and then one/three and two/three

[kingsoby1]

will do.

new prefuse blows btw.

[ATM]

Dabrye is sick as ****.

[niobium]

rjd2 is wack 2 me

dj krush - strictly turntablized. tone of the actual music is stripped and bare hip-hop. a precursor to the trip-hop movement. kind of hard knuckle as well. could be seen as a breaks album

[DFelon204409]

Hey noonward, if you're digging Dr. Who Dat? and Jneiro Jarel, make sure you check out The Shape of Broad Minds. By the same guy (Jneiro) but I think it's his most accomplished album. I'm thinking of reviewing it for sputnik when there's a lag in new releases I want to release. It's becoming one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time actually.

Alright cool I'll check out.

[kingsoby1]

jarel is a bit too weird for me... cool concepts, but almost makes no sense.

i really dug flylo's 1983 and dabrye 2/3 in the car today... i was freestylin (poorly) to 1983 for like an hour.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

dope

1983 is the chillest groove from space ever

[ATM]

I love putting that on in the car and everyone just gets quiet and listens.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

yeah man was drivin i met these guys they were rollin so i needed them to calm down a bit surely surely the head bobs started


dank ****

[kingsoby1]

speakin of rollin. i cant sleep ugh

[sgrevs]

I've only been listening to Flying Lotus over the last few days. Best **** ever.

[andyneverstoppingmachine]

I really like Dert some of his stuff is real cool
http://www.myspace.com/dertbeats

Also, what are some albums like Donuts

[niobium]

dr. no's oxperiment
beat konducta

[kingsoby1]

the oxperiment is sick

[ATM]

Very sick. I was supposed to interview Oh No for my radio show but it never went down. I should try and contact him again.

[kingsoby1]

he really needs to team up with a solid mc... i'd love to see an oh no + blu joint

been really digging Tobacco - F*cked Up Friends lately (from 2008)... really awesome instrumental hip-hop/ trip-hop for the most part. Aesop is featured on one track, and it's probably one of the best things he's ever done.

[andyneverstoppingmachine]

oh no is sick, thanks for the recommendation

[CoOpCity]

damn wheres that Premo at? Platinum Plus, It's all real, Boom, 7 days

[ATM]

This. I justttttt listened to it maybe a day or two ago.
I second Caural as well.

Blockhead's solo stuff is kind of cool as well.
Anybody listen to it?
He has 3 solo albums. And also Fink's Fresh Produce.

Sorry for Bump

[easylee]

Why no love for Cut Chemist?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeAzkHjcZEM

because cut chemist is boring

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

hey Jordan do you dig on Dabrye a lot?
yeah dabrye led me into flylo and such

i think my fav album is still Instrmntl it really influenced my own beats with it's minimal sort of feel but that makes it focused as hell

hes right up there imo

[We_Love_Lime]

That Berimbau sample gets me every time though

[SgtPrimus]

because cut chemist is boring

Oh yea I forgot...
