I'll get to it soon. I loved the few songs I heard from it.
So far Chronicles Brotherhood is the worst, no surprises there.

I never thought I'd like a Future album (Hendrxx) more than a Kendrick project.
Culture too.
Culture too.
That's a hot ass take, my friend.

Janet Jackson - Got Till It's Gone (Ummah Jay Dee's Revenge Mix)
[There's a very interesting story about the original's production and this remix - long story short: Janet Jackson's main producers jacked Dilla & Q-Tip's production on the original and credited it under their own name; Dilla kept his mouth shut, but when he was asked to submit a remix for the official Single CD he deliberately emphasized his style in its production and named it literally "Jay Dee Revenge Mix" without Janet's label noticing the shade, lol]

And these are just very few examples of tracks he produced for others. I could link you hundreds of dope instrumentals too. Especially the unreleased beat tapes from the early/mid-90's I've found a few years ago finally. Disgusting, raw beats.

The singles were booty
Sorry, last headphone question in this thread I promise, but is there is a significant different between V-MODA M100 and LP2 (assuming you've tried both)? The price difference in Canada is ~$100. But these look like they might be what I'm looking for, because I like my 598's, but I don't want to buy yet another balanced headphone and I'm thinking the m50x will be too similar to the 598. So the V-Moda is looking like it might be my answer for more bass-heavy hip-hop.
Yes big difference. Completely different drivers, completely different headphones. V-Moda M100 far superior overall though in terms of bass depth and overall clarity.
If those are too much check out the Audio-Technica ATH-WS99, definitely have the bass you're looking for, but you'd have to buy pads for them eventually I didn't think they were comfortable at all.
Cool, thanks again, I will check those out as well. Might end up springing for the M100 ultimately, they look like what I need.
Valley of Grace embodies all of my favorite things about Hip-Hop, Elucid sounds so professional and concentrated on it. His production seems effortlessly seamless and dark, sharp and atmospheric at times. The weaving in and out of Plunderphonics is like audio icecream to me. Then he makes these 1-2 minute songs with nihilistic lyrics and cold but aware delivery, really love it. Probably my favorite project from this year.
With that said, I went back to Armand Hammer, happy to say that it's somewhat easier to unpack 4 years later and I actually got stuck on Shark Fin Soup, replayed it about 4 times before continuing with the album. I mean you could compare Armand Hammer to someone like Cannibal Ox considering the location of these two rappers and the subject matter of the album.
Billy Woods/Elucid/Jeremiah Jae/Earl Sweatshirt/Captain Murphy kind of sound is incredible to me because it's a natural progression of something like Madvillainy, and now I don't have to keep referencing Madvillainy when talking about these artists since they're replaced artists like DOOM in terms of the actual sound is concerned.

@Moody/OG/Nibbs: new German heat
Damn, did you just have that ready to go? Thanks for the links, that's my evening music sorted. I've only listened to Donuts so far, but that's bliss work music.
Early impressions of 2 albums:
- Thundercat - Drunk: not familiar with his other stuff, but I'm not a big fan so far. Most songs just glide by and don't leave a real impression and those lyrics... can't say I like em. The direct DBZ/anime/game talk is just... weird. And not the good kind
- Joey Bada$$: his message is pretty direct, no symbolism or metaphors, all cut and dry. I like it though, favorite lyric after first listen: "In the land of the free, it's full of free loaders/Leave us dead in the street to be their organ donors"
I can see myself giving the Bada$$ record more spins, but not really won over by Thundercat yet
@Moody/OG/Nibbs: new German heat
The track is dope but tbh there are stronger ones on the album/mixtape
Anders Nicht So Wie Du
I like Drunk, but that's because I'm a big Thundercat guy. Listen to Apocalypse, The Golden Age of Apocalypse, or any of his stuff with Kamasi Washington, FlyLo, or K.Dot
I liked Drunk, but I can understand why all the quick tracks and instrumentals coming and going can disorient listeners. A lot of it feels unfocused, like Thundercat had concepts but couldn't realize all of them so he just put the demos on the pad the album. There's 23 tracks and Drunk could've easily been cut down to 14-16. I still enjoy the overall sound though.
AOTY on lock.
