More Night Lovell

I think this is my favorite set of tracks by Night. He's so fucking versatile though so idk, if I'm in the mood for some simple music I'll listen to Contraband, otherwise I got all these other tracks to pick from. Here's a great mix between Shahmen (discovered them like a week ago) and Night that mixes more or less the best tracks of both artists. Two different styles that match up perfectly somehow. I think it's the bassline that claps hard as fuck but I'm not sure to be entirely honest.

Freddie Gibbs/Gangsta Gibbs

Now something entirely different. Gangsta Gibbs was probably my first experience with real gangsta hiphop that wasn't modern-day 'I'm a banger gratata bang bang 300' stuff. He's kinda like old school gangsta rap (and he's older so I guess that makes sense). He's a real one too. If you see someone smoking crack in his video? That's a guy they hired off the street to smoke real crack. No actor shit. He's real. He cooking crack? Real. He tasting it? Real.

The only criticism I could have is that he's one of those 'money hoes clothes, killing opps and dealing drugs' type rappers but I honestly just really enjoy that. Mostly cause he isn't fronting and he really is about that shit.

Joey Bada$$

I wouldn't really call him the flagshop of ProEra at this point but he kinda is. He's good af, lyrical, continuation of the old school rappers where others have split off. I can enjoy that but it's not for everyone.

The Underachievers

I mostly just enjoy their beats, samples and flows but they have some lyrical shit in there that I do enjoy a lot. But eh, idk, you kinda have to be in the mood for it? It's very uplifting music in a way because it's very spiritual and talks about peace and love and other shit like that.

Character Sheet Exhibition/Gallery Thread

My biggest issue with this site is the obsession with breaking down every incessant detail in a character sheet. I believe this detracts from the purpose that we apply in the first place: role-playing. In my opinion, I find a reference sheet or sample post more definitive of if someone can fit your collaboration than if they can write seven paragraphs about their backstory. I understand the utility of having a sheet to reference for notes and the tiny details, but it is so exhausting writing a lot of information for it not to be utilized or even relevant in the scheme of things.

@Inkarnate

It depends a lot for me. Certain RP's that have a lot of lore built up behind them, I find adding more info to the character sheet can be incredibly useful for the GM and other players to organize and think up future plots. Or even just for organization sake. But that would apply, like I said, to RP's with a lot of lore (which I enjoy more).

For an RP that isn't so deep, I agree that breaking everything down is counter effective to the point where I even object to writing a personality. I mean, we have a world that is barely as deep as a shallow pool but a GM expects me to write 3 paragraphs about a characters personality. IDK, it doesn't add up for me.

Sometimes I just like spending a lot of time making my CS's (in my eyes) organized and detailed. The added value is not necessarily something I'm after more so than just looking nice and pleasant.

@BrokenPromise I don't think your obsession with indent is so bad. Indent is probably my favorite tool in CS's because it adds a feeling of separation between the header and the information. The image above is a nice added effect and although I would've centered this respective image differently myself, I appreciate the work you put into it. Going the extra yard shows you care in this case, which is good to see even when I don't participate in the RP.

Non Non Biyori

A funny character spews funny catch phrases, with childish behavior while playing the recorder. Anything else that happens is just filler for more recorder-filled, nyanpasu-like fun.

Alternatively, you can just use this as a substitute for the entire plot and it'd still make sense:

Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

@QueenOfTheBee that's not much of an analysis.

@SleepingSilence $uicideboy$ is really experimental I guess mostly because they are doing what, afaik, nobody else is really doing. But it works for me and they've influenced a lot of people.

@Inkarnate I can definitely agree that Shakewell had the better verse. I mean that line, 'ey yo Pouya, I been praying a lot, but I don't know who's talking back, is it Satan or God?' is just the nail in the coffin at that point. I guess at that point no matter what Pouya did, he would've sounded off. But then look at these two:

Now contrast that to Billy Mays, which is probably my favorite track of his, or Suicidal Thoughts in the Back of the Cadillac.

Perhaps putting scrubs as his track to judge by was a bit unfair, given that it's one of his weaker tracks (but it's so good tho) but perhaps you can see a bit more of why I like him on these respectively.

I have Night Lovell's album and it's a mixed bag. I picked his best tracks on this one and while I definitely like listening to all his tracks, Contraband or Dark Light are definitely ''better''. I still suggest you give it a listen though.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@Mr Allen J@Aquanthe Another cool trick is just to make the first page an index for all the characters. Then make each character link to the corresponding post. Then you won't even have to remember which page a character sheet is on.

Sure, hiders are a good idea. But not everyone thinks of it.

@BrokenPromise

Now I know for a fact you have GM'ed RP's. I'm sure of it.

Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it can be if you're doing this for an RP that has a constant flow of new people coming in? I hated doing this.

Inkarnate's Music Discussion Thread

Maybe you guys can offer thoughts on these individual rappers.

Pouya

I wouldn't even say he's up and coming anymore, he's like a figurehead of the underground scene (can you call it grime/horrorcore? IDEK what to call it.) overshadowed by $uicideboy$ and maybe XXXtentacion (because X is a hypebeast). He's young too, there's some footage of him out there that's like, from him when he was 17. And it's actually really good. I just really like his flow, and his lyrical style.

Night Lovell

Good flow. Good rhymes, not too lyrical, but it gets the job done and is good music for when you just relaxing cause it doesn't require thought to process. He just rapping about some dumb shit and sometimes that is all I want.

KVKA

Personally one of my favorite tracks, KVKA always on spot with the flow, gotta say lyrically he's kinda repetitive at times but again, sometimes it is just this type of music that you're looking for. Same with how you listen to Chief Keef when you wanna ride, you listen to this when you trynna get pumped or wanna get in a savage mood or something.

I specifically like the line I got dreams like I'm Martin. Feels kinda clever, even though it's basic as fuck.

Also the bass just claps hard as fuck and I love that shit. Honestly.

$uicideboy$

Suicideboys are like at the fucking forefront of the underground grime-y scene of rap. They have dirty af beats, dirty af lyrics, and aren't afraid on stepping on toes when it comes to being straight up just dirty.
