The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.
it's going to be very exciting when I die. I had sex three times this morning with an invisible man

I believe I got good skills
We been making music since we were kids
That's all I wanna do for life
Keepin it real until the day I die
Obstacles get in my way
Continue to mash and don't forget to pray
I keep my hand on my steel
Because I love my life and I always will
@godslave I know this style might not be your cup of tea, but how do you feel about the lyrics and overall vibe in this one? We spoke about this the other day — I've just realized I pay more attention to lyrics in genres like hip hop and r&b...

I can appreciate some of hip hop and r&b style of music. I'm not a fan of violent and/or vulgare Rap (both visually and in terms of lyrics), in fact I'm allergic to it even if my musical style tolerance is pretty high. When I'm listening to cool r&b, it's probably because I've been hooked by its musical content, and then I'm all ears for the lyrics. I am generally more interested in what musicians have to say musically, however we are all used to have a good idea of what is expected from almost any style of "song format" based pieces of music. When I'm listening to a country song for the first time, I know that the rhetorical content will be very different than that of an Urban Rap "song" or symphonic metal song.

The lyrics of "This days" from Nat Dogg (I didn't know him because I have a very limited hip hop culture) are cool and maybe people can relate to the song or even maybe give them the motivation to never give up on their skills and gifts. I like songwriters who use music and lyrics in an harmonious way like when there is a clear connection and interaction between the lyrics and the music in service of the storytelling the song is about instead of just using the musical "style" as a typical uniformed support. Styles and forms especially when indistualized can sometimes limit the musical freedom and expression imho.

Cute song for the whole family.

Ckay looks serene and perky for the most part. Not victimy or seductive or intense in spite of his banger. Maybe it is the philharmonic effect

I'm listening to this documentary my boyfriend has put on called Oasis Supersonic but I really hate how British they are and the way they keep saying fucking this and that so fast. So I don't get why he likes this music and them so much.

There's more to the lyrics than that, but I guess you need to be familiar with american slang and ghetto culture to make sense of it. Anyway, I relate to most of your other points. I always pay close attention to the (non-lyrical) musical content, and with hip-hop and r&b I also pay attention to the music production (sequencing, mixing, masterting), as that's a big part of it.
My appreciation for rap and hip-hop is mostly limited to the west coast G-Funk style, heavily influenced by funk, jazz, soul, r&b, and gospel. Sometimes samples from existing songs are used, other times new music is performed and recorded, many times it's a mix of these things and other techniques.
