O.C. ....Times up

[THE_R_]

SPEAKING OF O.C., TROPHIES IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

GOAT Album. I do prefer Jewelz though. One of those rare instances where a 2nd album is better than the debut. Both are fire albums though.

Truth be told I slept on his first album.

But I did cop Jewelz.

In fact, I copped When Disaster Strikes, Jewelz and Organized Konfusion's album Equinox on the same day.

2nd verse hit so hard,you can name a hand full of rappers who this verse can relate to lol.

I said it before and I'll say it again, for all you young cats that were born in the 80s and came up in the 90s;

If you listen to Times Up, I Used To Love Her, Can It Be So Simple, Old School and Juicy, they're telling you something. They're saying they grew up on Hip Hop in a different generation. A generation before the generation that they were members of. They're saying that Hip Hop was better in the 80s. Then you got Snoop redoing Lodi Dodi...and The Vapors? What do you think they're trying to say?

Man it's a must. He mentions how he and Jay Z tight and a lot of stories traveling from Queens up to the Bx. I've rode the train in NYC before, that is a long as ride lol. Rode it from BK to Harlem off 2 big ass pints of Guiness, had to piss the whole way lol

Buckwild is the most underrated producer ever. Dude got classics for days and his style is undetectable.

From Biggie to Big L

Dude is just nice with it

Dope interview regarding Times Up

 

[king hassan]

I like how he said everybody tried to have their own signature sound and not copy the next man. That is true because you can tell a Preemo, from a Dre to a Pete Rock, to Q-Tip, I can always tell when they produce something

Now it's all about "so and so has the hot sound right now, so let's make something just like it and get paid". And people clown the producers that stick to what made them who they are.

That just separates the casual listener from a true music lover. Shit I can listen to a song and catch the sample off the first few bars, some I have to dig for

Before tha "digital era" when CD's, tapes and vinyl had packaging I used to read them cover to cover just to see who produced what and what sample was used....I miss tha days of opening an album and reading thru tha credits and shout outs and shit...

Man, do they even do that anymore. I still cop cd's on Amazon and i don't recall if they on there anymore. And you see in that Buckwild interview he says how people don't even be in the same space anymore when making a song, they be in different states instead of sitting there vibing together

I KICKED IT WITH BUCK IN HIS STUDIO WHEN HE WAS STILL IN THE BRONX BACK IN '07. COOL/HUMBLE CAT.

Word...Life is one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made. It's my top 10. It has everything - message and lyrics are timeless, production is smooth, jazzy and multi-layered, perfectly matched to O.C. not so-agressive delivery. Listened to this album yesterday and I love it just as much as 20 years ago.
