TYLER, THE CREATOR. IGOR LP


Reviewed by : Christina Rateau (@blue_spiritu)

If you’ve been following Tyler, the Creator’s journey, you know there’s been tremendous change in his craft. From Goblin to Flower Boy, it’s been a steady transition from ‘hard as fuck’ to ‘chill and in touch with my emotions’. It is no surprise that Tyler’s 6th album: Igor, would generate so much excitement among his fanbase. I personally was eager to see how much his craft has changed from the previous album.

In Igor, Tyler explores his emotions unapologetically as he talks about love, being in love and breaking up. He also seems to be defining his sexuality as he talks about being in love with a man. Igor features Tyler singing a lot more than in his previous work; along with features from Kanye West, CeeLo Green and Playboy Carti. Let’s not forget about the absolutely amazing production also done by Tyler himself. To put it simply: it’s nostalgic, upbeat, a lot of harmonization and kinda makes me feel like I’m in a musical [???] LOL.

One last thing I absolutely have to shoutout is Tyler’s blond wig in the visuals for EARFQUAKE. Totally digging his style in all the visuals for this album.

十件不是人穿的COUTURE . HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE COUTURE PIECES. THE BEST OF COUTURE FW19

Written by : Monique Ying @monying_my

2019 couture 的伸展台是一埸狂歡盛宴。經過一系列的研究,我發現了一個很有趣的現象 – 現時很多設計師(e.g. Elie Saab) 開始探索世界各文族的文化,有中國的、日本的、非洲文族的,還有摩洛哥的。 設計師們對這些文化的了解愈來愈成熟,亦為我們正名。 Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino等大牌子以它們的超凡作品證明了創意與靈感永遠也不會消逝,同時亦表現了它們將永遠推翻時裝定義的精神。

排除高級定製時裝週的精彩細節,以下是我於2019秋季couture中十件最喜歡的作品。

2019 couture runway truly is a blast. After some decent research, I found that it is interesting a lot of designers such as Elie Saap are trying to explore on ethnics, in Chinese, Japanese, African and Moroccan cultures. Their perceptions on these cultures are getting more mature and somehow, giving us justice. Big Brands such as Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino also proves us that creativity and inspiration never dies by their extravagance designs, questioning the definition of fashion at all times.

Despite all the thrills from all details, here are ten of my favourite couture pieces from the 2019 couture runway.

KASH DOLL. HERE I GO.

Reviewed by Christina Rateau (@blue_spiritu)

If you’re nostalgic about hip hop from the 90s / 2000’s (and already heard them all), check out, “Here I Go” by Kash Doll. This song reminds me of the music that my uncles would be listening to when I went over to my Grandma’s house when I was a kid. After catching the old school vibe, I dug a little deeper and I discovered that Kash Doll actually sampled ‘Here I go’ by Mystikal. I also caught a hint of E-40 in her flow and on the beat! Check out ‘Here I go’ by Kash Doll in the link below!

108. Juga-Naut x Giallo Point – The Passion

要數英國嘅“大粒嘢”,一定要數Juga-Naut 同 Giallo!”The Passion”正正係講緊佢地對音樂致敬嘅態度同對專業嘅擔當。Juga-Naut 同 Giallo 靠佢地嘅合作專輯 “Back To The Grill Again” 入面一首中毒性極強嘅旋律,成功成為今次榜單嘅第一位,亦係最適合狂loop嘅一首!

107. Flee Lord x 38 Spesh f/ Termanology – Not For Fashion

邪惡嘅創作- “Not For Fashion”係3個MC 聯手,製作出黎最原始同粗糙嘅版本!令我驚喜嘅仲有呢段副歌,絕對係對手嘅一大威脅!

A nasty nasty cut. “Not For Fashion” sees the 3 Mc’s link up to give you that street shxt raw and uncut! Love me the flavor of this hook too. This is one mean menace!

106. Jaykin f/ Jay Worthy – Monte Carlo (prod. by U-Tern)

溫哥華MC, Jaykin同Jay Worthy拍檔,將paper chase變成史記,呢個最強合體將one-two verse玩到出神入化,根本無得輸!

Vancouver MC, Jaykin links with Jay Worthy to add to the chronicles of the paper chase. This fly ass joint got the collabo rippin’ a fly one-two verse combo for the win!

Benny The Butcher一直都係我地榜上的常客。知唔知道佢啱啱簽咗Roc Nation?Gat Damn. 佢EP”The Plugs I Met”入面feature India嘅作品-“The Plugs I Met”,係一段令你聽完絕對會上腦嘅逼真旁白!呢首由Alchemist製作嘅催眠曲,慢慢燃燒起各位Bentley riders嘅熱誠!
