My first impressions of Oxymoron aren't very good, not feeling this so far. And yes, I really want to

Damn this nikka Q can't rap for shit, I fuck with man of the year and break the bank everything else is pretty meh.

oxy a good album, but not great. has some great tracks too.

Eric P · « **Reply #1683 on:** February 21, 2014, 06:35:16 AM »

I haven't posted here in a long time.

Lakutis's album came out yesterday and it's pretty good. some of it is uh heavily influenced by other artists, but when he drops that and does his own thing it's quite good. hard and weird.

really into the new Doppelgangaz too

Was turned onto this but I ignored it because I was busy with some other stuff. it's fucking great. Right in that noise rap wheelhouse I'm into. The full mixtape has some killer shit on it.

I'm hesitant to post the Young Fathers here because it's more than just rap, but I think there's enough bleedover that my weird rap people will be into it

I also think you guys are way wrong on that Isaiah Rashad album. It captures perfectly a sense of place while also hitting that feeling of being disconnected from your surroundings. I think I've listened to that more than any other album this year

The new Lakutis is way better than I was expecting. Also still bumping Nell's Vice City, Nacho Picasso's Trances With Wolves, Kool A.D.'s Not Okay, Lord Steppington, and the E&J Album. I downloaded the Lil Herb too, can't wait to check that out. And Aston's 3:16 listening party is tonight, can't wait for that shit.

Bones's Deadboy and Bladee's Glue are albums that I also love, but are kind of guilty pleasures.

Agreed even if I think it's a bit unfocused in places. I've been seeing him live for a while so I know that some of these songs are old as hell. I just checked and I can't believe it's been 3 years since his last release. Sicksentz's beat is crazy on Black Swann though It kind of slides into that Death Grips territory (even as Lakutis kind of picks up an MC Ride flow)

still dig this.

Speaking of trap, the new Weekend Money is very good. I liked the first release but this one is much better. It's a bit more vulnerable so it steps outside the confines of the first EP's swag rap parameters. Very good production.

Siddx I would definitely love to have you on board, gonna design a logo tonight. Also I wanted to ask Eric if he'd like to join the review site. I'll cover the domain costs and server costs each month, but I would like help designing the website and with writing reviews. I plan on using the open source version of wordpress, to avoid ads and storage limits.

I'm surprised he hasn't, especially after he pushed two security guards in Portland. If someone with a rap sheet had done that they'd have tazed his ass and given him a drug charge.

Eric P · « **Reply #1699 on:** February 24, 2014, 08:36:03 PM »

You'd think people would have learned to not provoke him. But yeah I'm surprised he hasn't faced any lawsuits from that.

I'm flattered as hell but unfortunately between the radio show and photo editing for Impose I just don't have the time. I used to keep a tumblr for infrequent music and show stuff but i just couldn't keep it going.

Kendrick fucked over his homie. The sequencing ruins Oxymoron. Tried someone else's sequencing of the tracks and ended up listening to it all day. Smh. Looking forward once again to seeing him live next week.

Flockaveli 2 thooooo (Image removed from quote.)

Not hyped actually, Waka has been hanging with Steve Aoki too much and listening to bro-step like it's some sort of revolutionary thing. "I'ma show you a different Flockaveli this time. Way more turned up. Different crowds now. I'm touching different genres. This Flockaveli gon' be flexin" - WAKA

Diunx · « **Reply #1704 on:** February 26, 2014, 10:07:19 AM »

I'm glad I'm not the only one not feeling all the shit Kdot and Q do with their voices, GKMC would be a much better album if it was just Kendrick rapping, it works in some instances but most of the time is

Diunx · « **Reply #1705 on:** February 26, 2014, 10:26:19 AM »

I actually hate that evil voice shit he uses in a couple of songs in MMLP2

HiResDes · « **Reply #1707 on:** February 26, 2014, 11:05:23 AM »

The adlibs and voices are a big part of what sets Q apart from others, and Kendrick's voices have great utility in enabling him to play different characters and speak from different perspectives within the same song. It's actually pretty ingenious sometimes, especially on an epic like Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst or the incredible b-side Cartoons & Cereal. I'm feeling that review mostly, though I definitely don't wanna ever hear Collard Greens again, and I think Gangsta is pretty straight.

HiResDes · « **Reply #1708 on:** February 26, 2014, 11:26:23 AM »

Definitely not cleverly used, but I think Q thinks the more he uses them the more people will like them. It's a method that has worked for Lil B in many facets lol

i'm so mad i'm missing that tour in NYC. my GF and I come back from Alabama that next Saturday and are considering going to Connecticut that night to catch the tour there.

Beezy · « **Reply #1712 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:40:42 PM »

Mastermind is amazing. Didn't know Ross still had it in him. Any good/high quality leaks for that or Pharrell's album yet?

HiResDes · « **Reply #1713 on:** February 26, 2014, 01:59:53 PM »

MAN I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE HYPED TO LISTEN TO MASTERMIND, MIGHT WAIT FOR THAT 320 THOUGH...Also Mike Eagle on MMG is an awesome pickup.

HiResDes · « **Reply #1714 on:** February 26, 2014, 02:58:52 PM »

Follow Me Home isn't too memorable, it's super consistent, but that consistency is made up of tracks that are 6's and 7's

SiddX · « **Reply #1715 on:** February 27, 2014, 06:40:11 AM »

Damn, Ross really stepped it up and made up for that musical abortion he called GFID.

Man people were fronting so hard on War Ready. That shit is a fucking Odyssey epic banger. I might speed to it later today.

It's been a while since I've heard a song with this many gunfire samples.

Jeezy and the beat are on point, but I don't know how I feel about this hook.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1717 on:** February 27, 2014, 02:24:06 PM »

So it's good huh? I was also quite disappointed with GFID, and based on the singles I assumed Mastermind would be the same (generic trap).

Your Stalker · « **Reply #1718 on:** February 27, 2014, 03:52:57 PM »

so is the clean version the only one that's out?

SiddX · « **Reply #1719 on:** February 28, 2014, 07:55:24 AM »

Mastaminds greatest accomplishment is making me like a song with both kanye and medium Sean on it. Normally I'd rather punch myself in the dick until I pissed blood than listen to something with both those fuckshits on it, and yet that song is so fucking good.

War readys beat it superb. The hook however is one of the worst things ever put on wax. Whomever is responsible should be beaten with a sack of doorknobs.

can't wait for him to release a trap song in the coming weeks

I bet he'll release some How To Rob type track where he disses everyone. Steve Stoute, Jay, Diddy, Wayne, Ross, etc etc.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1727 on:** March 03, 2014, 04:34:27 PM »

Nice, will listen tonight. He released a very good album last year; definitely going to find a vinyl later this year when I get my audio set-up straight.

also gonna listen to Mastermind

I don't even care if you're joking, cause this record has been the only playlist I've listened to since it dropped. Only song on there I'd call filler is the one with Wayne and he doesn't even suck too hard on it.
