How so? Influences? Samples? Styles?

Also, Favorite Dilla Albums?

Spoiler

Not Donuts pls

Also Also, Tokus you post good gifs. You da real mvp.

Probably how he flipped the styles on his new album. It reminds me of how Dilla did beats with the heavy bass and flitering. As far as my favorite Dilla album...besides Donuts lol, I love his vinyl years album. Dat she said remix tho..

i haven't heard the new Pete Rock album so maybe I'm wrong (and maybe you're talking about something different), but hasn't the whole heavy bass and filtering always been Pete Rock's signature since his early SP-1200 days in the early 90's?

I dunno...it just seems like I'm getting Dilla vibes from his new album compared to his old work. Like I said it's probably how he flipped the samples which didn't sound like typical Pete Rock beats. I could be reaching though...

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

It's funny since Staples' voice often sounds like a mix of Chuuwee and Big Sean

I was thinking Dolla; totally see Chuuwee too though

I couldn't get far into the Pete Rock album tbh, it's rather weak. I'll give it another try soon. Doesn't remind me of Dilla at all so I'm confused by the comparisons. Early Pete Rock? Sure, of course. Hard drums, bass, interesting sample flips. But modern Pete Rock? ehhh...

Dilla used to look up to Pete Rock and he was a heavy inspiration to his style. You can definitely hear it in their 90s/00s work.

How early are we talking? I though those were all decade or two old beats?

 

[PhoenixDark]

It's a mixture of unreleased and new stuff. I'm assuming the unreleased stuff is largely from the aughts.

How many legit dope Pete Rock beats can you remember from that era to today? Even Premo shits out a good track every few years. That Watch The Throne track is from 1997 btw.

 

[Storm Chamber]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and cop Summertime 06 and Hell Can Wait.

Hell of a year

 

[IrishNinja]

this staples aint bad so far

yeah, and again as someone who still revisits petestrumentals from time to time, this doesn't feel like it has that resonance for me

 

[thabiz]

I'm digging the new rock. Got that much needed funk. The reggae track could go through

 

[RP912]

For me...

Petestrumentals 1>>>>2

but that Vince Staples though....sweet mother of pearl.

 

[wenis]

Interview with most of TDE, only missing SZA I guess?
- Jay Rock album within the next month, mixing right now
- Everyone says they're working on stuff.

[Net_Wrecker]

Summertime '06 keeps getting better.

Q out here looking like a washed up wrestler hawking autographs lmao.

Sounds like TDE realized Jay Rock will never do big numbers and are just gonna release the project for the fans. If Isiah Rashad could do 14k first week without anyone knowing who he was, I'd imagine Jay Rock can at least double that (or come close).

I'm feeling good about this next batch of albums. Can't be worse than Oxymoron/These Days. Kendrick delivered again but this time I expect the rest of the camp to at least not embarrass themselves. Jay Rock's album should be dope, Q can't do worse than Oxymoron IMO, Rashad will drop another dope project.


....Ab Soul is finished tho

The look Ab-Soul had when they asked him what he's doing was the same one CyHi had when they asked him if Akon was still making money off of him.
