Digi released his new album. If anyone cares.
I've created an archive of the lyrics below, and bolded the parts I find most... interesting. Lots of references to still being in debt and burning money on drugs. Some suicide baiting, then some larping as an LBGT hero. The song Electric Type is LIQUID CRINGE and I would highly recommend giving it a read.
Dollas fallin outta my pockets
Got my paycheck I smoke that
Old bills still owe that

I got no stacks I just love livin so I
Stay getting and spend so fast
I’m on no track, wheels spinning
Its a rough path, and we ain’t equipped

So y’all can—pray that—we don’t slip
Road trip every weekend
See things make my heart beat and
Earn feats with my own feet and
Breathe easy in silent—sleep

Its never quiet enough
I struggle parsing noise from signal sometimes talking is rough
I want to be in places my voice carries without shouting
Singing alone in the mountains
Hiking far away to find an audience that wont mind
Seeing faces like mine, hearing voices like mine
Places where you stay outside from day to night cause the sun shines and the view is life

Ill spend whatever it takes
To spend my life by the lakes
And if I bend till I break
I’ll do it somewhere amazing


I Had To Give Tyler A Call
I had to give Tyler a call
Summer came and I’d just finished licking wounds of the fall
Gone into the green wild with some Julia Holter and Chelsea Wolf
The pack was digging all of the tunes
I pulled off somewhere in Utah ripped a few bong hits off and wandered around
Found a sound and tossed my records in it
Fished em out they sounded better
Them guppies know something about hooks
Get more compliments than weird looks
Because I walk into the room like I’m the headliner
Fine diner so my driver is a gourmet cook
And good girl so he happens to be my husband too now look
We can hang if you like anime music and weed
Or wandering around the city streets watching the scenery
Climbing trees and diving into brush or if you’d like to split for lunch
We eat at local places, take adventures, always try the pho
Always give a fuck what others gotta say
The knowledge which expands my brain allows me to maintain my outstanding outspoken ways
I wanna pay for it the way Ive been and things Ive done
I spent a lotta energy on trying to become the thing I thought I was
Recollecting before blowing up just like a supernova
Word to HOVA I know all of us upon the East coast had to be born a soldier
Boots to ground the globe trotter round the world the flow caught her
Spins inside my dome, water in my lungs until I spit
This pneumonia thats oh so sick
I was dissociative and used to it
Now I’m always moving to your town so you get used to it
Now I always move money around like butter over a hot steak
Im about to plate my hot take you potstickers are gonna break and tear
I hate to bear the bad news but a lotta them lyrics about money and power from rappers are not true
Only 15 outta the 2,755 billionaires are black, rich people are not crew
And fuck being crabs in a bucket kids, help me help you

I got time to spare for now and words for later, cling to what you can
Never be afraid to hold on to one line for dear life until the end
Ill do all I can, and that may not be much I might not really be shit
But even if I fucking suck Ill keep trying because defeat is something that I cant live with
Even with forgiveness I still need to win this

Coffee And Tanqueray Tonic
Drinkin that coffee and tanqueray tonic
I got the product right there in my pocket
Bring it out back we ain’t smokin in public
Hittin the wax and the shrooms and you bumpin
Five oh we duckin
Trunk fulla stuff like I’m hunter s Thompson
Bring out the Gronk and we stompin
Fuck all your logic you bang or you boppin
Nobody stopping
I got the rhymes and we got the rank
I got the fire if you got the dank
I got that smooth movement slip through and redo your whole movement
Gone prove shit
My bass is just here to Unglue shit
I’m laughing cause you think you knew shit
Bout the new shit from that new bitch
I’m unscrewed boy and I’m ruthless
You rue the day that you tried to do shit
So don’t do this
Step to me and see a flurry of the crews fists
I don’t fight for fun I don’t fight alone
We have have enemies and we beat them prone
Don’t ask for shit and don’t get involved if you
Ain’t down ten motherfucking toes

Coffee and tanqueray tonic
Product right there in my pocket
Do I? No fuck I do not, just
Pop it open and I drop this

I Put Too Much Into It
Too much into it I put too much into it
I wouldn't know how to quit, I put too much into it

Writing like I got too much time on my hands
Every second is necessary use it to advance
Nonstop, my thumbs moving as fast as they can
Because you only get out as much as you put in

Its raging water season
That Golden Witch as big as Earl gon leave yo mama reading
I put a bullet thru a ballot, cleaver to a pig, eating pork and shallots, lifted from the fridge, easing my imbalance
Looking for a challenge
only find it at the top
Pulling all the stops sounds like Nakashima when it drops
Third im-pact Earth is rocked
Ive watched my planets implode like Spock
My mom just got back from the hospital—again
I just heard another rumor started by a friend
I just found another reason not to log in

I just found a DM reminding me to breathe in
From somebody Ive never even met...
Whats the state of my world again?
When people have to repeat things theyve said again
I feel like what am I doing when Im Tyler Durden?
Feeling encouragement from songs I wrote years ago
About fearing the position I knew I’d be in how’d I know?

When I did everything I could to oppose?

Electric Type (F Watchu Say)
Sparks be flyin out my eyes Im an electric type
Like Raichu no fu shit Your fury swipes
Cant reach my eyes
I got juumanvoruto my kid’s like Boruto
Lightning bolts and volt tackle
Every single day is a battle
When I shock your system the scenery rattles
It’ll be an epoch before you grapple
With the stun lock flows I use to juggle you
Never let you get comfortable

Unxious to enemies and friends with some criminals
You aint a threat to me my outlook is cynical
Ill make a hundred thousand and Ill spend it in a minute bro
I just dont give a fuck I only do what I wanna do
I only answer to the dictator in my brain
Trying to tame these strange thoughts and make me feel sane
We arrange the syllables into lyrical symbols to represent the repressed feelings we wanna push through
And heres mine: I lost fifteen years to fearing my queerness
And fucked up so much I see a sheer cliff behind me
A canyon Im climbing cause the bridge I burned broke
And I choke when Im dishonest so to live up to my promise of survival
Ive no choice but bite at the throat and guide you where I want you to go
With the visions I impart through my flows
I been dope since 2008 even to my haters
The follow my every move, obsessive fakers
Ive always been a fucking undertaker
Draggin em under the lake where I burrow
I furrow my brow at the proud look on your face after the sounds that just fell outta your mouth
You aint a legend, you aint done shit
I bet youll quit and go back to your mothers tit
You fucking suck shit!

Im a talent the bag I stay fit aint no sag I got style and no class so I perk up that ass
Fuck whos watching or listening you probably fist yourself and cry when you think of me little bitch

Fuck watchu say
I aint hearin I aint hearin I aint hearin it

Unpause (sampl. Zoe Bee)
How much shit can a witch take?
Don’t bother beg and borrowing I just steal and talk about tapes
Whatever’s within my vicinity will be within me and
Effortlessly twisted into infinity and pushed into being
I don’t give a fuck unless I really give a fuck
And then I never run I barrel forward like I’m aiming for the sun
Thinking that thing couldn’t possibly be hotter than my blood
I’ve been burning up since I was one Id had enough

Icymi I lived online since 1999
When mom was on the Chop Suey and Suicide was on the mind
I lived my life to see the next set of Pokémon cards or
Magazines that teach what all the legendary anime are
Coheed and Cambria records Tool and Mars Volta would get her
Dalek taught respect for depths of rap
And Imma use that to show the kids trapped in the closet
What your life could be like when you just unpause it


Cradle to the Grace
Snot girl vomiting my guts on a mic
Like I’m living off of cat food in District 9
Perfect Pitch like its Princess but feelin like Alien
Failure? Nein nein this depth is where where I reside
When you find your whole identity between the lines
The world don’t seem so black and white
Fables seem to be alive among the populous
Im ambitious like Molineux so I don’t make no promises

What set the flame?
Don’t know if it’s a memory that’s still inside my brain
But if it is there are so many strange options for blame
So many more for thanks
My mom had the tenacity to ensure that her baby ranks among the most intelligent and had the chance to fast-track and advance
But the little setbacks felt so striking and intense and when we moved so much I never figured out how to make friends
Mom was depressed and disappointed, daddy’s always working and I was avoidant, never knowing how I could relate
Pretending to be a boy cause I was afraid to be gay
I spiraled up my mind for twenty years every day
Getting farther and farther from being able to relate
To anyone except the self-described depraved and the insane

I burned myself away and found a way to run with all the pain until it felt like pleasure
Treasuring the memories I haven’t bleached away
I’ve been reaching for the light and waking up during the day
I skip the hate and lead the way

The Golden Witch Risen from the flames
Fire on my name from the cradle to the grace

Just Wanna Feel Good About Myself
just wanna feel good about myself (x 8 )

even tho I spent all my dough just
flexin' on hos ridin' coast to coast

Hard to know what I'd change 'cause I grow
Even from my mistakes so I go with the flow

just wanna feel good about myself (x 8 )

even though I lost all my contacts
When I tossed my phone into the Adirondacs

I don't care if they don't call it a comeback
Say whatchu want didn't buy a new phone because--

just wanna feel good about myself (x 8 )

Permission to Proceed
How do you do this is Trixie the Golden Witch
oldest of the new school a pony glyph
magnifying glass up to the pupils
explaining truths
bringing it to everyone who needs the proof
that they can do the things they know they need to do
shatter the roof and blast off,
cast off the burdens of aspersions
make the future current
push the current
spit into the world and blur the lines
redefine the way they look at the times
look in the minds of the ones who out there living the life
bringing the vibe
cooking the loud and
smoking the bright
I gotta whole lot of talent and still a whole lot of spite
so if you trippin tonight
make sure you gripping a mic
like your life depended on it cause I rip it and ride
with vocabulary so scary got you pissing in fright
run along little dog it’s hot for bitches tonight

The response echoes miles over vast landscapes
The past mandates our rebates
Can you image fate forgets our receipts or proceeds do we need permission to proceed?
 

Ugh. If my ears could vomit, they would. Someone else listen to this and tell me I'm wrong. This is fucking trash. I actually visibly grimaced as soon as the first track started playing. I'm not joking. Rarely is music so bad it makes me fucking gag on nothing.

The pacing of the rap is off-beat. The audio compression is fucked up and full of high-pitched artifacts. The lyrics are boring. The rhymes and wordplay are awful. Generic soundcloud trash is an understatement.

Holy fuck. I thought he had to've improved. It's worse than generic. At least most generic bullshit has a bit-rate higher than 30.
 
I like the analogy but I just don't know what you see in this guy that shows he's intelligent. If anything he is a moron going by his own actions - Decides to cut residual income and deletes all his videos off his channel, changes the purpose and branding from his name Digibro which has a following in the anime community to YGG or whatever the fuck ruining his brand awareness, Has zero self-awareness to realize he has no talent for this band trip, TROONED OUT cant forget that genius move, didn't save or invest ANY money, lost it all and had to move back in with his parents, countless relationship issues, no education or skills to speak of formal or self taught... I mean I could keep going here.

Below average intelligence at best here. Lets not forget the guy is also 30. To go by your analogy his steering should be sorted out by now, bad parents or not....
Keep in mind I'm no psychologist, but purely from his writing in terms of vocabulary and structure, it would at least imply a heightened cognition for language. A guy with an 80IQ wouldn't be able to convey himself that way most likely.

If I had to hazard a guess I would put him around 110,120 at most, as I haven't seen him do anything 'mindblowing' so to speak.

The thing is IQ as a measurement for intelligence is very flawed as it does not take into account things like creative ability or emotional intelligence etc. and mostly is just pure reasoning, memorization and logic if current tests are involved.

That being said, IQ is a serviceable indicator for cognitive abilities but only in the setting it portrays via it's questioning. Those logic tasks are easier to standardize than say being able to draw a gorgeous picture, write an engaging text, picking up the correlation of a term between two foreign languages etc.

In general, having high cognitive abilities/IQ does not guarantee a thing, if it isn't discovered/nurtured in a proper setting. It is easier to excel academically in some cases, but at the same time an individual could be bored with the slow pace and basically switch off/stop trying, especially if a school system or parents don't allow for the freedom to grow one's talents because they don't see them or don't care.

That detour aside, one can be intelligent but an absolute retard at the same time. Which for me is Digi in a nutshell. His emotional baggage, arrested development, refusal to admit failures and errors and drug abuse destroy any semblance of logic he could ever put to use and hinder his writing ability, steering it away from growing, but rather regressing, as he currently tends to only do things relating to himself, projecting himself into every idea iE 'The character once wore lipstick as a gag, ergo this whole show is actually about being trans, just like me, being a girl all along.'

Left-leaning culture nerds who do stupid progressive shit like troon out tend to be in the 105-115 range, which is basically upper 40% of the population. They're ever so slightly smarter than the average white trailer trash, meaning they can handle books and have the patience to sit through long storylines in shows. But they're retards compared to actual geniuses.

The difference between a normal person and a retard (I.Q. below 70) is only 20-30 IQ points, so people with 110~ I.Q.'s are still effectively retarded compared to 130-150 I.Q. geniuses that make up the top 10%-1% of the population.

He's by no means special, he squandered his intelligence on too many drugs and has struggled to do very basic things like brushing his teeth and saving money. He was probably a somewhat gifted kid, but he ruined his future with daily drugs and anime, which fried his brain. Many such cases among low-T white boys.
 
Everything under 3 minutes in 9 tracks, what effort. “Lost my contacts / when I threw my phone into the Adirondacks” is a good line though, but judging by the amount of lyrics in that track I bet he just built the song around that one line lazily.

Word to HOVA I know all of us upon the East coast had to be born a soldier

no, fuck you tranny. You do not get to shout out fucking Jay-Z on one of your shitty tracks like he’ll be listening to it.
 
who cross-dresses purely for the sexual desires of other men and was sexually abused by an older neighbour when he was younger.
Exactly.
Most Troons have that in common, and the reason this manga "good" is because it tells a sad fact (for most) about why they go down this road.

But aside from his hedonistic/lazy lifestyle and manners that made him the B. today, was he possibly molested/raped?
 
The Yggers' adoring fans in the official Ygg Discord channel ("V O I D G A Z E R") completely ignoring Billy's announcement (even after 'everyone' tagging) of Ygg Studio's recording of the second Elko show they were at (the one Digi performed Get Action! afterwards):

Holy shit Digi. Even in your own music your taste sucks.


Please. go to 2:13 in this song. What the actual fuck is this. Not that the rest of the song is better but, Fuck. He actually thinks this is good.

Yeah, there's no way Digi has a significantly below-average IQ. Those people have trouble with reading comprehension, let alone writing; and while average people frequently enjoy consuming info-heavy media, it's rare for someone to be interested in writing unless they are at least somewhat bright. I'm guessing Digi is in the low 120s. In random groups of ten to twenty-ish people, he can expect to be the smartest person about half the time. Not a genius, but a quick learner with good memory.

I am also not a psychologist, but if I was I'd probably explain this by making a distinction between IQ (ability to store and manipulate information) and personality (emotional reactions which affect how you would apply it).

If you go by the Big Five, his profile probably looks like this:

Openness: very high - Digi likes information/new experience
Conscientiousness: very low - Digi is a lazy slob
Extroversion: low - Digi hates people
Agreeableness: low - people hate Digi
Neuroticism: very high - Digi is a sensitive coward

Digi is extremely high in Openness to Experience, the trait measuring a person's interest in learning and information. It breaks down into Intellect (interest in ideas), which Digi is pretty high in; and Openness proper (interest in representation, art, aesthetics, and chasing new experiences), which Digi is so high in that they might actually be an outlier.

Interest in ideas tends to track IQ pretty closely, and Openness (the sub category) is basically creativity. High Openness compels people to craft models and combine information in new ways. It correlates with intelligence, probably because IQ is a bottleneck (creativity without intelligence is just being wrong). Digi's tendency to make complex models which eventually become incomprehensible to anyone but him is in line with him being smart, but not smart enough to keep up with his urge to create.

Digi is extremely low in trait Conscientiousness, which is basically the impulse to be a good member of society. It includes Industriousness (tendency to work hard) and Orderliness (cleanliness, respect for rules and boundaries).

Digi actually worked pretty hard at times, so his Industriousness isn't through the floor, but in retrospect his insane Openness was probably doing the heavy lifting there, and when it doesn't involve art or talking about art, he can't seem to do the simplest tasks. His Orderliness actually is through the floor, and I think that's the real problem.

People with no Orderliness tend to be physically and morally repulsive (they only feel disgust in extreme circumstances), with poor impulse control and almost no ability to follow standards; and because Conscientiousness tends to direct people towards goals and behaviors which are likely to give a good result, people high in it tend to get mistaken for being smarter than they actually are (think of Hank Hill's relationship to Bill and Dale).

This combo is actually pretty common among creatives, especially young ones, but people who have it usually come up with strategies to manage their impulses, or suffer consequences which redirect their behavior (in a way it's lucky Digi is so high in Neuroticism; a confident Digi with a high tolerance for pain would probably become a menace to society).

Going by the Big Five, Digi is pretty male-brained when it comes to his low Agreeableness; women tend to be more agreeable than men (example: girls were way easier to deal with than boys in any school group project I ever did); with his very high Openness towards new ideas and information; his low extroversion and his low agreeableness.

He is, however, extremely neurotic and that's the only female-dominant trait he has.
Agreeableness: low - people hate Digi
What about Don Jolly? I remember one of the last streams he did with Digi, May, and that one guy. Digi made a callous comment about how most people are NPCs which Don was obviously hurt by, eventually leaving the call when it became clear that Digi literally couldn't understand that complex emotions were not limited to a tiny intellectual elite. Don also tried to bring up The Variety of Religious Experience (an actual intellectual achievement, which I read and was referring to in my earlier post) and just gave up after getting shouted over. Anyone with basic human empathy would have seen that Don was having a moment and needed to be reassured.
Are you referring to this stream on one of May's channels?:

He's easily my favourite guest Sam Hyde ever had on. He's 100% spot on with the problems with the postgrad world of college, without sounding like an kneejerk ultra-conservative muh liberals corrupting muh educational institutions PragerU speaker. He's absolutely correct that postgrads are a bunch of well-meaning but clueless types listening to public radio and oblivious to their own demise by the very people they've entrusted with their time and money.

I can't believe Digi had access to such a scholarly and profound mind as recently as last year. Never mind Ben Saint, who alone was a major loss to lose as a friend (never mind his ideological leanings, he was a good friend who was more than willing to call out someone on their bullshit, i.e. Digi's), but Digi giving up discussions with PhD graduates to hang out instead with fucking BILLY?!

I swear to god, this is what happens when an absolute mongoloid hears the high pitched auto tune vocals on tracks like Stargazing on Astroworld and goes 'YEAH, I CAN DO THAT' while failing miserably at it. Mash it together with 100gecs shrieks and you have yourself a certified Golden Witch Classic.

Yeah, and when you add in things like his lack of interest in people and risk-taking, you end up with an extremely male mind. If you looked for other people with his combination of traits and interests (which splits along gender lines far more cleanly than traits in isolation) I doubt more than one in a thousand would be biologically female.

Yes it was, and I think I have to walk back what I said a bit. I listened to this back when it dropped and had remembered being pissed, but it was probably more directed at Ash (whom I find insufferable), with me shifting blame to Digi as my opinion on him soured over time. Digi is still kind of being a dolt here, but it is not as bad as I remembered, although I still stand by my point in general. I guess that's why archiving is important.

The section I remembered is near the end, starting around 3:23, if any one cares.

Holy shit, the SAME Don Jolly who did this guest appearance video with Sam Hyde?:

Yeah. Don was a big deal for a while on Digi's channel (honestly surprised someone here didn't know that). A fan recommended Don's channel and Digi covered it in that "Goin' Underground" video (maybe the last good video he ever made) before Don reached out and they hit it off. Don was killing it for a while, and several of my all time favorite videos came out on his channel during the period between him meeting Digi and Covid.

Unfortunately, Don suffered a death in the family which he had to help manage the fallout of, as well as a series of smaller troubles, and mostly disappeared from the internet earlier this year. I suspect getting the patronage of a massive YouTuber whom he was a fan of, only for them to stop existing, might have been a factor; but apparently bitterness is clouding my memory, so take that with a grain of salt.

If you haven't seen any of his stuff, I'd highly recommend checking it out. His D23 vid was the breakout hit, but most are really good.

Digi giving up discussions with PhD graduates to hang out instead with fucking BILLY?!

By the time Digi was really losing their shit, Don had already been AWOL for a while, so it wasn't entirely a choice. Although it's still true that Digi horribly underutilized Don when he was around (those two doing a podcast with actual good guests would have blown the PCP to shit).

When the Void crew were tweeting about driving through Texas (I think on the way to Elko after losing the home in Virginia Beach) I was praying that they weren't going to try to drag Don into their bullshit, and luckily it didn't happen.

The worst part of that final part of that stream for me was when Jolly left; none of them contemplated about what Jolly meant in his point about NPCs and Digi and May instead sprouted incoherent conspiracy nonsense about Bill Gates and vaccines. Listening to that enforces the theory that May was indeed reasonable for Digi becoming increasingly imbecilic.
Yeah. Don was a big deal for a while on Digi's channel (honestly surprised someone here didn't know that).
Tbf, Don only really appeared on Digi's channel in late 2019, shortly before he went full retard. I only knew of Don via Sam Hyde, I had no idea until now that he worked with Digi (albeit briefly).
