One of my favorite lines from woods

Can you tell me were to start with those artists?
I like elucid more noisier side, the death grips ish sounf that he does like furhman tapes any genre recs would bw okay

I dont listen to too much of it myself. Haven't found myself in a Death Grips-esque phase for a little while. But I've checked out Moor Mother in the past and both her albums are great for that kinda sound. Not as familiar with Nosaj but his group is called New Kingdom. He's also released two short ep's recently with Steel Tipped Dove which are in a similar heavy vein.

In terms of noisy hiphop style stuff I tend to get most of my mileage from people like woods and Elucid. Quelle's got some great cuts that are pretty abrasive. Shabazz Palaces. King Krule. Akai Solo's older stuff in particular has that kinda sound. Slauson Malone. Lil Ugly Mane. The new Zeroh album is really good for that too.

Shrapknel is worth a listen too. They released their first full length recently fully produced by Elucid. Its Curly Castro and PremRock of Backwoodz.

very interesting interview and a***ysis check it out

Rainy asf today -billy woods day

S/O this for introducing me to williegreen.bandcamp.com/album/a-suite-for-souled-people

"Don't talk about rights, or whats right, or what would happen if you were white". Geez woods can go in like no other when he wants to.

tried listening to paraffin the other day after seeing its reviews but I'm not seeing it

s*** hurt my head

Check hiding places

Billy woods needs a academic research paper published for his lyrics

or Dour Candy

I don't think woods' genius needs validation from academia, tho I understand your sentiment. I think breakdowns and appreciation posts on forums like these are well-received because we're fans of his in the first place

Be prepared to give it a few goes. Music takes time to digest

it doesnt need anybodys validation.
its just that english isnt my first language and whenever i read these alalytical pieces they give me something new to get from the artists, and i love reading about art.
sadly i dont have the attention span of reading a book

I really enjoyed that first interview. Tho I kinda hate when interviewers make it about themselves too much, but I still learned a lot about woods and elucid

Watched it a couple weeks back and remember really enjoying it too. Interviewer was Open Mike Eagle tbf so kinda dont mind if he interjects more than the usual anyone.

I feel you. I guess what I’m saying is that anyone can write a good a***ysis piece, it needn’t come from a scholar necessarily. Like that one on reddit, for example, is thorough and intriguing I think

Nah the other one lol. I’d be interested to hear about him!

Ah right right! Yeah I remember Donwill interjecting a ton in that one too haha. Did annoy me slightly also. The OME one is great. The very first link is that one.

yes it is very well written, i meant if somebody breaks down the technicality that woods uses it would be very informative and would give a new outlook to look at the art.

I hear you bro. What’s your first language? Why not write it in your native and then try to get it translated?

didn't know we had a billy woods thread i'm in
