NoYork! Reevaluation Thread

[Big Mel]

Nah. I bought that album and it's a clear case of smart fans over thinking the listening experience and showering praise on a pile off poo. Ish is embarrassingly wack now.


and yeah, Death Grips....i saw people acting like that wasn't sheer noise on rap forums and had a chuckle.

They said rap was sheer noise too.
I think you gotta get used to the sound of death grips before enjoying it. it bumps hard.

 

[Big Mel]

stop.

NoYork was cool. I admit, theres maybe 1/3 of it that I skip, but overall I liked what Blu tried to do.

It felt like an extension of what Common did on Electric Circus. When you think of it, that type of sound hasnt really been explored and is kind of a goldmine

 

[surgical gloves]

really don't dig those electronic beats

 

[bangbreh]

hamhawks on the kirstin dunst, shyttttttttin.

But FUUUUCK, some of you guys hated the thing. Maybe it's because a lot of people aren't really into the Low End Theory/Brainfeeder/LA Beat Scene like that

i liked it right off the bat because i understood the LA Beat scene movement that it was steeped in. It's basically Blu doing Brainfeeder.

Brainfeeder/Low End/BTS are all one enveloped sonic religion for me (my mixes have soooooo many beats from that universe), but hearing comments like the ones quoted are as weird as me saying only half the album was good to you guys.

The previews leading up to NoYork was monumental. Just raw ass raps over spaced out beats, and though I've been listening to those particular beats for at the very least a year before Blu destroyed them, it still felt great hearing lyricism worthy enough to bless those instrumentals i.e. FlyLo's and Gaslamp's GNG BNG, Samiyam's catch me ridin dirty, and of course Dibiase's DevonWho remix beat for SLNBNGRS. Hearing these previews *none of the snippets foretelling the 'extra experimental' beats*) leaves one to think that his album would only consist of raw raps on future beats.

Sadly enough, that wasn't the case.

On a side note, the new beat scene (it ain't just LA) will be the backbone of rap hopefully within this decade. It almost feels like this is barely the beginning for hip hop.



Thank you, Dilla. Thank you, FlyLo.
