Cant wait for this!! Always been a fan of aesop as a producer and emcee. His nike + mix was dope if you guys havent heard it yet. Also whats interesting to me, is that he is putting this out on rhymesayers. I'd say rhymesayers is becoming quite the powerhouse of independent hiphop
Good looking on this thread, this is hands down my favorite genre. Some artists to check out if you havent:
shin-ski
kero one
marcus d
dj okawari
nomak
ino hidefume
Trying to thing of an atmosphere album that sucks...but I honestly dont think they have put out a shitty album. the lowest on my list is probably seven's travels. Maybe del's elevnth hour? Dj Shadow - the outsider
Nice post as always ruff, and don't worry I'm still around. Need to get back in the habit of posting...glad this place is hoppin again though for real. I missed the old essence and I feel like we own it again. After the IC was down forever and came back I thought we lost it. Alot of props...
Its definately a dope mix...I had heard most of the stuff on it already, but there were a couple gems I hadn't heard before like the stuff off absortion. Also I was impressed by that ayur track, Im pretty sure thats the original that nujabes sampled right? I was also diggin the ShinsightTrio...
given this a solid 2X playthrough and it is a solid album from front to back, Honestly i was skeptical, never really hearing any previous releases but rhymesayers delivers...
This is a great thread...i actually didnt realize some of these songs sampled the same beat even when I've heard them before. I honestly have to says slug murdered almost everyone...the only two i kinda wanna swing the other way on is the rakim track and maybe the GFK. BUT those are so close...
