wordsfromlee Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I only got round to listening to that record for the first time about a month ago and it's brilliant. The only thing I'd heard of his was MM.. FOOD years back when it first came out and I didn't really like it so never bothered with him again but after hearing his album he made with Bishop Nehru and the production on Nehru's record (which is ace btw) I decided to give it ago.

SuperBacon Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Everything he does bangs. That's an incredible album. Check the Czarface one that dropped recently, it's really decent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 20, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted August 20, 2018 I find Czarface a bit blah tbh, but there's one DOOM track on the latest album that is really great. Nautical something? Best verse of his I've heard in ages, where he didn't just phone it in. Madvillain is his best work, for my money.

Merzbow Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Madvillian is pretty much perfect but King Geedorah is my fav project, I'd kill for a follow-up to Take Me To Your Leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I listened to the Czarface record when it came out and thought it was ok but nothing amazing. Madvillian is great. As is most things Madlib touches. His Shades of Blue record is too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that choice. You ever heard the monster island czars album? It's shit. But the track MIC Line is awesome. DOOM produced and he's the only one rapping on it.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 31, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Eminem's new album 'Kamikaze' came out today. Didn't even know it was due. Anyone listened to it yet? I'm not the biggest fan of his, although I like some of his earlier stuff, but are there any standout tracks worth checking? I've heard he's had a pop at loads of fuckers, including Drake who seems to be getting it from all angles these last few months   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like root beer Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Didn't listen to ems album but enjoying the beef between him and MGK rap devil is an exceptional diss track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 15, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted September 15, 2018 I don't know anything of MGK other than a shite performance at Wrestlemania, but it's a good diss track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 He dissed Tyler The Creator and then apologised for using homophobic language.  Yeah, that'll tell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) DJ Shadow stood in for Giles Peterson the other week on his BBC 6Music Saturday afternoon show. Well worth checking out on the iPlayer Radio app. Three hour show with loads of great underground stuff I’ve never heard of as well as some really rare choice cuts from funk and soul collection. He also has a podcast called ‘Find, Share, Rewind’ which is really good. It was originally a college radio show he did last year that’s been released in podcast form. Tons of brilliant obscure stuff from a master of the game. Edited September 18, 2018 by wordsfromlee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 19, 2018 Author Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2018 So I am very excited to see Planet Asia is going to be in London in a couple weeks at the Jazz Cafe. I first heard him way back on Peanut Butter Wolf's My Vinyl Weighs a Ton album, and he has been putting out EPs, mixtapes and albums steadily ever since. He's probably the best he's ever been at the moment - particularly his recent albums with Muggs and Apollo Brown. When he's paired with a great producer like that he really shines. Also I see Rasco is playing in London a few days later so I wonder if there's any chance of an impromptu Cali Agents reunion? If it does happen hopefully it doesn't happen at the Rasco show in Brixton because I'm not going to that... Anyway, I'm rolling dolo to the Planet Asia show so if anyone on here is also planning to attend give me a shout. @SuperBacon? Â Unrelated, my mate turned me on to Knowledge The Pirate's album Flintlock. He is a guy who features on most of Roc Marciano's projects and is always decent. The album is really good - well worth a listen. Here is a track from it. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Been going back and listening to a lot of old school stuff lately. Forgot how much I love this one... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 @Chest Rockwell I wasn't planning to as I didn't know about it, but might just do. I'll have to get the night off work, but I'll see what I can do. Support from Klashnekoff as wel!!! I loved Anchovies, and you're right, he's on the form of his life. I remember buying Rasco's The Birth in Mr Bongos back when I was a 15 year old baggy panted b-boy as Tony Vegas, of Scratch Perverts fame, told me that "Rasco and Planet Asia are fucking dope" and I was so scared, I handed over my pocket money without ever having heard either of them. It was a decent EP as far as I can remember. Hmmm, 1998 is old school now is it? Anyway, DJ Premier is one of the all time greats obviously, and whilst he got a bit Preem-by-numbers-horns-sample-keyboard-stab-scratched-chorus in the 2000's, he has created so many beautiful things, he gets a pass always.
