What's up with that? It seems most rap fans I've met feel the need to get on that album ASAP.

Glad to see you're on the bandwagon though. Album blew my mind when I got into it as well.

I couldn't get into DOOM back in the day - his monotone delivery combined with his abstract style just didn't do it for me. About a year or two ago, I gave Operation: Doomsday another chance, and suddenly everything clicked...I finally got DOOM. I've had Madvillainy sitting in my iTunes for a long time, and finally decided to give it a shot today. I was worried that it'd be too long at 22 tracks, but most of them are really short, concise ideas. Madlib's production is creative as hell, and it pairs perfectly with MF DOOM's off-kilter ramblings.

like flipping through channels in someone's mind, and those channels are the unrestrained thoughts of the most interesting insane person there ever was.

DOOM is a neat rapper and he's so hilarious, demented, insane and unconventional which makes that much more neat.

Idek...

I still go on Ross to this day about those rape bars...

Now I actually have to consider not listening to good music by a possible rapist.

The biggest philosophy in which if art still represents a person? I say yes, a persons art is an extension of them and therefore can be colored by your opinion of their character.

Doom has to be up there in terms of technical ability in rap music. The combination of alliteration, internal rhyme schemes that span over multiple bars, and multi-syllabic rhyming together in single songs is crazy to me. Madlib's production can be hit or miss, but with Madvilliany he pretty much nails it. I like the concise packaging of the album as well.

I'm sure you are familiar with Mmm... Food and The Mouse and the Mask, and those albums are also great, and the latter will especially work for you if you are into Adult Swim.

2pac went to jail for sexual abuse too. Gibbs voice and flow sounds like its from that era

...All Eyez On Me 2 incoming brehs

Yeah but I never believed he actually did it. The way Shock G from Digital Underground explained how things went down in that courtroom is not right.

As for Gibbs..... I don't know man. To be honest I don't believe it, unless that video tape shows it all. For all we know him and his crew wanted to have some fun with the women and afterwards these two women thought it might be a good idea to make accusations. That chance is just as big as Gibbs actually being guilty, maybe even more likely because.... why the hell do these accusations appear a year later? The victims only recently remembered it or something?

Not that this is saying a lot but Gibbs is also married and has kids, doesn't he? Again, that means very little for some folks. But unless they have damning evidence, I don't believe it.

And I don't think we should take any lyrics seriously, even if Gibbs had at least one about rape.

Rape culture in a nutshell. You don't know shit and are already blaming the victim, wait for better evidences from the case before embarrassing yourself breh.

So what album or tape is everyone listening to the most this Summer?

For me, I can't stop playing that Lil Duke - Uber. It's doing for me this Summer, what Barter 6 did to me last Summer.

I've been listening to Common a lot lately. Be has been on rotation. It is a all smiles album. Feels so good.

One of my all-time faves. I know what I'm gonna listen to later.

My playlist right now are those Payroll Giovanni & Cardo, Lil Uber, and Post Malone tapes. Also still DS2+WATTBA+Evol when I'm on the go. I'm just not getting tired of it. It took me a few months to "get" Future when DS2 dropped last year and everybody hyped it up over here, but man, when it clicked, it clicked. Having learned about his history with Dungeon Family/Organized Noize only recently made me appreciate him even more.

Oh, and I'm loving that Avalanches album you guys recommended me a few days ago. Really chill:

I disagree with it being worse than Planet Shrooms.

I guess it comes down to what you want from him. If you wanted psychedelic, high in the sky tunes, PSZ32 was for you.

IMO, Imperial is for you if you want a more personal take on Curry's life. A lot of Imperial is him rapping at an audience.

I don't know why people continually want to separate 32 Zel and Planet Shrooms they are two sides of the same coin and showcase Denzel's more aggressive side and also a wavier psychedelic side, which I believe makes him interesting.

It's not so much that I want to separate them. I'm trying to keep it simple in that I fuck with Imperial's one sided tone of aggressiveness more than what PS32Z offered. Again, I believe it comes down to what you expect/want from Curry.

Nah, unless i worded it wrong, you misunderstand me.

It's true, i don't know shit about it, none of us do. Only Gibbs and those two women. That's why i said...''for all we know...'' anything is possible. I just refuse to condemn the dude right away. It happens plenty of times that people are falsely accused of things like these and again...i ask, why wait a year for this to accuse him of that? I just find it odd.

So no dude i disagree, i am not embarrassing myself at all. If it turns out that there's evidence, hard evidence....i'll be among the first ones to admit i was wrong in believing he didn't do it. But one thing is true too, women can be pretty terrible, some of them and have no problem ruining a person's life like this.

I'll end this by saying i hope it's not true and especially let's wait for June 16 when Gibb's extradition hearing will take place.

Great album. I don't know if I like Resurrection or Like Water For Chocolate as my favorite Common album. Resurrection has probably his craziest wordplay throughout his entire career, in fact it was probably his forte when he first started.

Ha, yeah. It's sort of a specific sound. Ethereal, mournful woman singer. Deep, melancholic bass lines, all underpinned with a pop sensibility that gets it stuck in your head. I dunno. Does any of that dime store P4K bullshit make any sense?
