Stakes is high is a pretty preachy album. I know a lot of people think it's the best De La album but it's where they fell off to me.

could be argued that nearly anything else comes off "preachy" when pimp/thug/dealer amorality is your baseline for realness

The Native Tongues don't really exist as any kind of group or movement by Stakes is High

Big Grams, the quicksilver collaboration between six-time Grammy Award®-winner Big Boi, and the groundbreaking genre-bending duo Phantogram (Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter) have completed their self-titled studio debut, BIG GRAMS. The eponymous 7-song collaboration will be released September 25th on Epic Records. BIG GRAMS marks Big Boi's first official release on Epic Records, since signing with the label last year. Phantogram and Big Boi collaborated previously on a handful of tracks from Big Boi's second solo album, 2012's Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, namely "CPU," "Lines" and "Objectum Sexuality," the latter also produced by Phantogram. Phantogram have released multiple EP's and two studio albums, which have produced two Top 10 alternative hits, "Black Out Days" and "Fall In Love." The duo is signed to Republic Records.BIG GRAMS TRACKLISTING1. Run for Your Life2. Lights On3. Fell In the Sun4. Put It On Her5. Goldmine Junkie6. Born to Shine f. Run the Jewels7. Drum Machine f.

pretty good tbhhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM0qq_WtH7U

I'm feeling this much more than anything I remember from the second album
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Thursday, 10 September 2015 15:24 (eight years ago) link
yeah i was meh about the phantogram tracks on vicious lies w/ the exception of "lines," which i really liked
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 10 September 2015 15:30 (eight years ago) link
on first blush, it's solid
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 10 September 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
like both on their own but got bored of this halfway thru
― nashwan, Thursday, 10 September 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
well it's no Kate Bush collab but it'll do

Lol I never did check out the second album cause it seemed so conceptually flawed and I was never as hot on the first album as a lot of people were but this is cool. Phantogram's 2000s hiphop vibe works for him.

First Big Boi album is so solid front to back. New single with Adam Levine is a little WTF but I have faith for the album in general

What do we think of the new one? Snoop, Kurupt, Killer Mike tracks solid.
