  • Praktik - Dobra Częstotliwość

    Jun 23 2009, 20h28 por Litoslav

    Początkowo może się wydawać, że płyty, które recenzuję w ramach cyklu "Musisz to znać" to same rewelacje, ew. bardzo dobre pozycje. Nic z tych rzeczy! Są albumy, które powinniśmy znać nie ze względu na efekt finalny, a jedynie biorąc pod uwagę jeden czynnik wyróżniający. Właśnie takim materiałem jest "Dobra Częstotliwość", czyli producencki krążek Praktika. Czym się wyróżnia i dlaczego nie jest to żadna rewelacja?

    "Dobra Częstotliwość" to przede wszystkim - jak na producencki album przystało - znakomite bity Praktika. Warszawiak jawnie inspiruje się jazzem - nie jest to jednak ani Jazzmatazz, ani kojący jazz-hop w stylu Blue Scholars bądź Common Market. Ot, po prostu rap z dużą domieszką jazzu, ogromną ilością jazzowych sampli. Troszkę szkoda, że Praktik korzysta z aż tak wyraźnych bębnów - moim zdaniem przy mniej charakterystycznych łatwiej byłoby wuluzować się, odpłynąć. Inna sprawa, iż to raczej kwestia gustu - tak czy siak bity kolegi Dizkreta niemal zawsze miażdą. Ba, oszołomić słuchacza udaje mu się nawet wtedy, kiedy porzuca jazz i hip-hop zaczyna mieszać z funkiem ("A Portret") bądź soulem ("Jestem Tu", "Mamy tu co robić").

    Co takiego więc nie do końca zagrało? To, co zwykle na płytach producenckich, czyli zaproszeni goście. Swoją drogą, jest to pewne przekleństwo tego typu albumów. Krążków, na których wszyscy goście prezentują wysoki, równy poziom można szukać ze świecą. w dłoni Na "Dobrej Częstotliwości" ponad wszystkich wybija się Pezet, pojawiający się w aż dwóch kawałkach. Jego "Biznes" i "Kilka Lat Później" to moim zdaniem jedne z najlepszych utworów, które wydał na świat polski rap. Cechują je przede wszystkim świetne linijki, krytycznie opisujące sytuacje na rodzimej scenie hip-hopowej. Dobrze spisali się też Mes oraz Lilu, natomiast Dizkret już tylko nieźle, jakoś bez większej ikry. Po JWP nie spodziewałem się za wiele i ani trochę się nie pomyliłem. Ero i Foster wypadają blado, ich numer można spokojnie pominąć.

    "Dobra Częstotliwość" to porządny album producencki, który jednak byłby znacznie lepszy, gdyby nie niektórzy goście - Pezet zjadł tu wszystkich, nawet Mesa. Płytę trzeba jednak docenić za naprawdę pierwszorzędne bity. Szkoda, że Praktik od dawna nie wyprodukował niczego znaczącego. Myślę, że gdyby w końcu coś wypuścił, to byłaby to prawdziwa bomba. Póki co, przed nosem mamy "Dobrą Częstotliwość", która niestety nie może otrzymać oceny wyższej od siódemki z plusem. Siedem za bity, plusik za Pezeta. Sprawdźcie to, w końcu musicie to znać!

  • The Power of Action, Words, and Music: Lovefest's Interview with Macklemore!

    Jun 3 2009, 22h53 por samiha

    Hip-hop just hurt me so good. It left me with an overwhelming sense of inspiration, encouragement, and affirmation. It reminded me that music and musicians can really change minds, lives, and worlds. I am a big believer in being involved with social justice and community activism, and nothing makes me happier than when these two things are combined with hip-hop to form the ultimate trifecta. It’s rare, but if a musician pulls this combination off with genuine sincerity and commitment, I’m a goner.

    It happened with Macklemore, a Seattle-based rapper who just finished a tour with Black Clover’s Grieves and his partner-in-crime and producer Budo.

  • Some hidden gems that you might like too

    Mai 10 2009, 19h40 por sflegend

    Well my interest in "jazz hop" was reignited again. It's something about listening to soulful, funky samples that I like listening to. I guess listening heavily to J Dilla (aka Jaydee), The Pharcyde, Pete Rock, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots will do that. I wanted to find some artists on smaller record labels though. I did some digging over here and found out about the Goontrax label. It seems like they have several jazz hop type artists signed under their label. If you like any of the artists mentioned above, you might like the artists I'm going to list below:

    Clutchy Hopkins (it's more instrumental, but still mind blowing to me everytime I hear a track from this artist)

    Tha Connection

    Nate Krooks - I like the conscious lyrics without being over-pretentious about it

    Shingo Suzuki

    Dday One

    Blue Scholars

    Luck-One & Dekk


    Surreal

    G Frequency

  • 3 Years REWIND

    Fev 6 2009, 9h16 por SaintAlex

    So the deal is that I've been here three years now ! I don't know what I'm gonna write here but I did it last year too, so...

    When I check my charts from last 12 months I see that Atmosphere was THE SHIT last year ! They dropped their newest album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold back in April, so I listened that A BIT much and I had their discorgaphy too on my computer... You know the rest, check 'em out if you haven't heard 'em yet (which I heavily doubt).

    The year 2008 wasn't that hot to me musically because of my army thing that lasted from July to early January so I couldn't discover very much new music back then.

    At the second place last year there was Blue Scholars. They didn't drop much shit last year. Only some EP stuff and videos but I discovered those guys back in twenty-oh-seven and that was so fresh that I've listened the Scholars almost every day from then.

    At the 4th place of last year there's Common Market. They has the same producer that Blue Scholars has, only the MC is different. Their wordplay is superb! You should check 'em out. Sabzi on the cut produces crazy joints to both Blue Scholars and Common Market so every track is worth listening.

    Then some individuals that I should notice so the diversity of my musical taste stays on the humane state.

    In the 5th place there is a super chill piano rock band Socratic. That's some stuff you put on the boombox and chill with your friends layin' on grass and doin' some nothing whole day. Nothing specific mentions here but check it out.

    Inside the Top 10 there's umm... melodichardcorerockpunkorchestra (we all love last.fm tags, don't we?) Rise Against. I've been listening to those guys since I was a kiddo playin' Tony Hawk. They dropped a new album last year but I mostly listened their older stuff. That's why they are at my top ten year after year. They're on the spot 9.

    The 7th place goes to Nujabes. He's a Japanese producer that produces some way more chill stuff than your favorite producer! Can't say anything interesting about him but he just confirms that I've been listening too CHILL music last year. I just should listen some hardcore metal this year (not)...

    Other artists on the Top 10: Ivan Ives, Masta Ace, Nas and the only Finnish act Pyhimys. As Ivan Ives is Russian guy, there's a nice diversity on the countries. There's some Canadian, Japanese, American, Finnish, Russian...

    The most listened track last year was way too easily Valehtelija. A local girl rock / pop band that's on their way to the top. I got their first demo last year and that track is from that demo. The second place holds Summon the Clouds. Poor Jim is from my neighbour city and I discovered them from MySpace when I was looking for acts that could play in a rock concert that me and some other guys held in our town. Guys rocked though we had such a crappy audience. At the third place TocarRock to It is earned its place there. Crazy canadian guy with crazy flow and crazy track.

    I'm so tired now so I just put the Top 3 albums from last year here.

    1. Bayani
    2. Boy-Cott In The Industry
    3. Natural Progression

    Starting the 4th year now...
