I thought it had moments, but that they couldn't be redeemed by what I considered negative qualities (f.ex. that piano based song where the guy at the end talks about ****ing for two or three minutes).
So far, I've found a few albums that I consider listenable, but wouldn't purchase for myself or listen to regularly.
- Eternia & MoSS - At Last
- Dalek - Absence
- Buck 65 - 20 Odd Years
- Beast - Beast
- Why? - Alopecia
I like instrumental hip hop, and I love trip hop. The one album closest to hip hop in nature that I can say I love through and through is Gorillaz - Demon Days.
So, any hope for me? |
That sounds somewhat similar to how I feel. BUT I have found that I really enjoy Das Racist, The Jealous Guys' Love Mixtape, as well as Madvillainy. I also like some stuff from Ghostpoet and Dizzee Rascal (older stuff). I'm not exactly sure what it is about them that I enjoy, so I can't say what I'm really on the lookout for. I do know I hate club oriented Hip-Hop. Immensely.
