it’s weird that the can-i-bus album has a reputation for bland beats, but i’ve never thought so. maybe it does compared to black on both sides or internal affairs, idk

that one los & nutty song reminds me a bit of jimmy wopo (RIP)

the canibus song deej linked made me think about how rare it is to hear steel guitar in hip-hop, but lo and behold, the big kahuna mixtape that roxymuzak linked has hawaiian/steel guitar on my fav song from the tape

late pass on this carti album. so weird on first listen, nearly experimental.

the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link

maybe it's the sonics and vocal experimentation, maybe it's the way it proudly wallows in toxic solipsism (with occasional vulnerable moments), but the album i keep thinking about when i think of whole lotta red is future's monster

it's "wesley presley" thee album

boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 23:32 (three years ago) link

better than monster imo

i thought his album was pretty disappointing, the leaks were much cooler/more distinctive to me. but i'm still really interested in what he's doing generally

the album was a little patchy, i agree, but still had some bangers, especially "home run" and the title track.

re: pooh shiesty, his tape is pretty solid front-to-back, but besides "back in blood" there's nothing on it as good as this cut from 2019

tiwa-nty one savage (voodoo chili), Monday, 15 February 2021 23:51 (three years ago) link

idk “guard up” is a pretty great single imo... “back in blood” is nice too & has the durk feature boosting it but i actually like “guard up” better

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 16 February 2021 02:48 (three years ago) link

babyface ray's latest ep got a lukewarm p4k review, but what can i say i just like the dude, and it was cool to hear him over different styles of production (tho he always had a broader sonic palette than a lot of his detroit peers). i get where the review is coming from, considering how good ray can be at his peak (2019's mia season 2 is one of my fav rap albums of the past five years)

It's hopelessly old-school, but DJ Muggs & Rome Streetz's Death & the Magician really scratches that 90s hardcore rap itch.

Tbf if 'Move' is supposed to be a Ludacris callback, he's nowhere near as shouty as his predecessor (and that's a good thing, too).

pomenitul, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link

very much digging the new album from austin rapper-producer wiardon. he's simultaneously nervy and laid-back, very mature for his 18 years, and fluent in a lot of production styles.

This is bound to paint me as a neo-backpacker or whatever, but Armand Hammer is the current hip hop act whose albums I look forward to the most.

this one strikes me as a cut above even his very good average

suprise! i love the alchemist/armand hammer

i think they bring cool things out of each other, alchemist gets a little more out there and it's cool to hear them in a more conventional production setting

Sheldon Pearce ( former Pitchfork current New Yorker writer editor) calls Alchemist “one of hiphop’s greatest producers ever” in his little New Yorker review of Armand Hammer “Haram.” I like Alchemist style but am not sure if he’s in top pantheon. What do you all think?

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 13:48 (three years ago) link

he's been a fixture for two decades and he's arguably having his greatest (critical) success now, idk where i'd put him on my personal list but he's worked himself into the conversation

voodoo chili, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 13:54 (three years ago) link

I really hate ranking shit, but I definitely think the last decade has done a lot to make his stock rise

and in retrospect he's definitely part of what led to the whole new east coast grimy underground shit - griselda, mach hommy, roc marciano, the god fahim, etc etc etc, hell daringer's whole sound

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 14:15 (three years ago) link

He's very resilient, he went from producing street hit singles in the 00's to middleground albums nowadays.
Gotta respect that. But greatest producer ? No.

the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 22:15 (two years ago) link

It's cool I think Bruised Brigade is actually going to be a cool and interesting label with a real vibe, not just the typical rapper label where it feels they just are doing it because that's what you do when you get to a certain level

heavily fucking with the topaz jones album.

wow yeah feels like he's been around forever

digging Deuce Ellis - Acid

he's got a good flow, love the beats, the live bass sample almost reminds me of a modern Low End Theory track this one has Che Noir who I like a lot too

Rome Streetz dropped two more collabs this year, one with Ankhlejohn, the other with Futurewave, and while they're not quite on par with Death & The Magician (although Razor's Edge comes close), his raps are remarkably solid for one so prolific.

Essential as in particularly memorable, or as in a definitive artistic statement. It’s cool. I listened to it more than any other rap album this year. But it lacks magic.

Punk is not bad, but no way is it better than Jeffery or Beautiful Thugger Girls, which I see as the end of Young Thug's godlike run. It seems to me that the best of that era is what Punk is aspiring to repeat, and just sort of approximating.

Freeze Instr., Monday, 20 December 2021 00:23 (two years ago) link

I 100% think it is better than both of those albums, which were overrated at the time due to what he’d accomplished immediately prior

xheugy eddy (D-40), Monday, 20 December 2021 01:28 (two years ago) link

Not sure I hear it

For me it has the same problem as So Much Fun (which is OK), a sort of no-beginning, no-end plateau, nothing horrible but nothing jumping out of the stereo either

A sort of MOR Thug. And the Fun guy - no

I'll listen again and see if I can hear what you're hearing, I do want to like it.

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 4 January 2022 16:32 (two years ago) link

idk the precise definition but it's the kind of sound with complex, distorted synth melodies (sometimes they're trance-y, sometimes they imitate guitars) and blown-out percussion, kind of like "die4guy" or "king vamp" on whole lotta red or the entirety of yeat's album up 2 me
