I think I first heard this song in this thread it's pretty great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nGqciWlSVw and some of my other favourite harry fraud beats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRBqywdG1lA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YXi64XJZTQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF6SQZa3nSk Pretty much all of the beats on adrift are amazing IMO but the same can't be said for all the verses. Still definitely get it if you like the currensy/dza tape.

EATIN SHRIMP posted:Flume's new album is actually streaming on p4k right now http://pitchfork.com/advance/282-flume/ Lesson to take from this mixtape - do not start with the showstopper. Gibbs was good, but it was not fresh material from Flume, so I rate it less. That first track was fire. The rest doesn't come close. Coloured my perception of the mixtape - "this doesn't compare to the first track, mixtape drops off after no. 1" when it should have been "wow, this tape got better and better, first Gibbs then this."

It sounds so much like UK Funky i guess I had assumed thats what it flowed out of, maybe with some grime thrown in. But coming from Chicago bass house actually makes more sense. I guess both UK Funky and Juke come from bassline house genres.

If you haven't gotten them all yet, drat near any of his mix tapes is worthwhile, though I find the more recent the better, even if it's mostly in terms of the production. Str8 Killa No Filla is my personal favourite though, wish he would do another Slangin' Rocks. Can't say I liked Still Livin' 2 that much though, maybe it's just the comparison to the original, but it was kinda boring really. If I just got The Infamous and liked it, and have never really listened to any pre 2004 rap, what is a good album to go from there (Up North Trip is so good)?

Can't remember many people talking about the new Cage album. I'm 3 songs in, and so far really liking it a ton. I wanted to put this here to see just how much my opinion ends up changing (or if it does...) but I can at least wholeheartedly recommend the first 3 tracks. edit-11 tracks in, and initial impression is it's going in my top 5 or whatever albums of the year. it's less drug-addled angst and more burnout bitter misanthropy. reminds me somewhat of i'll sleep when your dead or skelethon, at least in tone. edit2-finished the album, on my second listen. Really good, really dark. Production is top-notch and really helps set the tone of the album. I think this was the type of stuff Earl was trying to do with Doris and failed at, or the type of album Eminem should be making (instead of trying to recreate 2000). I don't know if Cage has the pop sensibilities that Em has/had, but he's almost certainly a better rapper. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Nov 5, 2013 |

I don't really have time to compile a list of albums but definitely check out Hell on Earth by Mobb Deep. I'd put it right up there with The Infamous. But seriously there's so so so so much good poo poo from before 2004 I don't even know where to begin.

I quite like his bare, barren approach. Not a lot going on, but still a lot to it. Interesting... 40 lbs to freedom posted:i havent read this outkast thing yet so i cant comment on it specifically but if places like pitchfork and grantland would stop writing about rap things that would be super awesome ... then I google Lucki Eck$ and the only real information that exists on him is crappy online reporting on him from the likes of p4k. Could not agree with you more, 40lbs. When one of the first results for an artist is a half assed stub article on an artist from Ian Cohen that exists just for the sake of padding with no real substance to it then you know you have problem.

I can't really tell why that Outkast article exists. It doesn't really have anything novel to say if you know anything about Outkast and it takes a ton of words to let us know that they made good rap music

thathonkey posted:Pitchfork actually has a pretty good long-form piece on Outkast running today. Nah, this is really a bummer. This are no real insights and barely anything you couldn't get by reading their Wikipedia page. Some boilerplate poo poo right here. It sucks because I love the group and I think they are incredibly important and deserve better. Pitchfork has hired Noz and Craig Jenkins in the past, so it isn't like they don't have any decent rap writers on staff.

I dunno i thought there were a few interesting observations (eg the comparison of Stankonia to White Album) but on second glance it is pretty cookie cutter stuff by and large. Does anyone have some better/notable writing on kast?

Oh, apparently Noz did write some of this. But so did Ian Cohen. I guess that explains why the Stankonia part is the easily the best section and the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below section is overwrought. Noz sums up why OutKast were so great and so successful: "This is all part of the reason OutKast were able to sustain their credibility even as they got weirder and went pop at the same drat time—they never consciously presented their work as "the other." It was always "we do what you do, but we do it differently." Even in their strangest moments, they never positioned themselves above the trap, just perpendicular to it." So yeah, the Stankonia section is good and the rest of the article is basically a rewritten Wikipedia page. Besson fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Nov 6, 2013 |

The people writing that Kast article are hipsters that ignore all the non-gangsta stuff to make Kast seem like special snowflakes. Kast just had good production that was different at the time. There was a lot of stuff in the late 80s and early 90s that you could call weird now but we called it corny. After KRS-ONE kicked PM Dawn's rear end literally off the stage, you saw those groups make a hard right turn into authentic hiphop. That's when Tribe and De la took off the hippy stuff and TLC took the condoms out their eyes. That's when keeping it real started. Outkast was like a delayed reaction to the stuff done earlier by groups like Tribe, De la, Digable Planets, and more. But Kast got better over time and I don't think they got weirder, they stayed ahead of the curve. Dart Adams, a fine journalist in his own rite, did better job than anyone describing how hiphop evolved from the late 80s to the 90s here http://bastardswordsman.tumblr.com/post/36971848850/how-toure-failed-hip-hop-and-america-deluxe-edition. Outkast were like a post boom-bap version of stuff that had come before. But the 90s was so explosive, trends were changing every year. There was no dead time, no French time, no Dedication 5 time. temple fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Nov 6, 2013 |

A neat little oral history of the making of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Doesn't feature any band members, but it is kind of cool to hear the people behind the scenes demythologise the whole recording process. A lot of insight into who those guys were and the dynamics of the group. They were really special, and while I have a lot of love for their solo records, I miss having verse after verse of guys who were clearly on the same page and loving every minute of it. quote:I remember watching Genius wreck everyone at chess, and losing to him and RZA a few times myself, and playing cee-lo for dollar bills in the lounge. Cabs wouldn’t stop for RZA back then, so when we left for the night, I would go to Seventh Avenue to hail a cab for him back to Staten Island. The driver's reaction to the switch was usually priceless.

Also, despite throwing in some random name drops like Del and others, that article pretty much ignores anything that wasn't happening in NY. Acting like anyone gave a gently caress about krs1 outside of a few blocks in NY in the 90's is revisionist bullshit from a bunch of dudes trying to make themselves sound way more important than they really were.

That new Bronson mixtape is crazy good. Party Supplies killed almost every song. He always flips the best samples of stuff you would never think of. Anyone seen Deltron 3030 on tour right now?

I think that was true at one point but I enjoyed this tour a lot. I mostly went because of nostalgia for 3030 from like a decade ago and it was all pretty good. The band is tight and Del sounded just fine.
