Old Town Road to EGOT

I can't loving wait for this era of rap albums being like 30 tracks/an hour and a half long just so they can maximize their number of streaming plays to profit as much as possible to be over

I’ll give Rae Sremmurd a bit more trust. I hosed w SremmLife 2 and I mean, each section being 9 tracks could mean tight quality control, and a few different listening experiences. It could also be a bunch of similar poo poo w a ton of filler. I choose to remain optimistic.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

black beatle was an incredible track but i haven't given a single gently caress about anything else i've heard them on. i haven't exactly given them much time but i've never felt compelled to.

My favorite Doom album is probably Mm..Food. It’s just loaded with creative bars and excellent beats. If you want something that is on the darker side like Born Like This, id check out Vaudeville Villain.

You may wanna check out some of the Atoms Family dudes (specifically Can Ox's first album, and Cryptic One). Lupe obviously. Open Mike Eagle for a dude making more recent music. Mos Def would fit. Some of Homeboy Sandman's stuff you'd also probably dig, but he can be really hit or miss I've found. If you want a bit more "positive" feel with jazzier backing Insight's always good. One Be Lo and Sage Francis as well. All of those I think I would consider "deliberate" without resorting to a bunch of lyrical-miracle gymnastics (although obviously Lupe can veer in that territory but still, dude's great).

That's a few I could recommend.

Ehh, Vaudeville Villain isn't anything I'd consider dark at all. It's dang near a comic book. If you want a dark album like Born Like This that Doom worked on it would be Black Bastards by KMD or MF Grimm's Downfall of Iblyiss (or even Operation Doomsday). Also as an aside, hearing Mr. Hood and then Black Bastards is like night and day. Also as an aside I recently picked up the Black Bastards popup book cd/7" combo to add to my collection of goofy Doom stuff.

And as another aside, glad to hear people appreciating Born Like This. I remember when it came out it was kinda dismissed. Tbh it kinda has a mixtape feel for Doom fans because most of the beats were so old (the stuff from Donuts or still using Special Herbs beats) but I'd say his writing is arguably at it's peak there. Thinking on it Born Like This compares to Op Doomsday the same way Tetsuo & Youth compares to Food and Liquor-both of the albums you can hear a lot more age and some of the youthful energy is gone, but there's a crispness that's there the earlier albums may lack.

Hmm, maybe I need to go back and listen to VV, but I remember thinking that aesthetically it felt closer to Born Like This than the other solo projects of his that I have checked out. I felt like the production on Operation Doomsday is a little more upbeat (tracks like Doomsday, Rhymes Like Dimes, Red and Gold), where VV seemed a bit darker. I'm sure I haven't listened to the albums as much as you, but I saw more similarities between Op. Doomsday and Mm...Food and then between VaudeVillain and Born Like This. Now I want to go back and listen to all of them and see if my initial feelings were way off.

born like this is okay if you haven't listened to Doom in a while.
but at the time, going from mmm food to born like this was a disappointment. which is funny because mmm food was a drop off compared to madvillainy

I try not to compare Madvillainy to Doom's solo projects for this very reason. It's hard to make a fair comparison when one has Madlib and the other doesn't.
