Vince Staples - Summertime '06 (Discussion Thread) *Stream*

[Guess Who]

Is this dope?? what's the production sounding like?

You need good headphones/speakers because the bass is powerful and very layered, and the sounds are interpolated. It creates an interesting vibe...think of the movie Inception if it were music instead of a movie.

In other words, it's extremely dope and hypnotic, yet hard at the same time.

 

[T-K-G]

and if anynody got a problem wit the production just keep this in mind


he wrote all of these verses acapellla, didn't pick any beats until afterwards

idk if it was the npr interview or the sway Interview but when he said that shyt I was after relistening with that in mind I have to agree with Earl and Mac Miller

Vince is my favorite rapper right now, shyt is ridiculous

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

i expected a lil more, but this is still a dope album

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

shyt sounds like Hell Hath No Fury mixed with Yeezus

An album i hate compared to 2 albums i love

This is some bullshyt. Like the first paragraph makes me wonder if it's Vince he's talking about.

Vince Staples is hardly the ingratiating type. “Don’t shake my hands unless you passing payment,” instructs the redoubtable young’un on “C.M.B.,” a paean to ruthlessly mercenary, Randian capitalism. “Keep your salutation / I need my 40 acres.” This ice-grilling Left Coaster is more Mack 10 than Myka 9, a verbal marksman who refuses to placate admonishers or admirers. He’s one of the most depraved minds in his discipline (Cali stick-up kid rap), and new album Summertime ’06 bears that out. You’re not about to catch Staples choking back tears in a Grammy acceptance speech. The 21-year-old is most in his element choking on Long Beach’s loudest erb as he serves curbs, to borrow a phrase of WC’s, and tags idle cargo vessels.

I finally got around to listening to this a few times (thanks to the iT rip). This is good; really good.
