    It's so weird that almost nobody talks about that Shrapknel album. Easily one of the best this year.

    Yeah, that Shrapknel album is one of my favorites so far this year. It seems like almost no one is talking about it, so I'm glad you did. Of course the Mach-Hommy album is something special. That almost goes without saying. Anyone who has heard it knows.

      Lupe lost his mind on some of those tracks. Even though they aren't as cinematic i'd go as far as to say his rhyming was Mural level on most songs.

    The title song RICHAXXHAITAN has some of the best flows and bars I've heard on a "radio friendly/pop" sounding hiphop record. Mach's flow on the 2nd verse is immaculate. The chorus had to grow on me.. really didn't like it at first, but now it fits so well to me

    I've been trying to get all of my friends onto this ShrapKnel. I really liked their last one but this one is seriously ridiculous. Between the layered beats, the flows, and the poetic fuckery - this album was crafted perfectly. I loved how I never knew what to expect.

    • @mykectown
      @mykectown  5 місяців тому

      Yeah, I'm really leaning into this one being my favorite. But I still can't tell if it's recency bias...or if it's really THAT good!

      @@mykectown What pushes this one ahead in my opinion is only really the replay value. I played select tracks from Metal Lung a lot, but this entire new LP is full of so many "holy shit" beat/rapping moments I'm gonna replay the whole thing often.

    I listened to ShrapKnel self-titled, Metal Lung, PremRock's Load-Bearing Crow's Feet, and Curly Castro's Little Robert Hutton. This new project is definitely their best. They just keep getting better and better.

    i haven't heard the Shrapknel project yet, but my interest to Shrapknel increased when i saw Controller 7's name on it. im 22 right now and i discovered Anticon when i was in my final teenage years. While im not into the rappers of that label, i love the producers on those projects back then. So when i saw Controller 7 on Shrapknel, i was excited. Definitely gonna check it out someday.

    both of these have been in heavy rotation for me, glad to hear you’ve been digging them 🙏
    besides the Lupe, would love to hear your thoughts on Previous Industries album that just came out, it’s the debut by Open Mike Eagle, Video Dave, and STILL RIFT’s group together, mostly produced by Child Actor, and a couple by Quelle Chris. also the new Boldy James and Conductor Williams album is dope.
    idk if you’ve talked about it yet but would love a review on Moor Mother’s album from earlier this year, love the sonic landscape she created on it and the way she commands attention in her music.

  • @slowre.4321
    @slowre.4321 5 місяців тому

    The first song is basically him introducing himself.... he says "Anmwe, Men Rasta" which roughly translates to Holy shit, the rastaman is coming. On serpent and rainbow at first i thought he was referencing Ayida-Weddo the loa spirit known as the rainbow serpent because i think it makes sense with the first but i think in the second verse when he says "where i'm from, en plein port-au-prince, u can't come" might be the reference tp the movie because not only the protagonist got pushed out of the country in the film but production had to be halted and resumed in Dominican Republic because of political turmoil. I could be way off lol with rappers like Mach, you start overthinking everything. Great review!

    Myke, if you’re into the ShrapKnel and abstract Backwoodz studios type stuff you gotta check out the new album from cropscropscrops. It’s titled “a conversation at the gas station about where to go next” and it’s seriously dope R.A.P. Ferreira-coded stuff, he even has one of the Ruby Yacht boys featured and it’s a tight 30 minute listen that I think you might really fuck with, the writing is real free-associative and packed full of imagery. He’s actually out two albums this year with different producers and they’re both dope but I think you’ll particularly fuck wit the newest one
