Frippertronics
09.18.17 | Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique (a classic that can never be replicated nor surpassed; see how many samples you can recognize) |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Will it be a lot of samples or none? And which of those is a good thing? |
butcherboy
09.18.17 | mos def - black on both sides.. |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Cool. |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Also a heads up. I hate overly vulgar rap. Idk if that applies to these |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Vulgar as in lewd/rapey, profanity doesn't bother me |
butcherboy
09.18.17 | mine's cool on that.. even ms fat booty is meant to be a meta-joke. mos def is a socially conscious fella.. |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | I can handle some, just not my favorite. I think that's why I gave Wu-Tang 36 chambers a 3 but that was so dang long ago |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Actually, I think that one just felt ridiculous in how hard it tried to be hard |
Trebor.
09.18.17 | Denzel Curry - Nostalgia 64 |
someguest
09.18.17 | anything before 2003, nothing after |
50iL
09.18.17 | Dude you need this, it's essential
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
Also check MM |
AlexKzillion
09.18.17 | Outkast - Aquemini... Kind of similar to To Pimp a Butterfly in the way it incorporates live instrumentation yet is not completely driven by it, some similar themes float throughout it, and Kendrick (especially 2015-present Kendrick) takes a lot from Andre 3000 imo
And don't listen to someguest lol |
Drifter
09.18.17 | "anything before 2003, nothing after"
What the fuckkkkk |
Frippertronics
09.18.17 | it's the seventh round, guys, you think they realize they're not in the game? |
AngryLittleAlchemist
09.18.17 | Kendricka Lamer - To Pimp a...and Justice for Good Kid |
AlexKzillion
09.18.17 | Oops didn't know this was some kinda tourney, my comment still stands tho |
Frippertronics
09.18.17 | yeah, i think he said he'd still take recs and set them aside so rec away |
Drifter
09.18.17 | "it's the seventh round, guys, you think they realize they're not in the game?"
There's nothing in the description that says its not open for recs or that it's part of some game. Plus like no one follows the other lists in this series |
Papa Universe
09.18.17 | Eazy-E - Eazy-Duz-It |
Frippertronics
09.18.17 | unique, still waiting on a rec from you buddy ol pal :^) |
50iL
09.18.17 | Oops didn't know this was some kinda tourney, my comment still stands tho
smae |
Papa Universe
09.18.17 | oh shit, I didn't realise 50iL isn't in. I thought he already dibbed that ATCQ album, so I rec'd something else. But oh well, I rec'd it already, might as well see, where it leads. |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | You're free to change it. |
Papa Universe
09.18.17 | Nah... |
bgillesp
09.18.17 | Okay... |
bgillesp
09.20.17 | Just starting listening and his is all I'm giving away but Fear Not of Man may be my new favorite hip hop song, so I'm excited to get through the rest of this Mos Def album |
bgillesp
09.20.17 | Let's just say I hope there are multiple 5s in this round |
butcherboy
09.20.17 | i win! |
bgillesp
09.20.17 | Very likely but I haven't heard the other two yet |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | These will be up later tonight |
Frippertronics
09.22.17 | o cool |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | Up. I'm both very pleased and utterly disappointed |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | I just typed this up directly into the list so I know the writing sucks worse than normal but oh well |
Frippertronics
09.22.17 | satisfied |
butcherboy
09.22.17 | Yes!! Glad you dug this, gill.. I'm not very knowledgable in hip hop, but this album is so good! |
Frippertronics
09.22.17 | although i feel like the eazy record sticks out like a sore thumb in comparison to the other two |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | Yeah, it's not tied or just above TPAB for me now Butch. And my girlfriend checked it when I told her about it and loves it too. He references one of my favorite books, references Star Wars, talks about Bad Brains... Pretty much perfect for me.
And yeah Fripp, it just paled in comparison. |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | Mos Def reads like true poetry, Eazy reads like a 2nd grader tried to write poetry |
Frippertronics
09.22.17 | tbqh tpab is hot garbage so congrats on checking three albums that are better than it |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | You're wrong on that but it's okay |
Frippertronics
09.22.17 | the fact it's your current favorite disqualifies you boio |
Pajolero
09.22.17 | Madvillainy should be right up your alley my guy
Also Labor Days by Aesop Rock and The Taste of Rain by Deep Puddle Dynamics |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | The fact that it's got a 4.4 or whatever avg requalifies me friend. And thanks Paj. That madvillainy and ATCQ are now at the top of the list for whenever I get back around to more hip hop! |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | I'll check the other two at some point too just probably not as quickly |
butcherboy
09.22.17 | gill, as a heads up, my next round will be hip hop themed as well.. so start researching and listening!! |
bgillesp
09.22.17 | I've got a bit of knowledge but not much so thanks for the heads up. Since its you, I'm guessing it'll be song based as well so even harder for me. |
butcherboy
09.22.17 | actually no, i'll list three new york rap albums i love, and ask for one album that has similar sounds and themes.. |
butcherboy
09.22.17 | i'm not too knowledgeable in hip hop, so there's plenty of room to work with.. |
Papa Universe
09.26.17 | Lemme Vanga you this: that next round of butcher's will have A Tribe Called Quest featured as an exemplary record. Aye? |
