if anyone lets me talk about clipping for too long i get so excited that i have to stop myself from tearing up...like not just from excitement but because so much of clipping's work is so dark and honestly horrifying but like my favourite horror it's so fascinating that I can't look away
like splendor and misery to me is not only an afrofuturist album but just as much of a horror album as there existed and addiction to blood and visions of bodies being burned . I was expecting horror from those two albums...but the existential dread of splendor and misery mixed with the darkness of allegory for the transatlantic slave trade hit me right in the gut.
I made the mistake of listening to that album for the first time at like 2 in the morning and I got into this weird panicked state that happens sometimes when I'm up really late and thinking about something upsetting where I feel completely and utterly isolated from the rest of humanity - like nothing else exists and I'm the only consciousness left - and considering that narrative of splendor and misery, that was bound to happen
don't even get me started on "true believer". something about that song freaks me out. it's a beautiful song but I can't handle it most of the time.
one a sidenote, Daveed Diggs was a great choice to play the protagonist of Snowpeircer because that show freaks me out the same way splendor and misery does - something about dystopian, futuristic narratives and complete isolation from the rest of humanity, which is either inaccessible or destroyed, etc etc
"the deep" affects me in much the same way. IMO that song did so much that Black Panther 2 hardly accomplished (although I noticed the similarities right away and I really wished that movie had played out differently).
and then there's the horror of the "story" tracks...all of these people trapped in ongoing narratives of tragedy, trauma, and violence, and THEY'RE ALL INTERCONNECTED. THEY ALL HAPPEN IN THE SAME UNIVERSE BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE TIMELINE TOGETHER. ITS SO GOOD.
man, I love clipping

okay but. he's missing something pretty. he's missing where the air tastes gritty. he's missing the splendor and misery of bodies, of cities, of being missed. ough

a better place really stands out at the end of splendor and misery because up until that point the album has been essentially a continuous listening experience and a better place just kinda Starts so it is not my favorite when i’m listening to the album but fuck if i am not floored the moment it comes on shuffle

could you imagine if jordan peele made a movie inspired by one of clipping's horror albums or "splendor and misery"? or if clipping made an entire album to be the soundtrack for a jordan peele movie?
I need it to happen
like you can't listen to "nothing is safe," "pain everyday," or "story 7" and tell me that's not a great idea

when there's a neat transition between songs on an album and Spotify puts an ad between them, I think I should be allowed to kill for that
