James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Everybody by Logic in Music
Nov 8, 2019
Unstoppable
Almost a perfect album, it's when Logic trips over the more pop moments he lets himself stumble, although, ironically, his anti suicide song, one of the poppiest moments that is a powerful stand out track.
Logic has an amazing flow, his vocals are bouncy and full of energy, his lyrics are positive and upbeat even when angry. This is great modern hip hop by a true emcee and artist rather than a mumble rapper.

Robert Lindsay (9 KP) rated A Modern Tragedy Vol 2 by Grandson in Music
May 26, 2019
All killer, no filler (2 more)
Extremely heavy and modern sounding
Leaves me craving to see them live
Razor sharp rock and hip-hop fusion
Discovered at random while searching for Rock music released this year, Grandson managed to be heavy and thrilling, while also utilising modern production techniques more usually associated with hip hop and electronic music, the fusion is excellent.
There are five tracks on this EP and each has a distinctive flavour. Apologize is a swaggering endorsement of the self, warts and all, which every listener can adopt as their own personal anthem. Stigmata is a full on, head down rocker that no doubt sets mosh pits ablaze. Is This What You Wanted is a searing enditement of facing the grinding misery of the world, compared with escaping it via indulgence and excess, slower than its predecessors but no less furious. Falling is a tripped out meditation on struggling with addiction. Darkside is the take of a would - be school shooter that drips with menace until it finally drops, when it becomes openly hostile.

Post metal concept album sounds terrible but actually it's not
Ads you may have noticed despite being a Hip Hop artist and mainly listening to Hip Hop I do love all music, if it good, I'll bang it through my speakers. However I must admit, although i love hardcore, metal is not my favourite genre.
This was recommended to me and the description sounded horrific, it is a sci fi concept album mixing shoe gazer with blast beats and songs getting to the ten minute mark. Yeah, terrible right? Well actually its really damn good. Parts of the album remind me of Belligerent Declaration where dark atmospheric slow meandering showcase, builds up the atmosphere before going full sonic heavy on your ears without ever destroying the feeling its creates. Its rare to listen to a song clocking over 8 minutes and then rewind it to listen again but I did.
Now I need to get their new one and watch out for them live.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox in Music
Oct 30, 2019
Revolutionary
Before they all fell out, El P got rappers Vast Aire and Vordul Mega together, with their slow lolloping flows over beats that still sound ahead of their time now to make The Cold Vein. So groundbreaking even extreme metal magazine Terroriser had it in their albums of the year. It crossed boundaries, changed what hip hop should sound like and set a benchmark for new music. They then all fell out and never did it again. Stupid as they could be very rich.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Mid90s (2018) in Movies
Dec 18, 2019
This brought back memories
Damn. I skated in the 90s and listened to hip hop this was me. Absolutely corker of a film from Jonah Hill, a kid meets a crowd of skaters deemed the wrong crowd but they help him in his transformation from kid to teen but are his heroes delinquent from their own trauma rather than just being cool?
Everything from the soundtrack to the direction is spot on. I loved it.

Ross (3282 KP) rated Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z in Music
May 29, 2020
Rolling Stone's 250th greatest album of all time
Fairly tedious hip hop debut by Jay-Z. Most of the lyrics are about making money (legally or otherwise) or spending it. Most songs include lists of designer labels, Cristal etc etc. I think this set the mentality for the next generation of rappers, and while there is at one point a note that "crime is bad", it is fairly well hidden and the rest of the album does somewhat glorify crime and set the goal in life as being "having things".
