Angel Haze

someone please tell me what song the melody at the end of 'jungle fever' is quoting/biting please?

nobody? it's killing me.

the Stevie Wonder song of the same title

oh wait, nm

All im gonna say about angel haze v flockaveli is that at least waka never made me listen to a Kool AD verse

oh duh, of course that's it, thx rev

"eg "lol @ your opinion, but we don't need to justify or explain ours because EVERYONE KNOWS IT TO BE SO"

― lex pretend"

well what you want me to say when you're comparing an half good mixtape from a promising rapper with a genre defining classic rap album dropped on a major label ?

lol @ the idea that the major label bit matters

ideally what i'd want you to say is WHY the mixtape is only "half good" rather than "genre defining classic" and WHY flockaveli is vice versa but i'm not hoping for that

Why should i explain things everyone knows ? I believe you're aware that a big part of today's rap music is based on the lex luger sound (and that flockavelli has some of the best representative songs of that sound).

& Why should i explain things already said before in this topic ? i think people here already explained what are the flaws of this mixtape (bad execution with deep songs & some bad productions)

i look at this way: flockaveli was waka cashing in all of his potential, reservation is not that 'moment' for angel haze. her flockaveli is in the distance.

is 'flockaveli' really the standard by which all other new rap albums are judged?

no, deej just brought it up because they got the same scores on pitchfork

as i said at that point flockaveli and reservation are so different that direct comparisons are kind of pointless, so my argument isn't so much about pitting them against each other as against the primacy of "objective" metrics among rap listeners (over eg personal response), which sisilafami again exemplified there ("influence", "execution" et al). when i say that the two are on a par, it's pretty simple - these are two of the rap albums i've jammed most and return to again and again of their respective years.

i agree w/j0rdan about flockaveli representing an artist at his peak though, and it's certainly more "important", but "important" isn't the only metric to judge music by.

...but we're talking about numerical scores bro

obsessing over numerical scores is even worse?

the primacy of "objective" metrics among rap listeners (over eg personal response), which sisilafami again exemplified there ("influence", "execution" et al). when i say that the two are on a par, it's pretty simple - these are two of the rap albums i've jammed most and return to again and again of their respective years.

then instead of pointing out things explained before, i simply should've said that i find flockavelli much much better, that i'll listen to it 10 years from now and that i don't know if i will do the same with the AH mixtape in a few months.

i have a personal bias in favor of nonchalant rappers v. superhypertechnical wizards

see yeah i forgot about the booster mentality round here that would blank out everything lol about that post to focus on the one feebly spinnable thing

u guys are super weird

i really wouldnt have expected mistajam to pick up on her but it does make sense actually

the uk is pretty much d-40's nightmare zone

xp Epworth is kind of harmless I guess, hating on him is like bitching about Coldplay at this point. dunno who the other guy is.

A member of One Direction. Specifically one of the inbred toothy ones and not the hot one.

Played her first headline show in NYC, which streamed live and is archived.

She killed it, more or less. Way more stage presence than I anticipated - her youtubes were always captivating but in a bedroom art sort of way. She owns the stage, though. More convinced now than ever that this is her moment.

also, solid interview - http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2012/08/angel_haze_interview.php

apparently she was studying neuroscience before taking a break to throw her hat in the ring musically.

so annoyed i missed her london show due to being at the tory conference >:(

She's playing Koko on Saturday.

*attempts to rearrange entire life*

(how was the gig on mon?)

So pleased that this is a single. One of my absolute favourite tracks of 2012.

I adore her.

couldn't listen more than once. pretty much leaves you reeling

I had the same reaction. There's a kind of resolution at the end but up till that point…

this is harrowing and amazing

it is odd to hear the "Cleaning Out My Closet" beat and to be impressed by the narrative being told over it, though

man this is fucked up, and so fucking brave

Oh man

new mixtape drops in 20 hours

http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/19362/angel-haze-classick.html

finally up on this. v. impressed.

her Roman's Revenge is really good.

it seems that many rap nerds have not picked up on this

mixtape

http://www.livemixtapes.com/download/19362/angel-haze-classick.html

Yeah. That's a great tape.

I've played "Werkin' Girls" 18 times in 10 minutes.

Haha yeah I think I did the same thing when i first heard it.
