I'm getting paid to write about the Run the Jewels show on Saturday night. gently caress yes. Well, really it's just covering my ticket because I didn't get this gig until earlier this week, so no press pass. But it's gonna be awesome. Trying to swing Danny Brown on December 12 too.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Are you just reviewing the show or are you gonna interview El-P and Mike? Just reviewing the show. I'm not sure if the site does interviews but I'll ask for future reference. At the risk of making myself easily doxxable for the sake of getting more readers, I got a freelance gig writing for Ruby Hornet, which used to be a Chicago hip-hop blog but is now a general culture website. Some of my stuff may also wind up on Chicago Music, which is part of the same company. You'll be more likely to see me writing about rock and metal, but I was going to RTJ anyway and it looks like Danny Brown will be doable too.

Business Octopus posted:I wonder how much twitter SJWs would have flipped their poo poo if they were transplanted to '99 when My Name Is was blowing up the airwaves. Salon and Jezebel's servers would probably set on fire with all of the holier than though clickbait articles being produced. Eminem's transformation from nightmare of conservative parents to bane of young leftists is kind of funny considering his lyrical themes changed very little.

The Doomtree thread is dead, so if anybody's interested, they have a new album coming out 1/27. Singles: https://www.soundcloud.com/doomtree/38airweight https://www.soundcloud.com/doomtree/grayduck/ Hopefully this means a tour soon. I would love to see them.

Top 5 for hip-hop: RTJ2 Open Mike Eagle - Dark Comedy Busdriver - Perfect Hair Hail Mary Mallon - Bestiary Sadistik - Ultraviolet Good lord that is such a giant sign flashing *WHITE TWENTYSOMETHING*. Not a very good year. Number two would actually be Flying Lotus' album if it counts.

What should I expect from the latter, having never listened to him. Also there was a bunch of good music that wasn't rap in 2014. My favorite hip-hop album of the year is like number 6 overall.

Just got back from Danny Brown in Chicago, which was insane. Lucki Eck$ was kind of boring and didn't even play half an hour. For some reason an ambient artist opened.

In case anyone is wondering what Danny Brown is playing these days should he go on tour soon (I think this was a one-off show for Red Bull Sound Select), here's a slightly out-of-order setlist from last night that might be missing a song or two: Break It (Go) Smokin' and Drinkin' Express Yourself Attak Handstand Lie4 I Will Side B (Dope Song) Monopoly Kush Coma Weightin' On (Lucki Eck$ track. Obviously you'd only see this if he brings him on tour.) 25 Bucks Dip Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Dec 13, 2014 |

Pops Ghostly posted:Pac was not soft. Standing on the corner dealing drugs and robbing people does not make you hard. Pac shot two white police officers, because he saw them assaulting a black man. That's the hardest and realest thing a rapper has ever done. You have very warped views about black men and masculinity, and you are the poison in the hip hop community. These rappers are trying to cater to people like you, who only want black men as savage thugs or effeminate non threatening jesters. I wish 90% of rap fans would find another culture to scavenge so we could get back to the basics, and separate the true artists who make music because of love for the culture, and the sellouts who are making music pop/edm/trap hybrids for lames like you. gently caress Young Thug#Pray4MaxWavyLife Isn't alansmithee black?

Because they're one of only like 2 or 3 acts I actually want to see out of that whole lineup. No. Just catch them on the RTJ3 tour.

Hip-hop is probably the most hit-or-miss genre there is when it comes to live performance. A good venue is more important for it than for anything else I can think of, because if you can't understand anything coming out of the mic it's just a waste of time.

I think alansmithee mentioned it somewhere but B4.DA.$$ is surprisingly enjoyable throughout. The production is obviously old-school but it's varied enough to avoid boom bap monotony and Joey himself tries a bunch of different approaches on the mic. Summer Knights was kind of boring but this is just really solid stuff. "No. 99" in particular is great.

alansmithee posted:Ehh, i'd start with his first two albums. His new one is really good, but imo it's really dense. You gotta pay a lot of attention to it to get the "full value" or w/e. F&L and The Cool have a much more mellow, bouncy vibe and you can just listen a lot more (although the lyrics still sneak up on you). I like dense hip-hop and rappity rappers so I'm definitely open to starting with that even if it's not what I should expect from the rest of his discography.
