Guest Zelmo Swift Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This just came out and is streaming here until the 21st. http://pitchfork.com/advance/257-nyc-hell-300-am/ Some good stuff on here, reminds me a bit of Dean Blunt (the guy from Hype Williams) - The Redeemer. I want to like this, but I can't. It's just too monotonous and repetitive. I think what he was doing on COLD and SUSHI worked, but this new one just feels...bleh. I dunno. What are your feelings on it? As for Dean Blunt, I think The Narcissist II is a masterpiece, but I could not get into The Redeemer musically. I love his singing voice and lyrics, but the synth strings put me off. Papi is the one track I could really get into. I hope he does more straightforward RnB stuff.

Guest Gravity Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Sushi is great yeah, I first heard it the other day but I enjoyed it a lot. This album doesn't seem like the sort of thing I'd listen to over and over but I do like some of the vibes it gives off. Stuff like Beautiful John K, QR JR, Stuck 1, Niggas, Vanity etc. I'm not too into the singing but as I said the vibe on some of these tracks is great. I haven't heard any of Dean's solo stuff besides The Redeemer. I actually liked the way he used the synth strings. Demon & All Dogs Go To Heaven were my favorites, but I haven't heard it in a while... I should listen to it again today.

Candiru Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I don't really get Dean Blunt, Hype Williams, etc. Who where when how why is this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zelmo Swift Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I don't really get Dean Blunt, Hype Williams, etc. Who where when how why is this They're probably kind of overrated as there's a lot of variability in the quality of their work, but I think they have moments of brilliance. They are a DIY project that managed to get a lot of press and exposure (by design?). The Narcissist II, although credited to Dean Blunt, could probably be considered a Hype Williams release. Inga Copeland sings on the title track, which might be their finest recorded moment. The release, as a whole, I find revelatory and deeply moving. If you can't get into The Narcissist II, it's likely you will never like Hype Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
