louder's hip-hop café II - Page 16

chocolate_ladyland · 05.19.2013, 01:24 PM

Just listened to the new Ghostface. I seriously think he is the GOAT. His discography is nearly flawless, which is something VERY few rappers can claim. He's also one of the few rappers who can combine insane lyricism with great songwriting (there is a difference). The progression from Ironman to 12WTD is unheard of in hip hop, a genre where most rappers I think peak at their 1st/2nd/3rd release, whereas Apollo Kids and 12 Ways to Die are easily two of his best. The only rapper who I really think gives him competition is DOOM.

What happened to "Black American Psycho"? That was just too good to be true I suppose.

Yeezus? Wow. How anticlimactic.

I'm still excited though.

chocolate_ladyland · 05.19.2013, 01:39 PM

and by Twelve WAYS to Die, I mean Twelve REASONS to Die

i think he wanted to use that title but people told him it'd be a bad idea.

whatever. "Black Skinhead" is so good.

rock is having a better year than hip-hop so far though.

new albums by Iceage, MBV, The National and Deerhunter are all solid as fuck.

And Lips, YLT, Drones, Chelsea Light Moving, Nick Cave, Wire, No Joy, Follakzöid, Pharmakon, Foxygen, Psychic Ills...

This really has been a great year. I'm forgetting half of the albums that have been blowing my mind, across genres, since 2013 started.

Yeah, I was going to say something about your being about late to the party. It really puts some of the newer rap into perspective doesn't it? Funny how Ghostface can, on his own, completely mow down artists half his age. Imagine what the new Wu-Tang album will be like, if everyone keeps their heads out of their asses.

noisereductions · 05.22.2013, 07:40 PM

yeah so glad I got the deluxe. My wife is really into the instrumental disc.

intrigued about that Nick Cave. Iceage and The National have been on heavy rotation here though and they rule.

louder · 05.23.2013, 02:48 PM

forreal Black Skinhead could be a Death Grips song. i'm surprised that Kanye sampled fucking Marilyn Manson. the new album is gonna be even crazier than Twisted Fantasy.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 05.23.2013, 03:07 PM

Bobby Womack?
The O'Jays?

noisereductions · 05.23.2013, 08:09 PM

I've not heard black skinhead. Somebody tell me I can purchase it somehow. Streaming will simply not due.

They're both self indulgent, but I don't think I've ever met a MBDTF hater. Not even when I kinda hated him.

Incidentally, 808's and MBDTF are the only Kanye albums I physically own.

I've been trying to find the rest. Only own iTunes copies of College Dropout and Graduation. LR on Spotify, but I want them all.

Black Skinhead live on SNL. i think he might not release any singles. Twisted Fantasy has brought him to such a place in his career where he doesn't need to and being mysterious gets him enough hype.

that alleged cover art still puzzles me.

batreleaser · 05.24.2013, 08:53 AM

I think it was Spin that just ran an op-ed comparing Kanye to Pink Floyd? It made a lot of sense, except Kanye is a lot better than those old farts.

louder · 05.25.2013, 08:45 AM

i would say he's like our 70's David Bowie.

noisereductions · 05.25.2013, 09:12 AM

and Tyler is our 90's Marilyn Manson?

noisereductions · 05.25.2013, 10:52 PM

I read someone calling Lil B our Frank Zappa... and shit sorta made sense to me.

(And I'm a FZ fan!)
