Earl is so overrated

Album has its moments, but it's not as good as Old so far... production sounds like its competing with DB. White Lines is cool though.

love this album, especially all the uptempo tracks. it's all i've felt like listening to lately.
production sounds like its competing with DB.
when i heard the tracks they released ahead of the album i had that same thought, that the post-punky samples didn't really blend with his voice, but in context it all somehow works.
on the other hand, i really don't like the production on the new Open Mike Eagle, there it clashes and doesn't leave enough space for him.

Yep, great album on the strength of the production alone. Need to dig more into the lyrics but this is definitely standing up to Old and XXX

New mostly instrumental mixtape from Paul White https://paulwhite.bandcamp.com/

He posted the video for "Ain't it Funny" yesterday. Probably my favorite video of his. Increasingly convinced that Danny Brown is one of the best rappers atm. He's got a unique, singular vision. Him, Earl, Kanye... I would listen to anything they do.

Great song and an even better video (directed by Jonah Hill????)

Every time I come across a Danny Brown song, my reaction is always "who knew that people would be all over a rapping Sammy Davis, Jr?"

I didn't think I'd ever heard this guy, but after ^ that description I suspected it was that weird sounding guy on that one track on Sour Soul, and so I investigated and of course it is. will probably listen to this

really excited that paul white is back producing on at least some of the new one. tbd which tracks, but i'd bet that's him on the first released tune "tantor." either way it's fantastic. can't wait for the rest.

Nice--that Paul White This Heat flip on XXX was truly inspired IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCfAqryvPX0

genius video, banger track

loving this - feels like it has more variety & space than the last couple might be down to the two distinct voices he uses & how on some of these tracks he has simplified his rhyming to i guess suit the primal grunt of the emotions he was experiencing some of that stuff reminds of scarface love ypb / jenns terrific etc but the whole thing i think is gold
