I can pm a link if you like. I've heard Yasiin/Mos say he is a big fan of Mach Hommy and Earl (and obviously MF Doom), and you definitely hear that in terms of the production and the way he's rapping now. I think a lot of fans of the first record might not like it, but it's right up my alley.losthighway wrote: Sun May 08, 2022 2:26 amDo you have a Luminary subscription?Happyman wrote: Sun May 08, 2022 12:52 am New Black Star is really good. Nothing like the first. More in common with Madvillain, Mach Hommy, Jay Electronica, Kendrick and Earl.
I listened to OG on YouTube and thought it was interesting. More spacey, sort of lo fi production. The original album was so energetic and punchy, I think it might take me some listens to get used to the new style. Mos has gotten more mumbley!
I'm not sure why they chose to put OG on youtube. it works in the context of the whole album, but it's the last song i'd choose to create interest.
