Having a real hard time distinguishing sarcasm from honest praise in this thread. Its a mess.

CZARFACE is the best album this year!

wicked, I think you're logged in under the wrong name....

who would top your own list?

The most shocking part of that interview was to learn he's a big fan of Kweli, Common, Lupe Fiasco, et al.

Oddisee has been getting heavy replay so far....went with that.

This is probably my favorite solo work from oddisee, and I was already a big fan. Great stuff.

Loki wrote:it's a classic, and i really don't understand how anyone can claim the album's lacking lyrically

Agreed. Edan holds his own lyrically, and the guest spots by Mr. Lif, Insight, Percee P, and Dagha were all spot on.

Really enjoyed my viewing. And for those involved in the movie and beyond...as a fan, many thanks for the blood, sweat, and tears you've put into your craft.

Classic. Cohesive, styled out, self-made, sounds incredible. Still one of my favorites of all time. Saw Edan and Paten open for Shadow and Chemist... couldn't have asked for a more perfect pairing. Edan's like the Rodney Mullen of rapping during his live shows. I somewhat recently moved to Seattle ...

i wasnt too enthused after Grief dropped... just didnt feel the beat at all... but the album? DOPE... grief has grown on me after hearing it on the album i love that its so short... been on repeat for most of the day and as said the guest spots are dope too.. definitely prefer this LP over Doris :c...

The Kool Keith/L'Orange and Open Mike Eagle/Oddisee tracks are both

starks wrote:yeah he's rapping really well but that beat SUCKS just like that call of duty one did.... i'm scared for the album

album? I wouldn't worry....its pretty much detoxed at this point.

mellomusic is really putting out quality albums at a crazy pace. Looking forward to this one quite a bit.

Jesus Mike, you went off there. Flawless stuff. Big fan of Oddisee's backdrop too.

I want to like this much more than I do, and there are some redeeming elements...but Ghost really is just a shell of what he used to be. Its like Jordan with the wizards

Its a shame too because I've been wanting BADBADNOTGOOD to drop a collaborative LP with an emcee. I'll still check this out but with modest expectations.

dude, praising Vordul's solo career and hyping Can Ox sans El-P in 2015 is the epitome of trolling

next time....on serial....

Is this Meyhem/Buckwild album really this good or is the bork contingency skewing this poll? I didn't even check for it. Definitely should've -- I'm a fan of both artists -- probably misread Buckwild as Buckshot and kept it moving. Surprised I'm still the only vote for Blueprint. Didn't vote for it...

Dope. Whatever this guy has in store for the album....I'll be excited to hear.

I remember being impressed by his verse on that lyricist lounge track with KRS and last emperor. That said, his verse on RTJ2 is one of the low moments of the album for me. He lost me as soon as he said "Its De La on the cut"

Albums: RTJ - RTJ2 MadGibbs - Piñata HMM - Bestiary Slept on: Diamond District - March on Washington The 1978ers (yU & Slimkat) - People of Today Souls of Mischief & Adrian Younge - There Is Only Now (or just straight up AOTY candidate if not considered slept-on) Disappointing: The Roots - And Then ...

One of my top 5 albums from 2000-2010, so yea, a personal classic. I still listen to this album probably 2 or 3 times a year which is way more than most albums from this era.

Current:

Kendrick Lamar
Aesop Rock
Killer Mike
Open Mike Eagle (yea you)
Elucid



90s:

Andre 3000
Ghostface
Biggie
Pharaohe Monch
Black Thought

except for the 90's...

slightly off-topic, but Mello Music really has a way of keeping projects on the DL until the promo (artwork, tracklisting, release date) is ready in full force

I almost forgot about this thread. Can someone paraphrase the last 177 pages for me?

Not to feed the fire (but I'm going to).....Mindbender, have you ever listened to this song before?
