A friend told me about them, then the next day I saw that NeedleDrop gave their album a 9/10, you know I don't really care for his opinions, but still, that score is pretty rare from him.
I haven't heard the album yet, just watched their vids on YouTube yestetday and I was pretty amazed. They've got that classic, raw, underground hip hop feel going on, but mixed with all that new, modernized shit.

I hate the NeedleDrop guy. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. He's not actually very articulate, but he goes for the "articulate, intelligent guy" shtick. A lot of what he says makes me wonder what the fuck world he's living on. Like how he said, in his ranking of Kanye albums where he placed Yeezus in LAST PLACE, that "a lot of fans and critics couldn't get behind this album because... (blah)"
Seriously, prematurely bald college dropout guy? Really? Yeezus was an album fans and critics couldn't "get behind?" Uhhh... it was ranked either the #1 or #2 album of 2013 by *literally* every major outlet that bothers listing that kind of thing. Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, Guardian, Time, Newsweek, and maybe hop on over to AOTY.com just to see how many others. But apparently we "couldn't get on board," and it was just "experimentation for experimentation's sake." It's not even really that experimental... it's just not easily boxed in hip-hop. And no, if actually doesn't sound anything like Death Grips, though I get why the album is conceptually linked with he band.
Fat-headed idiot.
Oh and he said DAMN. was weak, and bitched about some of the best parts. Ugh. I hate listening to him talk about shit. He gets things wrong too. Untitled mastered. wasn't a "B-sides" compilation, moron. Idiot. That's factually and categorically incorrect.
And he's not funny. To his credit though, it takes an awful lot of determination to become a nationally known "music critic" despite having no experience or education. You really have to have a lot of time to kill making YouTube videos. How *brave* that in this independent contractor "gig" economy, someone would pursue such a dream. *eyeroll*
He want everyone to think he's like a huge fan of all different genres, but I don't buy it. Listen to him talk about Swans. He's missing some pieces of that puzzle. There are gaps in his knowledge. And let's face it, the only propel who legitimately think College Dropout is the best Kanye album are this generation's "I like their
early stuff" posers. The people who decide what they like and don't like based on an urge to go against popular opinion. Like the assholes who think "London Calling" isn't
real Clash, because they want to be able to look down on people. Ugh!!
Fuck you, NeedleDrop guy!
