Edit: PS @SuperBacon, there's a Skinnyman Council Estate of Mind gig in April at the Jazz Cafe I'm dead keen on, as I didn't end up making that other one either in the end. You up for it?

Assume his son, Big Shug, Freddie Foxxx etc filling in? Premier live is just him shouting over the records anyway. Yeah, I’ll be up for that. Will keep an eye on funds this month and get back to you 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 29, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2020 Seeing DJ Premier live a couple years ago was embarrassingly shit. And he's really fat now too, incidentally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. £96 for a midweek gig? Fuck that. I'll be amazed if DMX actually makes it over too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 7, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hip hop with a live band is gash, mostly. I've only seen it work well maybe like.. twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. He’s definitely the one out of the “GOAT”s that I’m least familiar with, and I’m not sure why that is as he’s incredible. In fact his verse on Mobb Deeps The Realest is one of my favourites of all time. Maybe because he hasn’t made what’s deemed to be a “classic” album, but then neither did Kane so I don’t know what I’m on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted February 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) I was the same until about the last year or so. But I started listening to him a fair bit a few months ago. As well as ‘The Realest’, which is indeed class, I love these as well. ’Operation CB’ (cock blocking); ‘It’s A Shame’; And probably my favourite KGR track of them all, ‘On The Run’; ”So I snuck up on the sucka. Put my gun to his head ‘What’s up now, motherfucka?’ He said ‘Wait, I wanna talk’...I put his brains on the sidewalk”. One of the best Hip Hop storytellers for me. A master of painting a vivid picture that takes you on a journey for 3 minutes or so. Also a big fan of ‘Streets Of New York’ and that ‘Fast Life’ track did with Nas.

SuperBacon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Childish Gambino-3.15.20 I've seen quite a few reviews of this from people's opinion I respect calling it a "masterpiece". I think it's a fucking mess myself. I am a big Donald Glover fan and think he's annoyingly talented/handsome, but this doesn't click at all. There's just no heart or soul behind any of it, and it feels really cold and calculated, incredibly formulaic in parts and just "zeitgeist-grabby" (is that a thing?). A real shame, as I'm sure there is a great album in him somewhere, but this ain't it. 35.31 is probably the best track if you can't be arsed with the whole thing. Not a massive amount happening right now. Run The Jewels released two tracks of RTJ4 which are great if you like RTJ, and Jehst released this little gem as well. That's pretty much about it. Edit: Just heard this RA and Slug track and it's really good. Edited March 27, 2020 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
