I cosign that look. No other new hip hop must-haves come to mind at this moment.
Joe Bataan: CALL MY NAME (for real - total latin soul/jazz/funk heat - "don't sleep")
Sharon Jones & TDK: NATURALLY (in the "play out" crate every gig - a must)
MIA: ARULAR (off the hinges)
Snoop: R&G (75% solid album, 25% kinda garbage)
Three Six Mafia: CHOICES 2 (DVD + CD) (the usual socially relevant positive uplift stuff)
Mike Jones: WHO IS MIKE JONES (+ S&C bonus CD) (guess I'm the last person here to get this)
The Bravery: s/t (if you like sellout MTV discopunk... which apparently I do)
The Blue Van: THE ART OF ROLLING (killer 70s style Faces/Zep/Purple damage)
and lots of bhangra CDs I won't list because I sense a general disinterest in that genre from ya'll
I'm curious to hear the entirety of the Amerie, Faith Evans, & Ciara albums too.
Quasimoto - Further Adventures of Lord Quas
Zion I - True and Livin
Perceptionists - (I forget the album title)
Is the Joe Bataan new stuff or a collection of old heat?
i would want the instrumental version of that Edan's album as well.. but i'm afraid there's no such thing.
yet?
and I think I'm the only on here that likes Beans, but that Shock City Maverick joint is also banging
the beats are cool, some are extremely banging, but the whole thing sounds like a teaser/album sampler kinda thing. As much as I am all for unorthodox compositions and narration, I wish some of these songs would have stuck to a more traditional format ie, go off in a brief musical tangent, but then come back to another verse, instead of the next song. Another gripe is GET EDAN THE FUCK OFF THE MIC. Dude sounds like a british guy trying to fake a Brooklyn accent. It's mad annoying, and his lyrics are wack. All the guest emcees shit on him. I would love to hear this thing with sure-shots just dropping that fire(, yo). And yeah, it's a psychey thing, but take it a little easy on that echoplex. It's cool here and there, but some of that stuff should have at least been in key with the beats.
All that said, I'm still listening to this thing. But it could have been A LOT better.
Is there an instrumental for this around anywhere?
Co-sign on the Faith. Shits fire.
me too, apparently.
i wanna know if the second track is basically a song being played straight through under him or if thats all layered and programmed? if its just a song, what the fuck is it because i am in love with it. if its layered & programmed, i think i just found a new idol. i really love the "yessss" and stuff. its definitely my favorite track.
and whats the thing after the intro but before the second track, the "love one....love all", i wanna know what that song is because it sounds incredible.
and i cant get enough echoplex. this album, instrumental would be perfection to me.
i love it.
YES...i've been sleeping on that shit, my indy rock/baristas friends have been talking about her and i finally got to hear it last week...where have i been, usually i'm the one telling them about shit like this. i guess i ignore much of the new stuff that's 100% trying to sound like the old stuff...because i can just cop the old stuff, but i can't deny how good these songs are and the production is on point too.
