have you guys seen Flying Lotus' new videos?, 2 that he has directed are closer to the DMT experience than anything I have seen before:


Bilal's video is amazing, even has a Shiva/Vishnu reference which I like, but this is just exactly what my trips are like:

Erykah Badu and the conveyor belt - been there!

...and don't forget these actually are DMT inspired unlike your random trippy video.

How do you know this to be true?

Well I don't know if that's straight up inspired, but it's well known that lotus does DMT inspired work, he's talked about it in several interviews.

Flying Lotus is one of the few artists that openly talk about DMT usage, and look at the videos, there is obviously a relationship there.

I'm an artist myself and I agree with Alex Grey that once you have that experience, all your work references it from that point.

wth is 'deemster'

c'mon? slang for a DMT user/fan/obsessed... you've never heard that before? I didn't come up with it. I like it though.

Is that like a hipster?

I never did like the context that the term "deemster" implies..I dont care what people want to call things personally..but I dont use DMT in that context myself..

i think it's what the douchester kids are calling dmt nowadays.
16 year love affair with this molecule, never heard 'deems'/'deemsters' until a couple years ago

That's prolly cause you are a deemster Fractal. Your right it does have the same context as hipster and scenester... that's what I meant, and I like the term. I call myself a deemster as to not take the whole thing too seriously. Deemsters are people who get caught up in the DMT scene, I recognize deemsters now, they're all very similar... hey, the DMT scene is a cool scene, if you're gonna be in one, it's probably the most interesting scene to be in... DMT is probably the most interesting subject I've come across, but yeah the nexus can be really lame when it comes to this stuff, you can take it seriously and not so seriously at the same time you know? You said it yourself man, don't get caught up in what people denote things, it's inevitable that people will do that... but also, at the same time, and I hate to say it, the deemsters are becoming somewhat cliché, gotta watch out for that

I'm starting to think Flying Lotus is a deemster like us.

for example, to get twisted over the term "deemster", thats a very deemster thing to do edit: actually maybe thats only a nexus thing.

when I was younger I really wanted to be individual but as I get older I realise that it's good to be in groups, in a way the nexus is a virtual tribe of like minded individuals and that's a good thing.

What context? In my limited experience, "deemster" refers to DMT, and has a slight invocation of "trickster", which seems appropriate. Hipster doesn't enter into it. That said, I don't care for labeling people who use spice, and have not heard the term used in this way. Drug culture in general goes in big time for names, handles, nick-names, tags... I suspect local variants are ...endless.
My 2 cents,
L

please don't make this thread become about the term "deemster". It's about the bloody flying lotus videos... which are fantastic.

Nah. It's not about labelling people who use DMT. I don't get the invocation of trickster, definitely not, the 'ster bit denotes getting caught up in something... there are loads of different types of scenesters... I know the term from when I lived in Providence, RI... everybody there knows the term, because that place is full of them, people who are all about their scene and almost look down upon people who are outside that scene. I'm not saying that's what the deemsters do, but some of them do certainly. The 'ster bit is a nod to intellectual snobbery.

WTF is the "DMT scene"?

Do you have any idea how ignorant this slang makes you sound?

***Rant deleted at OPs request to focus on Flying Lotus***

here we go. Let me answer with some rhetorical questions:

WTF is the hip hop scene?
WTF is the music scene?
WTF is the art scene?

"Do you have any idea how ignorant this slang makes you sound?" - you don't know what a scene is and you're calling me ignorant? before I get into something with you, you better have more to say than that because I'm not going to waste my time with someone who can't look at themselves in the mirror - deemster.

I've followed your posts SnozzleBerry, you shouldn't be calling me ignorant...you are and your post is what I just wrote about.

I never called you ignorant...simply insinuated that your verbiage made you sound ignorant...Your mirror comment is quite amusing, but irony often is.

Personally, I feel the slang you chose to use presents this particular substance in a radically different light than I view it. Perhaps this is merely where our opinions differ, and so too does our word choice. I do not like your word choice, I felt inclined to share that with you.

Oh, and in which of my posts do I make any claims to not be ignorant? Since you follow them so closely

IBeing, you gotta realize...this is a forum dedicated to DMT, and most here have enormous respect for the molecule. Deemster is considered derogatory, many of us really don't like that term, mainly because it's often used in the context of selling dmt.

there is no DMT scene, i don't know where you get the idea that there is one (inexperience, i guess)


that being said, I think Flylo vaped DMT for a week after his late aunt Alice (daughter of jazz legend John Coltrane) passed, then he recorded Los Angeles.
I don't really care for Cosmogramma.
imo, Reset was one of his better works, as was 1983.
Cosmo sounds like he lost some direction, it's all over the place.
