I also had a sordid history of downloading music illegally at that point, but the first rap album I ever bought was King Fantastic's Finger Snaps and Gun Claps back in 2010

If someone wasn't downloading music back then I'd call them crazy. It used to be so easy.

D34THROW posted:This brings up something I've noticed in contemporary rap music. It seems like rappers these days are trying to sing as much as they talk. I think that's what I like about early '90s poo poo is that they're more talking than singing. Is it just me? Nah, it's largely true. For a long time there was a big tension between rap and rnb/pop. Eventually through the late 90's and into the 2000's you started getting a lot more of a blend of the two. Now you see them really blended, especially because that's what's traditionally sold better. That said there's definitely still dudes who operate in a rappity-rap only mode still. Qualitatively which is better is a whole different subject, but I'd say that there's great examples of both styles. Also are you planning on going through any other older rap stuff? I'm always interested how people who haven't been exposed to it previously would feel about it, without that background of having listened to it and possible nostalgia coloring things. Like my first album I can recall getting was a compilation tape called "fresh rap" that had EPMD, Slick Rick, NWA, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and a few others I don't remember. So basically I grew up listening to late 80's/early 90's stuff and that's been my primary listening since then. And I guess I was at home, but the first place I actually brought stuff myself vs. having them given to me or sharing with friends was a corner store that sold bootlegs 3 for $10. alansmithee fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Feb 18, 2020 |

Actually looked up a few dates. Another Slim Shady LP checking in, then a kid in my class burned me 2001, followed by and then there was X. But honestly I would give full credit to Sir Lucious Left Foot for opening my eyes and beginning my education.

So what's your most listened to rap album ever? For me Snoops debute album Doggystyle, I listened to that album for months after months on a daily base as a sweaty teenager. Wu's 36 Chambers is a good but pretty far behind second.

I think the first rap album I properly owned was The Blueprint which was given to me by an 8th grade sort-of-but-not-really girlfriend, but the first full album I remember listening was my brother's copy of All Eyez on Me. Most listened to is probably 2001, Get Rich or Die Trying, Eminem Show, or that one mixtape I made with all the Bone Thugs tracks with gunshots in the beat. Or for the last decade-ish, MBDTF or POS's Never Better. SchwarzeKrieg fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Feb 18, 2020 |

Man seeing people mention Illadelph Halflife and Things Fall Apart makes me disappointed how hard The Roots quality dropped. I still think Questlove thought (or knew) they peaked with their old sound on Things Fall Apart and switched up entirely for Phrenology. Tipping Point and Game Theory probably have Black Thought's best rapping (and was around the time he was getting a lot more notice) but are also really kinda indistinguishable and Rising Down was kinda just Game Theory 2.0 (although qualitatively it was more like 0.8). And everything after that was full on adult contemporary. There was something just intensely soulful about their early stuff that they really seemed to lose touch with.

I think undun is among their very best and How I Got Over is solid, while some of their early material is really boring to me. ATYSYC was more experimental but didn’t work at all.

Cross-post from the Goon Music Thread. I put out two new tracks recently and wanted to share them here because some people enjoyed my other stuff. Came across an old track that my rapper friend and I had worked on nearly a year ago and decided it deserved to be released even though we never "finished" it. Some of you may recognize the sample I used. Interestingly, I did a sample flip challenge this last week and the sample that got selected was the same one I used for this track "Criminology". Had to get creative to try and flip it again but I think it turned out really cool and definitely different than Criminology. Let me know what you think! Criminology ft. KingOsiris https://soundcloud.com/bradwisebeats/criminology-ft-kingosiris One More Time (Sample Flip Challenge) https://soundcloud.com/bradwisebeats/one-more-time
