Albums Black Milk - DiVE (Discussion Thread)

Another great project from Black, dude is building a hell of discog

And to think he didn’t even want to be a rapper

To be honest I don't think you would reach a consensus if you polled a 100 Black Milk fans. Tronic would probably lead the way since that was really his big break through but his rapping is way better these days and his production style has shifted in a different direction since then.

Very well said.

My fav album is 365 by Black Milk

Mine too.

I feel like that's where he hit his peak as an MC and finally matched his production.

I always felt Album of the Year could have been his best project if it weren't for the loud ass drums on there. I know it was part of the live instruments but Black shoulda toned those down a little because it overpowered some of the production.

People were upset with the live drumming that was prominent on 365.

I don’t think he’s got less than a 4 mic album personally.

Black NASA is a monster. Why isn’t this stickied?

On everything, it feels like Oddisee and Black Milk make music literally for me.

I've been a fan of them since their starts and it feels like their taste and styles developed exactly the same as mine. So when their sound matures/switch up, it's like I'm perfectly ready for it.

Yea the response to AOY was pretty tepid because of the live instruments not meshing well, he scaled all that shyt back with the releases that came after.

I also recall people thinking he was saying he had the best album of the year with the title 'album of the year' when it was really just him covering that year of his life.

Album of the year with Bandana. Black Milk has gotten better artistically with every release and this is literally a premium Soulection album with no skippable tracks.

Off the first few listens, my favorites are:
Save Yourself
Blame
Relate
Tyme

People need to give Black Milk his flowers because dude has transcended the “Producer that raps” label is just genuinely an elite artist.

 

[TezMilli]

Album is damn near perfect. Prolly up there as one of Black's best projects
