seriously though the gucci mane throwaway frankentapes have better mix and master jobs than a lot of this bs future and thug are putting out this year. i know it's a free tape but ffs they need to stop skimping on the sound engineering dept so drat much. maybe sell off some of that actavis stock to cover the costs...

Is there a good book that talks about the genesis and rise of hip-hop? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to pre-90s rap and want to know more.

Once you get past the pre-90s era, Jay-Z's book "Decoded" is mostly about him obviously but there is lots of interesting stuff about the rise of the New York/East Coast rap scene in the mid 90s (which imo is when rap started to really come into its own as a genre and has so far been the most interesting era of rap music - not New York specifically, just the 90s).

Mastering seems fine on I'm up? Future's definitely released a ton of really shittily mastered stuff, but thug hasn't other than leaks.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Holy poo poo.


Gates sold 112k, and almost outsold Adele.


How the gently caress did he do that with no top singles jesus.

From what I've always understood, Gates is actually super-big in the south. Almost pre-lockup Boosie levels of support. I also think his singles got a decent amount of play, even if no individual one was a super hit.

One of the cool things about Kevin Gates is his raps are very good in a backpacker kinda way (he uses 'big' words and consistently rhymes different words instead of forcing words to rhyme) but it never comes off as try-hard. I love thug but you can tell he doesn't sit down and refine his raps much and it shows sometimes, so I think Islah is easily better than I'm Up.

Guccis sound team are absolute legends and the fact they can throw together so many cohesive tapes while the guy sits in jail is a testament to their skills.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
You guys weren't wrong about I'm Up needing a proper mastering. Man, the album (sans Hercules) sounds flat.

I'm up is mastered really well. You may be thinking of all recent Future releases instead. :confused:
