Son did one album like this and you tripping put yourself in check
Two really.
Yea, I like him on there. His first verse is great, but the rest of RTJ aint like that. 1 or 2. Killer Mike just absolutely murders him on every other verse.
Agreed
I like the contrast between El-P's sometimes colder more unaffected sounding voice and Mike's tone, which seems to always be on the brink of emotion and teeters on a near southern roar. When the distinction works the song seems all the better for the dynamics between the two styles like on Angel Dust. It's like we're getting two different perspectives on the same narrative they eventually coincide as one.

Heh. Production.
EDIT: Thats a compliment to El-P. Not many people making me think twice with their production like that. Production on that tape is amazing.

RTJ 2 is a lot better because El stepped up heavily on the Mic plus the overall flow of the album is better
Absolute classic. Made Blu one of my favourite MC's.
Just wish his career after wasn't so disappointing. His newest album ain't bad, but I dunno. It's not even that his music after BTH is awful (Her Favorite Colo(u)r is amazing) just doesn't seem like he's cared much post-BTH. Sporadic releases, shoddy sound quality on a lot of shit, etc.
Movie was rad, haven't watched it since then though so no idea if it holds up at all.90s kids, how many of ya'll liked this when you were little?
...I can't be the only one
Ditto, but I remember when I was 7 or 8 that was the shit.
Is it better than space jam?
On par. Space Jam is the shit.
You're right. I'm wrong.nah, this movie was Rad,

Yup. I remember when Kendrick was just some kid who opened up alongside other rappers for Blu. It's amazing how things change. I liked the Johnson&Jonson album and Her Favorite Color but also remember that period being rocky. He started sampling those slower, older records and being very mellow on the mic. Which wasn't bad but I wanted to hear him rip shit up again. Then he started releasing unfinished shit, missing shows, etc.
I still can't listen to Jesus. Some of the tracks I've heard are dope but it being so poor in sound quality was one of the final straws. I know it was mastered and re-released but I haven't listened. I'll give his new album a shot since I'm feeling good right now.
BTW this is the most excited for music I've been all year. I listened to a lot of stuff earlier this year but this Rase Kass album has me hyped, RTJ2 is crazy, I've been going over some thabiz music posts, Black Milk soon...I'm happy. Maybe that's why I liked the Diamond District album more on the second listen yesterday.
it was nice of the NBA to feed Crispin Glover for a hot minute.
i want to pull the trigger on the rasta kass LP but im still on the fence, i only heard a couple tracks
i'm with you though; rtj2, black milk, i'm good till next year on rap.
Jesus has some really dope tracks. And not all of them are horrible quality. Somehow. I don't know what Blu's weird ass process is with these random releases, but the quality level is somehow different on certain tracks.
His newest album is solid. A bit long with some random weak guest verses, but it's cool. Still not nearly as good as BTH or Give Me My Flowers.
just got to Love Again holy shit

bumping this for the 1st time in years. used to bump this LP all of the time. still as good as ever.
This is the best time of the year. Looking forward to the tracks/mixes to be released over the next week. Hoping for some dark shit. Got something in that vein to put out myself actually.
BLESS!
It's insane how good this album is.

we're talking about rtj2 though.
El-P really teeters the line between completely bland and showing unrestrained lyrical mastery for me.
Like HRD mentioned above, it's good when he's contrasted against Killer Mike, but he can drown himself in beats sometimes. Part of that is just his delivery too, which isn't the most charismatic or inviting necessarily. Which is totally fine stylistically, but sometimes you come out of his raps not getting much out of the content necessarily and just appreciating flow switching and multis (textbook rappity rap problems).
This is part of the reason why I didn't really enjoy Cancer 4 Cure. I mean, I appreciate it, but his raps just get lost in the production even though he is spitting some lethal shit.

I'm full. That was a good ass meal. RTJ1 sort of washed over like a wave of okaydom, but this is some hearty stew right here.
