Rap You're Liking

Really? I thought it was barely listenable.




He's an acquired taste... I like his lyrical skill more than the music. "Poor People's Day" was better. I'm hoping for a EL-P and Bigg Jus collabo in the future... I say again, hoping...




I'd have hoped that, in the 15 or so years of hearing his work since Funcrusher Plus, I might have acquired it by now, so I'm willing to accept that it probably isn't going to happen. His lyrics are like randomly-punctuated screeds of tinfoilhattery from the Infowars forums. Lyrical, mystical, super-scientifical, "I'macramintheabsolutemaximumnumberofsyllablespossibleoverafourbarmeasureandendeveryline LIKE THIS!" rhyming at its absolute best/worst (delete where applicable). At least El-P is attempting to figure out if there's a place where what he does fits in with what the mainstream is prepared to accommodate, and it's already producing impressive results. Jus seems happier to remain exactly where he's been for the last decade or so.

First listen and I'm, like, WHOA. Need to listen again, more closely...





I didn't know the backstory about Alori Joh (RIP) before hearing it, so The Book of Soul was devastating to hear.

This is factory fresh, on the other hand.










Yeah heard this the other day. Not 100% sold on this particular track (though that might be more due to the sensitive nature of my head right now) but I do think that Brown's voice fits to grime production beautifully.




So this guy is from [strike]America[/strike] the South, and he's rapping over grime and filmed his video in London? How does Harvey feel about this?

Like Diamond D, I've never really judged El-Producto on his raps. Great beatsmith. 8-Steps, Little Johnny From The Hospital, The Cold Vein, all visionary.

Nor did I. That line "fall off a fuckin' tower tryin' to find you" is heavy as fuck.





Album of the year for me.

i'm afraid to listen to that new show and ag. i can't think of anything they've done post the full scale ep that wasn't boring/mediocre. (i include that ag solo that people seem to like for some reason)

He's from Detroit and wears skinny jeans, so he probably barely counts as a rapper in Harv's eyes. May as well cancel his US citizenship, give him an EU passport and shove him on the first transatlantic flight out of Wayne County.

This album is just taking a massive dump on everything right now.











Also, I have to give massive props to Danny Brown not only for having the stones to pair comedy Jeremy Scott Adidas with clamdiggers, but to actually make them look good. And that Patagonia hoodie is fresh.

Two of the four Black Hippy dudes have my favourite records of the year. I'm not saying something else won't come along and blow my socks off, but right now, these two (plus Tree's Sunday School) are going to be pretty hard to top.

I missed this the other day. WOW. Just when I thought that my love for ZZ Top could grow no deeper.
