Mastering the Art of Tension and Relief: Pink Floyd, Flying Lotus, and Childish Gambino

May 18, 2020 - Created by Brandon Hill

Nicholas Ma, Cover Art, Pink Floyd, Flying Lotus, Childish Gambino, You're Dead!, 3.15.20, Dark Side of the Moon, Tension and Relief

Life is rarely easy and just as often unpleasant. When great art imitates life, great artists recreate the strength of life’s best moments with the pain and confusion of its worst. Some projects go above and beyond surface level thematic connections to tie the very soundscapes of an album to the great never-ending confusion and chaos of existing.

kool keith legacy

Kool Keith, the original “Weirdo Rapper”, is a hard man to decipher. His off-kilter and nebulous lyrics preceded the likes of MF Doom and Canibus. However, Keith is perhaps most known for his Dr. Octagon persona: a character so hilariously sinister in his lack of conscience, his erratic raps about murder and sex became a cult phenomenon.

As the sun rotates and his game grows bigger, it’s now become easy to forget just how Snoop Dogg became a pop culture legend. It was Doggystyle, his Death Row debut, that catapulted him to the forefront of mid-’90s hip hop. In celebration of a quarter-century of G Funk, we’re breaking down all the samples […]
