hip hop
## thursday, 1 august 2024
played both the playlist and its derivative radio station
some immediate thoughts (unhappy with it)i don’t think the playlist would pass the bechdel test
a lot of explicit content that doesn’t add to the story
the derivative playlist reverts to old pop hitsnice to hear hyperlocal artists like lil mosey and diggy graves
asian american artists like boywithuke and west
black hip hop country singer shaboozey crafting unique, refreshing sound### feedback notes
- some playboi carti songs are boring and a bit embarrassing to be played aloud due to pointlessly explicit content amplified by simplistic structure
- west and boywithuke are interesting asian american artists, pinning
- avoid songs with negative portrayals of women
- i find many popular artists are overplayed/over-spun
- tommy richman and mhc cj are worth exploring more.. read full entry (hybrid auto-transcribed->summarized w gpt
