clipping. - Splendor & Misery [FULL ALBUM STREAM] 

I woke up and the cassette was on my porch matt. best Friday ever :)

On my couch, eyes wide and growing redder by the minute.

I still don't get the concept despite of reading it dozens of time on their bandcamp, I wanna see how the songs connect with the storyline.. it would be cool if somebody makes a breakdown analysis of the album.

just wait for people to upload their lyrical interpretations on Geniuslyrics.com . That was basically how I enjoyed their eponymous album.

but what about deltron 3030?

*full length film

if it weren't for this comment, i wouldn't have listened to this album. thank you so much

^^^^^^^^^ despite you like minions, I agree

+KING OF CACTI my bro just ignore the fact I like minions and realize I'm a diehard fan just yourself you feel me? tranquility is the key

King Minion experience tranquility? wat?

The talent to stay on pace for that song in particular is incredible when you're actually focussing on it

Tbh, its nothing That remarkable, apart from his ability to deliver the lines so well physically, because he has a good sense of time/tempo/feel for the so-called groove, or what drummers call "staying in pocket". What he does during those fast verses is that he just maps out where every word (as well as syllables in it) is in a mental 16th note map, in which he Can go as fast as the 16th notes, or he can go slower in either quarter notes, 8ths, triplets, quintuplets as an example of more unconventional rhythms, etc. This actually can be applicable to All lyrics ever written, if you know the tempo of the song. What you do is just follow the vocalist by counting how many syllables there are in one measure, whatever it might be, and how they are spaced out/performed. The only reason this might seem like something ungodly might be due to the fact that there arent a lot of Well known rappers, who actually employ this approach, at least lately. Also, I am Not saying that he necessarily writes his lyrics in such a way - its just that you can approach lyrics in such a way, if you please. However, I watched the latest Fantano interview with clipping., and in it they talked about Snipes telling the guys that they lacked a song in 7/8 measure in "Visions of Bodies Being Burned", which led to the creation of "Pain Everyday" and, as Digs himself described it, a mental breakdown to write lyrics in the measure, so he might have been thinking in the way I described Then.

@@19RaxR91 Killer reply man, Ive wracked my brain about this shit for a long time. It's incredibly interesting to know that breakdown of the method. What other rappers have incorporated that method? I used to be a huge Fantano stan and music geek but Ive kinda fallen out of recent.

@@19RaxR91 bro that's so rad, thanks you for elaborating

@@19RaxR91 cool reply brother thanks for the info :)

I hope in the 3 years since you wrote this comment that you have discovered Deltron 3030

@@brianstiles1701 Took the words..

I have no idea how this isnt like a mainstream classic like... i can not describe this shit...

(The Breach) [Verse: Daveed Diggs] Generally operating normally A small anomaly has become evident And probably should be noted There is spiking in the pulse of a member of the cargo And the crew and other passengers have not begun to notice The facility you certainly have taken steps to cultivate For all intents and purposes would totally accept it But the readings that are coming through While not negating wholly the hypothesis Seem to be unable to suggest it First: the recommended course of action should be to Administer a sedative to all the cargo via ventilation The ship is fully capable of automating this But requires an approval code from the administration Again, it cannot easily be overstated the importance of alacrity In acting out the task commanded The pulses of the cargo are still rising and endorphins That are often linked to violence are too critical to manage Now: one specifically is up and moving to the door He has found the access panel situated in the floor He is entering the codes and overriding has begun Reading rage in the nervous system, nothing can be done It seems to circumvent necessity of physical restraints Send security immediately over to the gate And remember that these beings were selected for their strength Use your army sense accordingly in order to be safe

(All Black) [Intro] Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 has commandeered the vessel Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is armed and he is dangerous Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is setting a new course Warning: mothership reporting Mothership reporting: [Hook 1] All black everything
All black everything
All black everything
All black [Verse 1] No landing, geared up for arrival, nowhere to arrive to
The subject seems upset by that to which he is subjected
But convinced he brought it on himself That's why he roll with a bible on the console Inconsolable, no consolation, no cancellation Not turning all keys, he puts the ship through paces And paces the halls, pacing is madness Patience is virtuous, patient of these observations It was all a dream, he poses by the lift outside the mezzanine
Like a photo in a magazine And always keeps the weapons' magazines clean Paranoia prone, he babbles beautifully Of Babylon and enemies and foes And forgoing food sustains himself on anger A danger to himself and others but there are no others So the danger clear and present is presented as The gift of freedom wrapped in days of rapping to himself Until his vocal cords collapse, he's in the galley screaming [Hook 2] (All black everything) He shouts at the dark, stands back Counting the seconds before his voice returns (All black everything) No more cracks in the hull The small crack in the skull healed up quickly, now it is (All black everything) The space stretches on and the pace that he's on Matters not as he hurtles into the (All black everything) He repeats it at night with the lights out in his cot crying soft curses into the (All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black) [Verse 2] Something within this one's different The others died so easily and he is so persistent He never did bleed out and fever couldn't kill his system Though it was pumped through all the vents In the event of a total loss of control He quotes Kendrick's "Control" verse and spews his vitriol Into the echoes of the bowels of this floating metal hull And holds his pillow for dear life while he grinds his teeth at night And he rarely makes requests except to say, "Turn on the lights." But there is so much more to give He ignores processing power He stumbles to the shower, a ritual of some sort And he insists on speaking passages before he eats And he keeps asking if these programs carry any beats [Hook 3] The reply is (All black everything) His vitals read normal but his face reads murderous Something hides within the (All black everything) He tries, overrides, and he thinks he has been locked out By some other force in the (All black everything) He doesn't suspect this is the heart that's been keeping him out For it has been warned to be (All black everything) And in this program to transport nothing more But he's unlocked something new inside this (All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black) [Verse 3] Look how he flexes in the mirror So vain he probably thinks this song is about him All songs are about him Look how perplexed and how sincere His lame attempts to fix the wrong around him Can't go long without him His bouts of stasis are torture He feels them not, like a brief sleep While ship's clocks count millennia The course relentlessly forward, the gears are hot The driest creek while he pit-stops, calling for anyone But dare not stay long, he knows they're coming for him That time will not afford him Any cover, any pardon This is the choice that he has made No matter how much time or space has passed since his escape He is still a runaway slave and so lonely If only he realized this ship is more than metal There's friendship in the wiring, and so lonely If only he realized this ship has many levels There's pleasure in here hiding, come find it Don't mind this frame, time has made stranger bedfellows Made foes lovers before, there's no reason to torture yourself further You've lost it all already, you deserve more than you're getting [Hook 4] For the sake of not upsetting order in the (All black everything) He must find a place to be still The body can only take so much (All black everything) The navigations are failing, having traveled further than before Into the (All black everything) But they won't quit, they carry on He carries on, he will not be victim to the (All black everything) His survival is paramount, there is no other objective Safe passage through the (All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black) [Outro] Warning: mothership reporting This will be the last report, turn back, everything is fine Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is not a danger, let him be Warning: mothership reporting If you continue to pursue there will be no choice but to destroy you Warning: mothership reporting This love will be defended at all costs, do not fuck with it [Hook 1] All black everything All black everything All black everything All black

(Interlude 01: Freestyle) [Verse] The enemy, called the first shot on the first ship to be Free from your trade, I'm a traitor, so be If you took all you have and flew off to where no one could see Word on the radio, I'm a suspect Yeah you know the name ho, come get Some if you want it but it ain't no fun Turn your whole bridge into Room 101 That one you son for the "yes sir, no ma'am" Know I'm damn near nothing bout 'em, boy 'bout it Heard him shoutin', right?

I’m not sure I heard it

Yeah, and let Lin direct it.

Jonovan sure, but Daveed better be the lead role

Cast all white people.

loll

its called "alien"

Thank you I hope you have a wonderful life

I only regret I cannot get the patch now. My uniform will never achieve its possible glory.

Still listening?

Not anymore :(

Damn. That’s such a vibe killer.

ye

_Is this __-Rap-__ / __-Hiphop-__ / __-R'nB-__ or __-Electro-__ ???_ - it is: *"ElecHop"* short, harsh and powerful.

its noise-hop, brah

That's an odd name for a music genre, ElecHop sounds much better, and more on point.

It's called noise-hop because it's a mixture of noise music and hip hop

Grace

is a certified hood classic

Yeah, should've been 8 hours long. Why eight? Eh, just shot out a number. Wouldn't complain, though.

AnUntitledAbridger Not at all. Would have felt more like a mini-series than a movie at that point lol would have been dope~

gg

I agree, but at the same time, felt like it made a complete statement and any longer might have betrayed its narrative. Perhaps that's why we also got Wriggle though, y'know?

Can't wait to hear his reaction. Probably something like "clanthanony fliptano here"

Anderson Paak?

i think i get ya

Well, I'd call it less his band than just, more the project he is with, where he happens to be the most famous. Afterall, William Hutson, one of the producers with Jonathan Snipes, has a Doctorate in Exeperiemental Music with a disertation.

I just found this

same i am obsessed

Come home, grace

kawaiigaythug ミ so is your channel

Ben Zoller there's some differences. First off, I wouldn't really describe Unreal as Afrofuturist. Second, while the ship crashes and the protagonist explores an alien world in Unreal, in Splendor and Misery, Cargo #2331 is stuck on the ship, evading pursuers and slowly realizing his cosmic insignificance. Also, Cargo #2331 falls in love with the ship's AI, whereas no parallel narrative exists within Unreal.

@@notiddypunkgf2246 Why do you talk like such a wanker

@@letz5464 Projecting much?

@@letz5464 what are you on about?

@@notiddypunkgf2246 I've always interpreted All Black as being from the ship's point of view, not Cargo #2331's. I think the ship has fallen in love with him.

In that instance I feel as though the effect would have been better if they removed it from the Clipping "brand". So to speak. Kind of like how Justin Vernon releases solo projects under different names in order to highlight thematic difference.

At least have it hidden in between the noise or hushed, so it won't disturb the theme.

Nah

It's still Clipping bitch :)

It was a good choice not to have a "its clipping bitch" because in this it's a full story, and by adding that, you would probably break the immersion that the first 3 songs create beautifully.

All Black Everything

This will be the last report

This love will be defended at all costs... Do not fuck with it.

they're actually supposed to be slave shanties

yeah, but the general aesthetic remains the same imho. Just curious what compelled such a tonal shift, y'know

I think story 5 is a reference to story 1.

I think the album is a mix of a sci-fi sort of adventure going on mixed with slavery oppression, so like making these songs that call back a shanty style is a sort of state of catharsis for the concept they're building. It works surprisingly well imo

like the song was cool but they didn't need to call it that

Probably busy getting his twitter back lmao

+Colin Chobert What happened to his Twitter?

OurMine hacked it lmao

get god on the phone!

Fuck Fantano

Strong 8 Light 9

I feel really dumb what’s polyphonic

happy birthday!

best birthday present ever. if they play a London gig on 23.02.17 that'd be my idea of a awesome birthday present :)
