AraabMuzik - Electronic Dreams

This is an all instrumental album full of grandiose soundscapes, rife with zany synth patterns and stirring vocal (house?) samples.

Here's samples from the album:

For fans of: Clams Casino, Blue Sky Black Death
Dudes pretty deft with the ol' MPC.

  - How so?
    
    They both make beats I guess, I like both.
    
    FL leans towards jazz influences and his sound has a more organic feel to it where AM dips into house and electronic a little more. His beats feel more distant, in a good way. I would say that if you like FL than you would dig this, I guess if you only have time for one of them tho...

I think someone brought up Action Bronson in the last one

P4K just gave him an 8.1: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15497-dr-lecter/

This album is really really enjoyable. It's hard to get past how much he sounds like Ghost but fuck it.

The new Kendrick Lamar lp is really good, called Section .80

He released a solid freebie last year titled O(verly) D(edicated). He's from Compton and has some really entertaining raps and strikes a nice balance of styles. He does some solid boom-bap http://youtu.be/ss1b9sphruM (really like his 2nd verse) / http://youtu.be/J_NWRB1ETtY and some technical chop raps (bone thugs style) http://youtu.be/iPNChz9M1Tk and can get thoughtful http://youtu.be/tEIY0uENivk .

My favorite on here is ADHD, kind of balances all of the above styles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3D2hk-BjjU

- He really needs to switch up and expand his sound.
  
  He pretty much owned last year as far as smashers went, but its all getting a little sterile and samey. He uses the same bass kick on every track. Not that he doesnt have it in him, just needs to keep growing is all, interested to see where he takes his sound.

Ryu_ was right, that new Kool G Rap is great.

I'm gonna lump this in with Roc Marciano's 'Marcberg' and AG's 'Everythings Berri' as these kind of refreshing old-vet boom-bap hard-hitting LP's that have slid under the radar.

    I love how he just seems to be living his dream, working with his heroes, and making exactly the music he wants to make. He hasn't compromised himself at all so far, and I'm sure his album will be awesome.

    Obviously was kinda hesitant when I heard it was based around Imogen Heap samples. It's weirdly similar to I'm Gay in the shift away from the modern whacked out shit to more traditional boom-bap beats. Kinda makes a refreshing change of pace and allows Young L to really shine as an MC.

- Really feeling the Don Trip & Starlito tape:
  
  http://www.datpiff.com/Don-Trip-Starlito-Stepbrothers-mixtape.255304.html
  
  First paid attention to Lito after that amazing tape Renaissance Gangster with DJ Burn One (totally underrated producer btw) but this bangs much harder with much less of that smoked out melancholy vibe.
  
  Neither rappers are technically outstanding, and Don sometimes bites Gucci's flow, but their different styles compliment each other well and you get a real sense they're enjoying rapping together which gives the whole thing a level of fun and energy missing with so many of these phoned in collaborations.

    Basically the blogger realniggatumblr put him up and is promoting him and pushing him. Kind of like how noz (cocaineblunts) did with Lil B. Kind of weird to have these blogging dudes having actual sway in the industry, I kind of feel like Asap is being forced on to me sometimes, but hes alright.

  Shabazz palaces- Black Up
  
  Incredibly well- crafted, superior rapping skills and a talent for the unusual. Just what the hip- hop world needs right now, and has done for a very long time.

  - It is really good
    
    but I don't feel as reverential about it as you. Hip Hop is just fine where its at, tons of different styles going on at the moment. SP happens to be excelling at that type (abstract?) of rap, but they aren't the white knights of rap coming to redeem mankind from their goon ridden ways. He's a good rapper, even if a little monotone, wouldn't put him in the "superior" realm though. Its really all about the overall vibe of Shabazz that makes them; the booming low end, the claustrophobic nature of the mix, the element of mystery, the overall span of the sound (doesn't sound new or old), the imagery, the hypnotic monotone. The whole package is really well put together and thought out.

    - I sort of agree with this
      
      I find it a bit strange how Shabazz has got so much attention, especially from the kind of people who would usually completely ignore leftfield hip hop. I guess the Sub Pop thing has helped its cause, or maybe it's just really good, but I haven't gotten into it personally. Even so, the idea that this is some new radical shake-up for a stale Hip Hop scene is kind of irritating, and probably makes me want to like SP less. Might give the album another try this weekend, but it didn't really work for me when I saw the live show.

    - A few months ago...
      
      I would have agreed with you. Back at the beginnign of the year, there were some incredibly exciting things going on in hip- hop. Odd future, Waka Flocka Flame and the like... There was a new era that was more in line with punk rock than any actual hip- hop music at the time. It was incredibly enticing; But the thing I've often found with hip- hop, and this is, I'm sure, just a personal taste thing, is that it can quickly get boring. I agree with what you said about it, overall, being the style and vibe of SP that makes them an intriguing and mind- bending project, but some of the stuff they write is incredible, lyrically. It's a new brand of what I call more "intelligent hip- hop", which for me is really captivating and a fresh break away from what came before.

        It's just different
        
        It's the same reason that, in the indie rock world, for example, I treasure bands like Foals and Wild Beasts. They're bringing originality and character to a scene with otherwise is pretty delinquent nowadays, in my opinion. The same for pop music and artists like Bjork. It's just refreshing to have something different, and if that means being more intelligent than artists such as odd future (sample lyric: " I'm gonna rape her later, decapitate her, I fucking hate her") then so be it.

      - Intelligent hip hop?
        
        Look at the lyrics, it's not exactly Aesop Rock or anything.
        
        When people look at why 2011 was such a great year they'll point to Danny Brown's warped Kool Keith-esque XXX, Curren$y's string of consistently great projects, K.R.I.T's mixtapes, Green Ova's output (particularly L.W.H, & 808s & Dark Grapes imo), Lil B coming good with I'm Gay, big anthems like Im The One & 2Pac Back, Jay Rock, instrumentals like AraabMuzik & Clams Casino, Watch The Throne will get a lot of mentions as another bold (if patchy) project which will surely influence mainstream rap, and heads will point out a string of other great releases (Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar, E-40, Random Axe...)
        
        Sure Shabazz Palaces is up there, but it's arguably not even the best album by a vet this year, with DJ Quik releasing another classic as well. Odd Future were only the most interesting thing in hip hop if you weren't looking too hard (although the Frank Ocean record was great & what I've heard of the Domo Genesis mixtape sounded pretty decent.) I'm sure others could point out some more great stuff to check out, so get digging.

      fans is a toss up between Aquemini and ATLiens. Lots of people jumped on board at Stankonia so that's their entry point/favorite. EVEN MORE people jumped on at Spkrbbx/LvBlw, and that's when I partially jumped off. ATLiens is my 2nd favorite rap lp all time.

  Another former member of the No Limit family in the late 90s has a new kind-of "comeback" lp titled Preserved. Pretty straight-forward laconic flow from the south, but has that grown man smooth that I love.
  
  Holla At Uh Dog is pretty perfect:

  finally released his debut and I think its pretty cool. Wasnt expecting to like it at all, but it works really well as a polished pop-rap album, in line with Graduation/Watch The Throne style Kanye. Mostly all self produced and it sounds *expensive*. Nothing game changing but v solid for what it is. SO many sports references as well.

    It's a bit of a strange one - seems a bit all over the place to me. When it clicks into place it's pretty strong, but to me it feels a lot like 5 track EP stretched into 10.

  Thanks for the Danny Brown tip, 'Ship. Love that record. He is flat out crazy.
  
  I haven't been keeping up on my hip hop as I've been studying a lot and trying to buckle down while some guy spits in your ear doesn't really work out.
  
  But I just got a promo of the new Teebs record and I really like that. Even though it's not proper hip hop.

    - It's weird cos that's why I love Gibbs so much
      
      He's like a really obvious, Tupac-style, double-time maestro, and all of his choruses seem firmly stuck in the mid 90's, and even though that's the type of rap I've felt most lukewarm to in the past there is something so solid and shamelessly nostalgic about it I can't help but enjoy it. I think mostly his voice and delivery sound so fucking badass.

    really like the beats and chopped'n'screwed hooks but not so sure about his rapping yet. even though he's got a stankonia/drake hazy thing going on not sure he pulls it off in a very memorable way just yet. kinda sounds like a poppy easy going main attrakionz so maybe there is some room for that when you dont want it too heavy, kinda like that its nice and light. maybe it'll grow on me in a while, we'll see.

  - not sure where I stand on ASAP
    
    I was drawn in by the fact that there's a ton of Clams Casino beats, and the opener is huge, but I think he overdoes the screwed vocals a little bit and drags those parts out to the point where they become monotonous rather than providing contrast. There are plenty of great moments though, and I do love the way he spits triplets. I'll have to give it some time.

      not as solid as Ultimate Warror its got a whole diffrent vibe too, some kinda soulful/hip-hop thing with a raw edge brought on by his raspy voice. Feels like a taster/experiment in that kinda vibe more than a fully realised EP.
      
      in other news... ASAP Rocky linked to a chopped & screwed remix of his mixtape and its kinda one note bar 'Kissing Pink' which really comes alive when it's slo-mo/chopped. May as well grab it for that tbh.

        but Immortal Technique is all about pathetic, pompous proselytizing, which is way worse. And he also raps over some of the corniest music I have ever heard in my fucking life. And he has zero memorable lines, no sense of humor, his rhymes fucking suck, his analogies are some retarded shit that a fourteen year old would come up with and think is badass, talking about armies of aborted fetuses and whatever bullshit.

    - Obv I'm just use to the accent since I'm from the UK
      
      Plus listen to too much grime haha For me the UK vibe is more about rawness and energy than flow and accent. Its the way they do 8/16 bars then flip to the next with agression and repertition to get some hype going, the UK vibe is still more attached to dance MCing where you can build and build with hype and repertition 8/16 bars. The US guys tend to flow over longer periods and it doesn't have the short sharp switching energy. Scrufizzer's voice is a harsh one mind he's like a hyperactive Dizzee Rascal on this track. Maybe try something less quick like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=440o7zzbAFk

      I really do think your thoughts about hiphop are very *old guard* (not meant to be an ageist stab) though and there's probably no need to debate it since you've pretty much closed your mind to it and decided you don't like 99.9% it (which, of course, is fine).

        Enjoying the album a lot
        
        But I can't help but shake the feeling of disappointment. Similar vibes that I got from Centipede Hz or Until the Quiet Comes - when an artist sets such ridonkulous high, genre-bending standards, something that by any other dude is a very good album seems like a bit of a let down. That, and only In the A really bumps.
        
        My favourite song might still be Mama Told Me... It's a really great pop tune. Don't understand the lukewarm reception it received at all.
