Das Racist was dope for the most part. Heard their live shows were a mess though and Heems was pretty bullshit at freestyling Don't think anyone will be mourning them too heavily Is no one else feeling Objectum Sexuality? Production bangs and the album is a good mix of styles between stuff like that and more traditional rap production like Gossip, In The A, Thom Pettie. Really liking it.

Das Racist sucked.ashgromnies posted:Is no one else feeling Objectum Sexuality? Yeah the production on Objectum Sexuality is in fact banging. All of the Phantogram songs turned out surprisingly well. I also like Thickets, Apple of My Eye, all the songs I already mentioned, really the whole album is pretty stacked. Except for the Kid Cudi song. I hate Kid Cudi.

I liked them a lot, but they really weren't real artists. No need for such coverage.

I like(d) Das Racist. They are sarcastic and critical. The best reason to be sarcastic. I'm not surprised at their arrogance because they seem to be well read and have a cultural chip on their shoulder. I appreciate it because it is arrogant to stuff I don't like, instead of the other way around.

Their lyrics were always kinda...sloppy to me but I liked Kool AD's solo album best anyways so w/e. Their production was always solid though and it would've been nice to see what their "final" album would've sounded like. I will say though that I think they were maybe a bit too "self-aware" and that probably hurt whatever messages they were trying to put out but w/e.

thathonkey posted:Das Racist sucked. Objectum Sexuality and CPU are both awesome. I'm also really feeling Shoes for Running; I think the indie vibe actually works perfectly with the song. And I don't mind the Cudi feature and I too can't stand Cudi. I stand by my original comment, this could actually be AOTY for me just because of how sonically vibrant/ambitious it is. Edit: Also, the Indie elements on the production of this album makes it remind me of the production on Uzi Does It by Get Busy Committee a bit. Obviously this is a very surface level comparison so make of it what you will. Professor Funk fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Dec 4, 2012 |

It is a toss up between Vicious Lies and Good Kid for rap AOTY... I think I am leaning towards Vicious though right now (probably because it is freshest in my mind). The sound is more unique and I got to hand it to Big Boi for making a fusion-style album that really works on almost every level. Big Boi's verses, as somebody said earlier, are often the underwhelming parts but there are still a lot of fire ones. (2nd verse on Objectum is one of the best things Big Boi has done in a long time though.) "So Shazam me, and then you'll Google Dungeon Family" "Rub my stick on your chick like a violin" thathonkey fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Dec 4, 2012 |

I appreciate it because it is arrogant to stuff I don't like, instead of the other way around. This is a really great description of why I had a soft spot for them. While their rapping could vary from being sweet to super lazy, they also had the right attitude and an interesting variety of sounds going on. Also: another song with Danny Brown who loving kills it. Ignore Kool AD's first verse if you aren't into it, but the song from Danny Brown onwards is pretty great. Also, Despot manages to not gently caress it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jp5W7ljVJ0

Game x Master P http://www.djpremierblog.com/2012/12/04/the-game-hvn4agngsta-feat-master-p-official-version-with-scratches-cdq/ Game x Big Sean x Weezy x Jeremih x Fabolous http://rapradar.com/2012/12/04/new-music-game-ft-big-sean-lil-wayne-jeremih-fabolous-all-that-lady/ Jesus Piece doesn't sound completely terrible so far, which is a better appraisal than I was expecting to give it.

Shoes for Running is loving amazing. I'm surprised at how well Big Boi works with "non-traditional" artists. I was worried about all the Phantogram and Wavves, but those tracks are the best. I know he is a fan of a lot of different types of music and his eclectic knowledge shows.

The Big Boi album is...something. I think the biggest problem I have with it is that it sounds almost like Big Boi is the feature on all of the songs, like he just seems to get lost in most of them, or is totally out of place. I think some people have already commented on this but I think this would've been an amazing Outkast album. As it is, there's like 10 albums this year I'd say were better personally, mainly because I can't give someone credit for having the best album when (as a couple other people have also said) they're arguably the worst part of their own album. I give him credit for trying something ambitious (or credit to whoever actually conceived of the album) but he just doesn't hold up with all the things that are going on.

I think this is a totally fair complaint, but I might also say that it's pretty clear that Big Boi did not want to make a traditional rap album and that evaluating it as such might be partially missing the point. To give some credence to your point though, I might like GKMC more than this based on cohesiveness alone, so the fact that VLDR is sort of scatter brained is definitely something I've thought about.

There are a lot of gaps in the music where it feels like there should be a Big Boi verse but there is not. I can't even think of any non-rap poo poo from this year I listened to besides like the Godspeed album. As for rap, I'd say the three TDE releases were better, Aesop, 10 Day mixtape, Killer Mike, and Ugly Mane. That's 7 right there. There may be a couple others, but I think it's been a real strong year in rap.
