I'm not convinced of this. In fact I think it's wishful thinking, to be honest. I don't think Andre really gives a fuck. I do wish we'd hear something new from Big Boi some time soon. But Andre seems to be more or less sick of the industry.

i don't know man.. i always believed in D'Angelo even though his album was considered a myth, it took 14 years but at last it happened. Andre's album is in the same boat, along with Jay Electronica's album, Detox, Madvillainy 2 and DOOMSTARKS..

the new Denzel is highly disappointing, coming from someone who really liked Nostalgic 64. the two singles are my favorite songs. it took him two years to craft this album then he barely shows any development, a shame really.

What's that new Denzel Curry album called? Is it this "32 Zel Planet Shrooms" EP I'm reading about?

yes, "32 Zel / Planet Shrooms", it's basically split into two 7-track EP's.

Hmm. I'm not terribly impressed with the execution or the production of the concept or the sound, and considering the fact that this release looks like shit and isn't on iTunes (not to mention the fact that I had to learn about its existence here) it really feels like a half-baked, or possibly just really lazy attempt at a follow-up to N64 (which was not only on iTunes, but a featured album on the service.)

It garnered almost exclusively positive reviews from fans and critics, and probably ended up being the biggest mixtape release of 2013 -- for anyone who wasn't listening to Indigoism, of course).

This new "album" is like a total regression. BUT, I have given 5-star rating to several of the tracks already ("Envy me" has a climax that kills... The scratches and epic instrumental track at the end is hot- I wish the whole song was like that.... And the next track "Ultimate" goes hard too)

What the hell is the deal though? We go from album quality mixtape with slick production and awesome artwork to this shapeless, vibeless, collection of underproduced gangsta nostalgia?

What's the story?

[Severian]

Oh, hey, the other day I found a 3-disc Kool Keith release in the new releases section. I can't remember what it was called, but it was purpleish... Not purple like lost masters, but instead it was purple hued cover art. It was dated 2015 but I can't find anything in iTunes or Spotify to corroborate this.

Just a reissue in a fancy package? Wish I could recall the name.

[Severian]

Also, why the complete lack of interest in HudMo's new album?

I seriously have the thing. It's unreal. I thought this might get a few people at least a little excited.

Listen to "Scud Books" ... It's ... It's goddamn triumphant, guys. ⅓ Superhero theme, ¼ epic film score, ⅓ club rager. It's like being on ecstasy without all the dumb shit.

Ice Cube reveals plans for NWA live reunion, hints at Dr Dre's involvement


"It's just gonna be a great night," Ice Cube told Rolling Stone. "It's just gonna be one of those 'I wish I were there in LA nights.' And we're gonna rock that shit, no problem."

Special guests Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg and Schoolboy Q have been announced, with fellow NWA members MC Ren and DJ Yella signing up for the show also. Dr Dre has not yet been confirmed, but Ice Cube hinted at his involvement, saying: "You know, if you wish upon a star, you never know." If all four surviving members do reform, it will be their first performance together in 26 years.

NWA formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1991. The group's fifth member Eazy-E passed away in 1995. The band had a partial reunion in 2000, but Yella was not involved.

Speaking to NME, Ice Cube was asked if making the film might inspire either a studio reunion or even a live comeback.

"I'd say don't rule anything out," he replied. "It could happen. Hopefully doing this record project will inspire Dre to make more records again. I think the movie will remind a lot of people the importance of who we were and what we did – including us. We're here to give the people what they want so who knows what will happen after the movie."


What I wouldn't give to be at this gig.

Personally i find this total bullshit. Yella wasn't involved in the first reunion becauae NWA had beef with Snoop AND Cube..
Now cube wanna fake it again?
Meh

Nah man, I've had that shit for a while. I said it wasn't Lost Masters because I thought people might only hear "purple," but it's a totally different kind of purple, even though I can't remember anything else about the big fat 3-disc packaging.

It kinda looked like purple smoke over a black backdrop, and I'm pretty sure the cover was animated. I thought it must be a reissue or something, maybe a 3-for-the-price-of-one collection of a few albums that, when put together, were given a different, box set title. Like Flaming Lips' "Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid" and "The Day They Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg" and "Heady Nuggs"... But now I'm really curious because I swear it was dated 2015, and I'd never seen it before.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Yeah, Cube is like a career fake-ass at this point. He's like awful. What a corny motherfucker.

If Dre was involved and this was serious shit, I would be pumped. Not because of a new album (how awful would that be?), but because of the prospect of a tour with the full surviving group. Early NWA is an all time high point for rap in my opinion.

But currently it's about as exciting as "Flag" or the Biafraless Dead Kennedys. I mean, shit. Y'know?

[Severian]

Hudson Mohawke, motherfuckers!!!

Cilvia Demo is still pretty damn good. if Isaiah gets just a little better on his next project, whoa..

Ok, a retail release of a 3-part mixtape series about sex, produced entirely by Kool Keith and DJ Junkaz Lou, scratches by the latter.

Well, so... Not really new music. Not a new official album certainly. And not something that sounds particularly worth the money based only on the description (where the f*** is Kurt?)... But still, I'm intrigued enough to give this a proper listen.

The cover art is pretty incredible, but I'm a bit ashamed that I didn't remember that "TOTAL ORGASM" was the title. Maybe I'm frustrated.

[Severian]

Anyway, thanks NR. I think I'm gonna check the individual volumes out.

 

[Severian]

Hey, did you guys realize that there's a new album by Inspectah Deck's CZARFACE project (featuuring 7L & Esoteric) due out on June 16th?

 

I am checking it out now actually. I think I'm gonna order one of the fancy deluxe CD or LP issues with the comic and the cool packaging.

Not sure if any of you recall, but Czarface's first album was extremely entertaining. Check this shit out.

[noisereductions]

Yeah i think Doom has a cameo
