[LEAK] Logic - Perfect Remix (feat. Lil Wayne & A$AP Ferg)

DJ Spinbad, iconic NYC musician, dead at 46

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 09:17 AM PST

I purchased a cheap verse from Lil B (song also includs a brief clip of Anthony Fantano), and here is my story...

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 04:51 PM PST

THE BEAT

I got my close friend / producer to make a beat, but then his hard-drive crashed. The only piece we had was a 13 second instrumental, no stems or anything. He managed to salvage what he could, and somehow made this 13 second beat sound as un-looped as possible.

LIL B

I reached out to Lil B via Instagram. I listened to him in High School, and he was an influence to me and many others. He responded very quickly, and asked my budget. I don't want to share how much I said, but it wasn't a lot (life has been hard, I'm sure, for many of us).

He agreed, and asked for the beat. He said he loved it, and he had his verse over to me within 24 hrs. He also sent me his phone #, to hash things out if need be.

Lil B was an absolute GEM to work with. He was very pleasant, courteous, and very funny...though I'm not sure if it was intentional? He used lots of ALL CAPS and said "I LOVE YOU" a few times, but I don't think we're dating yet, lmao

When I got his stems, I realized they didn't appear to be dry (no effects), because there was an UN-HOLY amount of reverb on them. Like, SO much reverb. So, I emailed back asking if he had the dry vocals. He said that he did not, his "microphone came like that," which was interesting.

(I'd like to point out that this is not against Lil B. Again, he was so nice and an amazing human to work with. It was just a little unexpected)

Fantano

Not much to say here. I reached out to the Fantano subreddit, asking if they knew who to contact to see if I could use a clip from a Anthony Fantano vid. His manager directly reached out to me and said that it was totally fine, so there we go.

(Chino, the other guy on the song, is a buddy who works closely with a certain big YouTuber, and I love his vibe...so I invited him on, too)

The Song

Lil B's verse, mixed with Fantano's clip, goes WAY TOO HARD. Lil B's verse actually slaps, with his lighthearted and (seemingly) freestyled tone. I'm so happy I had the chance to reach out to him, and I hope thay you guys enjoy it:

It's been 10 years since one of the best mixtapes of the blog era dropped. Some personal highlights for me are Too Deep for the Intro, Back to the Topic, 2Face, Premeditated Murder, Farewell, and Cost Me a Lot.

  • How do y'all feel this project has aged?

  • Is this Cole's greatest project?

[DISCUSSION] Gang Starr - One of the Best Yet (One Year Later)

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 09:53 AM PST

One of the Best Yet is the seventh and final studio album by American hip hop duo Gang Starr, released on November 1, 2019. The album features previously unreleased and posthumous vocals from Guru, who died nine years prior to the album's release. The album features guests appearances from J. Cole, Royce da 5'9", Talib Kweli, M.O.P., and Q-Tip, among others.

Background

Rapper Guru died of cancer in April 2010, having not released an album with DJ Premier as Gang Starr since 2003's The Ownerz, seven years earlier. A note from Guru provided by former collaborator Solar had said that he disowned his former producer and DJ was released around the time of his death, however, many looked on it with suspicion. While Guru and Premier had not spoken since 2004, Premier had wanted to release a final album, but had difficulty obtaining unreleased material from Guru, despite the rapper's prolific work ethic, because of a dispute with fellow producer Solar. In 2014, a court case gave Guru's family control of his own unreleased music, and in 2016, Solar decided to sell the remaining music. Despite the animosity between the two men, an agreement was reached (although Solar disputes this), and in early 2018, DJ Premier decided to put together a final album, creating new beats for the project over acappellas from Guru.

Critical reception

One of the Best Yet received generally favorable reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 71, based on 12 reviews. Writing for Exclaim!, Riley Wallace praised the album as "a fluid, impeccably produced final goodbye" to Guru, and "a last curtain to a legacy group on its own terms." Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone noted that "there are moments where it feels like one of the most beloved rap groups in history are picking up right where they left off", hailing "Family and Loyalty" as the highlight of the album. Will Lavin of NME called it "a special moment for hip-hop", however, he stated that "Sometimes, too, Guru's absence is a little too noticeable", noting that some tracks sound unfinished.

[DISCUSSION] Westside Gunn - Hitler Wears Hermes 7 (One Year Later)

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 09:48 AM PST

dont downvote this bc wsg didn't post hog

here's what Reed Jackson wrote abt this:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently boasted that the Buffalo Bills are the only true-blue NY football team, as they're the only one that actually plays in-state. (Both the Giants and Jets play in a stadium in New Jersey). Buffalo rapper Westside Gunn has been trumpeting a similar claim in the realm of rap, dubbing himself the "New King of New York" despite being from a city upstate that's more known for its snowfall than hip-hop. But while MCs from the NYC boroughs have tried to shake the dust off their sound with trap hi-hats, Gunn and his Griselda Records cohorts have proudly embraced the loops and drum breaks of the city's "Golden Age" and revamped them. So much so that the richest rapper to ever make it out of Brooklyn recently gave them a management deal.

On Hitler Wears Hermes 7, the formula doesn't change, with Gunn rapping ruthlessly about life on the streets of Buffalo over glistening barely touched samples. With each edition of the series, the bars seem to get a little harder, the beats a little prettier, and Gunn's persona comes further into focus. The project opens with DJ Drama, whose Gangsta Grillz mixtapes once served as proclamations of stardom for artists like Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy, decreeing that the "Buffalo kids done did it." It's a sentiment Gunn circles back to often on Hermes 7 with crass lines like, "First nigga in my city with a Rolls/Fuck two bad bitches at the Lowe's," injecting a conventional rap boast with some of his hometown's blue-collar attitude.

Gunn's voice is a nasally high-pitched yap, somewhere between Brooklyn rappers AZ and Troy Ave, and is perfectly tuned for talking shit. "At the Roc Nation brunch with my tool on, don't disrespect us," he cooly warns on "GONDEK." Elsewhere, on "Connie's Son," he crows that he's "made half at least half a mil' ridin' Mega buses," a clever reference to the cheap bus service that's been exposed more than once as a tool used by traffickers to run drugs across state lines. Griselda crew members Conway The Machine and Benny The Butcher show up to deliver equally gritty verses, as well as a surprisingly in-form Fat Joe, who harkens back to his DITC days on "Kelly's Korner" by lamenting how he once got his hand put in a meat grinder for stealing a mafia Don's car.

The production, handled by a who's who of boom-bap aficionados like Alchemist, Statik Selektah and Griselda in-house producer Daringer, is as lovely as the lyrics are ugly. The swirling keys on "Broadway Jones" sound more like something jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi laid down for A Charlie Brown Christmas than a backdrop to an ode to cooking crack. The soaring vocal sample on the frontend of "Undertaker vs. Goldberg," meanwhile, throws Gunn's violent "doot, doot, doot, doot" adlibs into a warm swirl. The only moments the beats come up short are when their simplicity veers into redundancy, like a few minutes into "Undertaker," which could have been bolstered by some drums.

This could be said for other aspects of Hermes 7 as well, a project that's endearingly straightforward but has a firm ceiling as a result. By its midpoint, you pretty much know how each song will unfold, a one-note dish that's tasty on first bite but starts to lose its flavor by the end. Make no mistake, this is who Westside Gunn is: He makes one kind of song and does it well. Putting out a niche product has ironically led him, along with the rest of Griselda Records, to a larger audience. But even recipes for success can be improved upon.
