Albums Skyzoo - In Celebration of Us (Discussion Thread)

[doublenegative]

This joint is a vibe......u gotta really dial in.....that Parks and recreation joint had me zonin

 

[NYK Loyalist]

Skyzoo is one of my favorite MC's but I couldn't get into this for some reason. I need to give it a couple more spins

 

[Sin Simma]

So far in this hip-hop odyssey, I could seriously say Sky haven’t dropped a wack project ever. That’s amazing to me. No one is without flaws, but a so/so project from him is better than some of these popular mainstream artists projects.

Better than a lot of cats in any scene, mainstream, underground etc.


On topics:

This is a project that flirts with several different topics.
Blackness, Poverty, Criminality fueled by economic need not sociopathy and so on.
It strives to give humanity to a group of people who are stripped of it.

All over jazzy production that remains faithfully Hip-Hop.
Rhodes, Banging Drum Lups, Bass lines, Saxophones, Trumpets etc.
Often on The Coli Jazz is derided by the foolish and ignorant but this is a form of music
that is supreme and it's origins are as African American as can be and frankly it's
a genre that when sampled has directly contributed to the greatest songs in Hip-Hop.

Whether you're J. Dilla or Pete Rock or Q-Tip or Kanye West, hell even Dr. Dre and Dj Quik.
If you're from any fukking coast really this is the music alongside Soul, Blues, Funk and so on
that form the foundation to this rapping shyt.

It continues the stories that Skyzoo has weaved prior and will likely continue to.
And it's as worth a listen as "A Dream Deferred...", "Music For My Friends","The Easy Truth"
or his various other albums/mixtapes/projects that have dropped in his over a decade long career.

This is an Emcee reaching his lyrical and conceptual zenith and if you want to bare witness to it
instead of coming back to it a decade from now when the young of today are considered the "Old heads"
that'll inevitably prattle on about the underrated from the decade prior, then LISTEN TO THIS shyt NOW.

 

[Formerly known as...]

This is dope.

Play this album on your headphones late at night Brehs.

Well if anybody was on the fence about checking this out I'm pretty sure this took them off of it.

 

[Animal House]

Skyzoo has a decent lil catalog compared to many of his peers from the late 00s

3 Day High
The Salvation
Live from the Tapedeck
Peddler Theme
Dream Deferred
Barrel Brothers
Easy Truth
Music for My Friends
And this Id say he has one of the Best Catalogs

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Very good album. Skyzoo rapping his ass off and the beats really compliment him. Would say this is on par with Salvation, which may be my favorite album from him.

 

[NV-ME]

still hasn't dropped a wack project. this gonna get better the more I listen to it and I already like it.

 

[Insensitive]

I'm handing out Dap and Rep....

In Celebration Of Us

 

[James Worthy]

Bakers Dozen is my favorite song.







Sounds like D'Angelo's "Devils Pie (2.0)".









Imagine prime Hov on both beats though.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

This is dope.

Play this album on your headphones late at night Brehs.

This is exactly what I did. Just kicked back in my bed with headphones on while watching highlights. There’s no better way to fully ingest an album than that

''And then love me like you was Venida Browder,
Pickets outside and you just tryna ease the crowd up,
Knowing your heart died makes your heart beat louder,
Until the speakers blow and it lift you up from around us'' - Skyzoo (Love Is Love)
