Neptune Estate by King Krule

(0 Ratings)

Track

"King Krule doesn’t seem too concerned with genre definitions, which is something I’ve noticed about younger artists. You could review him and say, “It’s a little bit hip-hop, it’s a little bit jazz” – but that’s boring."

"The Autobiography of Malcolm X changed my life. I read it when I was 15, and that — along with discovering Public Enemy and Afrocentric hip-hop — kind of went hand in hand as a consciousness-builder and creator."

"They’re a little known hip-hop crew, descended to earth from a magical realm. They delivered some of the most hardcore, gangster rap rhymes I’ve ever heard. Channeling Dre, channeling Nate Dogg, channeling Mystikal, channeling all of my heroes"

Rolling Stone's 138th greatest album of all time
Good hip hop album. Very similar in style and theme to NWA for obvious reasons. Having Snoop's distinctive voice on a number of tracks helps break the monotony that starts to creep in at times.

Rolling Stone's 302nd greatest album of all time
Superb hip hop from Chuck D et al. Such strong socio-political statements that can't be ignored (though lets face it, they largely were for quite some time) layered on brilliant sampling and mixing.

Rolling Stone's 437th greatest album of all time
A decent hip hop album. Some cringey lyrics about lollipops and so on, but overall pretty good beats and music as well as the rapping itself. "How the Beat Builds" was a particular highlight.
