@@romilrh Yes you are! Produced the first Gorillaz album, as well as both Deltron 3030 and the Dr. Octagon Records. He's done work with Tribe (b-side remixes) and is half of HBMS with Prince Paul. He also has a fantastic underrated album with Mike Patton, Jennifer Charles and Kid Koala called Lovage. He's been everywhere, yet no one knows his name. I think these days he does movie soundtracks.
Everyone sayin this album needs to be on Vinyl, they're right, but you know where else it needs to be? Tape! The bassiness of the album, the abrasive high-ends, the dark, airy feel. Shit'd sound amazing on a good ole cassette.

Shout out to Denver! Lol. Track is hot and these brothers are at the top of my list. But I still want something more from them! More soulful beats and organic flow. It’s sort of feels like they just stuck to a 4/4 rhyming pattern and a beat that repeats over and over. Bring the real instrumentation back to hip hop! Lol. One love. Haven’t subscribed to hear album but maybe I will soon. I know they’re efforts are to keep control of music and profits so I support that!

Top tier, high level rap. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥
For anyone wondering, the beat is a sample from the 1978 Hindi film 'Don.'
That bollywood sample though! Madlib came thru 🙌🏽

Madlib flipped the old "Don" theme and made it sound like an old Blaxploitation film score. Genius!

[Intro: Yasiin Bey]
Haha
Bey

Bey
Yasiin, Yasiin, Yasiin
[Verse 1: Yasiin Bey]
Sharper than a straight razor shave
Cooler than a steel, I put the blade to a point
It's worldwide currency, they wishing well coins
It's high fidelity, bang, they speaker leak noise
And at a Chuck D level, y'all at petite level
How a gun do a chopper spread? Love beat devils
Walk soft and carry the cro magnum
Shots club and smash 'em, they show up any fragment
Breathe fire, spit smoke, blow away ashes
Smarten up, dumbass, this ain't bump class
Atmosphere above that, you can't touch that
Rеal, forever real, thеy can hate it or love that
It's bigger than hip-hop, hypes, and wicked government
Brooklyn award-winning, a not-give-a-f*ckingest
You in it for the most sucker-ish, dummiest
No getting love in this, some real riders up in this beyotch
Who's more bitch than bitch Reebox
They arms can't beyotch the base of a three-ox
These dudes dope dealing's detox
Turkey went clean up your act if you act like crack, ha
Hop in Aladdin, I will never be that
I got the right and exact and a trap for the rats
The liars and the saps, the posers and the hacks
Laying my mainline, your spine goes snap, Bey
Vanglorious, phantasmagoria
Crack-panned all y'all, each and every all of you
Whoever you can call, then you better start calling 'em
Then call the coroner, white drapes for all of you's
Greatest ain't greater than, strongest ain't strong enough
Biggest ain't bigger than a real small portion of
The legendary trilotary top rank officer
Get lost, big boss, this boss the boss of you
Chip on your shoulder, I'ma knock it right off you
Bey, torpedo, blast match the ego
Sniper on the range, sniper bang 'nuff, reload
RPG to give free power people, brrap
One clip in they evil, done with
Talking like they want trouble and really want ****
They probably want trick like a skier on the strip
Get money and your Mrs. never (Hey) kill a pimp
Lie out my rhetoricals and they ain't said *
You can talk 'til you die and you ain't said this
Unless you repeating the phrase of y'all beesiest
Seventeen verse of the twenty-fifth Ezekiel
Leakiel, let us pray 'fore they soldier these suckers
[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
Aight, I'm back motherfucker
Yeah, January, February, marching with the people
'April, may I have a Black Star sequel?' said the black caucus
June, July, the black August
September to October you find you a Black Thought is
November when we come for that office
The black POTUS
The black lotus flower fall in December, go ask the weatherman
Colder than the winter wind, day after December 10
We celebrating Yasiin birthday
Brooklyn, New York City, that's the scene of my birthplace
I'm so on top of this bop with the metropolitan frolic with the populous topplin' all the charlatans
My songs is knowledge to heroes that need honoring
A promise we demolishing all Confederate monuments
I'm noticing how these Nazis become Congressmen
It's softer than some Moccasins and way faker than collagen
It doesn't matter if these scholars have got doctorates
They're hiding behind fake names like Tommy Robinson, I'm bombing 'em
Plus the sleeve is monogram if I die and come back and perform as a hologram
Can't tell if it's a boy or a girl, get a sonogram
My name is floating up and down the ave like dollar vans
Fam, my syrup is maple leaf
Eatin' falafel in Morocco and packin' straight hasheesh
Pipe is a pass and I'm stabbing these fake emcees
It's sharp and making 'em bleed, got half of them make believe
I come from a place of peace but they only respect the violence
You get arrested for domestic silence
Rappers is vampires, we the Lycans
Even the Vikings know magic and some tarots from the conquered Alliance
Bring it together like a hyphen, just liars testing my patience
Never stop because my parents ain't never had a vacation
Relocating, looking at places along the ocean
Smoking trees and the trees as shady as rapper motives, calamities
Flash catastrophe, add an apostrophe, your whole philosophy is mediocrity
Atrocities committed in the name of owning property, monopolies
That's my hypotheses
Impressive!!
