Haven't really kept up with this series, but always great to jump back into it. Cheers, great work.

Early impressions: Production, while still high quality, is starting to feel stagnant. And this is the best El-P has sounded amongst these projects. And like someone said above, we need a new El-P-produced Killer Mike project. Still probably prefer R.A.P. Music to anything that's come from the El-P/...

Mad I missed this. Had a buddy there giving me live updates. Had never been to one before this. Oh, well.

CSB alert. Between 2002-2003, this guy was a friend of a close friend's. They went to high school together. He took us to his parties in this studio his boss let him use that overlooked St. Patrick's Cathedral. The guy was socially awkward and tried in vain to kick it to numerous chicks that he invi...

I've also constantly bemoaned the fact that Soundcloud offers no mobile amenities or conveniences whatsoever to artists, even those with Pro accounts. And they've received enough complaints regarding their mobile platform but do nothing to address them. I got my first strike a couple weeks ago, and ...

DP like I'm new to the Internet.

I like the lack of chemistry, and I thought it was partially intentional. Liked how earnest it was, part of what surprised me.

Larson is basically the only actress who could've made this role believable from start to finish. Tough watch at times, but loved it.

I like this show especially when it isn't all jokes. Reminds me of the feelings I got watching Tell Me You Love Me, just not quite as morose.

I have never heard a House of Pain song other than Jump Around, but now I'm eager to investigate.

The Brain Austin Green nod reminds me of John Cena, who I'll add to my list. And while I'm on the topic of athletes, I'll also throw Shaq in the mix because Shaq Diesel is a 4.5-star album.

While he dips in and out of the Eminem influence all over the project, Acid Rap is a great listen.

Damn, my rambling is moot in the wake of your most recent edit.

When I mention trap, I'm not talking about the EDM scene, I'm talking about London, 808 Mafia, even Mike Will Made It, people who are responsible for chart-topping radio hits. If anything, the more insular side of EDM trap would support the notion that the beat scene is at war with radio and carving...

I guess I look at the beat scene influence as the grower in this case. There's this, Because the Internet, Goldlink's debut, Chance's more recent work, Vic Mensa's work, the direction taken thanks to Soulection and similar outlets. I feel like the beat scene-as-backdrop is coming into prominence, an...

Wyclef (circa The Carnival).
Pharrell (circa In My Mind).
Magoo (circa Welcome 2 Our World).

EDIT: Didn't feel sacrilegious enough.

Ice T.

There is this widening gap between the further exploration of this lo-fidelity, jazz-influenced, no-holds-barred approach to production and the pop-friendly, southern-influenced, everyone's-from-Atlanta trap boom, and it's like everything falls somewhere on the ph scale that's got its bookends entr...

it's crazy how influential flying lotus (via dilla) has become I think this is one of the most cemented observations to come from this record and everything that's happened in the past few years. There is this widening gap between the further exploration of this lo-fidelity, jazz-influenced, no-hol...

The cynic in me doesn't even want to give this album a chance because of all of the literally unblemished praise it's receiving. The praise this album gets reminds me of the praise that came along with MBDTF, except we knew what was coming as the songs surfaced, the role call surfaced, etc. GOOD Fri...

I'm totes fucked. Work, the baby, etc., blahblahblah... Made nothing. Ditto what dead poet said, I'll try again in later rounds, take a zero in round 1.

Holy cow, that looks like a wildly uninspired performance.

Some old shit I uploaded to feel productive.

Probably won't submit something until 11:50 PM Friday night. But I'll be there.

And I'd bet in Sound Lab fashion, we'll have a different album for each round.

Only reason I vote for tallies is because (1) it keeps everybody involved until the end, even if you don't have a shot, and (2) it gives everyone the opportunity to weigh in on the whole collection. Also, can we list the deadline as a date instead of 10 days from when you posted this? I'm bad at cal...

I'm in.

I know it takes much longer, but I'll stick with breaks/drumsounds from records and cheesy ass keyboards. Mainly because I love the process of using 1-5 different records to create a custom 'drumkit' that sounds cohesive. Pitching, filtering, resampling, playing with the ADSR and layering.. Adding ...

I dropped the ball on the last one, but I was like the idea of a battle coming around the corner.
