i really enjoyed Oneirology the first couple of spins. i recently threw this on, and its kinda not doing it for me anymore. it doesnt have that lasting appeal. more of a hit it, and quit it album. i would also put shabazz palaces last one in the same zone.

the buffy sainte-marie sample still kills.

It's still quality to me and has been since day 1. Every time I think I'm tired of it, I go back to it a few weeks later, and the next thing I know I hit "Embers" and think "Nope, it's still greatness."

It's not a daytime album is all. I only throw it on post-midnight.

im not saying its not quality. its a good record. its just become a chore to listen to. its overproduced in my eyes. it feels forced. the studio trickery doesnt feel natural. El-P went the same way for a bit. sometimes more isnt always best.

Overproduced? Hmmm, idk. It just sounds like an evolution of where Kno started going with A Piece of Strange to me. A bit more layered, maybe, but it's more "airy" and dreamlike which keeps it out of what I'd call overproduced.

But I also really like the recent El-P solo and Killer Mike collab stuff, so maybe we're just on different sides of this. unless you're takling about pre-Cancer 4 Cure and RAP Music El-P

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Agreed.

I mean, that scene a the end

Spoiler

Jason fucking Statham

I was like "Oh Shit!!!" nearly jumping out of my seat. Never get those moments in a movie.

Have you heard Oneirology? Good companion album to Death Is Silent. Or maybe not, idk, just listen to it.

Nope, copping now though. Thanks!

The best companion album to Death is Silent is Niggas With Latitude

by overproduced, i mean there's too much gear involved here. its slick, it has a sugary sheen. its a producer with too much time and gear involved. its produced with a pop mentality. filters everywhere.

Id agree actually

Ashamed to say I forgot NWL. 36, get that too.

Then get A Piece of Strange if you enjoy everything.

Aha, now I get where you're coming from. I hear that, it just doesn't bother me. Actually on "Dreams" it bothers me a little bit, but that track is late in the album anyway so w/e.

1/3 way through Oneirology. This is dope

 

[thabiz]

not going to lie. hype is out of control for the Last of Us.

not going to lie. hype is out of control for the Last of Us.

this is a perfect example of a game ive slept on, like purposely done a media blackout for a while now - it's survival horror by the UC2 team? i don't really need to know much past that, sounds like the kinda game i wanna go in with as little knowledge/expectations as possible you know?

Never was able to get into this album. Maybe my expectations were thrown off because of the name, but that is a lame album. Only word I can think of that fits it. NWL I mean

i watched one trailer. i think it was 2012 E3 trailer. knew instantly that this is a game i want. super pumped. it is survival horror by the UC2 team.

Just so you guys don't go in expecting the wrong thing, it's "survival-action" not survival horror. There are horror elements, but this isn't classic RE or Silent Hill from "the UC2 team."

wat. NWL is so good, Sheisty Khrist kills verse after verse on there. The hook on Rip The Guts is the only thing I've ever had a problem with.

It's The Road: The Game. the mutated dudes look pretty damn creepy. the vibe and setting look incredible.

Honey Cocaine ruined Hip-Hop for me this week. Going on a cleanse right now.

Don't think you are understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying the name threw me off on what type of album it would be. I expected early Ice Cube/NWA stuff. Instead I was given rhymes about TMNT, Harry Potter, etc etc. Just came off lame to me. I'm sure I might enjoy it more since I know what type of album it is, but that's just for the longest what I thought about it. Thought it was going to be like their take on gangster music or something(That's what I RECALL hearing). To me it didn't feel like that at all so it failed in that aspect

 

[Discotheque]

Goddamn Im addicted to the fast furious 6 theme.

It sounds like something that would come out 10 years ago, it needs an em verse and Nate dogg on the hook.

2 chainz does pretty well on this. Definitely feels like an early 00s track

 

[Cudder]

Yeah definitely copping The Last of Us when it comes out. Don't the reviews come out in 30 mins or so? Gaming side is gonna be fun lol.

lol it's not like they spent entire songs on TMNT or Harry Potter though, but I can see why it would throw you off if you were expecting an NWA tribute album or something in that lane. Maybe give it another shot one day. It's not even 40 minutes long, you won't spend much time even if you still don't like it.

 

[Esch]

death is silent is super overrated here, beats and concept are straight but listening to kno struggle through verses makes me a sad panda

solid 6-7/10 album

 

[WanderingWind]

It's the definition of a mood album. When I'm feeling sad that's my album. All others times I'm like "dude, quit whining"

 

[thabiz]

Alc & Prodigy album. drip drip.

Truly the worst. I know someone that knows her and they keep tryna convince me she's dope.

"But she got signed to Tyga"

[HiResDes]

Kismet does too fucking hard. Orbz, The Cauldron, Tomorrow's Gone, exxx Studio, Cherry Raindrops, and Chains are highlights for me. I like the more eccentric stuff on it. The Key Nyata track is up there for SOTY for me.

 

[spindashing]

What is the consensus on Family Reunion? I'd listen to it right now if I wasn't at work. Heard RZA produced it.

Action Bronson- Strictly 4 My Jeeps remix ft. LL Cool J and Lloyd Banks

Agreed even though I rate it higher. At the time I thought it was better than Kanye's album. Kno's voice/accent holds him back.

A lot of that production seems right up Eminem's alley, seems like they'd be soulmates.

 

[Complex Shadow]

Action Bronson- Strictly 4 My Jeeps remix ft. LL Cool J and Lloyd Banks

ead

that was more of Bronson than i needed to see.

 

[DominoKid]

IDK why I didn't like this when it first came out. Probably because I was still fiending for that Owl Pharaoh release

Travis Scott - Pu$$y (feat. Gunplay, Fredo Santana & Chuck Inglish) (prod. by Mike Will Made It)

Fredo got real ignorant on that shit lmao.

Alc & Prodigy album. drip drip.

I heard it at my boys crib Its a clean edit but.....its amazing I cant wait for the legit drop date to cop it. Alchemist's beats are great and Prodigy rides them them like a pro.....pause.

Kismet does too fucking hard. Orbz, The Cauldron, Tomorrow's Gone, exxx Studio, Cherry Raindrops, and Chains are highlights for me. I like the more eccentric stuff on it. The Key Nyata track is up there for SOTY for me.

And there you have it the HRD has spoken. Kismet is great.

Also what is this I hear about Sade doing something? Someone please explain?

 

[Cudder]

cunt has spoken

Let Nas Down. I'm dying.

 

[tanooki141]

So I heard there was a CDQ snippet of New Slaves?

Fake?

Real, and wtf@Let Nas Down? I thought he said it was NOT going to be called that.

 

[Esch]

ahahahahhhhaaahhahahahahahahaahahahahahah

 

[Discotheque]

lmao. also cunt is spot on.

 

[DominoKid]

Cole is doing way too much right now lol.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Cole won't get that picture with Hov if he's slurping Nas like that.

 

[overcast]

Goddamn lol.

 

[Discotheque]

i'm pretty interested to hear what let nas down will sound like. it's gonna be like those shitty lines sprinkled throughout jesus piece when game was sucking jay and whoever's wang....all concentrated in one song.

 

[Recon]

Im so confused, didnt he also say no other rappers? Is this a joke...?

i'm pretty interested to hear what let nas down will sound like. it's gonna be like those shitty lines sprinkled throughout jesus piece when game was sucking jay and whoever's wang....all concentrated in one song.

You cant get much more concentrated dick riding than "insert song here" from Jesus Piece.

 

[enzo_gt]

James Faunterloy?

Sorry cunt, J. Cole is winning.

 

[Cudder]

what the fuck is this from lmao

blooper/outtake?

 

[Discotheque]

i thought daniels was anorexic or some shit and then all of a sudden there's a scene with his shirt off and he's cut like a muthafucka.

that also reminds me of when i was watching fast and furious 6 and ludacris has abs and shit. it's not right, some people shouldn't be physically fit.

 

[PBY]

Let nas down?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[PhoenixDark]

Let Nas Down? Wtf is wrong with this dude? He couldn't come up with a decent title for that shit? I shit on Kanye's Jay Z love fest, but at least it wasn't called "My Big Brother, Hova"
