cool. i can cross jamie off the list now.



but on the real. theres a new leftfield record coming and thats all that matters.

Yo Thugger on the new Jamie XX with mother fucking Popcaan shit is gonna be certified fire.

Sounds like a cool combination. I remember jamie xx making a really carribean sounding song before using those tin drums

 

[codhand]

When Run The Jewels sent me this track, I knew we had the opportunity to create a film that means something. I felt a sense of responsibility to do just that. We had to exploit the lyrics and aggression and emotion of the track, and translate that into a film that would ignite a valuable and productive conversation about racially motivated violence in this country.

ok this statement by the director is kinda undermined by lines like

"Trained in the art of vagina whispering"

but whatevs it's a cool video regardless.



havent heard leftfield since the Wipeout soundtrack

This is probably going to end up being better than Metro Thuggin

Run The Jewels feat. Zack de la Rocha - "Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k)"

That was intense.

Projection Time


Bam Bam - 37-42k/40-45k

Earl - 30-35k/28-32k

Kendrick - 100K



If they didn't goof that entire release smh

 

[Discotheque]

where did the 3 hundred something number for kendrick come from? no way he sold as low as 100k.

 

[Rastafarian42]

That's for the second week.

damn those are great numbers for Bronson. My man made it.

 

[Discotheque]

it's a pretty good second week considering how divisive the sound of the album is tho, plus the singles haven't gotten traction. he kind of walked away with a win since he got out the album he wanted and it didn't flop for him either.

 

[CountBlack]

damn those are great numbers for Bronson. My man made it.

Just makes Flabby Brown's 15k first week look eem worse

 

[Discotheque]

dunno how danny brown flopped so hard. i guess he just doesn't have any sort of fanbase showing up for him really.

btw listening to this jenny death right now

 

[DominoKid]

Fuck Thats Delicious helped Bronson numbers out more than any of his music.

 

[Bubbavelli]

I needed some new Roc Marciano like yesterday. It's a shame he didn't make Bronson's album but it makes sense

 

[RBK]

dunno how danny brown flopped so hard. i guess he just doesn't have any sort of fanbase showing up for him really.

Didn't really have any good singles.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I wonder what's up with the label he runs, Man Bites Dog. AG The Coroner's album still isn't out nor has he released a mixtape. Roc has been super quiet as well. Weird...

 

[overcast]

Wow, those numbers are much higher than expected for Bronson. Good for him, happy for the dude.

 

[codhand]

Earl got f'd on that rollout, shitty...

 

[PBY]

Earl got f'd on that rollout, shitty...

I know he has a fanbase- but no one really wants to listen to an earl album right?

 

[codhand]

I know he has a fanbase- but no one really wants to listen to an earl album right?

Doris did really well....

 

[PhoenixDark]

Earl got f'd on that rollout, shitty...

Isn't that partially his fault for going for the surprise rollout with no promo and no noteworthy single? I like Grief but Doris came out the gate with a better single iirc. The song with Vince Staples.

 

[Fjordson]

Damn, good #'s for Bronsolino.

 

[Cheddahz]

I know he has a fanbase- but no one really wants to listen to an earl album right?

I didn't want to, but Grief was excellent and I ended up really enjoying the album

 

[Rastafarian42]

I wouldn't doubt it now that it's been picked up for cable TV.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I wouldn't doubt it now that it's been picked up for cable TV.

Rumor is that HBO picked it up.

 

[Rastafarian42]

Rumor is that HBO picked it up.

See now that's perfect HBO continues being the GOAT.

 

[MuddyDonut]

Wait so this is actually a thing? lemme check these view counts.

 

[overcast]

If Kendrick actually hits 100K second week that's really solid too.

Rumor is that HBO picked it up.

Damn, that would be great.

 

[Courage]

Isn't that partially his fault for going for the surprise rollout with no promo and no noteworthy single? I like Grief but Doris came out the gate with a better single iirc. The song with Vince Staples.

Chum was the first single. As much as I dislike Doris, Chum is probably his best song out of all 3 albums.

How Kendrick Lamar Transformed Into 'The John Coltrane of Hip-Hop' on 'To Pimp a Butterfly'

Super dope article/interview on the creation of the album. I'd love to see a documentary on the creation of this album. It's like an all-star list of jazz musicians making a rap album.

 

[thabiz]

did they seriously compare kendrick to john coltrane? seriously?

 

[MoodyFog]

did they seriously compare kendrick to john coltrane? seriously?

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm a huge Coltrane fan, but Kendrick is not the Coltrane of hip-hop (not yet anyways)

 

[PhoenixDark]

did they seriously compare kendrick to john coltrane? seriously?

Moreso in terms of Kendrick shifting towards a more spiritual, improvisational direction, as Coltrane did with Love Supreme. Not "Kendrick is Coltrane," obviously. That's too simple.

The strings on TPAB are amazing. Especially towards the end of Mortal Man, alongside that great jazz outro. Honestly that might be my favorite musical moment of 2015 thus far. Shit just sounds beautiful and seems to be building to such a brilliant climax when it abruptly ends.

 

[Dereck]

I've had Modern Day Mugging on repeat. Such good flow and lines, can't stop.

I hated his vicktor vaughn personality but enjoyed that album.

Bout to give TPAB the whip test

Did y'all enjoy that new Gibbs EP?

 

[Courage]

Did y'all enjoy that new Gibbs EP?

Yes, it's great. I wish he had another track or 2.
