ITT: Great albums people slept on
I saw a trailer of that new movie by the District 9 guy. I thought I was so wrong when I thought they were acting in it.
>>53198807if /mu/ were actually patratican this would be in every hip hop thread
>>53199078I don't get what you were trying to say
What's so great about it?
>>53199105if /mu/ were actually patrician there wouldn't be any hip hop threads
>>53199370It's a cyberpunk hip-hop concept album
>>53199499That's a description of the theme, not of why it excels as an album.
>>53199370a fantastic and coherent story for a concept albumgreat beats and productionunique samplingWTJ's lyrical flowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLl0-I5kJMohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71XOhpPh_kUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMjLp0A6MeU
>>53199370Great production, great lyrics (If you don't kind a little cheese), GOAT backstory, innovative use of mp3 files, the fact that it was released on a hardcover book which included a story and a visual novel, and (although this counts as a pro and a con) In it's entirety it's almost 3 hours long
>>53199545One of the reasons it excels is because of its novel themes. It also manages to relate part of the basic idea of William Gibson's Idoru
>>53199571>>53199613Not that anon but that sounds pretty interesting. I'll check them out
>>53199810wait a sec, ill pull out links for both discs and the graphic novel, you need to listen to them all (not in one sitting of course)

>>53199868Shit, that would be very much appreciated.
I might be wrong but I don't think this album gets enough recognition.
>>53199890what bitrate are these?I got both disks off of Kickass a while ago but most of the mp3s are under 200kbps
>>53199890Thanks based anon. I'm downloading now.I don't know much about them except they're from South Africa. The concept seems interesting so I'll give them a chance.
>>53199966Disc 1 is in 320Disc 2 can only be found in 128 because mp3 files in 2003 were shit, yo
>>53199966A HQ disc 2 does not exist.
>>53200025Thank
even the band said it sucked but i think its pretty good.
>>53200196I think I listened to this and it was good
>>53200150Its part of the actConstructus Corporation, Max Normal, Die Antwoord, they're all character acts, and they can't be connected at all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_pS46YRMIQthis interview tries to give the illusion that they just became popular out of the South African Suburbs, even though both of them had moderately successful musical careers already.Also notice how he acts kinda dopey and aloof in this versus how enthusiastic he looks in his max normal interview before Die Antwoord:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUH_QQUAv14
What Gives?This was the feelsiest album of 2014U Fucking meemers
>>53200418Loved it. Was pretty pissed when it came in and it had a pitchfork review snippet on the wrapping though.
>>53199890good quality download thanks
