BROCKHAMPTON - iridescence
 

Hip hop record of the year son

How does it compare to the Saturation series? Does this one have some kind of identity at least? Their albums are better approached as compilations imo.

It’s a crazy psychedelic collage

Goddamn Cagian even

10/10

"collage" = no identity yet I'm guessing. Thanky.

Yeah I mean as far as I’m concerned **** having a coherent identity - it’s not jazz

Not trying to start an argument I just think the random chaos of it just makes it better

Even if you don’t necessarily agree I’m sure you can relate

It can, but in my experience with the group, the randomness tends to leave me momentarily interested, then largely disappointed. Maybe this album cuts the filler as opposed to their other three? Idk, maybe a vet can follow up on that.

This is all meat no filler

Listen to it ****

That's a big claim for this group.

Not compelled to at this time tbh. I might get around to it though.

Yeah uh sorry for the dodge

I’ve only really gotten into them from their videos on youtube before this

So I can’t know if I’ll agree the three you’re talking about have what I would consider filler or not

All I know is I listened to this one at work today and loved it so much

It was like I wanted to stop and hug everyone at work and tell them 2018 finally has a hip hop masterpiece

Dude drop the Nas-wannabes Stevie Ray Vaughns of hip hop

One of them might have told you about the mew Quelle Chris record. I agree that it's been a lackluster year for hip hop.

Lmao that hack wishes.

Lupe Fiasco's Drogas Wave is this years masterpiece.

Nas?

Armand Hammer's Paraffin imo but I didn't mention that to OH because he only appreciates hip hop as party music and that kind of thing tends to go over his head.

Whatever Trump

Any time.

No sarcasm I am a little butthurt you don’t care more about my opinions

I mean goddamn

I do care about your taste, that's why I didn't recommend an album you said you didn't like.

I don’t remember commenting on that one. I can’t find a post.

I remember that record but yeah I mean barely

Do you have a what I wrote about it ?

I discovered Quelle Chris on Bandcamp a long time ago btw

I can’t believe I’m even playing defense here

Learn from me or **** off bitches

It's in the thread about it.

Did you like Everything's Fine?

Liking hip hop for it's more fun side isn't a bad thing. I say that there's room for both and if you don't agree then it's cool. Just own it.

Also I'm more of a 5 star off bitch kinda guy. I'm picky like that.

I’ll own it. Maturity and hip hop don’t mix. I hated when the Beastie Boys grew up.

There are exceptions like Jay Z

I do think there’s an oil and water thing

The interesting sonic landscapes are born from wildness

again too ADHD was so good then it was like instead of staying good he grew up

KRS-One grew up and sucked

The last thing I remember listening to is Innocent Country.

I’ll listen to it next week along with Lucem’s thing and the other brockhamptons

Was yellow flower Tyler album this year or last year?

He grew up a little but like it worked

I got some listening to do

Lupe's album is long, and I hate long albums, but I think his album was worth the length.

But Lupe at his best is the type of rapper where you have to research or look into ****, think about it to fully appreciate it. (Though you don't need to for it to be a good album).

I sunk myself into a rabbit hole thinking on the name and the skit where the preacher says "Don't mess up the kids" makes me think of mumble rappers and how some songs on the album and in Lupe's past work talks about hip hop smuggling drugs like the past generation of rappers talked about selling drugs all the time now the new generation talks about doing drugs. Like the past generation made money off of making the kids drug addicts thus they messed up the kids and created a wave of drug addicted hip hop. So in a way the new wave of hip hop is a Drogas Wave.

Maturity and hip hop don’t mix. not a bad saying.

Listened today. Yeah it’s pretty good. I might like the older ones better. I like the weird drawings in the old ones covers.

Listened to this today. Imo way way waaaay to ****ing long. That social consciousness **** is boring to begin with. Bitch, if I wanna hear all that I’ll read a ****ing book. Maybe if the whole thing was 30 minutes long it would be passable. I have to give it one star worst possible rating. It was pure drudgery.

I also listened to the first BH in that trilogy, Frown, and I think the new record is more fragmented not less.

BH is hip hop that incorporates the sounds of psychedelic electroacoustic tape music into party music. It’s taking the work of cage and Luc Ferrari and building on that tradition

They don’t know they’re doing that and that makes it even more amazing

The new BH stands way above y’all’s recs

Not even close - not for fun and not artistically either

Is that in any way that the bomb squad didn't already accomplish?

Not really tbh

Great track. Only listened to about half of the album (because of time, not the album) but I'm kind of thinking 6 or 7/10 so far. Will report back.

I listened to part 2 of the trilogy and loved it so much

It’s going to take some effort to explain why this is so exciting to me

It just has an energy and attitude and obviously a sound I really really like

Greatest boy band on earth

Easily the best hip hop going

For a hip-hop boy band, they're okay. And if anyone tries to compare them to Wu-Tang, I'm blocking them.

wow the kid even rapped yelling on the ground... a lot of emotion in that group. why a boy band and not just a rap group? ****s way better than those mumble rappers by far

i like a few songs from their albums on spotify. this newest album, i checked it out. wasnt into it. i think you need to be a fan of theirs already for this newest album because i didnt get much replay value from it. :cool:

I ****ing fell in love with it first listen.

The boy band angle is cool.

I absolutely love this band.

Brockhampton ain't nuthin to **** with.

They bring the mother ****ing ruckus

Iridescence builds where 36 Chambers falls short.

I swear to God I will pay a man to rape you.

Dafuq?

Well it would be unprofessional to do the raping himself wouldn't it?

He said 'man' so...
