Lol sex

Damn Rod used to go crazy with the zoom
What a great mentality ken has had for so long. He said he listened to it the first time and didn’t get it and it was really weird, so his first instinct was to do research because he knew “one listen isn’t enough for something that’s different” and it’s insane how many people don’t have that
damn, didn't know Ken was into avant-garde jazz like Ayler and Dolphy. have new found respect for him.
Whoaaa close ups
This was one of the best albums I've heard Ever!
I just wish this was one of those 20+ minute episodes.
Track 2 slams in the whip soo good.
Bruh, the bass on like all of the songs on the album are ridiculous. This is the definition of riding music Myke!
Still the most innovative hip hop album of the past 15 years easily
'you just kanye'd the fuck out of me' hahaha
Fans of Madvilliany are going to love this shit.
This is probably one of the best videos you guys have done. I thought each person explained their position well and, more importantly, clearly. Then, the conclusion at the end sorted everything out even further and left me with a clear view of what you guys thought of the album. but when c-town said he didn't smoke weed, i think i had like an arrhythmia or some shit ahah out of pure astonishment. how does mike c-town not smoke weed?!
This is the guy from Digable Planets? That is sick love Reachin' and Blowout Comb. Glad most of the guys like this, unlike Death Grips however heheheheh.
Feefo was speechless lol.
I subscribed off the strength of this one video. I love the idea that you guys flesh out every point and the mention of Def Jux was definitely appreciated. Let me get to the other videos!
What's so hard to understand about Shabazz? The lyrics are pretty straight forward.
i fuckin' loved this album. the jazz and soul influences really caught my ear. this is definitely one of my favorite releases of the entire year
Can confirm this is a good album to smoke weed to
Discovered it yesterday while high. Excellent!
THANK YOU. I DO LISTEN TO THIS SHIT IN MY CAR. I’m glad myke said that but it’s such a old video how has It not come up again? Literally EVERYTHING feefo says “doesn’t bump in the whip” I play in the whip
This is now 2024 and I recently heard the track "shine a light"...that track just has me emotional every time I hear it.
As soon as i found out that Ish aka Butterfly was involed, i copped.
Nice review guys. I listened to it and expected that type of sound and it delivered, one of my top albums of the year so far. The lyrics weren't on the level of the production, but it did the job and fitted perfectly with the instrumentals, Butterfly's voice tied good with them, too. Overall he did good. And yeah Kinge picks some weird times to listen to albums, this and the Canibus one, lol.
Stringer Bell with the dramatic look away.
For any psychedelic people out there. This is the best album to trip to. It sounds like the perfect musical representation of LSD.
Something to consider is this a classic since its approaching 10 years this year?
Still a solid review of a classic
I love how the actual album is playing quietly in the background
I really loved a lot of the strange things this album integrated into the music like the time stretched vocals on the opening track, which really caught me off guard. Im really digging it now though. Great review guys!
I don’t know HOW I never saw this, I saw fantano review it a million times the year it dropped, I listened to it a million times I really don’t know how this wouldn’t of come up in my recommendations I could’ve sworn I was watching DEHH at this time maybe I started more consistently in 2012? Because I know the first video I ever saw was their Section 80 review, but I think it probably took a little longer before I really started consistently keeping up with them. Either way I love this album I’m hyped to see this review
Also I really hate this, but I first heard this album back in high school and I remember I had heard it was super cool and spacey so I got really high at lunch and I remember we were watching some shitty movie in class and I was just listening to the album. But this was way back when I actually would get high, I don’t have those kind of experiences anymore but I just remember this album really blowing my mind I mean it still does sober, and now I have a better knowledge of avant garde hip hop and hip hop in general so I understand what’s going on and why I like it, but I didn’t back then. I just remember the first two tracks totally mesmerizing me I remember just listening to this album on repeat that entire day. It was one of those albums where I don’t even know why but I’d just want to hear it again. The rapper also has a thing a lot of my favorite rappers have, where they might get dismissed by some like logic or j Cole stan Bc his voice and the slang he’ll use can come off like something those fans wouldn’t think is “conscious” but when you actually pay attention to what he’s saying it’s wayyyyy deeper and better written then those guys like he actually gives a realistic personality filled view of the hood from the inside, and then he used his knowledge and experience with that to make unique observations. He’s not doing any bullshit about mumble rappers, he’s not doing boring lazy trap shit, but he’s also definitely not rapping traditionally. But he doesn’t have to I think it’s good he was in a more standard hip hop group in the 90s because if anyone thinks “this guy is weird he can’t even flow normally” he’s already proven he can
I love DEHH and honestly I should've been watching your videos month ago when I'd first heard of you guys. Keep keeping it real!!
Also props for the Antipop Consortium comparison!
Ohh yeah¡!!!!!!!!
this album is unbelievably good in my opinion. comparable to nothing.
100% on point with everything I liked and disliked about the album. Initially I didn't get it, I was more prepared for rhyme oriented hip hop, but on my second time through I thought of it more as an instrumental album much like a darker Clams Casino. The lyrics added another rhythm to the beat, but also a texture that made it easier to listen too. After my experimental side got familiar with the beats, I started digging the rhymes.
WOW. You guys are the best music reviewers on RUclips.
brings me back to when hip hop was fearless and could go anywhere and do anything.
Bruh this was recent as fuck
dark field what do you mean?
This actually my favorite album of 2011 when it comes to music general. It was near flawless for me, I recommend it to anybody who's up for trying something new.
I love this show because it reminds me stupid of me and my cousins, the way they bitch at each other for interrupting and other stupid shit like that haha it's great, it's real shit.
So glad you guys did this review...it is a challenging listen and to me thats one of the first things that drew me in...the def jux analogy is a good one...i remember first hearing Funcrusher Plus and then the Cold Vein and i thought wtf is this? Now those two releases are up there with my favourites...lol i dont smoke weed anymore either but this is definitely a buzzy album for sure...thanks again for the review guys!
One of the things I appreciated about this video were your references to other sources for comparison (Dolphy/Ayler). I'm sure they would consider it quite a compliment. It's obvious that SP are heading [farther] into uncharted waters in this record.
This is some very intriguing music. I am still learning about Shabazz Palaces as we speak.
what on earth are those camera angles
also i love how dehh used to review outside in front yards lmao
I WAS LISTENING TO THIS ON MY STUDIO BEATS ASWELL AND DAYUM IT WAS KNOCKING HARD! FUCKING MIND BLOWING AND GREATLY CREATIVE.
this cinematography in the old vids experimental as fuck.
@smokyp3nguin What are you talking about? Condescending towards who?
Can you guys recommend a couple a tracks in your videos like theneedledrop?
now why there isnt a videogame critics group that 's so well like ya'll, keep doin ya'll thing god bless
just subbed you guys based on this one review, inspirational stuff!
Props to Ishmael aka Butterfly Jones
Nice review. Great input from C-Town
@mykectown I"m kind of glad yall review an artist like K-the-I??? style of music
hip-hop real raw lyrical Dope music awesome Cool good Listen lyrical
LOVE SHABAZZ PALACES
@Gabiyoh Hahahah! Do I look like a weed head or something? Bruh, I'm good with being a functional alcoholic.
It is definitely hip-hop, but very much outside of the box in all the right ways.
Shabazz Palaces is dope. It's a spaced out hip hop album. Definitely worth the listen.
I would like to hear y'all review the new Mood album "live again". Mood is Dante, Main Flow, and Jahson from Cincinnati. They done stuff with hi-tek and kweli. the album dropped a few days ago and the link to the free download is on their channel "moodhiphop"
Mood Doom is incredible incredible album... Dilla remix incredible incredible Incredible!!!
4 of out 8 songs are awesome.Templar and switchblades crazy.
Great review guys, as usual very entertaining.
But I must know, did you guys bail on reviewing Death Grips?
The record label definitive jux lead by El-P the reason why he mentions them is because of there different approach to hip-hop with having a experimental old school hip-hop meets electronica type production to and mostly a different take on hip-hop throughout the whole label.
I'm guessing Feefo is meaning Yeah You. Those drums are badass
Very interesting review!
@encdee Yeah, on first listen it was a little off-putting. But the second the beat for Collude/Intrude came in, I lost it. That album was so important to me. It totally changed the way a lot of people saw how hip hop could be made. From a rhyme standpoint and from a production standpoint. "The independent representation of what MCs can and should be. Judge prosecution defendant and jury." Yeah, man, I don't think anything is really touching that album when it comes to originality.
cameraman is zooming in and out waaay too much, but the review is good!
A good artist that use this music is Acid Reign, K-The-I???, Cadence Weapon, Radioinactive, and other artist who uses music in a weird and distort way and I love it all the way it's hip hop I like to called acid hop or space hop to me cause it seem to be influence of how future music will sound like and it's only cool if we listen to that kind of music now and get it over with cause it seem to be the next best thing and I want it to be too lol
great review- there are 4 video reviews of this instant-classic album up on youtube and this and the needledrop one really do it justice. yea. good job. for anyone that's feelin' digable and shabazz, check out "cherrywine" which was ish's band in 2003 they released a classic lp called "bright black" with a strong funk/electric influence. check it
it took me a lot of listening to co flows Funkcrusher Plus to from thinking " wtf, does el-p not know what a fucking metranome is? and what the fuck is all this gibberish? " to " aww shit! these fuckin dudes put it down! no one is fucking with this!" now I get alot of the lyrics and the production is fuckin insane (in a great way)
anytime man
HELL YEAH!!! GOT THE ALBUM two weeks ago!! fuckin amazing!! I say
This was like Death Grips, but easier on the ears
Thanks to this video I found my 2013s Tribe called Quest
Idk how they talked with Rod walking around the whole time lmao
Classic
Like El-P's production?! I'm getting it.
Sounds like I need to give this one another go, guess it went over my head a bit.
can you guys review more of this style of hip hop?
I would totally buy and listen to the album cause I love like electronica music and or synth music fuse with rap I think when I get into the music world I will make weird music sound good and also make new genre too lol good album by the sound of it.
death grips
boy with the dreads lit
Myke is my boy, and The Needle Drop kicks ass, and boisbrut, go watch The Roots' Undun review. They are Fantano's peers.
@DKreviews09 When I did the review I listened to it 5 times and still was lost I've listened to it about another 5 times today and I am just now starting to get it. But it is dope. CTown is 100% right tho you can't listen to it as a hip hop album.
reminded me a lot of el p too! shits dope
yes it IS a good album to smoke weed to. you hit that on the mark brodie =]
c-town is right... this is an excellent album for cannabis consumption.
c town's got a shirt with butterflies on it... COINCIDENCE?!?!
DE∆TH GRIPS
@mykectown The other people in the group.
Quote: This is definitely not ride music, not for you at least. I would listen to it in my car.
Don't you see how condescending that is?
i heard chris brown is gonna drop a rap mixtape
very good album for that
I think it bumps in the whip
@smokyp3nguin No, but do you see how ignorant it is to jump to conclusions? Feefo and I have had numerous discussions on and off camera about "riding music." (Look at the other shows.) Feefo was saying how there are some albums he just can't listen to in his car (usually underground esoteric hip hop). I was simply saying that this IS an album that I can happily listen to in my car, but I can understand how it wouldn't be for him. How you got condescending from that is beyond me.
review vince staples summertime 06
what the hell is Kinge talking about half the time
This joint was....different
I disagree with myke. What mindset are you “supposed” to put in on with? I went in open minded but I wasn’t NOT expecting “traditional hip hop” like he raps more traditionally then myke is acting. Naw and when you say “I didn’t think YOU GUYS were gonna like it” and then say why, it kind of is expected that they’re gonna respond to that lmao like they kind of have to, otherwise they just let you say what they think and it’s inaccurate, beezy didn’t think what you said so it was worth interrupting
The guy with the dreadlocks is incredibly condescending.
Smoke weed!
DOOM
too bad there aren't any other artists
@smokyp3nguin Next time ask before you start accusing people of shit.
>beats by dre
anytime man
