2022-03-11 04:56:44 +0000 UTCYo you definitely gotta do Vince Staples! Heβs energy is much different than Denzel, but the lyrics and message are very similar. Summertime β06 is a really diverse album with loads of bangers. Also his newest Self titled album, is very similar to Unlocked. Itβs short and sweet, and fully produced by Kenny Beats. You can definitely do a double video day like you did with this!

2022-03-05 21:02:23 +0000 UTCYeah... I still haven't figured out the best way to manage that. I'm pausing with how I edit in mind. It's probably better to let it drop into the chorus first? Or maybe right before the last line or two completes.

2022-03-05 15:35:08 +0000 UTCYeah this album/ep (it's considered an EP but it's long enough and good enough that I think you can call it either) is incredible. You can really hear the production influence from MF DOOM with all these old vocal samples, it's great. Another personal note I want to add is this album has one of my favorite bars of all time "my bitch bad like battle rappers that make albums" I know that line won't mean much to you, but I used to be heavily into battle rappers/the battle rap community (battle rapping is when two rappers take turns rapping written disses at each other, with judges determining the winner after a couple rounds or so) and as talented as they are, man, they just CANNOT make a good album. I don't know what the deal is, maybe having a beat throws them off, maybe they just don't understand album structure, but they consistently make pretty bad stuff, so when I first heard that line, I laughed so hard which I rarely do to music

2022-03-05 10:28:17 +0000 UTCUnlocked is so dope. A good thing to listen after this, maybe on your own (tho I'm sure we'd all love to see a live reaction), is Denzel's 13LOOD 1N + 13LOOD OUT MIXX which can be found on his Youtube Channel. It's 13 minutes of pure Lunacy. (Maybe add it onto the end of Unlocked so you can finish a run)

2022-03-05 08:04:42 +0000 UTCPlus RTJ has worked with Zack de la Rocha a couple times, definitely a good comparison.

2022-03-05 06:43:51 +0000 UTCYou gotta listen to some DMX if you wanna hear some more raw grungy rap vocals hes the king of it RIP

2022-03-05 05:53:25 +0000 UTCthe pausing right before both choruses on DIET was killing me

2022-03-05 04:52:54 +0000 UTCshit i just realized bob will get to hear 'Palmolive' on Bandana. Killer Mike, Freddie Gibbs, Pusha T on Madlib production. NASTY track.

2022-03-05 00:39:21 +0000 UTCI have to say Bob, you've made a denzel curry fan very happy today!ππΎππΎ

2022-03-05 00:09:03 +0000 UTCI agree 100%, On his TABOO review he mentioned initially hoping for that aggressive sound Denzel had on his Bulls on Parade cover and RTJ definable have that aggression. Killer Mike is in my opinion one of the most aggressive rappers without compromising really deep and meaningful lyrics.

2022-03-04 23:53:59 +0000 UTCThe way you reacted to this project i Hope "Run the jewels" is on your list. Picture this sound from guys in their 40s.
Paul Salvador Estrada
2022-03-04 20:31:33 +0000 UTCYour growth as a hip-hop head is so apparent. I loved seeing you enjoy the absolute fuck out of this.

2022-03-04 20:26:11 +0000 UTCThe video in question isnβt necessarily the making of the album but a visual accompaniment to the album. When creating this album with Kenny Beats, Denzel wanted to make an animated short film for the project, using a different animation style for each song. Like one song uses 3D animation, one uses robot chicken style stop motion animation, another uses a black and white hand drawn animation that homages Junji Itos art style, etc. Itβs really cool
