Phonte - No News Is Good News (DIscussion Thread)

[aloebeats]

This new Phonte is high quality grown folks music..
It's like he's taken the rhymes/lyricism and boom bap from the Little brother days and spliced it with the work he did with Nicolay as the foreign exchange.
The result is

Phonte is better than every nikka that's out right now, easily.

I ain't even gonna read everybody's else opinion on this shyt at the moment. I'm speaking for myself, mane.

No News Is Good News is a grown man rap album, but so was Charity Starts At Home. This one, it's basically the Little Brother version of 4:44 if anything. He really did drop ALOT of wisdom on here.

Especially when Tigallo done said:

"Cause by the time you realize that your father is right,
You'll probably have your own son telling you that you wrong"



And I have Charity Starts At Home on CD. I bought it on hardcopy at a Foreign Exchange show 2 years ago. AND met Nicolay the same night. I WILL be purchasing this disc when the physical drops. TAKE MY $ MANE!

The fact he even shouted out Big Pooh, 9th Wonder (Even tho they been cool again since Charity) and Big Dho.....mane, Little Brother HAS to come back after this LP. They've done them for long enough. One more LB album is all I need.

I'm lovin' it!

Off first listen this is the best rap album I’ve heard since 4:44. Perfect mix of bars and great music. It’s criminal that Phonte isn’t more famous than he is. I’m feeling all the tracks but the standouts for me are Expensive Genes, Cry No More and Such is Life. Not to sound corny but I was really growing tired of hip hop lately. Shyt was becoming background music for me, some shyt to bump in the whip or gym. This album restored the feeling for me

Me too breh, I felt the exact same way. Got those restoring the feeling goosebumps

It saddens me Phonte never truly blew up, but he has a core fanbase thats allowed him to do what he loves, and he keep delivering

Anybody know the sample on such is life it’s on the tip of my head

Pretty sure it's Keith Washington "Kissing You"

 

[thatrapsfan]

You know this album is dope when it got @Malta and @Walt in The Booth

I thought it was much better that 4:44 but I agree with the sentiment album is complete.

I still loved 4:44 but I see myself bumping this way more
