I Rip It Hardcore Like a Hip Hop Album Club
Quote:
Earl Sweatshirt "Earl" http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...52/2998358.jpg More of a rough demo than an album, 16 year old Earl Sweatshirt delivers a sick, funny and creative release (produced by Tyler, the Creator, also of Odd Future fame.) Many people have called him (and his Odd Future brethren) the future of hip hop, and with such talent at such a young age it's easy to see why. PM me if you need assistance locating this album. |

I think it's cool you throw up an album suggestion but we probably should stick to Tore's format or similar and throw up a poll for next album. Or we can piece it together first. Cuz I don't have Earl yet. I'm going to be very active in this thread if it works. Or if it doesn't. |
Cool to see another album club :) Hip hop is not my thing, but I might join in if I see something interesting. I really hope it works out, so good luck!
|
I'll DL it and see what I think. Good idea for a thread. Hopefully more people get interested in doing this.
|
I'll be up for this one, although I like prog the club for it seems to never choose things I'm a big fan of. Downloading now.
|
Downloading now. Can't wait to hear it.
|
I really dig this album. Everything sounds pretty rough, but dudes got nice flow and he says some pretty crazy stuff.
PS is it ok for me to post the link to the album download? |
I don't know how cool that is with the moderators anymore, I know we use to but got wicked paranoid about the RIAA. Anyway,
This album isn't as strong as Tyler, the Creator's release but it still holds a special place in my heart. Like abearmauledme said it's rough, but I have a special heart for lo-fi music and demos so that's part of the appeal to me. I think it's funny and at the same time very uncomfortable - which is something I like in music. Quote:
On that note who wants to sign up to post the next album? |

Anyways, to Abearmauledme, no album download links on the forums please! |

I'll go third.
Also, the Earl album is sooooooooooooo good. |
Anybody that wants to participate must have like 10-100 albums they want to suggest, ya know. We really just gonna get in line, like I got fourth album? I'm kind of waiting to see what happens here at this point. Also, still need to grab EARL...

Does anyone else think I should just revamp this and we should start fresh or keep rocking it with Earl and then morph into it for next time? I'm impulsive, and not just about shopping and drugs apparently, but about internet album clubs. |
yeah leave it the way it is for now with Earl then with the next one change it up a bit to what you wanted to
|
Don't worry about littering the forum with polls and stuff. I'll clean it up for you :)
|
I'm in board with the club if we can all now suggest an album for next time, so that there can be a poll.
We should have a thread on the album Earl poppin' off by 1/10/11? As in, listen to it by then and do a mini-review? If that sounds fine. My album suggestion for inclusion in the first poll is Panacea's first album, Ink Is My Drink, 2006. If you need any help with the club, setting up the polls, or anything, let me know. |
idk i like the idea of taking turns suggesting an album. for two main reasons, one it means everyone gets their fair shake at it, and two, it means the responsibility is kinda shared. like, you sign up for your album, you post it and kinda moderate the discussion and so on. it makes it more community oriented.
|
I think Tore's format barely works at keeping people interested and coming back. If there isn't a given structure and leader willing to basically keep everything going, it will probably fall apart. Any of these clubs need structure, leadership, and organization to keep moving unless all the posters involved are really passionate about the idea... Just my 2 cents.
So where are we gonna write about Earl? I'm going through it for the 2nd time now. |
The way I do it is to keep doing it even when/if I'm the only participant :p: I think hip hop might interest more people than prog and fusion does though!

sleepyjack, are you gonna lead this thing? Cause if you dont want to or whatever, we should definitely appoint someone to kinda take charge of this. I am kinda confused to... I am downloading the album now, will a thread be made to discuss this? |
I'll lead it and make the thread to discuss now, sorry. It was kinda being discussed in here so I thought what the hell.

I'd like to nominate Chiddy Bang's The Preview
|
I nominate Viktor Vaughn's Vaudeville Villain.
|
I nominate Charizma And Peanut Butter Wolf's Big Shots
|
I'm glad I finally got motivated to check out that Earl Sweatshirt stuff. It's about what I expected, if not maybe a step up. Very interested on seeing how/if he progresses in the future, or if he falls for the trap and gets swept into a label before he's able.
I'd like to nominate Macklemore- The Language of My World |
I nominate Pomegranate by Astronautalis
|
Poll needs to close today or tomorrow. We've got a solid bunch of suggestions. Hopefully someone will get more than one vote per album aka hopefully some more folks will join in on the club and vote, b/c it seems like everybody has a suggestion.
:tramp: Getting excited though :tramp: |
I'll do the poll on Sunday.
|
After the winner of the poll happens, next week do you do another poll with the rest of the nominations? or are new nominations placed?
|
I guess add new nominations, but keep the old ones too.
|
Quote:
WHO DON'T GIVE A FLYIN' FUCK WHO AIN'T NOT FEELIN' HIM? seconded. |
New nomination: The Coup- Pick a Bigger Weapon.
|
New nomination:
Magic Heart Genies - Heartifact Upstart with freestyle pioneer and veteran Myka9 and relatively (more) unknown JtheSarge, rapping out of the pot capital of California, Humboldt. Infusing new ideas lyrically and production wise, this album is great for hip-hop heads interested in positivity, and relaxing with some good grass. |
Yaya, more noms. I like that you wrote a description too. In the future, I'm not going to require it, but it'd be awesome if people could do this because it looks nicer for the initial post and I haven't heard all of these so I can't do it myself.
Anyway, I'm posting the new poll tonight, so post some new nominations plz. I'll keep the old ones still. |
new nomination
Rhymefest - El Che Rhymefest, is an American hip hop artist from Chicago, Illinois. He co-wrote Kanye West's "Jesus Walks", which won a Grammy at the 47th Grammy Awards. His album El Che is slightly a bit of a concept album which he plays out through some of the skits. He's pretty much playing a hip hop version of Che Guevara. In this track, Prosperity. He takes aim at the commercialization of Faith. I wanted to include this video because it's funny as hell |
I won't be on this week, so I hope there's no complaints that I'm going to make the second place album of last week's polls the album of the week this week. Sorry, I'll have the new nominations added when I'm back. Astronautalis' Pomegranate will be the next album.
