Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
plus how he stopped rapping almost seened scripted. i'd have to go back and watch other performances by other rappes, but i find it really strange how it sounded like he was in the middle of a written verse and all a sudden stops, wonder kills the beat, and sway and crew know to congratulate him immediately. usually people wait a second or two "oh, that's it? damn". but not in this case.Balzac wrote:wonder went easy on him, but that was decent
this just seemed scripted. i've never seen such a long intro for an artist from sway before. i dig droog but i think this was all set up heavily. who the hell does his PR anyhow? i bet their rates just went up.

Sacha Jenkins or some media/journo type who is obviously working to a pretty specific game plan. Some other rappers would do well to try it.sleazy_j wrote:who the hell does his PR anyhow? i bet their rates just went up.

My thoughts, feelings, and emotions about his debut:

This year personally sucked for a plethora of reasons; among the least of them was a wanting for words. Appellation is all-encompassing in 2014: Rap Music, Cable News, Talk Radio, Daytime Dishes, Nighttime Gabfests, Burgeoning Podcasts. Your Old Droog is on a pronounced yo-yo of a frequency beaming from a deceptively dwarf-like planet. It's like Dennis Quaid jawing to Jim Caviezel, but stranger because Your Old Droog isn't even my dad, yo.
Utilizing argot in a surgical manner not unlike that of Denzel Washington with a sawed off, double barrel shotgun aiming at a helplessly outmatched Ethan Hawke in "Training Day", Your Old Droog's self-titled debut is a precise, parabolic prism that cuts harder than James Cann's perpetually erect Diamond Nipples (seriously: duke's nipples are ROCK HARD in every film he's starred in during the course of his adult life).
A nihilistic non sequitur or metaphor-on-methamphetamines: Your Old Droog is never not on hit. Hard-charging, hand-wringing headnodders are Y.O.D.'s strongest of his strong suits: "Nutty Bars", "Loosie In The Store With Pennies", "Droog's Anthem", and "Gunsmoke Cologne" scream NYC at its finest and most furious. If Y.O.D.'s pen prowess isn't enough proof of his potency, he also had a heavy hand in producing his HEAVY FLOW premiere.
While I share an infatuation with synthesizers that would probably wind up in the form of multiple temporary restraining orders were they human beings, I can't tell you what a breath of uncontaminated air it is to truncate down as opposed to turnin' up. Cliche though it may be the crackling of a slimy guitar is and always will be superior to the blare of a boring, bloated preset. The end result is an audio aesthetic that is as audacious as its vocal prognosticator.
At a mere twenty-five-years-of-age Your Old Droog has an abundance of time to stretch his legs and rack up an impressive catalog. Hearing him over any one of NYC's nest of ace producers is hardly a leap. And though production has seemingly been at the forefront of Rap Yore & Popularity for a spell, it's duck soup to accept the notion that bar-busting baritones in the vein of Y.O.D. are starting to reverse that trend. A front-runner for the year's best...no doubt.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
Got around to listening to the LP. Which is basically just the EP with what 5 more songs, but still...
All Nas comparisons aside, this kid's a fucking monster.

Love the old loops he flips. I haven't heard that one since Dre sampled it on Nigga Wit A Muthafuckin Gun
Does anyone know who does his beats? I didn't see his any production credits on his album on itunes and he's never mentioned that he made the beats himself or anything like that.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
its just weird.
Droog's hip hop is amazing. but it's like built off the Ghost of Nasty Nas. Part of me feels like it's one long Funny or Die skit conducted by Nasir and this genius Russian weirdo
I want to love it, but I'm pure when I listen to it.
rap is so fucking out of control

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
^^^ me too.
Couple songs here and there, and one or two of the early 90's albums. But I never went crazy for them.
I did see all 3 of them perform my favorite song from them though, "Intergalactic", and I feel blessed for that. Peace to them. But I won't lie either and feign revisionist fandom.
I liked that era of Beastie Boys though.

Re: Your Old Droog (Y.O.D.) - Nutty Bars
Stop being a faggot. Everyone stopped going on about the Nas thing ages ago. Dude can rap well, which you're always complaining is lacking these days.
I think DJ Skizz does a lot of his beats.
