I deleted like half of the tracks off Ab's latest album and now I really enjoy it. Man, tracks 3-7 really drag that album down imo, works so much better without them.

Duro posted:Really like the new Ab-Soul album. "Just Have Fun" is the standout track for me, but I would have loved a version without the stupid skit and outro. Other than that, he mentions Montreal in "Feelin' Us" which is pretty awesome. yeah, just have fun is probs the standout track on These Days... to me too. It feels really fresh and more like the sort of thing only he really makes well, to me at least. Like, the sound of it.

a friend is trying to get me to listen to Pro Era and its members, she reckons they are really good. Never really listened to them enough to know. I know I like Steez but only listened to some of his stuff after the fact, so I don't know any of the poo poo he was also on. What do you guys think was the best thing Pro Era put out so I can give it a listen and finally do as my friend asks and give them a chance? I got her to listen to the Underachievers and Flatbush Zombies after a little pressure, so I feel it is only right to listen to stuff she reckons I would like. She says they are similar. don't ever hear any of them mentioned in here, so I never figured them worth a look before really. listening to The Shift now regardless and it is alright, nothing too special tho

Quantum of Phallus posted:Really liking this Mick Jenkins album, have to say. Also that SBTRKT/Ferg track is great. Love it when you get prolific electronic producers teaming with rappers. Not really a rapper, more R&B, but Kavinsky did a collab with the Weeknd which was pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSW2zeM3yLU Not sure if it is better than the original version of Odd Look, but it is pretty good imo

Flatbush have been on a roll lately (wish they'd release a collection mixtape of all the singles they put out over the last few months) can't quote this hard enough, everything Flatbush touch is hot as hell and this track is a total chiller imo. everything about it is so good. beat, mood, lyrics. how can there be so much mic talent on one track? anyone got a list or an idea of all of the singles they put out recently? i'm gonna start collecting them together e; also, thought I heard that beat before - Zombies already used it on their EP earlier this year Another Person fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Sep 18, 2014 |

There you go. Probs best he got a thread of his own anyway, he has a massive electronic crossover which includes some people who don't really post or read in here, and people might want to chat about his label or similar sounds in a more electronic style than hip-hop.

I think this is a really hot track, but it would have been better if it came out two months ago. It is a summerjam, mad cowbell.

I really like that Kdot track (still think it came out too late to have the impact it should have had) but Vice is garbage journalism imo the piece is very literal and basically lifts exactly what the lyrics state

not siding with spoils here because spoils spiel was p. dumb, but nobody else seems to be making a stand on this. It is just like five dudes including me saying we like it, then a bunch of people making GBS threads on it. Gotta agree, it ain't really rap, and it ain't really what I expected from Kendrick, but it was alright. It was a pop song. Afterall, it is not like Kendrick is working on some system where this song came out at the cost of another so at the end of the day we just got some song that some guys like and some don't, so let's all agree to just have fun (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DY1ALFrVJU)

alansmithee posted:(also that ab-soul song sucks too ya killing me man! That is a good track imo, one of the few keepers from These Days But yeah, I get what you mean with 'not so much him going pop', but if that came from any other no-name artist, it would be labelled as pop. Because it is coming from Kendrick, who has a history of rap, we go into there expecting rap and label it as such regardless. It is actually less rap feeling than some stuff the Weeknd puts out.

Robert Analog posted:Did anyone like These Days aside from me? To me there are only like 3 definite skips and that's a pretty good ratio of garbage to listenable songs. I liked it. I thought there was a lot of skippable stuff tho. It was more disappointment by comparison to Control System that killed it for me, but that is not a fair comparison. Hunnid Stax up to Twact was entirely skippable by me. I just don't like those tracks.

HoneyBoy posted:It's like 3 hours long so there's a whole lot of good ones. I think there is more than 3 hours of Special Herbs sets, I have quite a few of them and they are all like 20 tracks. I think it comes to like 7 or so hours of beats. And every one of them is amazing. DOOM is a god who deserves way more attention. e; RZA used one of his beats called Sasparilla to make You Can't Stop Me Now. I spent like a day wondering where the gently caress I had heard it before realising what it was. Also, I noticed that DOOM never gets any credit for these beats anywhere in the production or anything like that. So, are these guys just stealing his beats wholesale or are they paying dues somewhere else cause it sounds like they are getting famous off someone elses works. For example, Soul doesn't seem to credit him anywhere. Another Person fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Oct 12, 2014 |

alansmithee posted:Also in the old thread I made a giant Doom post about where to start with his stuff and w/e if anyone wants to go looking. I may do another if people want that cause the old thread's probably archives now. Yeah, I remember that because I asked for it. And yeah, Burdock Root and Book of Soul are almost exactly identical. I would be mega pissed if I heard some guy made something so close to something I already did without at least dropping an influence mention. e: alansmithee posted:For production work, I'd go with King Geedorah and MF Grimm-Downfall of Ibllys. He's rapping on some of the stuff on there (and I Hear Voices pt. 1 on the Grimm album is actually just a Doom track from one of the singles for Op: Doomsday) but it's mostly other dudes rapping. Geedorah also has the track I mentioned before with that Trunks dude, so you may wanna try tracking down the EP he did. Another Person fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Oct 12, 2014 |

Cubey posted:Good, hopefully that means Danny's next album won't be a giant letdown like Old was. Old is probs one of my favourite albums in rap, so I disagree, just listen to Float On and tell me that is not the most mortal thing you have ever heard coming from the immortal king of pills that is Danny Brown. It is such a shockingly stark, yet perfect ending to an album, probably my fave closer ever.

alansmithee posted:I think an album can still be great and a letdown, if your expectations are just higher than what was actually released. Oh yeah, I wasn't saying the dudes opinion was wrong. I was just stating my opinion. Didn't really give much of an argument for why tho, hah. I like how weird it all is. A lot of it feels really tense, depressing and anxious. Tracks like Torture, Lonely, and Float On are just really sad feeling. I like sad guy rap a lot when it actually goes into a proper topic and handles it well. Danny does an amazing job of that imo. Then you get stuff like Break It (Go) which is just a solid banger. Love that track.I really like how it is loaded with the EDM beats towards the back, then Float On after it. I think of it as the thoughts of Danny through the day, like dealing with his issues of his life, past and emotions, and then you get to the ravey parts and it is like the heights of one of his shows. poo poo is going wild, all over the place and it picks up. Then the show ends, Float On hits, and it is like him thinking "I can't do this forever, man. How did I even get here form where I was? Where am I going next?" It is like an existential crisis of what he is supposed to be, and he just kinda hides away from it all with drugs. I really didn't like the structure of it when I first heard it, even though I liked the tracks. Then that sorta hit me how it was put together, and watching all his issues with poo poo like lean last year really put it all into perspective. Think I've listened to Old a few hundred times since it came out now. I've come around to think it was poorly structured to extremely well structured. But that is just my weird conjecture poo poo doing it for me. I can definitely get how people would be disappointed if they were expecting something bigger, or something closer to XXX. Never been able to really give The Hybrid the chance it deserves, I always put it on and then think "Man, I wanna listen to Old so much now". I came in after a short while after XXX and never knew the Hybrid existed for a while, so I've kinda missed it. I just spent the whole time listening to XXX over and over because that album is also a killer. What are the best tracks on it so I can give them a shot and then maybe listen to it all after I realise there are things to look forward to? Maybe crush my desire to switch right over to Old again.
