It would be if SRV made great music or if Hendrix was largely whack except for his guitar playing.

not even close. it’s a 10 for me as i mentioned but if i absolutely had to pick a flaw it would be that i feel madlib could’ve done a bit more on the production side. listen to any of his Quasimoto album’s and the production is twice as spectacular.

x2

earl is what people hail kendrick to be

still waiting on one more project to really cement that though, but everything he’s done from Sly Tendancies forward has been elite.

It’s well done but it doesn’t break any ground. Is Peter Brotzman better than Pharoah Sanders?

Meh.

On a side note, Farrah Abrahams broke new ground in pop music. Is she The Stooges of pop?

And yeah, Brotzmann is better.

I might be wrong about this one.

Wrong about what, their cred or their music? Did you finally start to get into it a bit?

Wellllllll.... I was actually really enthusiastic about MF Doom & Grimm very early in their careers then my interest tapered off and I ACTUALLY only followed them peripherally but sort of felt like since I was on to it early on I needn’t pay too close attention. So even though this is a pretty old release by the time it came out I kind of figured I already know what it was all about but trying to defend an ambivalent position about this record has kind of painted me into a corner. I could keep pretending I know everything about it or admit that while I have listened to it I really haven’t listened to it closely enough to justify my strong opinions.

I think I better learn up on this one and get back to you kind folks with my typical arrogance after some re-examinations.

Don’t tell anyone.

It's been several years since I've sat down and listened to this album, but it's one I absolutely love. To me, there's always been something about it that sounds like a rainy weekend when you're a kid. It makes me think of drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies and watching the waterlogged world go by outside the window. It was also my introduction to DOOM (I was already a fan of Madlib) so it was just great thing all around. 10/10

Can I please get a mulligan?
