Despite Yak's sarcasm, $30 for a digital copy (pllus a CD?) especially of this kind of low-t output on Roc's part simply isn't a good value. If it was something akin to Reloaded I'd be able to logically justify the purchase in my own mind. Yes, apologies - was being a dick. But agree that Aesop Roc...

Do you think that's expensive? You've not really mentioned it.

Ehhh, this is pretty boring. Shame. Was hopeful given the amount of Daringer beats.

The Square (2017) - This film is a satire of the two most detestable kind of people: people who work with modern art and Swedes. So it should be right up my alley but I found the film to be a bit dull for the most part and a missed opportunity. Not unlike Ostlund's previous film Force Majeure. Both...

Listen to old stuff, listen to new stuff. Just amused by a man who looks to be in his mid-30's and dresses like he works in an IT department acting as some kind of arbiter of cutting edge taste.

I’m ashamed to admit that I agree with this.

Me too. Not ashamed, though.

Gone straight to Netflix over here. Shame as I quite wanted to see it on a big screen. Looks great.

Thanks! There must be... like... $30 worth of free music right here.

Nice. Got this downloaded ready for tomorrow. Did you quiz him on what Apathy said about his work ethic? Ap came up once and that was to talk about his new single he produced. Pete did the interview fresh off the plane after a week in Disney so he was exhausted to say the least. Nah - I mean what h...

For Marcberg & Reloaded, Joe LaPorta mastered it. Why'd you go a different direction for your subsequent projects. Yeah, I think that's a good way of putting it. What inspired the theme for Rosebudd's Revenge. Talk about Rosebudd Bitterdose and the influence on the album. Don't think anyone's broug...

i gotta find a way to word that properly. Yeah, definitely tricky. He clearly likes an analogue fuzz to things though. I'm thinking of that 76 video that looks like it was shot on Super 8, the samples from old movies - maybe ask if it was an intentional stylistic thing? affecting a lofi feel and st...

that really makes no sense man, you have to know how to master music, get it mixed and mastered by a real professional producer or your music sounds like shit like rocs, nobody gives a fuck what you buy... dre outsells roc every single day lol and his music sounds professional, no matter how SHITTY...

also anybody can make hip hop beats... not slighting what roc does because his ear for samples and gritty chops is truly impressive, but the reason dre can basically hum a beat, have it made, and get the bulk to all of the credit for it, is because of mixing and mastering... one of the true toughes...

:bork: may have helped him buy new Rollie today, I'm sure. But ultimately, this doesn't help sales. Maybe not, but probably helps him make more music in the future. Say 1,000 people preordered - that's between $25,000 and $30,000. Which is OK, but given that's probably 6 months work it's still not ...

This has leaked. I'm into it. Yvonne is doooope.

It pretty much is. But you could say that about a lot of hip hop artists I like. Do I need to own the entire Godfather Don discography? Probably not. He's not someone I really go to looking for a surprise tbh.

Not paying $30 for a digital album, no matter the artist. I've never spent a fuckin dime on any digital music. Fuck that shit. If I'm buying music it's music I actually own and don't need a fuckin cell phone, tablet, laptop, PC, watch, etc. to listen to. Yeah, state of your fucking house though fam...

Eh, I paid. Don't care about 'exclusivity' or whatever, but I wanted to hear the album so paid $25. I am aware that it'll appear on Spotify in a few days, but I don't mind supporting an artist that I like a lot. At the end of the day, it's not a lot of money, and I just stole I, Tonya and The Death ...

It's good. Vocals sound fine. Louder than last one.

I'll never forget the first time I heard Simon Says. Something inside me died that day. In the end, I can't blame him. He was just trying to get paid. Glad you posted that, 'cos I felt the same. Also the utter bemusement I felt whenever it was played in a club and people went absolutely bananas for...

Man, even them fools at Pitchfork have it.

It is excessive, but fuck it. Like I say, don't mind supporting an artist like that. Not like I'm gonna go to a Roc Marciano show and support that way. Or buy a headband with a rose on it.

Got my records and tapes down to zero. On the cusp of doing the same with my CDs.

I'll give it a listen. Why not.

didnt he produce most of Reloaded? 1. "Tek to a Mack" Roc Marciano 4:41 2. "Flash Gordon" The Alchemist 2:51 3. "Not Told" (featuring Knowledge Pirate & Ka) Roc Marciano 5:14 4.

Just preordered it. Don't mind chucking a few extra $ Roc Marciano's way.

Considered paying for this, given the amount of his music I've lifted for free, but £40 plus international shipping for an record that'll end up in landfill... Ehhhh. I'll hold on. http://hiphopa.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; usually post his stuff eventually.
