@ihaveallseeingeyes Because sometimes people need this thing called "corrective vision" because they have "bad eye sight". Glasses were first made in Italy at about 1286 for just that reason. Crazy huh? Glasses are mainly used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Glasses can also be wear as eye protection.
@ShookOnesTO And the sky is blue. Im glad i wasted 5 seconds of your life writting a complete useless comment. My question was why does he wear THOSE glasses.
Dude I know you love big krit.. He is good but he starts off every song talking about hoes... How can u give that album a 9 I believe and give this album an 8 when every song is unique. Krits albums at times sound the same. Gets repetitive.
I listened to this whole album, loved the lyrics, just everything about it is what I want in rap. Sometimes I like fun tracks, creative bragging...but this is usually what I'm more into. Definitely gonna brainwash my friends with this. The dream theme is fantastic.
I just wanna thank you for introducing me to all this music I would never ever find otherwise. I don't know why I got addicted to your channel, but I'm happy I did.
I agree with most of your stuff, i definitely think star shine is one of the best songs on the lp and the instrumentation just adds to the genius lyrics and metaphors.
Hard As They Come and Murder are not about what terrible things "people" can do in that sense. The rappers are impersonating the worlds biggest killers.
Hard As They Come:
Natti - Alcohol
Freddie Gibbs - Cocain
Kno - Aids
Murder:
Big K.R.I.T - The devil
Natti - The president
Try listen to the tracks one more time. Sorry if I just misunderstood what you were saying.
@ArbyWanKenobi Have you ever met him in person? Because he's a great guy in person. If you're just talking shit about someone who's personality you only know from the internet, you're being a bit of a prick yourself, don't you think?
@FYIRBetter I have met him in person, while he was on tour. I asked for an autograph, he laughed and kept walking. Plus he's always talking shit on his blog about other artists and issues that really don't concern him.
CunninLynguists are one of the most artistic and musically innovative hip-hop groups out there, period. Thankyou Anthony, and nice review they're albums are consistently great and they hardly get any attention.
I love songs that "progress", as you put it. Like the song chase scene from the BSS' latest (and worst) album. Röyksopp's Röyksopp forever is maybe the best example of a progressing tune. the first tune from TMV's frances the mute has also a cool "progression" in it.
Thank you so much for the review. I listened to the album already, first glance I think the production was a little overwhelming and didn't like it (i usually tackle genres in phases and never really investigated hip-hop so much so its all i've been listening to for the past while), but listening to it now again I like it a lot, your review helped a lot. Thanks man!
I thought this album was fantastic, although I have a friend who is reviewing it for rhythmcircus.co.uk, and he said that with more listens, this actually got worse.
this album is absolutely beautiful. in my book it is more of a 9. the lyrical concepts are brilliant and very deep and the production is so unique, clean and beautiful. but maybe thats me but to me this is a solid 9
You've gotta review NOIR by Blue Sky Black Death. I just got this in the mail today and it's a masterpiece. So beautiful. Especially appropriate to mention on this video since they tour and work with CunninLynguists.
(general comment) Although I don't always agree with your ratings/ "feelings" toward an album/song (obviously, it's subjective)... it seems like you the take time and give thought to what is going on / what the artist is trying to do. and i appreciate that.
my favorite song was Dreams, mostly because it is a complete banger beat. the album felt a bit cheesy and light, though i think it's more improved version of kno's solo album, just the beats are a bit lighter, so it could leave more room for the others.
So Cal does the edits? Damn, he's pretty talented, except for one mistake on the last video. I guess it's true what they say, about Anthony holding him back.
Anthony, could you please review Wagon Christ's newest LP "Toomorrow"? I'm really interested in hearing what you might think of it. I think it would be something totally new for you review wise. Wagon Christ is a sampling guru and his beats are lush. It is Luke Vibert's most widely known moniker and he is signed to Ninja Tune which includes other prominent artists like Amon Tobin, Daedelus, Blockhead, and many more. I have a feeling you might enjoy the album and I hope you give it a chance.
Could you review a French Canadian band named: Malajube. The new album named: La Caverne just came out and it's pretty good. I would like to hear your opinion on a French alternative band. BTW I love your show and your blog, keep up the good work!
