Album Of The Year #26: Young Nudy - Rich Shooter

Posted: 19 Jan 2022 07:07 AM PST

Artist: Young Nudy | Album: Rich Shooter

Listen: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music | SoundCloud

Background by /u/doop_64

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Young Nudy delivers another vibrant and innovative project infused with the ruthless aura of the Zone 6 streets and Nudy's own devilish personality. He demonstrates a unique ability to convey cold and unforgiving tales of the street with a deadpan sense of humor. Such attributes describe the bulk of Nudy's extensive discography. To date, the 28-year-old rapper has released a handful of singles, several mixtapes, four albums, including his latest release, Rich Shooter, and boasts a collection of guest features with big name artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, J. Cole, Playboi Carti, and cousin, 21 Savage.

Rich Shooter, the second of two albums dropped by Young Nudy in 2021, is a testament to his constant pursuit to expand and refine his sound, while staying true to himself and his native land of Zone 6. The album is produced in part by Young Nudy's main confidants, COUPE and 20Rocket, who create a sonic backdrop that consistently compliments Nudy, but provide a collection of beats that are varied and sound fresh to the ears of listeners. The album also features five songs with longtime friend and collaborator, Pi'erre Bourne. This comes as a welcome addition for Nudy fans who have been yearning for more music between the two after their stellar collaboration album, Sli'merre in 2019. Most notably, Pi'erre produces the two opening tracks, "Keep It In The Street" and "Old School". Producers Mojo Krazy, 44wxrld, Mahd McLaren, Humblebee, jetsonmade, TheLoudPack, and Jake One also make contributions to the album.

Review by /u/doop_64

Young Nudy cannot be confused for another rapper. His lyrics seem to come pouring out of him, flowing out in patterns that weave themselves in between hi-hats and snares and nestle themselves on top of billowing melodies, delivering a mesmerizing effect of head bobbing. Besides delivery, he separates himself with an ear for outlandish beats that hit your speakers with a ferocious groove. Even still, his strong mic presence enables him to keep at the forefront of every track as he delivers murderous messages with potency and authority. These qualities lend themselves to a varied array of sounds across Rich Shooter, which is another quality of Nudy: the ability to create a strong project which keeps the attention of listeners and can be played start to finish, and then played again.

Nudy opens the project with his proclamation, "Keep It In The Street". If Rich Shooter was a persuasive essay, this is his position statement. Nudy employs 21 Savage as a foil to himself, discarding his cousin's advice to "chill" from his street affairs, therefore, emphasizing Nudy's relentless dedication to "that trap shit". Pi'erre delivers some of his boldest production to date while Nudy establishes himself as one to be feared by those that dare to share the streets with him. Him and Pi'erre keep the energy going into the album's standout second track, "Old School". This track begins with an infectious hook, delivered with an effortless braggadocio which few rappers could hope to emulate with Nudy's expertise. Pi'erre helps to concoct this stellar track with a beat that could rock car speakers and tear up stages. This fusion of simplicity and robustness borders the makings of a true anthem.

The album's third and fourth tracks, "Battlefield" and "Wicked For The Money", are produced by 20Rocket and COUPE, respectively. These are standard form for Nudy, but definitely not stale, as he executes flows with precision, attacking his verses with a commanding presence. The tracks each feature appearances from Atlanta up and comers, 21 Lil Harold and 2FeetBino, respectively, who both earn their feature placements with hard verses. Track five, "Know How I Rock", is another standout on the album. Nudy more than holds his own, but Atlanta veteran Peewee Longway delivers a verse so poignant that it leaves the listener wondering, "Where the hell has this guy been?". Nevertheless, all of this pales in comparison to "Bodies On Bodies". The effect of this track can scarcely be put into words as Nudy permeates COUPE's ethereal production. The beat is built around a haunting choral sample, tastefully complemented by spacy synths and protruding 808s which provide the track with its rhythmic backbone. Nudy executes the track with perfection. He places himself somewhere in between the song's rigid kicks and snares, employing flows that seem to unfold upon themselves and keeps the listener entranced from start to finish.

Tracks seven and eight, "All My Niggas" and "No Disrespect", come as heavy hitters. Both tracks showcase the unpredictable bounce that Nudy's dexterous lyrical progressions thrive off of. On "How I Eat", Nudy employs his own variation of 21 Savage's infamous whisper, straining his voice to deliver his words in a way that fits the track's delicate production. Nudy often favors beats with this cluttered and uncomfortable sound; production that many rappers might shy away from, not even knowing where to start, are where Nudy seems most comfortable. "On The Curb" is one such example, where Nudy keeps his flow at a succinct pace with COUPE's fast tempo and proves to be adept at slotting the hook into the most enveloping of compositions. The album's third Pi'erre Bourne collaboration, "Green Bean", is a bouncy track with a light and catchy melody, two attributes that Pi'erre has shown to have a natural ability at crafting. Nudy delivers an all-time one-liner with,

"Ain't shit green but that lima bean"

The album's twelfth track, "Trap Shit", is another banger complete with a guest verse from Atlanta frontrunner, Future. Even still, Nudy remains at the forefront of this track delivering another standout hook and meeting Pi'erre's ceaseless bounce with confidence. The COUPE and Jake One collaboration, "How They Label Me", is yet another example of Nudy's willingness to meet his producers with confidence, even in the face of their most unusual sonic creations. "I Can't Change" serves as the album's mellowest track, but is not lacking as he delivers an emotionally honest ode to the women in his life that he feels guilty of letting down. Rich Shooter's fifteenth track, "Money To Spend", is straight bars from Nudy as he weaves his flows in and out of Pi'erre's simplistic, but hard hitting beat. The following two tracks, "We Do Not Give Up" and "Addicted" work to lighten the album's sonic atmosphere. Both beats are built around upbeat guitar riffs, offering a change of pace from the dark, synthy production prevalent on Rich Shooter.

The album's first of three bonus tracks, "One In The Head", features Nudy along with 4L associates, Cristo4L and 4l Quan, trading threats against their opps and sharing Zone 6 anecdotes like,

"Have you ever seen a nigga shakin' and he shittin'? Dead body twitchin', pissin' (Woo)"

The standout second bonus track, "Can't Clone Me", is another example of the natural chemistry COUPE and Young Nudy display so consistently. COUPE's deep, synthesized chords and billowing 808s are met with fierce inflections from Nudy, which work to accentuate the track's every kick. The song carries a deep emotion that many rappers struggle to convey in a way that is so raw and powerful. To round out Rich Shooter, Nudy delivers an ode to a Zone 6 staple: the trap. On "Fish Scale", producer Mojo Krazy brings a bouncy beat that complements Nudy and Atlanta's self-proclaimed "Trap God", Gucci Mane, delivers a stellar verse.

Young Nudy proves himself to be a dynamic MC and competent in executing fleshed out and creative material. Nudy is comfortable within his music, never reaching for a certain sound or style that is not completely his own. He demonstrates an innate sense of artistic direction, always knowing how to sonically deliver the grip and pungency that keeps his music interesting and meaningful to his audience. Perhaps the most impressive attribute is his subtlety in doing so. He never goes out of his way to prove anything about himself outright, with the exception of his reign over his insular Atlanta neighborhood. His great musical strives seem to come almost haphazardly, or without much intentional effort. He claims dedication not to hip-hop, only to "that trap shit".

Favorite Lyrics by /u/Doop_64

"And that hoe told me you don't like me, pillow talkin' bitch

I couldn't even hit, she too busy suckin' my dick"

"Old School"

"But they ain't even gotta drop that much my dawgs send twenty cash

Say he'll have it done before I wake up, told him, 'Do it fast'

Nigga feelin' like John Gotti, sendin' hits on they bitch ass

Baptize a nigga and pray to God before I do your ass"

"Bodies On Bodies"

"I ain't never had to go and get some shit tatted just to show I'm 'bout the life

No tear drops, none of that type of shit, but I got motherfuckin' bodies "

"No Disrespect"

"You niggas some pussy niggas, tuck your dick

Niggas some hoes, nigga, you's a bitch

Say you this and that, but you are not shit

You is not a hunnid, you not the brick"

"Can't Clone Me"

Talking Points

  • Is Young Nudy effective at separating himself from his musical peers?

  • How does Young Nudy compare to his collaborators (21 Savage, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, etc.)?

  • How does Rich Shooter compare to his other project released in 2021, DR. EV4L?

For me it's You Ain't Got Nuthin off the Carter 3.It's one of my favourites off the Carter 3 so it surprised a lot when I found out it was produced by The Alchemist as it doesn't sound like a beat he'd do .

Earl Sweatshirt - SICK! Review Thread

Posted: 19 Jan 2022 11:40 AM PST

Metacritic 87/100 as of 11 reviews

Album of the Year.com 79/100 as of 12 reviews

RYM: 3.65/5

Publication, score
Review

Dylan Green in Pitchfork 8.1/10

Sick! doesn't recontextualize the genre in the same way Some Rap Songs did, but it's an act of self-revolution. It magnifies a newly assured Earl Sweatshirt, skin shed and free to ascend.

Anthony Fantano is The Needle Drop 6/10

For me, the efficacy and appeal of SICK!'s disjointedness starts to wane in the second half.

Stephen Kearse in Rolling Stone 4/5

On his most legible album, he's actively engaged in dismantling what it means for rappers to go in, and to evolve as artists. Without punchlines, hooks, eccentric beats, and flashy flows, he finds ways to astound and delight, avoiding gimmicks as well as grandstanding.

Paul Thompson in The Ringer

The onetime Odd Future rapper's new album ditches the muddied mixes and disaffected shrugs of his most recent output in favor of something still oblique, but sharper and more expressive

Marcus Shorter in Consequence

The rapping is impeccable, and the project doesn't overstay its welcome.

Kyann-Sian Williams in NME 4/5

Displaying an amazing musical ear, as he's picked monstrously riveting instrumentals to rap confidently on, Earl Sweatshirt's latest feat feels so effortlessly him. And there's not much higher praise than that.

Will Pritchard in The Guardian 4/5

They offer the promise of something more perhaps in the future, with richer, bolder production: another tantalising glimpse of Earl's unique and enduring charm.

Kitty Empire in The Observer 4/5

Sick! emerges with musicality enhanced, full of strings, soul samples, arpeggiating pianos and vinyl crackle – sometimes, as on the immersive Vision and Tabula Rasa, all at once.

Robin Murray in Clash 9/10

A bravura statement that melds phenomenal production with some of his best raps

Tim Sentz in Beats Per Minute 86%

SICK! is a pure rap album, as only Earl Sweatshirt could deliver.

Hayley Milross in The Line of Best Fit 7/10

SICK! carries the ever-popular lo-fi vibe as well as a blend of stellar hip-hop. Artists utilising lockdown as a creative direction is not uncommon these days, however Sweatshirt's attempt carries a distinct sense of realness.

Calum Slingerland in Exclaim! 8/10

Lucidity, seldom felt as strongly in the kaleidoscopic cacophony of 2018's Some Rap Songs and on the shadowy, spectral 2019 EP Feet of Clay, is at the core of SICK!

AllMusic 4/5

Sharp, direct, and fluid in a way that's almost supernatural, Sick! perfectly conveys the duality of frustration and drive to persevere that arises from living through exceptionally difficult times.

Mimi Kenny in Northern Transmissions 7.8

Sick! won't surprise anyone familiar with Earl Sweatshirt's trajectory since Doris. But every listen is sure to reveal something new to appreciate.

Earl Sweatshirt – SICK! ALBUM REVIEW

N.E.R.D.'s hit song "Lemon" owes a lot to New Orleans bounce

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 09:59 AM PST

What’s an album you absolutely loved when it came out that has not aged well/fallen off for you since?

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:58 PM PST

Saw a post with the opposite so figured I'd ask this cause it'd be interesting. For me, it's got to be Oxymoron by Schoolboy Q. This was one of those albums that I listened to top to bottom when it first came out, but now I can barely listen to any of it. Its not just overplayed for me, but it just doesn't sound compelling anymore given how hip hop has evolved.

Bird in the Trap Sing McKnight by Travis Scott is also another that had wide recognition, but pretty much seems to have been memory-holed by the music community.

DAMN. is also another album I couldn't stop listening to when it first dropped, but seems very boring to me nowadays.

Rapper Sad Frosty Has Passed Away.

Logic announces new album “Vinyl Days” dropping as soon as the samples clear.

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 06:31 PM PST

[DISCUSSION] It has now been 4 years since 2018 that Hip Hop officially became the most popular genre according to Nielsen. In the last 4 years how has it influenced other genres and how do you think its position at the top has influenced the genre itself? Extract from Nielsen.

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 08:03 PM PST

Link to the report

For the first time ever, hip-hop surpassed rock as the most popular genre in the US in 2017, according to Nielsen's year-end report on the music industry.

Nielsen said the hip-hop/R&B genre ended as the largest genre of the year in terms of "total consumption," which includes album sales and album-equivalent streaming figures.

Seven of the top ten most-consumed albums of the year came from the hip-hop/R&B genre, with Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." taking the second spot behind Ed Sheeran's "Divide."

Nielsen noted that the growth in popularity of the hip-hop/R&B genre was "powered by a 72% increase in on-demand audio streaming" in the genre.

Other questions.

How long will hip hop remain at the top?

Do you think hip hop being the most popular genre in the world is good or bad?

[DISCUSSION] Wiley - Godfather (5 Years Later)

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 12:09 PM PST

Godfather is the eleventh studio album by English grime MC Wiley. It was released on 13 January 2017 through CTA Records, a record label venture between Wiley and Logan Sama and is distributed by Warner Music Group. It succeeds the album Snakes & Ladders (2014), originally announced as Wiley's final album. The album features guest appearances from numerous MCs, including Skepta, Devlin, Jme, Ghetts, Chip, P Money, Lethal Bizzle, among others. Production derives from Wiley himself, Preditah, Swifta Beater, Rude Kid, Darq E Freaker and Teeza. It was originally slated to be Wiley's last solo album to be released until he announced on 3 November 2017 the release of a new album called Godfather II on 27 April 2018.

The album was supported by four singles: "Can't Go Wrong", "Bring Them All / Holy Grime" featuring Devlin, "U Were Always, Pt. 2" featuring Skepta and Belly, and "Speakerbox".

The album received critical acclaim from critics, while peaking at number 9 on the UK Albums Chart. It became Wiley's highest-charting album of his career after succeeding the peak of The Ascent (2013).

Background

The album was announced in March 2016 via Twitter, along with a release date of September 2. However, the album was delayed to early 2017 after being cancelled altogether. The album name is a reference to the media title of Wiley as the "Godfather of Grime", a title that he has been reluctant to adopt until Godfather: "I was battling [the title of Godfather] for ages. I didn't want to take it on. But you know what, one day I woke up and I said: 'this title actually means a lot and I need to actually put some respect on its name, stop trying to push it away.'"[1][2]

Godfather was originally dubbed as Wiley's last solo studio album release, claiming that "This is the end of my career, in terms of proving anything. After this, I don't have to prove anything to anybody. It's not my job any more to jump around and try being the number one guy, up in everyone's faces at Rinse FM, at Radar Radio. It's the next generation's job."[3] However, on 3 November 2017, he announced that he had a change of heart and will now release a new album, titled Godfather II, on 27 April 2018.[4][5]

For the youngsters, BET uncut was a late night show in the early to mid 2000's that showed more explicit rap videos, that mostly corrupted teenage minds for the better. Lol.
