i remember crowley saying araab as just another lex but i dont reeally agree. i think you can hear as much in common with clams as with anyone else.

I argued that Aarab was Heatmakerz 2.0 or something. But no, this album has the argument in set that Aarab is far beyond that.

It makes me wonder, if Lex/Southside had the opportunities that Aarab and Clams had, what would happen? Without the input of producers who don't make their own music, like fucking Kanye, drowning Lex with operatic nonsense.

yeh i was thinking of posting that. its enjoyable, cool he saved that beat from being lost on necro. trying to think of another rapper whose used a style so obviously derived from Meth, but i cant.

i am quite feeling shabazz palaces. thought it was going to be corny hip hop for indie rock kids but i was very wrong.

So who's the best producers these days? I'm really liking Clams Casino and Araab Muzik (like many music geeks)

for those two specifically?
supa villain i mentioned on the strength of the rich boy mixtape 12 diamonds which i loved. the follow up i thought was poor.

ski im more ambivilent about. he produced curren$ys pilot talk 1 and 2. i thought he deserved a mention as hes so unique but personally its not a sound i love.

edit-that currensy beat was by dolobeats (in video description). its fucking Weird how these producers sell their music, his site is like sainsburys http://www.dolobeats.com/purchase_beats.php
