thread of DâM-FunK

"10 west" is just the dopest song

7 Days of Funk == luuuuush

Dam Funk is the shit. i'm sure it will be uncool to like him on ILM soon enough.

pipecock was right i havent checked for him since 2010 :(

not sure if i'll ever listen to another dam funk record but i will always have time for toeachizown

oh guys the Steve Arrington collab is brilliant, this new one with Snoop isn't as brilliant but still sweet, i could live in Damon's woozy head-world forever tbh

streaming on npr

this is pretty great

some hipster dude told me it's better than snoop's first album to which my response was LOL

still it made me excited to hear it

did he actually use the phrase "snoop's first album"

actually, i think he said "early snoop"

it's definitely the best thing (at least that i've heard) that snoop has done in awhile, just because i think dam-funk's sort of drifting clouds of synth funk sort of fit what snoop can do now, just be a sort of amiable presence and do some nice sing-songy routines and stuff

it's real dreamy sounding

yo, you guys heard snoop's FIRST album?

he produced a snoop dogg album?

5 years from now people will be talking shit in this thread

there's still time people

it really seems like a natural pairing, psyched to listen.

ugh not feeling

snoop just needs to make an album with quik or dre or just retire already

I thought Quick retired

he should go play golf with quik

I think he coaches youth football

This is kinda low key nice. Nothing v exciting tho. Every song holds the same tempo, pretty weak drums too. The synths sound super. idk just made me want to listen to the new Dom Kennedy album which I think is in the same lane but much better.

yeah, this starts really well (certainly hearing snoop sound fantastic and urgent in 2013 is a shock, anyway) and ends low-key nice. pleasant little curio to end the year with, i'm happy with it

like deej my 2010 love for d-f has otherwise completely and inexplicably dissipated

I guess DF was always just kind of a dreamy, vibey thing without a lot of substance to me...cumulus clouds of funk, this didn't really feel that different

Always felt like he needed an MC or at least someone else to bring his music into a bit more focus, so I'm looking forward to this.

didn't really like "Faden Away." some moments on this are a little better than that but overall this album is a mild disappointment. snoop's voice doesn't sound very interesting. also they took all the funkiest parts out of "Feels So Real"!!!!

yeah basically the trick lasted for about a year or two for me, scratched an itch, didn't really move anywhere

i think i'm benefitting from only having listened to one of those early mixtapes quite a bit and i kind of forgot so i never really burned out on it

I can totally see that, I'm sure this stuff is as good as the earlier stuff, which seems like the nature of his work in general. there's no risk of failure, really

Its all a little too comfortable for repeat listening.

i'm all about comfort and repetition tbh

then enjoy!

i agree his aesthetic is pretty narrow and unchanging but the guest vocalists he's used add a little salt to the mix and i think the whole thing is designed to create a certain woozy flow as discussed upthread, but you cd also mix this with the harder lockgrooves of classic G-Funk if you wanted
