    Solid overall. Always keeping an ear open for Ampichino.

    Cool, thanks. No youtube access at work, will DL the tape this weekend.

    I never was able to get into the Kevin Gates, either.....

    These two tapes still get heavy rotation:

    Yea, the Sean Price is good. Some just-OK beats, but he comes correct.

    Yeah, there's nothing especially new about that Roc Marciano record, but it does that whole NY thug introspection c. '93 vibe better than I've heard it done for a very long time. The 10cc flip on 76 works really well.

  • Joey Bada$$ is probably in a similar vein, I'm enjoying 1999 right now.

    I had big hopes for it off Hardknock, but the whole tape is kinda snoozey.

    But, his new track with Ab Soul, Enter the Void, is hot. That is some Rap I Am Liking!

    Love the beat, creates a great vibe, but think I'd need to be really drunk and/or high to engage with the lyrics. Is this the intended effect? Sort of live, of-the-cuff unplanned tomfoolery in the studio?
    Maybe I need to squeegy that 3rd I.

    It has had some rewinds though, so thanks.

    Hmmm - I think the way the lyrics are emphasized by lack of HARD HITTING drums and kicks is kind of his angle / sound. Its more than throwback to me. Qtip exec produced the record I believe.

    And check this out:



    DJ Sheep production - pretty dope. In a recent interview with some fucking dweeb over on the-breaks Roc mentioned he received every library record ever produced from Sheep (digitally). A bold claim to be sure.

    Yeah, that attempt at finding a fresh approach is what I like about it. He doesn't just do a revival kind of thing like so many others, although it reminds me, loosely speaking, of records like Cuban Links or The Infamous in terms of its atmosphere rather than anything more specific. I think it definitely belongs in that tradition, but not for the usual, obvious reasons. I tend to like it when a rap record goes for some kind of clear unifying thread, whether sonically or thematically, and it took a few listens to figure out where his beats ended and the ones from other producers began. It's a really strong, coherent album.

    I guess even most germans won't like because of their bavarian dialect. Anyway, I think it's brilliant.
