is that the movie is very literal and very open about Eric coming from the death, healing super fast and there being supernatural entities and superpowers, while in the comics it was all more lowkey with Eric not feeling pain and healing slower than what the movies show, with his walking around wounded and scarred, the crow talking being in his head, same for the skeleton cowboy and the vision of the white horse that was a metaphor for the conflict of the story, it was a random senseless act that Eric had no control over yet he couldn't leave it be and blames himself for what happened.

In the movie it's a literal thing that happened to child Eric and doesn't set up his character arc and personal conflict of not blaming himself and moving on. Whitch was WHY he came back for revenge, because he was angry, blamed himself and couldn't move on, something he was only able to do at the end when he died at Shellys grave.

Whitch brings another change i disliked, the ending, the original ending of the comics is about Eric finaly being at peace and being able to move on and die, joining Shelly in the afterlife. But in the movie the reason he keeps going on is from pure love (somehow he felt such love after such short time) that can waver and make him loose his powers until making a deal for Shelly soul and becoming The Crow, bringing Shelly back to life while Eric stays dead. That just kinda misses the point, there wasn't no coming back and living again, it was about Eric having to come to peace and move on, it was a bittersweet ending but it was fitting the story and the themes, but just like the white horse methaphor, the movie ignores that.

So all in all, as a movie it's alright, but as a Crow adaptation it's overall kinda awfull in most ways. If you enjoyed the movie, good for you, but i personaly didn't really like it as a Crow adaptation and think it could've been much better. One thing i will give the movie for sure tho, is that it skipped Shellys assault, something i think wasn't entirely neccecary to motivate Eric to do what he did.

From the photo album of Lord Arthur Kirkland- Amelia, Smith College, 1883

Historical Note: In 1866, the first all women-baseball team was formed at Vassar College. While this first team, and the many that followed, never lasted long due to outside pressures related to fears that such "manly" activities would harm the female reproductive system, many unofficial teams began to pop-up at the women's college of the Eastern United States. One such team was formed at Smith College in 1883. For many of these early sport pioneers, the uniform consisted of wool dresses that went from either the ankle to just above the knee. Often teams would personalize them with embroidery and other design choices.

i think if you’re already struggling to read/understand the male characters despite their prominence and accessibility, you might not yet be able to comprehend the female characters of the series

[coconox]

your posts made me like mammon. Like at first I was more interested in Satan but bc of ur posts I re-read some of mammons stuff and I can't stop thinking about him!!!!!! He's so dumb yet so heartfelt at times!!!!!!! Man will talk about how much he loves ass and then just say thebmost heartfelt and romantic thing and end it with a :) . aughhhh and the fact that in his selfie story the entire reason he even participated in the event was cause he wanted to prove his worth to Mc. How he declares he owns everything but when it came to Mc he decides to let them own him. And how in turn he hopes that Mc will want him. ITS ABOUT MAMMON WANTING TO BE EQUALS WITH THEM. HE PROMISES TO BE THEIRS IN HOPES OF THEM DECIDING TO BE ETERNALLY HIS. AUGGGHHHHH

I also find his dynamic with Satan to just genuinely be funny. It's like a big dog with a smaller one. I hope we get to see more of his relationships with the other kings.

YAYYYY ANOTHER MAMMON ENJOYER \(^^)/ !!!

definitely adding on to what you’re saying another reason why i really REALLY like him is that he’s one of the very few that don’t outright mention that mc is a descendant of solomon, like he knew but is very aware mc is a separate person entirely and doesn’t go on and on about solomon unless asked. but even then he kinda brushes off his opinions on solomon and immediately goes back to talking about mc or in general a different topic. ALSO THE CONFESSION OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT…….. GOT ME BLUSHING, GIGGLING, KICKING MY FEET AND TWIRLING MY HAIR AAHHHSHHDHFHDHFH he’s so gentle around them and when he :) i LOSE IT HE REALLY IS DUMB AND HEARFELT AND I MEAN IT IN THE MOST AFFECTIONATE WAY POSSIBLE HSHFHSJ
