First thing I thought of was the feud between Lee Scratch Perry and several other producers such as Coxsone Dodd and Joe Gibbs. Here's a site that has a little bit of info and snippets: http://rougheryet.com/people-funny-boy/ From Lee's wiki: Perry's musical career began in the late 1950s as a recor...

Aside from a personal annoyance with the way he (and some people) pronounces certain words like errbody, this is pretty damn good IMO. This will be a on repeat for a while.

Album snippets sound really dope. This might make my top albums of the year judging from these alone. Track 11 was the only one I wasn't feelin.

Saw Washed Out last week in Denver. Was a little bit better than I expected. I was worried how chillwave would sound in a live setting. They had a bassist and a drummer so that helped make it more band-like. Was a pretty fun show, but really short. I think they did about 10 songs. Memoryhouse opened...

Not really feeling this album compared to their last. If I hadn't heard the debut I would probably like it a lot more. Maybe someday it'll grow on me.

Yeah it was posted in the Mello Music 2012 thread. Would love to get a CDQ of this track. For the most part I like Apollo Brown's production but a whole album might be a bit too much. As long as there's at least 5 really dope songs on this album I'll be happy.

Yeah after those last few collab albums I'm sketchy of the dude now too. Even the one with Insight I was like how can this be bad? The way he's going about these recent releases is mad weird. I'm guessing they're for the diehard fans only.

One thing about Asia is that he tried a multitude of things with his releases and his flow was always sick. He got the production right after a while though it took a minute. Working with Muggs and ALC are both good looks. Exactly. And he supposedly did a whole album with Pete Rock in 2009 called P...

Funny ass thread

Since you have a borkier list than mine no love for Phonte, 9th Wonder, J Rawls, Shinsight Trio, Random Axe, or even Phil Most Chill?

Nice to see some love for that Neek and Large Pro album though.
