^ Extract from the interview with Damon:
"I'm tired of people making songs like 'Niggas in Paris'. You got millionaires like Kanye and Jay-Z who still have the nerve to use that kind of word and have the whole world running around talking about niggas in Paris. What are you doing? You got millions, fool. What are you doing making my race look bad? You don't ever hear people say 'Kikes in Paris', 'Chinks in Paris', 'Wetbacks in Paris'? So why do you degrade my race and my people? I'm tired of it, I'm not degrading my black people in my music, I won't. I won't be like those other coons doing it right now."

some hipster dude told me it's better than snoop's first album to which my response was LOL
― the late great, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link
still it made me excited to hear it
did he actually use the phrase "snoop's first album"
― ☞ (brimstead), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:07 (ten years ago) link
actually, i think he said "early snoop"
― the late great, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:24 (ten years ago) link
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
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 December 2013 21:40 (ten years ago) link
yo, you guys heard snoop's FIRST album?

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

I thought Quick retired
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 5 December 2013 02:11 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Al He Miola (Spottie), Thursday, 5 December 2013 06:10 (ten years ago) link
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
― lex pretend, Thursday, 5 December 2013 09:46 (ten years ago) link
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
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 5 December 2013 14:36 (ten years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 5 December 2013 14:38 (ten years ago) link
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"!!!!

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
― My Chief Keef Keef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 5 December 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link
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

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
