[DISCUSSION] Anderson .Paak - Malibu (5 Years Later)

Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:30 AM PST

Malibu is the second studio album by American singer Anderson Paak. It was released on January 15, 2016, by ArtClub International, Empire Distribution, OBE and Steel Wool Records following the release of his EP, Link Up & Suede, with Knxwledge (credited as the duo, NxWorries).

Malibu was supported by four singles: "The Season / Carry Me", "Am I Wrong", "Room in Here" and "Come Down". The album received widespread critical acclaim, placing highly on several music critics' end-of-year lists. It received a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Background

The album is described as the beginning of his potential commercial breakthrough, following his prominent role on Dr. Dre's album Compton (2015). Paak is featured on six songs on Compton, including "Animals". The track was produced by DJ Premier. Although, the track was initially slated for his 2016 album, Malibu. Dr. Dre later approved to have the track featured on his album Compton.[1]

[DISCUSSION] Mac Miller - Circles (1 year later)

Posted: 16 Jan 2021 10:29 AM PST

Today marks the 1 year release date of Mac Miller's posthumous album, Circles. Circles was originally planned to be released after Circles, but Mac sadly passed a month after the release of Swimming. On the 8th of January Mac's parents posted to Instagram an announcement saying that they had sat down with Jon Brion to finish an album he had been working on. Jon Brion had previously worked with Mac on Swimming, so fans were familiar with him and he was familiar with Mac's work. Jon Brion said in his interview with Zane Lowe from Beats 1, quote: I found a few songs he had never gotten around to play me, they were song based. 5. I Can See…. I loved the track, but then I would turn back to a torture, like omg and you were capable of that?. I personally think there are no Mac fans, who doesn't see this as the perfect way to potentially close off his discography. Both his family and Jon being involved in releasing it in a way to close his legacy off. It's beautiful. Compared to how other artists who've passed away in recent years (rip), have had their post-death legacy handled, it's refreshing to see his family did it.

My personal experience with this album was emotionally tough. That's to say the least. It released overnight and I heard it on my way to work. 4. Good News had already leaked previously, but yet still, once I made it to the fourth track, my heart sunk. I had to stop the car multiple times during the album release to shed some tears. It was early in the morning and the sky was golden with a mix of purple. A perfect reflection on how I felt. Happy, but sad at the same time. It's so painfully beautiful. With so much happening during 2020, I often found myself coming back to this gorgeous album. It's so smooth and laid back. Whenever I feel down 4. Good News will often be put on. The transition from 12. Once a Day to 1. Circles is so pretty and comes off smooth, perfectly described by Dissect, quote; "The album ends on an unstable chord and starts on a stable chord…. In music, this is a proper resolution, the final unresolved chord of Circles is resolved by the opening chord that begins the album. It closes the loop, the album Circles is a circle.". This partakes in the reason to why I can listen to the album back to back smoothly. Whether it's due to my mood leaning towards the colorful 3. Blue World produced by Guy Lawrence, half of EDM group Disclosure. 8. Hand Me Downs if I want to bless my ears with some gorgeous singing and a beautiful instrumental. This song is also the only one to feature a feature. 11. Surf is arguably my favorite track off of the record. I think all in all this is one of Mac's better projects. Despite him not being too involved with it, you could clearly see where in life he was. It felt as if he was doing better, which makes this album even harder to process. It's beautiful, but painful at the same time. I'm glad that we got to experience this.

How do you see this project in line with the rest of his discography?

What are your experience's with this project?

What impact did it leave 1 year later?

[FRESH ALBUM] Diaz Grimm - The Yung NewZealand Mixtape

Posted: 16 Jan 2021 07:44 PM PST

Ay yo my girl left me and the only thing keeping me going is digging into deeper, lesser known hip-hop, any recs?

Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:41 PM PST

This might just get auto-mod'd, idk, but I'm pretty fucked up and the only thing I'm really getting enjoyment out of anymore is finding new favorite songs, artists and albums. There is almost nothing as special as finding THAT artist, and examples of these for me in the last couple years have been (yeah im late to the party on many of these guys):

MF DOOM, (RIP) on Christmas night 2018, where I heard Madvillainy for the first time and listened to it three times in a row with a massive fucking smile on my face.

JPEGMAFIA, who then soon after released All My Heroes, one of my favorite albums since then.

MAVI, with Eye/I and I/Nation being one of my favorite songs of all time.

Recently, I heard Clipping. for the first time and had my mind melted, loving Enlacing and Check The Lock.

Quelle Chris, Westside Boogie, MIKE, Flatbush Zombies, and more are all artists I never would have heard without digging, and though some of the above are becoming more and more mainstream, they're all mostly artists I cant make much conversation about with friends. This is all without mentioning how I've begun to dig into older rap, artists like Rakim, Inspectah Deck, Talib Kweli, and more, or how I probably only found Freddie Gibbs, JID, and Denzel because of this subreddit.

Any of you guys have any deep recs, similar to artists I listed, or unrelated? Or any stories of the first time you had your mind blown by an artist who immediately made your top five? Im still fucked up over DOOM, especially in hand with my ex leaving me. Life sucks but hip-hop is rad. Just bored and cant sleep and need new music. Sorry if this shit is rambly. Take it easy homies.
