fuck. that's tragic. he was an amazing, hilarious writer. RIP

wow, that's a shame. only in his twenties.

Rip

Crazy

he had an amazing gift for seeing the humour in the tiniest of details

seeing twitter scuttlebutt that the cause was lean but don't know how true that is. but no matter how it happened, goddamn. fuckin 26.

Tragic. Rip

Any thoughts on the Bada$$, gents? I guess it's better than I expected but there's something about the blatant anchronisms that rubs me the wrong way. I mean, he would have sounded outdated in 1996, when he was one year old. The two "drum and bass" tracks are downright horrible, Teach Me in particular. Like Me is pretty nice though, I've got to admit.

badass is awful

ehhhhhhhhh, it's actually not too bad. And this is coming from someone who detests "real hip hop". It has a loose vibe and is pleasant enough. He can live.

no one should detest real hip hop

There were quotation marks involved. Please do weigh in on the album though.

the badass album is pretty enjoyable, barring the drum'n'bass stuff (heard that and was like O RLY? a roni size tribute?). even if the thinking behind the revivalist style can be reductive & disagreeable, i don't mind listening to the music itself.

speaking of revivalist-minded rappers, i feel like lupe fiasco has reached new levels of insanity and/or trolling with this track

it sounds like v fun goon stuff, interesting beat/production, also a trae the truth guest spot - but i figure since it's lupe, it has to be some sort of stealth attack on trap-rap or some similarly didactic shit...right?

def not sure who this dude lucci is (no susan) but im really feeling his tape 'wish me well'

couple cuts

kno no better - http://youtu.be/c1IUsrIb29Q

the Warm Brew album - Ghetto Beach Boyz is out

really great so far! cool dirtbag LA stoner vibes

Dom Kennedy guests and I guess if I had to compare it to anyone it would be him

i dunno, maybe a little more like street version of Pharcyde in places?

loving it

feeling this cover aesthetic

v. chill

this song really hits a nice nate dogg vibe

Warm Brew signed to Dom Kennedy's new label opm i think. They had another tape 'the ride' I liked alright a couple years back but this new one sounds better

ah ok yeah that makes sense then, def that same kinda lackadasical vibe i like about Dom

like ultimately i wanted to like Odd Future cuz of the dirtbag skater cali vibe but those kids are just too wound up for me, they like Eminem too much

Loving the Future & Zaytoven tape.

heard the new vic spencer tape, shit jams, gonna be a real deej/m@tt common ground record

its some authentic backpack lyrical shit in like ... redman / young zee type lane

hm.

out jan 30 i believe

cool i'll check that
whats your take on warm brew? could see u going either way

im digging it so far

just copped need to listen to more of it

http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/2tCCiE3QkE3PGy7uMztMmo

my lists not good enough 4 u any more eh?

yours is the gold standard. I just wanted something thread specific for ongoing reference in this and fifteen other threads.

ah cool, no mind. I'll check it for sure if you're gonna be dumping from other genres and such, for sure.

not sure my goon cru cred is up but that lucci tape is really blowing me away, honestly havent loved a prev unknowns tape or album this much since isaiah rashad last yr

good recommend there

new z-ro

spent some time w/ Warm Brew, f/w it heavily ... there was one song i liked slightly less, it was a lil too fake dilla for me

good z ro song.

that z-ro is v nice

love it

good stuff. this is last year but i wasn't on ilx to post it, joe jackson 'steppin out' sample + z-ro really goes full blast on his verse
