Forks whats a couple releases you liked this year that never got brought up itt?

hip hop releases? not many and primarily far more poppy than this thread cares to deal with.I disagree with a lot of trap uber alles and crit rhetoric that gets slung around on here but it's been an excellent source for new music this year, no doubt. it's why i'm here!

can't imagine there's many surprises there
i spent the last day or two giving a college try to Big Boi / TI / Chief Keef and am having THOUGHTS but nothing worth sharing at the moment beyond the obvious

new freeway and vybz also in attempted rotation
― ILX is not a non-profit — we are just not profitable (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 27 December 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link
Cool, I still haven't managed to get through that El-P album yet.
― small-scale fux with (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 27 December 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
Need to hear that Freeway too.
im sure ppl here are as interested in hearing forks' thoughts on chief keef as they are mine at this pt
― D-40, Thursday, 27 December 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
i found the el-p pretty hit and miss but the hits are meaningfulone off singles by artists that are new to me are the most useful impact stuff on this thread for my money. that's how i vibed with 100s and why i've listened to this zilla track like nine zillion times this yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GQahDwCpQ0
― ILX is not a non-profit — we are just not profitable (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 27 December 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
That Zilla tape has so many good beats.

keef album is interesting in its minimalism; i don't exactly want to listen to it but its something of a master class. Quivering candy painted suspension wires. singles are still totally unpalatable but something clicked when I tried: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQCyhaOt9bcso i'm not coming around exactly so much as i am getting what there is to get as opposed to, say, gucci and waka who still are opaque to me even after i've tried for years

That synth(?) sound was cool at first but then just kinda dominated after I got about half way through. I like though.

Zilla. Hardly a marketable rapper but I love the guy.
― dyslectic Christ Brown (longneck), Friday, 28 December 2012 00:08 (eleven years ago) link
And two out of his three releases this year were pretty great even though no one really cares.

hoping that next year's thread is gonna have a better title so that I'll actually bookmark it because goddamn how did I miss out on gunplay this year

i've been going thru some rap EOY lists and discovering some amazing trax. in partic, so far:
troy ave - i know why you madmic terror - rodney kingfam-lay - clap clap <= X A MILLIONfeva - handsomedj paul - cocky gunplay - take this <= HOW HAD I NOT HEARD THIS GUNPLAY SONG OMFG THE BEATty$ - the weekend [this wasn't on the ty$ mixtape i have, it's...different in a good way, those weird horns really liven up the warmed-up rack city beat]lil dev - i'm perkinsca$h out - cashin' out
the worst is the rick ross/drake/french montana song, a less palatable combination of rappers on one song i cannot imagine
― lex pretend, Friday, 28 December 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
lol you will probably take some shit for mentioning ty $ as 'rap' (although his cadences/melodies always sounded so 'contemporary singsong rapper' to me that i was surprised to find out he was categorized as a singer myself)

i was surprised to see ty$ in a rap list myself! i'm just working through the noz/martorialist zips and it's in there

― lex pretend, Friday, 28 December 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah definitely one of my jams of the year.
― small-scale fux with (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Friday, 28 December 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
it's so good! reminds me in a sideways fashion of "get buck" (an all-time fav) but with more slathery synths
― lex pretend, Friday, 28 December 2012 20:13 (eleven years ago) link
maybe noz would read this board less if chief deef didn't mention him pretty much every single day
― fanute me or shoot me (some dude), Friday, 28 December 2012 20:20 (eleven years ago) link
