The /r/HHH plug.dj room is back for the summer! Hop in and play some songs/chat with other heads

If you're new, be sure to check the 'FAQ/Get Started' section below!

What is plug.dj?

plug.dj is a site where users take turns playing songs from youtube/soundcloud for each other and chat. Think crowdsourced radio, or a group passing the aux cord around one song at a time. The room can vote on how they like the song, chat about this or that and generally chill out and listen to tunes. It's a great way to find new music and share that song you've had on repeat. And you get to do it all with your fellow HHH fambruhs :)

General Guidelines

  1. Check the history before you play a song - The DJ history button is located here. It shows roughly the last 3 hours of songs that have been played in the room. If you play something that has been played recently enough to show up in the DJ history, you will be skipped by a staff member.

  2. No censored songs - Check the song you've picked before you play it. We don't want to hear a song where half of it is pauses. Explicit+video is awesome if you can get it, but we'd pick an explicit track without video over a censored video any day. If you play a censored track, you're getting skipped by a staff member.

  3. No pitch-shifted songs - Tagging on to the last rule. Just check the youtube vid you pick before you play it. We don't wanna hear the Alvin & the Chipmunks version of a song that some guy made to evade a copyright takedown, that'll be a skip.

  4. Play (mostly) hiphop - At the end of the day, this is the plug.dj room for hiphopheads. We do allow RnB to be played, as well as some EDM trap (or like remixes of rap songs), but for the most part otherwise, stick to playing hiphop. Memes are gonna get skipped by a staff member.

  5. Bitch don't kill my vibe - If everyone has been vibing out to some super chill songs, you should refrain from playing that Waka Flocka track. And if the last several people before you played some hype bangers, it's probably not the best time to play that instrumental Dilla track. Try to follow the flow.

  6. Don't instameh - Give a song a chance. No way you can judge a song within the first 5 seconds of it starting.

  7. Be active in chat - The staff does go through and kick afk people every once in a while. The way the afk timer works is based off of chat, so you need to say something in chat every once in a while to reset it. Besides, it's more fun when everyone is chatting! You'll get mentioned in chat if you've been afk for 45 minutes or so, if you don't respond you'll be kicked from the waitlist.

  8. No being a dick in chat - No spamming, no flaming other users, no racism. If you do, you will be kicked from the room by a staff member.

  9. Le rare gems - Try to not to play the most circlejerked songs from HHH. More fun if we get some stuff that isn't so overplayed.

FAQ/Get Started

How do I play songs?

You need to make a playlist (more instructions inside when you click that button) and then hit the join waitlist button.

How do I vote on songs?

Look at the bottom on the screen, on the right of the DJ booth. You can woot if you dig the song, meh if you want it to be skipped, and even grab it (save it to one of your playlists). If a song hits the required meh ratio, it will be skipped.

How do I check where I am in the waitlist?

Look at the top right of the screen. Shows your position, the total # of people in the waitlist, and the total # of people in the room.

How do I change my avatar/profile/settings?

Check the bottom right of the screen.

What's the deal with the people in chat with purple names and symbols?

Those people are room staff. There's levels to this shit, from resident DJ all the way to host. If you have been coming regularly for a long time, you might just get promoted too! How not to get promoted is to constantly beg for it though.

What if I really love/hate another user?

You can either friend them or ignore them by clicking on their avatar or name.

Anything I can do to enhance the plug experience?

Well...there is this extension called plug3 that can do some cool stuff. Check it out.

[FRESH] Ugly God - The Booty Tape

Posted: 03 Aug 2017 07:58 PM PDT

Why Shawn Cee is (probably) lying about Madvillainy.

Posted: 03 Aug 2017 03:11 PM PDT

A few months ago I saw YouTuber Shawn Cee's "first reaction" video to Madvillainy, and I immediately felt that his quick sample recognition of incredibly obscure music was super fishy and most likely fake. Then, today, he released a video addressing people's claims that his reaction video was fake, and he vehemently denies all the accusations. After going back to his video, I decided I wanted to make a look into how unlikely it is that his reaction video was completely a first listen and that he didn't at least have Genius or WhoSampled.com up to fake knowledge on the samples.

The first thing that's important to note is how obscure, in general, all of the samples are on Madvillainy. When making the album, Madlib went digging for samples in Brazil, and when he was asked to slightly modify some beats by his label, he wasn't able to find the samples again because of their obscurity. If Shawn recognized 6 of the samples on a record that's known for sample obscurity and for how long it took the internet to source some of the samples, he has an incredibly diverse and esoteric taste in music, unmatched by nearly anyone.

Secondly, at 2:07 in his latest video that disavows doubters, Shawn says that he "had no idea who Madlib was," which would be perfectly believable if he didn't say "oh, Madlib's producing this, that's why it sounds so good" at 4:45 in his initial reaction video.

Now, to address the sample recognitions:

Illest Villains: Shawn says that the tracks "reminds [him] of Hawaii Five-O." The song sampled is Beach Trip by Morton Stevens, which is a song from the 1960's version of Hawaii Five-O. This is an impressive recognition, seeing as the song sits at a little under 14,000 views on YouTube, most of which are from Madvillainy fans, and is a background track from an old TV show. If we suspend our disbelief, perhaps Shawn has watched the old version of Hawaii Five-O and got lucky, recognizing the sample.

Bistro: Shawn identifies the song Second to None by Atlantic Starr pretty quickly, which is a 1983 soul track. The song has 36,000 views on YouTube, most of which are probably from Madvillainy fans seeing as every comment pertains to Madvillain instead of Atlantic Starr. This is a pretty weird one to pick out, and it's strange that Shawn knows the title of the song instead of the artist.

America's Most Blunted: On this track, Shawn identifies as the sample as by Fever Tree. The song is Ninety-Nine and One Half by Fever Tree. This song was released in 1968 by Fever Tree, an obscure psych rock band. The song has 13,000 views on YouTube and nearly every comment is referring to Madvillainy. This is when it starts to get pretty hard to believe for me.

Rainbows: Shawn struggles to recognize the sample but says he thinks "its from an old movie or old TV show." He works his way to the sample name, identifying it as from the movie Finders Keepers, Lovers Weepers. This track, Kelly, is in fact from Finders Keepers, a 1968 sexploitation film from breast-loving director Russ Meyer. It's hard to believe that the 21-year-old YouTuber spends time watching obscure large-boob-centric movies from the 1960s, and it's even crazier that he could recognize one of many random instrumentals from the film. At this point in the video, it's wholly unrealistic that he has recognized these samples.

Do Not Fire: On this song, Shawn claims to recognize a sample from "an old movie," but he says he can't remember what it is. Remarkably, the sample is from an old movie, a 1976 Bollywood action flick called Maha Chor. I find it near impossible to believe that he recognizes a sample from a completely obscure Indian action movie. Through this recognition, the audience is led to believe that Shawn has deep knowledge in 60's American TV, soul music, obscure psych rock, sexploitation films, and Bollywood movies.

Strange Ways: Shawn recognizes Funny Ways by Gentle Giant as a sample, which is by far his least suspicious identification. Gentle Giant is a pretty famous prog rock band, so it wouldn't be hugely surprising for someone to identify this sample.

All Caps: This is probably the most phony one in the entire video. Shawn freaks out after hearing All Caps because he claims to have been searching for this song for almost a decade. Shawn says he heard it in the Boondocks when "Huey goes up against that dude with the afro." He's referring to the scene where Huey fights Bushido Brown, and All Caps is playing in the background. But, this begs the question, how could he not find it if he knew the exact scene it appears in? The YouTube comments for the scene are filled with references to MF DOOM and Madvillain. If one Googles "huey vs bushido brown song," the first non-video link is to the Wikipedia page for All Caps. The Boondocks wiki even has a page where every song used in the entire series is listed (from which I discovered Madvillain as a young lad). This leads to two conclusions: Shawn either already knew All Caps before the video and faked the reaction, or Shawn didn't really attempt to find the song.

BOTTOM LINE: This video is some bullshit. Shawn had to have WhoSampled or Genius open because no one could identify all of those samples. Period.

Kanye's Influence On Chance – Your Week's Rap Soundtrack

Posted: 03 Aug 2017 07:51 AM PDT

NEW: Kanye's Influence On Chance – Your Week's Rap Soundtrack

Hey guys! I'm Martin Connor, the…person…behind 2 Vox videos with over 5 million views total that you might've seen before, one on rap in general here and one on Kanye's use of the human voice here. Two weeks ago, I launched my own new channel that releases videos just like those Vox ones that focus exclusively on rap and Hip Hop. My first release was a video that deconstructs Kendrick Lamar's flows on "DAMN." at the link here, and the second was a video that deconstructed the purposeful incompleteness on Kanye's "Life of Pablo" album here.

This week's new video explores the influence of Kanye's "College Dropout" on Chance's "Coloring Book." It shows how both albums, in constantly covering topics that matter to pretty much everyone (like family, friends, God, fun, school, and work) can be seen as the perfect soundtracks to many people's typical week. This includes grind songs for work/school on Monday (Kanye's "Spaceship" or Chance's "Blessings,"), gospel songs for Sundays ("Jesus Walks" or "How Great,") or romance songs for Friday night ("Slow Jamz" and "Juke Jam.") Far from being just a cool coincidence, this structure is reflected in lots of other rap albums too, like Nappy Roots' "Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz" and its songs "Po Folks," "Life's a Bitch," or "Start It Over."

Hope you enjoy, thanks guys! Peace, -Martin

TL;DR: The guy behind the 2 popular Vox hip-hop videos created his own YouTube channel.
