I really dig it. I think they found their voice with Rome and doubled down on it with brazen confidence on this record. It's easily their best yet.

Armand Hammer:
Paraffin>Rome>Race Music>Furtive Movements

Billy Woods:
Today, I Wrote Nothing>History Will Absolve Me>Paraffin>Rome>Race Music>Known Unknowns>Furtive Movements>Dour Candy>Camouflage>The Chalice

You know what, I completely fucking forgot Billy Woods is apart of this rap collective. I might actually need to listen to this now.

Fuhrman Tapes

Elucid tears it up on this track then Woods follows it up with a double punch. Goddamn it's really crazy how much Elucid's improved over the years.

Alternate Side Parking

The hook is self referential. Also that beat switch>>>>

OccultHawk · 09-17-2018, 09:07 PM

Besides an occasional interesting hook this album is ****ing boring. The rapping is undynamic uninteresting generic

I have no idea why it’s considered alternative hip hop. White meat dry ass turkey sandwich bull****

I ain’t buying

No fun
No creativity

Big yawn

**Frownland** · 09-17-2018, 09:11 PM

Yawn indeed.

Who are some artists with stuff like Bob Barker? Could always use some more dope **** and it sounded really off the wall to me.

IDK but this is worth more than that whole record.

And yeah, I mean that’s a surreal dreamy sound but the moments like that all end up being fools gold. It’s just not good.

**Frownland** · 09-17-2018, 09:36 PM

So you can't think of an artist who sounds like them, yet they're unoriginal. Hmmm.

I'll gladly be a fool, this record hits the spot for me. Sorry you can't catch that wave with me.

Overall the track you posted was decent but he hits it towards the end. He needs a little more energy or personality, maybe that comes out more live or something. Have you heard Who the Hell is Me yet?

No.

One minute into it I already love it though

2016? How long have you been sitting on this?
