wasnt feeling the j rocc album. sounded like a bunch of fake dj shadow tracks - not at all what i expected from j rocc as it just wasnt very funky really (liked play this too a bit though). the one sampling nas was great, and the very last track was great. the rest of it though, nah. sounded quite tired. shame as hes such a great dj.

Georgia Anne Muldrow's new album drops in March with Madlib producing. First time he's produced a female artist too, I believe.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:50 (twelve years ago) link
well he produced a few tracks for NuAmerykah pt. 1
still, this might be something to look out for!

actually went back to strawberry incense on pt 2 yesterday, rad.i heard the first song from this record & wasn't really feeling it, but'll listen to anything he's doing right now, so still optimistic

I probably should give Olesi some more listens: last time I played something from that album, I was v pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it
― incredible shrinking man on euphonium (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
Olesi's a wonderful album... in partic, Leroy.
― Harvey Weewax (stevie), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:12 (twelve years ago) link
I should have said this will be the first complete album Madlib has produced for a female artist. Lots of potential, hopefully.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
not to mention the best track on pt 2.
i wasn't too into that muldrow/madlib track i heard, but would kill for a full badulib lp.

GAM hasn't topped Olesi but she's done a lot of good work since. Keen for the new one.
― questino (seandalai), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
is it gonna be on stones throw? anyone know if its being PR'd in the UK?
― Harvey Weewax (stevie), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
not necessarily stones throw but that forge your own chains comp that now-again put out a while back is p incredible
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
Come to think about it, I don't think Georgia's new one is on Stones Throw.
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
haha, it isn't - just received a tweet saying she's not been on the label since 2006
― Harvey Weewax (stevie), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
Okay so I'm off by several years. Still looking forward to it. Ha!
― Frozen_Warnings, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 16:42 (twelve years ago) link
amazing cover, good beats, passable retro battle verses ... but where's the dolemite?
there's barely any dolemite here except some sampled grunts.
lame

has anyone heard thisi can imagine a karriem riggins beattape being just what i need but i don't know, & i feel like it's the kinda thing i'd have to live with rather than hear to suss out
― absurdly pro-D (schlump), Friday, 9 November 2012 06:53 (eleven years ago) link
it's as hit and miss and all over the place as you'd expect, enough amazing moments to make it a keeper though. k. riffins and tom tom are both awesome. lots of wonky moog lushness and a bob moog shoutout iirc

The Stepkids album really stands up...love the P-funk vocal stylings on 'Brain Ninja'...the track they released late last year sounds really promising too...

a little late, but I love this video, and song:

Really looking forward to this...loved the first album...'Sweet Salvation' and 'The Lottery' are sooo good
― The Pastiche Liberation Front (sonnyboy), Wednesday, 10 July 2013 07:44 (eleven years ago) link
diff between this and first album is like the diff between the b&w and colour scenes in wizard of oz

should I post this on the R&B thread?
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Tuesday, 3 September 2013 22:24 (eleven years ago) link
It's a grower, maybe. It's one of my favourites of the year.
― Ottworks SKG (stevie), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 06:47 (eleven years ago) link

really glad that stonesthrow is sometimes just putting out whatever the fuck they feel like now, kind of like numero group putting out those unwound reissues or whatever

New Karriem Riggins - Headnod Suite is good stuff

The Gabriel Garzon Montano album is so great - like weird early 70s soul (Shuggie Otis, Fulfillingness-era Stevie) shot through with some Til I Die-era Brian Wilson melancholy

totally agree and was wondering if i had started a thread for this guy yet. apparently not.
