Yeah, J-Live is a MC who rap like old school. Damn I am so missing the golden age era.

Well this thread has been dead awhile. In the meantime has anyone checked out the new DOOM: Born Like This, and Cunninlynguists: Strange Journey Vol. 1? Straight fire those 2.

 

[SlaughterX]

Yeah I bought Born Like This the week it came out. Good album but a bit short at only 40 something mins. I really like Gazillion Ear, Ballskin, Rap Ambush, Lightworks, Microwave Mayo, and More Rhymin'.

Anyway I just ordered Stankonia on DVD-A. I am just getting into this High Fidelity music and this seems to be one of the few rap albums on any Hi-Fi format, luckily I really like the album so hopefully I will be able to hear a difference.

I'd be particularly curious to know if you hear any difference, because as I wrote a little bit ago in the "Audiophile quality hiphop" thread, OutKast's records sounded pretty good from jump street—even when they were broke. Keep us posted.

x3 on Born like This.

Also some really really nice tracks on White Van Music by Jake One.

Well this is my first DVD-A, so I can't really compare it to other DVD-As, but I think it sounds pretty good. The only thing I have to compare it to right now is the mp3 of this album encoded at 192k, so that might not be fair...

The Doom album is pretty solid, my only gripes are that:
1. There's a handful of pretty old beats on here, like stuff 5+ years old that have appeared on various Herbs & Spices instrumental CDs
2. There's a couple of straight up amateur recording quality songs on here, like a $5 mic recorded in someone's closet (I'm talking about Rap Ambush specifically). You're signed to Lex, you're not stuck with recording at your friend's house. Step it up a little bit!

About that Cunninlynguists album, it's so good! Kno's production is incredible as always, I feel like there's not many people out there who can touch him right now.

On that... New thread discussion? List your favorite producers (without naming Dilla, haha)? I don't know if this has been done already here, but I don't really feel like searching through the whole thread. Here's some of mine, in no order:
1. Ant
2. Kno
3. Madlib
4. Karriem Riggins
5. Lazerbeak
6. Medium Zach
7. DJ Premier
8. Kev Brown
9. Amp Live
10. El-P

I really enjoy Born like this, but I totally agree about the production. Piss poor.

I also can't stand that idiot who makes all those comments. "Muerderizing sucker MS's!!!" Jeez it grates on me.

If u like DJ Mitsu the beats, maybe you should add Kero One as well.

 

[Skorpitarius]

Because they're both Asian? Haha, kidding, similar jazzy styles, I know...

Kero One's new album is really good. That guy's got some serious talent. Even though his rapping isn't exactly outstanding, the way he rides his own beats (I love that he plays so many instruments) fits the music really well. The production value on it is a lot higher than on his first album.
