while, as a general rule, one never goes full deej, I must admit I've been mildly sceptical about the rmr hype myself. I do like it but it's also a bit on the nose.

rod wave's songwriting is getting sharper without losing that raw nerve emotion

crazy how popular he's gotten, but hard to think of any rap young'n who deserves it more.

the rmr doesn't do anything for me without the video

i'll agree that the video is most of the appeal

these really are the end times

Last month, Jay announced that he would be releasing A Written Testimony in 40 days (which would be on Wednesday, March 18). The album was recorded over a 40-day, 40-night stretch starting on December 26, and will feature Jay-Z, who signed Electronica to Roc Nation back in 2010.
which begs the question....what the fuck have you been doing??
crazy, not sure it will be good but def curious to hear it after all these years

hey man, he did at least, like, 8 guest verses in the meantime.
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Thursday, 12 March 2020 21:44 (four years ago) link
I mean it's kind of stunning in a way, the dude has this enduring rep based on....two songs
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 12 March 2020 21:49 (four years ago) link
well the Jay Electronica album is a huge fuckin messHov is all over it, like nearly every song (every song), I wonder if JE was struggling to write?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:15 (four years ago) link
a bunch of these songs were clearly recorded in 2011 at the latest. his voice has totally changed, you can tell how much older he sounds on 'neverending story' than 'ghost of soulja slim'
and in the case of shiny suit theory, i was crazy about that song when i was 20 in 2010. glad to see it finally on streaming services tho.
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:27 (four years ago) link
then again on 'soulja slim' he drops a black panther reference, so maybe even each individual track is a hodgepodge

yeah everything just feels...weird and disjointed, and not in a cool way

yeah, people are gonna pull some bars and they'll look good, but it doesn't work as a listening experience

i feel like i missed the moment when lil uzi vert was decreed not worthy of discussion. really enjoying eternal atake; should I ... not be?
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:19 (four years ago) link
alb is getting rave reviews, this board isn't populated with uzi stans at the moment.
also not populated with many people who talk hip-hop on a regular basis, unfortunately.

fwiw I got halfway through the 106-minute version out today and thought it was pretty alright
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:50 (four years ago) link
was also gonna say that it's mostly good but also a lot to digest
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:53 (four years ago) link
tacking on an extra album's worth of material but placing it at the front of the tracklist is....certainly a move
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:54 (four years ago) link
Jfc there is literally no rapper who ever lived that I want to hear a 106 minute album from
What's the "real" album tracklist? I should check it out
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:57 (four years ago) link
it's really two albums, tbf, bundled together. most likely for chart reasons. just ignore the "deluxe edition" and listen to the original.
tho im listening to the deluxe disc right now and the future, 21, and keef songs are hitting pretty hard.
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Friday, 13 March 2020 17:00 (four years ago) link
of course, listening to uzi is always an experience where i'm like 'this knocks, what's this one called?' only for me to find out that it's called 'yessirski'
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Friday, 13 March 2020 17:01 (four years ago) link
digging urgency a lot. the concept and skits are so hilariously disconnected from the album tho, like to an extent I was literally lolling
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Friday, 13 March 2020 17:38 (four years ago) link
the non deluxe version is a pretty great album
― ANU (sisilafami), Friday, 13 March 2020 20:16 (four years ago) link
yeah tbc im not talkin deluxe, looks overwhelming
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Friday, 13 March 2020 21:01 (four years ago) link
i like uzi's album more than the last one
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Friday, 13 March 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link
the original tracklist anyway ... havent heard new one
heard the new one. Excellent as well.
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Saturday, 14 March 2020 04:09 (four years ago) link
philly and Pennsylvania in general just seem so ... relevant for neo-america; its combination of urban decay contrasting with gentrification and its proximity to trump-country Appalachia makes it feel like a microcosm of forgotten usa. i feel like for this album it sort of contributes to this stylistic slurry of regional and popular styles and makes the emo blend in seamlessly. uzi's drugged out exuberance concealing pain, being vulnerable and aggressive at the same time, just feels very touching as we all slog through the long 2016. obviously, it's unsustainable, and the amount of young rappers dying lately is just so incredibly sad, and then those that do succeed being turned into anhedonic shells a la future or drake, it all just points to a sense that things need to slow the fuck down and that we need to disconnect from this hyper individualistic life

I like that kind of regional writing !!
