Comment: BVBEL comes out of Belgium, the artist who has issued 20 albums in a span of 4 years (2015-2019). VNTIHERO TAPE is in principle – just artificially delineate it – a hip-hop album with inseparable hints at witch house, vaporwave, and VHS fetishism (it probably due to The Ring, a supernatural movie). Thanks to the latter ones the artist is able to sweep away sugary, simplistic vulgarity of machinery and other superficial ingredients of contemporary autotune-induced hip-hop soup. Instead of it one can hear funereal im(mortality), hints at our move towards death and decomposition. On the other side, there is no need to think of it, though, no one cannot blot it out endlessly, especially at the epicentre of the Coronavirus it would be unfit. Girlfriend in a corona, it`s serious, it`s really serious (an episode from contemporary danse macabre, isn`t?). In a word, get real, exploit your time reasonably to create something (the act of creation), take care of yourself and other creatures and Nature as an immanent appearance of the Lord. In fact, there is no need to get involved in such a (nominal) hogwash as the discussion about Jordan Peterson of being a philosopher or not. What`s the point? There is also no reason and no seat of mind to descend into Cioran-alike indifference. Great album by any means. There is the point.
