New Rap

[Pandiculate]

new obsession

He looks a bit like Gucci. Overweight, pre-jail, insane Gucci (the best Gucci). Interesting how messy that sounds, like he's not even trying to stay on beat (am sure he is though). Proper regional accent music.

Woah these are fuckin great. Good find

Sort of feel that this is the record I've been hoping they'd both make for a while.

'Don't know if you get the Cabbages newsletter WebE? He just made this late entry album of the year. A correct opinion in my view. Here's the list: https://cabbages.substack.com/p/the-best-hip-hop-albums-of-2020

I knew I was out of touch but I've only heard one other thing on that list.

A bit more on BRASS - it's so sonically strong. It seems like for the last few years there's been a resurgence in the aesthetics of 70s black consciousness in music with stuff like Angele Bat Dawid, Damon Lock and others. This record seems to extend that and combine it with the next level lyricism of Woods. I feel like it could be a Don Cherry record of something they're rapping over at moments. Muted trumpet and woodblok drums on the second track and then that flip into a r n' b vocal? Wild.

Glasshand posted it ten minutes ago. I asked him what he liked about it and he got scared and deleted it. That's the backstory there.

 

[glasshand]

lol

i deleted it cuz i saw it was posted on the first page.

it's the sad emo melody loop rap i like the most i think

I like the floatiness. I didn't like it when corpsey posted it. Him posting made it rubbish but it was alright when you did it.

I've noticed in rap music above all other genres the nerds have this weird possessiveness, which is additionally sharpened by a desire to appear as hard as rappers are supposed to be.

Maybe it's reflective of the nature of the genre itself, with all its boasting and shitting on people jacking your swag etc.

Laughing at someone for only just finding out about XXXX is the nerdy blogger equivalent of laughing at someone wearing a second hand Rolex.

 

[Corpsey]

OTOH maybe it's just that I've not been a nerd about other genres for a long time and this is just universal nerd shit.

 

[luka]

David Drake is the textbook example of that. He's hilarious.

 

[glasshand]

this one was my sad/emo rap go to track for a while this year
