I honestly love this but I can't decide what I think about that experimental-feel to it, these strange dissonant noises are just..I don't know, do I like them?
fuck indie still being indie. THIS NEEDS TO BE MAINSTREAM. I WANT TO TURN ON THE RADIO AND HEAR ART. I WANT CRAFT AND ARTICULATE LYRICISM TO BE THE NEXT AUTOTUNING. I WANT COMPETENT PEOPLE MAKING MUSIC. I WANT EXPRESSION, EXPERIMENTATION AND DIVERGENCE FROM THE CONVENTION TO BE THE NEWEST POPULAR TREND. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK, INDUSTRIES???
no, you cant compare this to OF because shabazz palaces can make descent albums, and OF at the moment are not quite as serious and really only have bunch of good singles.
@internettrollmachine Because they're the hottest thing in underground rap right now, but there are so many other rappers and rap groups who deserve equal amounts (or more!) of the attention that OF is getting. OF does have a few great singles, but they don't have 1 great album as of today.
And shabazz IS miles above them. Not even an opinion. OF has a a couple decent tracks, but the majority are mostly mediocre. I'm pretty sure people like reading about them and praising them more than actually listening to their music. I mean who actually has their album on repeat?
@smokyp3nguin for real? that's hilarious! i was there, and i missed OF even though i was there for em, i only heard a little shabazz. but that's funnyyy.
@MrKittenzzz you can't compare them at all... that would be like comparing pizza and sushi... two different culture and two different things... you don't always have to compare every rapper and group... OF is OF and Shabazz is Shabazz
Such a unique record, one of my favs of 2011 along with The Roots and Elzhi (and The Black Keys)

The MC has a pretty good flow and an okay voice but the real story on this album is the production.

Thumbs up if music is subjective therefore making it too difficult to compare two different groups with completely different content

@MrKittenzzz Lol I saw Shabazz at the pitchfork music festival and they were 20 minutes late because they wanted to see the OF show.
It's not that one is better than the other, they just move in different circles.
