Fantastic debut, for this day in age. Cohesive, realized, no filler.

But that "double album" tag is just an expression, right? Has anyone seen the physical media?

Lots of places! Any specific style or artist? Here's a magazine from Chicago: http://5chicago.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Here are some general sites with all kinds of electronica: http://www.electronic-battle-weapons.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http:/...

Looks like SpaceGhostPurrp is back.

Think the LP have anything to do with its conciseness? This whole album fits on a single vinyl record.

Also, not sure if this has been mentioned, but Spotify profiles Illmatic under its Landmarks series. Features interviews with Nas, Large Pro, Premier, Pete Rock and a Columbia exec.

Yeah, that's just the new model. Click-bait sites make the money; magazines are dead.

But if "47 pictures of kittens" subsidize this level of reporting, I guess I could live with that.

New Media is outta control!

Crazy jawn. Crazy Buzzfeed article. Didn't know they were capable of that.

I was listening to some old house tunes and heard a familiar giggle. Is this the source of the MMG sample?

Great recordings in here! Voted Love Minus Zero -- always been a favorite.

Would love to hear any of the other eras if you have sets to upload.

Cool tape. Thanks for the rec. Sounds like Dam Funk's lil brother.

How's this dude affiliated with Main Attrakionz?

Record can get a little tiresome, but this tape of the soul samples is killer.

That K Dot "freestyle" seems like a BET promo, tbh. High five, tho.

Anyway...does anyone know if NWTS will be released on vinyl?

So did SpaceGhostPurrp really retire? Or did he change his name and make Drake features?

I'd kill a man for that Walk the Dinosaur 12"

I just discovered these guys via this album stream (available for a week, I think), and I really dig it. They have a cool retro-soul sound, and they're on Stones Throw too, so nice work PB. This is their forthcoming album. If they have more music out there I would love to hear it. http://www.kcrw.co...

Such a loss.

FYI, his label is presently streaming Molina's entire recorded output from this site -- what an impressive collection of music. Gone too soon.

It's a little more upbeat than his previous work, if you're into that sort of thing.

I was always partial to this verse from the Apathy record.

The Junkyard calls, call the coroner
Undertake you, break you, Ultimate Warrior

The latest terrible Tyga song namechecks Ric Flair (because he's rare, Woo!). What are some better lines about wrestlers?

Did someone on here used to have this as their sig pic? I bought this at an antique store because it looked familiar. Anyway, it's a pretty random record, and I was wondering if anyone knew the back story.

Speaking of obscure, the G.O.O.D. Music record would've at least got a vote if it didn't leak out one single at a time.

And Blue Chips>Chandeliers.

I looked those up, too, but that's not the sample that's getting me. I'm talking about that orchestral riff that sounds like an outtake from an NFL Films session. It could even be an early disco record or a Ztrip mix or something. Maybe this isn't the right forum for that question, but it's driving ...

The string sample after 3:51 is killing me! Where do I know that from?

This is a classic glitch-hop (yeesh on that genre name) mix from 2006. Although I'm reluctant to consider anything that came out of Burning Man to be ahead-of-its-time, IMO this still sounds more innovative than anything TRAP.

Funny that Andre and Em are the touchpoints of this album, especially because it's true. That's what I like about GKMC. It's like the synthesis of all the modern styles of hip-hop without being showy. I get Andre's flow, Em's thoughtfulness and vulnerability, and also Em's diction (no racist). But i...

Here's a trap mix that got a lot of play this summer. I agree it's a weird genre, though, considering it sounds like what Colorado brahs and Burners listened to six years ago. http://www.electronic-battle-weapons.com/2012/08/03/tnght-the-full-uncensored-bbc-radio-1-mix/ TNGHT: The Full Uncensored BB...

If you have the leak maybe it's moot, but here's Backseat Freestyle.

I was wondering why no one was talking about this tape. Then I heard it.

Dude was reviewed in the New York Times yesterday. Never heard of him before that, but peace to Jon Caramonica. Sounded like a strange-ass show,though.

I just can't remember who that was.

Beatnuts!
