the massacre was trash

and what (ooo), Thursday, 8 June 2006 19:47 (eighteen years ago) link

It's going to take time. Right now, the majority rules. If everybody talk about black, and somebody come out saying blue, of course they going to alienate it for a minute. But the more people you get talking about blue, people going to realize that it's a scale, and they can pick a side. It's going to be power on both sides, and eventually, hopefully, the consciousness will come back around.

the massacre was consulted lyrically by death metal writers "It's elementary, your life is but a dream, u know row row your boat ya blood forms a stream. " that shitll open ya eyes, literally

Sticking to specific records (new ones):

*The Very Best of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince* (Jive/Legacy) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lupe Fiasco *Touch the Sky Hosted By DJ E Nyce* (Mixunit.com)

(I just verified this. It's true.)

lemme take back everything posItive i said about the massacre – listened to it this morning for the first time in months and it just seems like a waste of time all around now

Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 19 June 2006 12:46 (seventeen years ago) link

New Shawnna album is great, way better than her first one. I kind of wish there were more club burners, just because the ones on the album are so great, but the slow meditative ones are really good (notable exception is the awful track w Bobby Valentino).

Also, ILM should be prepared for the fact that one song samples the NEW RADICALS. I am not even joking.

deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 19:43 (seventeen years ago) link

go ahead and rip me a new one but i like the DMC solo album just fine

Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

What's the call on the Suga Free? Took me a while, but it's growing on me--esp. "So Fly," specifically, the line "I keep my nails done, I speak well, I'm watching my cholesterol/Live on a body of water, enjoy drinking alcohol."

max (maxreax), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, I didn't even know the Shawnna album was out next week until like today. I like the Field Mob album, especially "Blacker The Berry" and the Zone 4 productions, "At The Park" and "Bend Over Baby." between those albums and the compilation a few months ago, I'm kinda surprised that DTP is shaping up to be a pretty consistent label lately.

Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Suga Free is good as always, but without DJ Quik it might be his worst one.

deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, well maybe he shouldn't have stolen DJ Quik's beat and sold it to 4-Tay.

It's not Street Gospel but I think it's almost as good as New Testament.

max (maxreax), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone else heard Nas' "Where Y'all At" or Luda's "War With God"? The Luda song sounds like some old laid back Geto Boys/UGK type vibe. He sounds pissed.

The sample on the Nas song sounds waaaay familiar, but I can't place it. I'm not even sure whether I know it from the original or another rap song (I'm thinking the latter). Both of these are pretty hot.

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:12 (seventeen years ago) link

the hook on "Where Y'all At" is sampled from "Made You Look," if that's what you mean.

Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Not the hook, that was pretty obvious. I meant the beat.

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I like the Nas track, the new AZ track is incredible too. Haven't heard Luda yet. I think hearing him sound serious could be refreshing at this point though.

deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Haven't heard Luda yet. I think hearing him sound serious could be refreshing at this point though.

It defenitiely is. What's the new AZ track?

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Its called "The Format" and I believe its a Premier beat (if not its a good imitation). Gorgeous production at any rate.

deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks man!

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

That AZ track is fucking great; he's aged better than Nas, I think.

max (maxreax), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

"where y'all at" is nice! i'd pretty much given up on nas, but i'm assuming this is like made you look, the song that's going to get me all excited to go out and get the record, only to be disappointed....

M@tt He1geson, Rendolent Ding-Dong (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:37 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the format is great. i still check for every single az track that appears. i love last five years az shit more than his supposed classic shit. i love transcribing whole verses and marveling at how it all comes together and is about perfect as possible. he's on a whole other level than just about anyone.

333333333333 (33333), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

someone tell me where i can hear the new nas

max (maxreax), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm still annoyed that I can't figure out where I know the sample from.

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Who's Luda going at in "War With God"? T.I.? I thought they settled.

max (maxreax), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

sorta okay, kinda stilted and like he can't pick which nas mode he wants to be in, mixing up worldweary nas teacher nas untouchable gliding over the track nas. az track kills it if you wanna compare them.

YOUNG AND GIFTED, MY TONGUE'S PROLIFIC
IN THE BEACH BUNGALOW'S HOW I BRUNG IN CHRISTMAS
WITH THE STREET'S I'MA FLOW, FROM THE HUNGRIEST DISTRICTS
SWISS KICKS, CRISP WHEN I COME TO THEM PICNICS
PLAY IT SLOW, PAPERCHASE, STACK AND LAY LOW
RANGE ROVE, TINTED ALL BLACK, THE SAME OL
PSYCHIC MIND, RIGHTEOUS RHYMES
THEN TURN THE NEW LEAF ON MY LIFE OF CRIME
NO CONCERNS WITH NEW BEEF, WHO'S AS NICE AS I'M
IT'S CONFIRMED FROM A FEW FEET, I'M STILL A SNIPER BLIND
BUILT MY FAME, SPILT MY PAIN
POLITICKIN DAILY, STILL TRYNA MILK THE GAME
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I'M REAL, RAP SKILLS REMAIN
I TOOK SOME CHANGE AND I'M STILL THE SAME

333333333333 (33333), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah I was really feeling "City of Gods" off the last one, the one with that extended Rakim quote and the disco d beat.

deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

"The Come Up" was good too but not as good as "The Format"

deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 29 June 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Why can't he just be Nas? It seems rediculous to say he has to choose a certain facet of his personality for each song and stick with it.

It's Rodney, poised and rational! (R. J. Greene), Thursday, 29 June 2006 21:01 (seventeen years ago) link

is the az track up anywhere?

West Coast rapper/producer DJ Quik surrendered himself to San Bernardino County authorities on Thursday last week (22 June) and is currently in custody serving a 150-day sentence for the violation of a parole order.

Back in 2005, Quik, real name David Marvin Blake, was sentenced to two years of supervised probation following charges from an incident in 2003 in which the super producer’s sister claimed he assault her. According to police reports, Quick pulled a gun on his sister during a family argument.

Last year Quik was ordered to spend 45 days in jail on weekends following his guilty plea, however, he never served any of his time, which led to Judge Keith Davis increasing Quik’s jail time last week to 150-consecutive days and ordered him to begin serving it immediately.

On the AZ stuff, is Decade a good place to start or most of what I need?

matt2 (matt2), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Whoa I'd never seen that best of...it looks pretty comprehensive. Yr missing AWOL obviously, and the new single. The only AZ album I think pretty much flat out sucks is 9 Lives.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

That looks like a good comp because it compiles shit from outside his LPs, his shit with the firm, etc.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Does Decade have anything on it from Last Call?

max (maxreax), Friday, 30 June 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't remember all the songs on Last Call which is pretty uneven but I didn't recognize any on the tracklist. AWOL has 3 'bonus tracks' off Last Call.

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:00 (seventeen years ago) link

First of all, I'm an idiot for starting this thread instead of posting my query here: Shawnna - 'Block Music'.

Secondly, deej, did I really read this right?
Also, ILM should be prepared for the fact that one song samples the NEW RADICALS. I am not even joking.
If so, I will buy it immediately. As in 5 minutes ago. (New Radicals one of my favorite albums of the past decade, for real.)

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Is it wrong that reading this, about DJ Shadow's new album, just makes me sad? I don't wanna hear him making a damned hyphy record, I wanna hear him as a turntablist. And yes I guess in a way I'm saying "STAY THE WAY YOU ARE DON'T EVER CHANGE" but when you're as brilliant as he's been, is that a crime?

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

The song "Chicago" samples "Someday We'll Know"

deej.. (deej..), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Schwing!

Thomas Inskeep (submeat), Friday, 30 June 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

say, that AZ song is tops! sweet thx for the heads-up!
