Kill Bill The Rapper - Blog Posts
Followed through with my plans and I gave Resin another shot and I think I find it almost on par with Ramona. I remember talking with a mutual in the past about it and I remember describing its vibes on par with an infomercial VHS which I believe is somewhat accurate but with this relisten, I felt like I managed to piece together a bit of a story with it. I feel as though it’s a story of Bill after his success with his album Ramona and trying to make it more out there, hence the intro of the album with the character DJ Hentai Daddy who makes fun of him and his music and tells him how these people want something fire. This leads to Bill incorporating and emulating some rap that you’d probably hear coming from the south or directly mentioning other artists like Big Boi of Outkast or DJ Screw but also hiding away his true music or perhaps his real self on the other half of tracks. Near the end he begins to realize just how lonely and draining it is to try and ride this wave of success yet there’s no conclusion, as if the story is still going or Bill is trying to still find an answer to his problem. Even if I’m overthinking this or I’m just sounding like I’m spewing bullshit, this album had struck a chord with me that I’d never knew it could hit. I might not relate to the fame of it or the success but just the vulnerability he talks about in some of the lyric just hit different and had me see it in a new light.
I’m sorry if the last sentence sounded depressing. I also managed to get two pics that I’d like to share of an abandoned building I’ve posted about before. Think of it like an update.
The power to the building seems to have finally been shut off. I don’t know if the power was shut off manually by workers or was knocked out by the storms in the area but I can say one thing for sure, it’s probably never coming back on. The area around it was much darker in person than the way they appear now when I took the pictures.
New Kill Bill single! It’s sounds amazing and reminds me of his earlier stuff off Ramona and Resin even though Bill didn’t produce the track. I wonder if this means we’ll be getting a new album? Oh well. Will probably go for a walk in the rain about an hour after this post is made and give Resin another shot.
Preordered a shirt and a physical copy of RAMONA on CD since they were limited edition releases for the 10 year anniversary and it arrived early! I love the quote from kill bill on the inside of the case. It feels good to finally own these.
