posted Sunday, June 17, 2012 9:50:44 AM Too bad DZA has released very little quality material since that tape. He's a dope emcee IMO, but his beat selection/features/concept has been weak since then. Not even impressed by that Harry Fraud collab, but I've only listened to it a couple times. Maybe I'll throw it on right now. Ski Beatz really laced him, although his stuff has been a lot weaker since 2010 also.
TDTB = AOTY 2011
Smoovth, Wildeluxe, Bamcirca86, all underrated albums from 2011

posted Sunday, June 17, 2012 9:57:53 AM Agreed. I dont really like DZA's beat selection as much at the moment. So many great beats on Kush The Button, hard to live up to.
I really like TDTB too. Only just ordered a physical copy of Red Dot Plot. Any idea if digicrates.com is reliable?

posted Sunday, June 17, 2012 10:02:54 AM DZA's emceeing is also getting worse, too many "rightttttt"s, but the beats on George Kush were just incredible. On the Pilot Talk albums too. Everything I've heard lately from Ski seems to be very Rock based.
I never order records online. Red Dot Plot is great though. Top 5 album from 2011 for me.

Yeah, Ski Beats needs to get back to that sound. The production on Pilot Talk 1/2 and Kush The Button sounded like Hip Hop should sound at that time (and still now). They were the perfect progression from the early 2000's production sound in Hip Hop imo.
The riiight thing is pretty spent now.
Any other albums to recommend? I can't get into that AbSoul. I've only skimmed through 4 or 5 tracks on youtube though...
