New Max B album has got some vintage stuff on it (and it sounds vintage, too, cos the vocals are quite badly recorded or mixed).

"Mountains" particularly has reminded me of how much I used to love listening to the boss Don Biggavelz.

Here’s my basis my razor embraces, many faces,
You’re telephone-blown, Black,
Stitches or fat shoelaces

- NAS 'Memory Lane' (over angelic choirs)

'And that last half is the best because it is so specific to New York City in 1994. If you were around, you remember kids carrying razor blades in their mouth, spitting them out in a crowded club with a puff of air, slicing another kid’s face from ear to the corner of the mouth… That’s why, contrary to what all the lyric websites tell you, Nas is not saying that his telephone is “blowing.” He’s saying “telephone blown,” meaning your face has been blown wide open with a telephone cut (also known as a buck-fifty, because of the number of stitches you’d need). The last line refers to your scar, either stitched up or left with a puffy “shoelace” keloid.'

there was that erick sermon or keith murray video where murray is flippin a razor blade in his mouth with his tongue. which i thought was kind of dangerous, and prob not the cleverest idea but i didnt know that that was a common thing. or that you could blow out a blade with that much force onto someones face and not get your own tongue cut in the process? weird.

not to be a spoilsport but ive got zero interest in listening to hiphop of any era at the moment. bored sick of it. although just to contribute this was a much talked about moment we all studiously ignored

BT is a weird one. he is obv incredibly gifted, just listen to 75 bars, BUT, he also seems like someone whos idea of what you could rap about, or how, is basically locked into around 1991? maybe even 1989? quite odd. hes also been so tightly wound since 96 or so, i actually prefer BT when he sounds like he can still relax a little from time to time. malik b was actually very overlooked. also peedi crack. anyway, i like BT on this.


this one too. so loose. not the typical BT type of flow.
