In Story 2, the beat begins in a 3/4 time signature. Every 8 bars, a beat is added to the bar, making the next 8 bars 4/4, then 5/4, 6/4 etc, all the way up to 12/4
The rapper is Daveed Diggs, he starred in Hamilton, and he played the character you mentioned in Black-ish so you were on point there. Also, not sure if you notice but Daveed never uses the first person in clipping.'s lyrics (hence why the album title is CLPPNG, because they took out the "i"s) and they also never use drums. Any drums you think you hear are either synthesisers or samples. All the weird sounds are field samples they recorded themselves too, so they would have recorded all the alarm clock sounds manually instead of just finding royalty free alarm clock sounds, they do everything manually. They're one of my top experimental Hip Hop groups because they're so fucking inventive
Also, ‘Williams Mix’ is a tribute to John Cage’s William’s Mix from the 1950’s, in which Cage pioneered the technique of tape splicing to create a mix of jumbled sounds. He even created a score heavily detailing how to precisely cut each tape to perform Williams Mix. Although it may sound dated now, Cage was one of the earliest pioneers of electronic music, and has directly influence clipping.
The story of story 2, is about a bar tender who is walking home thinking about his past. his past as a serial arsonist. The character also explains that he hasn't told anyone he has done any of these fucked up things, except for Ronald (friend/lover, I'm not really sure) who he thinks wont tell anyone or do anything. While walking home he sees a car that drives past him, He thinks he recognizes it , but he isn't sure. Then he looks up and sees that there is ash falling from the sky and he starts sprinting home. He tries to call his baby sitter that is watching his kids, but no one picks up. He keeps sprinting home, as he is starting to realize that the past is catching up with him, and now someone has set his house ablaze like he did to so many other families. He reaches his house, and it's what he thinks, his house was burned down with his kids inside. I assume that Ronald either told someone, and they did it. Or he burned mikes house. The song is essentially about karma.
Daveed Diggs is the guy rapping. He has been a part of clipping for awhile but blew up after he was featured in the massively popular "Hamilton, The musical" on-Broadway. I myself am a huge fan of daveed.
If you're curious Shawn, my interpretation of Story 2 is that the protagonist, Mike Winfield, is a reformed arsonist (hence him visiting Doc Clark, and the charred skeletons in his closet and the matchbook in his sock), who breaks up/rejects a man named Ronald. My theory is that the person who burns down the protagonist's home at the end of the song is Ronald. He recognizes a blue Acura ("where had he seen that car before"), possibly from the dates/interactions he had with Ronald. Mike possibly told Ronald of his arsonist past, and then Ronald, hurt by Mike's rejection of him, decided to inflict upon Mike what he had inflicted upon others so much in the past. I don't know if I explained it all that well, but hopefully my point got across. Glad you like the album m8
Story 2 seems like a guy, who used to be a pyromaniac, who went through therapy, possibly bi, or gay, talking to that other guy and then in the end has his house burnt down as a revenge thing
I think he's an ex-hitman. They have stated all the Story tracks are related, and there are little clues about multiple hits being performed in 1,2, and 5, specifically. The deaths in 1 and 5 happen at the same time.
Dunno if Shawn looked into it further or looked up the lyrics, but Story 2 is about a serial arsonist that has destroyed many homes and lives with his pyromania, only to walk home from his shitty bar job and find that one of his past victims (familiar car?) has taken revenge and burnt down his house with his family inside. The song is dense as hell and they fit a ton into 2 minutes as well as having crazy good flow and instrumental.
One of my personal favorites. I get what you're saying about the lyrical themes. Although they've said in interviews that they're not trying to criticize or "deconstruct" the violent, drug-dealing, gangster thing, I do feel like they're deflating it. That's what I personally get from songs like 'Work Work'. It isn't that people in general don't matter, but that individuals such as the ones described in the song mostly wind up as nameless statistics. For all of their romantic, gangsta trope-laden badassery: "No obituaries for the most part/Nobody cares you are not even a co-star/Just an extra/They read about it as a number/Names got money in their wallet". Some people matter, have names, get noticed when they die. The people in 'Work Work' don't. 'Get Up' and 'Ends' have some similar ideas going on. I recommend watching some of their videos as well. They're really well made.
Yo this was a great reaction man. This legit one of my favorite albums of all time. I can go back to this and analyze the lyrics and be blown away every time. Glad you loved it. You're analyses were mad insightful too. Big up!
I'm not usually one to watch reaction-style content, but your off-the-cuff analysis makes it worthwhile. I'm super excited to hear your thoughts on Splendor and Misery, since you clearly have the analytical chops to deal with a concept album.
been subscribed since before 10k. Your reaction to high for hours - jcole was what hooked me. Lol i was trying to listen to it on CZcams for free cuz im too cheap to pay for it... and your video came up... but anyway keep it up bro cuz u gonna make it to the top.
Hey Shawn loving this video man this is such a dope album! But to explain the beat/tempo changing on Story 2 it's actually pretty simple. All that's happening is the time signature starts from 3/4 (3 quarter notes per measure) and then goes to 4/4, then 5/4 and so on and so forth throughout the song. Hopefully this helps :)
Shawn Cee Okay so count out 1 2 3 4 in a pretty straightforward rythym repeating it right? That's 4/4, if you count 3 times in the same period it's 3/4, 5 times it's 5/4, etc. Someone correct me if my super simplistic explanation is way wrong. Oh and story 2 I think is about an arsonist who gets his house burned down.
Prolly not gonna read this, but there is a percussive "psshh" noise every time the time signature changes. It starts out with 3 beats per measure (proabably most easily notated as 3/8), and every start of a measure there's also a distinctive beep. When the song starts, you can probably easily count "1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3" and then he starts rapping. It loops through 8 of these groups of 3 after he starts rapping, then you hear the percussive "psssh" sound, signaling a time signature change. Every time you hear that noise, each measure (or "bar") gets another beat. So at around 9 seconds into the song, you can hear the beat go from "1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3; 1,2,3" to "1,2,3,4; 1,2,3,4; 1,2,3,4..." then after 8 measures of the 4 beats per measure, it goes to 5 beats per measure, then 6, 7, and 8, ending in the 8/8 time signature, or 4/4. That happens about halfway through the song, and it does a very similar thing in the second half after a little transition period that I can explain if someone would like. But anyway, it is a very interesting composition rhythmically ESPECIALLY for a hip-hop track, and somehow it doesn't sound gimmicky.
this was one of my favorite albums of the past few years so i'm happy you reacted to it seeing someone react in real time to Daveed's insane word play and the insane beats is truly truly a pleasure
The frontman is called Daveed Diggs, he's not really that big pre-clippng, but you're probably just recognising the Andre 3k influence in his delivery. I thought 3k's verse on Blonde was actually super influenced by Daveed. (Btw mad props for the thumbnail)
Love that you listened to this album - one of my favourites. As you loved Story 2 but lost the plot of it slightly (understandable given how full on it is): I think Story 2 is about a character called Mike Winfield who is a reformed arsonist/pyromaniac, someone who is struggling to keep his destructive relationship with fire in check. Having now become a father, he's been going to therapy to deal with his issues, but there's something intoxicating about the danger in his past that still occupies his thoughts. On his way back from a particularly rough night at work, Mike is reminiscing...he was romantically involved with a character called Ronald, who was the only person he told about his past since reforming, but it didn't end up going anywhere and Mike finds his thoughts bouncing between Ronald and the grisly details of his crimes. He also mulls over the deeper layer of issues he had that drove him to become obsessed with fire, mentioning that "water had never been a friend" to him. He is jolted out of his daydreaming by a car that seems familiar to him, which could be Ronald's or perhaps a car belonging to a family member of a previous victim(s) of his. This is followed by the warning signs of a fire in his street: he runs back at speed to his house, with a sudden fear and empathy for the people he wronged in the past. When he arrives, he sees his house on fire and cannot locate his family, so assumes the worst. In his desperation and loss of desire to live (if his family isn't there to share his life with him), he runs into the building in a last-ditch attempt to save his family - or to possibly sacrifice himself to atone himself for his past. Before he can do this he is wrestled to the ground by a bystander or, more probably Ronald or the car driver and forced to survive while he loses everything meaningful to him (which could be considered a punishment worse than death, and especially ironic given the kind of guy Mike is). Keep up the great work man, and I second the dude that recommended Milo for a future vid. Or Open Mike Eagle. Or both?
What I also love about Story 2 is that he gets calmer and calmer over time, like as the beat gets a beat added to it every time, going from a 3/4 to a 8/4, he's comfortable in his ignoring of problems, and with the lyrics he starts noticing something wrong, and that's when the adrenaline hits in and the beat changes completely when he's running, until the end where he basically becomes suicidal.
Before I watch the video I just gotta say I fucking love this album. I fucking love clipping. Me & Daveed are tight (for real). And Shawn, ...That is one FIRE thumbnail. Thumbnail game so on point. Fucking exquisite shit.
Judah Del Rio Some people think that when he recognizes a sample in a song, he either looked it up or he has heard the song before. Those people are dumb.
Story 2 is about a recovering arsonist who gets his own house burned down presumably by somebody he had wronged in the life that he was trying to put behind him. Also the Daveed Diggs, the guy rapping, was in Hamilton. You may haveheard him there
Every October around my b day/Halloween I go listen to those last two records, then fall down the rabbit hole and dig into their discography and feel like I become a fan all over again. They got top tier art out the ass from every direction
I love how innocent this is. Specifically, when in "Taking Off", in reference to living in the ghetto, the song goes "There they cry for more of that good poison That hood oil That cash cow need cash now Just add water and back off of what momma taught ya" And he thinks it is in reference to thinning out FOOD products to stretch it out. Like, yea that's a thing, but do you really think that's what he was talking about? You need to forget the way you were raised to do this? It leads into the next line, which is about how there is no Jesus in these areas despite the symbolism people may display. Making food cheaper...Alright kid, you stay innocent. Don't let them break you.
Im happy you got around to listening to this album. it's pretty great. One of the things that the rapper has imposed on himself is that whenever he makes clipping songs he never raps in first person. He never says I. it's crazy right?
Definitely listen to Splendor and Misery, that was one of my favourite albums of last year and it's one of the most cohesive and cinematic albums I've ever heard. Also check out Ski Mask's new mixtape
Yo shawn you think you could officially start a series where you react to older albums ik you've done so in the past and rn but make it official I think it would be dope, I know you got a lot on your plate its just a suggestion, lots of soon to be classics id love for you to react to
Shawn you should react to Jarren Benton - The Mink Coat Killa LP the album is so underrated as of now and it's sad because Jarren is a great artist and should def get more recognition
1. How the hell did I listen to "Inside Out", and not notice his mention of "What's Happening reruns" in itself is a pun? Damn! 2. Notice that when you listen to the album, Daveed Diggs (his name) NEVER used the words "nigga" or "I". No I references.
In Story 2, the beat begins in a 3/4 time signature. Every 8 bars, a beat is added to the bar, making the next 8 bars 4/4, then 5/4, 6/4 etc, all the way up to 12/4
ShurkOfficial basically, it’s actually 3/4 4/4 5/4 6/4 7/4 8/4 and then 3/8 4/8 5/8 6/8 7/8 8/8. unreal
It represents the heartbeat of the guy in the story.
Yeah, Story 2 is a fucking masterpiece of a song

Almost every song is stellar, but standouts are Get Up and Story 2. Jesus, those two tracks are gonna be underground classics.
I had full body chills the first time I heard get up. Thai album is completely unreal.

I shit my pants when I saw you finally reacted to Clipping.
So this reaction got me into clipping. HARD so I wanna see you review another album. Honestly it's my favorite videos you have put out!!
Saw them live in Chicago! He goes just as hard live. Glad you enjoyed it!

Yo this is crazy. This is like one of the first times I've seen you like full on rave about an album. I def have to listen to this
His name Is Daveed Diggs, Broadway legend; with the fastest rap. Also an actor and a fantastic rapper!
That thumbnail broke my mind
Does he fucks with feefo or why does he want to BUMPITINDAWHIP
Im watching more DEHH vids and that's always what they make fun of him for haha
Finally! I really hope you react to Midcity and Wriggle EP. Those two are my favorites of Clipping.
Looks like Shawn digs that metric modulation 🤙
I'm not gonna say this again (I probably am though)
React to Honor Killed the Samurai - Ka
Every October around my b day/Halloween I go listen to those last two records, then fall down the rabbit hole and dig into their discography and feel like I become a fan all over again. They got top tier art out the ass from every direction
Notification Ganggggggggggg🔥🔥🔥
Bruh, you gotta do Black Up by Shabazz Palaces. Amazing album
review nyck@knight by nyck cation and Kirk knight
i think he already listened to it off camera
Yeah he did
damn
I love how innocent this is. Specifically, when in "Taking Off", in reference to living in the ghetto, the song goes
"There they cry for more of that good poison
That hood oil
That cash cow need cash now
Just add water and back off of what momma taught ya"
And he thinks it is in reference to thinning out FOOD products to stretch it out. Like, yea that's a thing, but do you really think that's what he was talking about? You need to forget the way you were raised to do this? It leads into the next line, which is about how there is no Jesus in these areas despite the symbolism people may display.
Making food cheaper...Alright kid, you stay innocent. Don't let them break you.
this guy pulled out a freaking glock in his blinding lights reaction i don’t think he’s innocent.
17:49 when u get up to get a midnight snack and you stub your toe on a wooden chair.
Yoooo def check out clippings new album when it comes out this October
Im happy you got around to listening to this album. it's pretty great. One of the things that the rapper has imposed on himself is that whenever he makes clipping songs he never raps in first person. He never says I. it's crazy right?
Holy shit. Never heard of them but I'm about to hear all their shit. Thank yiu
Everything that you love from this album it's ten times better in Splendor and Misery. Please react to it.
Definitely listen to Splendor and Misery, that was one of my favourite albums of last year and it's one of the most cohesive and cinematic albums I've ever heard. Also check out Ski Mask's new mixtape
blu & exile - below the heavens.
Story 2 gives me chills
His reaction to Story 2 was me the first time. What. A. Track.
Check out Phora. You'll love him since you love lyricism. He's very much a story teller.
Nice review, next consider death grips no love deep web
Glad to see someone else loves Ends too
Yo shawn you think you could officially start a series where you react to older albums ik you've done so in the past and rn but make it official I think it would be dope, I know you got a lot on your plate its just a suggestion, lots of soon to be classics id love for you to react to
IVE WAITED FOR THSIS
discovered this album just last week! can't wait to watch this
Splendor & Misery
Yo check out Ratking So It Goes and btw the rapper in clipping. is Daveed Diggs who was in Blackish.
Shawn you should react to Jarren Benton - The Mink Coat Killa LP the album is so underrated as of now and it's sad because Jarren is a great artist and should def get more recognition
1. How the hell did I listen to "Inside Out", and not notice his mention of "What's Happening reruns" in itself is a pun? Damn!
2. Notice that when you listen to the album, Daveed Diggs (his name) NEVER used the words "nigga" or "I". No I references.
do overcast by atmosphere
novelfroge 80 or God Loves Ugly
novelfroge 80 or When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint That Shit Gold
