good to hear about the Action Bronson. liked Dr Lecter and "Well Done" (w/ Statik Selectah) last year.

the action bronson is basically the only thing i've listened to for the past day and a half

can't bring myself to listen to an action bronson album, everything about him is so corny
though i'm sure it's good or whatever

ha i don't know

i def get where you're coming from and i wasn't sold on the guy at all until very recently but i think this album is way too fun and hilarious to be corny
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:44 (twelve years ago) link
Def a fun listen, he is a good look for the boom-bap scene. I kind of want to dislike him but just can't.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:44 (twelve years ago) link
i wanted to like him but never really thought he'd transcend his very obvious influences but idk dude just murders it this entire album
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:45 (twelve years ago) link
i dont understand how anyone could dislike action bronson
― ⚓ (gr8080), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:46 (twelve years ago) link
oh i could totally see it... for one he sounds exactly like ghostface killah
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:47 (twelve years ago) link
You sure it wasn't when he teamed up with RiffRaff that sold you?
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:47 (twelve years ago) link
i think there's a very fine line between having obvious talent as a writer and being a compelling, singular rap artist -- plenty of rappers from new york have grappled with this and failed

okay i wasn't going to say it BUT
"very recently" was coded language in that regard

bronson apparently has an album with harry fraud already in the can which has shot up pretty close to my most anticipated albums of 2012 list
Def that^
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:50 (twelve years ago) link
also i guess one w/ statik selektah too but that's prob where the ny boom bap thing becomes a bit too much for me
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:51 (twelve years ago) link
the "sounds like ghostface" thing stopped mattering to me after like the 4th AB track i listened to

that's kinda boring :(. Mystikal even sounds lethargic.

krit's getting better as a producer but he has turned into a deeply uninteresting rapper imo. i still like his voice a lot so he's best used at this point just dropping a hook or something a la "we buy gold", which is by far my favorite song connected with him this year. xps
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 09:23 (twelve years ago) link
Agree with that. With the right mix of guests the album should still turn out pretty good
― Number None, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 10:16 (twelve years ago) link
or he could just do a whole record with Ball and G
― Number None, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 10:18 (twelve years ago) link
the new wiz tape is cool... beats by cardo, lex luger, harry fraud, jake one and rob holladay (the guy who did love love vs hate love !) among others...

this Rich Kidz tape is real whatever, if you'd told me it was Diggy Simmons i woulda believed you
― some dude, Tuesday, March 13, 2012 10:41 AM (1 hour ago) Bookmark
i mean fair enough, they are kids. but the difference is that diggy cuts a check to jeremih for hooks while rich kidz write a bunch of em on their own, all of which are better than whatever ppl are getting from jeremih

i think i just want to blame drake for the very earnest melodic direction a lot of swag rap has taken in the past year or two, it's a really unpleasant combination to me
― some dude, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 13:10 (twelve years ago) link
wait, is sarge taking shots at jeremih?
― been to lots of college and twitter (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 13:14 (twelve years ago) link
also hold on i am thinking of verse simmonds
can i ask is that pronounced jeremy or jeremiah
― a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 13:23 (twelve years ago) link
neither
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 13:31 (twelve years ago) link
it's basically jeremiah with out the "uh" at the end
― some dude, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 13:46 (twelve years ago) link
i'm taking shots at jeremih as a hired out hook singer, sure

harry fraud beat on this is nice

best beat might be lex tho, he's good at sampling

Im like 5 minutes in, idk yet. Just him w/out a backing band.

jay-z is the only person who i'd watch a live show of (maybe flocka) because he and his band are so good together but if he's not playing w/o a band...
― 3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
i saw jay once live at this DJ hero event and, you know, after all the clowning we do about him now and shit it was fucking unreal amazing, he can just run through like a solid hour+ of classic after classic after classic, and he works well with his band to do cool things w/arrangements and bringing the energy up and down
then drugged out relapse era eminem followed looking like a sweaty ghost in a hoodie, so sad
― konybrony (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
i never post on this thread but this is the only place action bronson has really been discussed. i don't know how i feel about the production on his new tape but i lol'd when he name-checked jon caramanica.
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
there are a few tracks where it seems like he's actively trying to sound less like ghostface

i'd watch one for the novelty of how rare it is that Jay performs onstage w/ just him and a beat. but that's if i watched concerts on the internet which fuck that, talk about worst of both worlds.
