This album did NOT receive its praise it deserves imo. The whole thing is instantly identifiable as a crusade of reiteration/refinement. Pitchfork had the only good review imo. This thing slaps in so many layers, sonically and contextually. I have a hard time believing those who had reviewed were amiss to the glaring 'magnum opus' like feel to the whole project...... I certainly do not claim to know music theory by any figment of the imagination, nor chords/string theory/production/etc, but I know what sounds money. This sounds like Fort Knox.
@@LORDHAPPY2225 mostly because its hard to get through it, content wise and the heavy production. Its not something you listen with friends. But the album is fucking amazing
only listened to this for the first time today and it's quickly becoming a new all time favourite of mine. i love the kind of sense of community there is from this video. like it isn't just boldy's or sterling's album but it's DETROIT's album.
This album is up there with the greats of underground rap music, the ones that got production and lyrics on point. Reminds me to add this to the Madvillany, The Hermit and the Recluse tier.
Wtf I’ve been a casual Boldy fan, mostly on features, Bo Jackson, and The Price of Tea. I can’t believe I only heard of Manger a few days ago… this album in crazy. Boldy went different on this one and Sterling is craaaaazy. I’ve never heard such experimental beats with a decently well known rapper over them. They way the beats just constantly have all these different sounds coming in and out and all so different yet they mesh so well. Somehow these beats aren’t minimal but they sound both minimal and and a barrage of sounds at one time. Boldy going this different on such different beats is crazy. One of the best albums of all time and if Boldy was more well known, this would always be in a top album list.
Thank-you for this interview. It is important we here and understand the motivation behind the music...and respect the journey. Older folks are too dissmisive without respecting the journey.
Thank you so much for posting this. It was so terrific to hear Toles and James reflect on this breath-taking masterpiece. Manger on McNichols is truly a work of art, a lyrical and sonic journey into the hearts and minds of its two brilliant creators.
I'm just some young guy from New Zealand, this album changed everything I know about hip hop. Honestly one of the most unique albums I've ever heard and it deserves a place in the hall of fame. I feel blessed a documentary exists about this project, because the information surrounding the production and lyricism is almost as important as the album itself.
@@nawa1903 churr the bro. Nah man I got like 6 mates probably who listen to Griselda. I was shown them by a painter on site one day. Dude you going to the Billy Woods/ Armand Hammer show in March?
this is amazing. its so many beautiful stories in life like the ones told here that go untold, unnoticed, or unappreciated thank yall for capturing this one
This is more than just an album, boldy and Sterling got me in my feels whilst listening to this. Love and respect from the Uk

The average listener isnt built for an album like this, they see a song, we see art.
