I think Corpsey posted this in the 2011 hiphop thread, but since it's only out at the end of this month, and is one of the best hiphopthingies of recent years for me, it needs to be mentioned again.

No idea who makes the beats/sounds.
There's a connection between GZA & Ka & other Brownsville natives. But he apparently directed the videos & edited them all himself, and by the quality of the words & the pictures, why should he not be equally gifted when it comes to beats ?

So in that vein, here's my 3rd fave of the ones posted by him off Grief Pedigree

cocaine seems to be a good drug for rappers, particualry in the lex luger era. it should be compulsory.

Ka sounds like a more monotonous and less refined Roc Marciano. Would've been ANYONE in '97. Enough.

Marciano is great because he's kind of awful, and brilliant. The beats are always PERFECTLY nostalgic. Like, you listen and minus the sound quality of the mixing, you think you're listening to a cassette. Also, he's like Mic Geronimo after a stroke or something.

He also can barely move his face and his arms. Very robotic. I think that's where I get the stroke vibe from.
