TRONIC is freaking awse
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 January 2009 12:50 (seventeen years ago)
Weirdly, between the Fat Ray album, and the Elzhi (which he produced, what, 80% of?), "Tronic" may be the weakest full-length he put out last year, but it's still great. "Losing Out" was probably rap track of the year for me.
― Keep Carmody and Carry On (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 1 January 2009 12:53 (seventeen years ago)
"losing out" and actually a lot of this album sounds like jay-z rapping over some kind of basement tapes
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 8 January 2009 14:51 (seventeen years ago)
i.e. there's a kind of woozy clattery sound to even the most grandiose of the backing tracks..
i luv luv luv the live drumkit
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 8 January 2009 14:53 (seventeen years ago)
'Black milk' always makes me think of Death Fugue by Paul Celan
― Yehudi Menudo (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:11 (seventeen years ago)
what's a good live drum-ish track? i listened to a couple that sounded pretty cool but the rapping was in one ear out the other.

"Give The Drummer Sum"
― The boy with the Arab money (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:15 (seventeen years ago)
I kinda like the "meh" quality of Milk's rhymes as well, anything deeper than "You're dead like the corpse in the grave/Thoroughbred winner like the horse in the race" would detract from the beats.
― The boy with the Arab money (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:16 (seventeen years ago)
yeah, that's the best out of what i've heard.
xp
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:25 (seventeen years ago)
^ probably the worst line on the whole album
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:25 (seventeen years ago)
What's the relationship between this and Celan?
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:28 (seventeen years ago)
the helium voice on give the drummer sum is pretty annoying

Mordy, were you asking me cos I mentioned him?
― Yehudi Menudo (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:45 (seventeen years ago)
Nah. I didn't even notice your post. I just assumed there had to be a connection. (I even thought this was a Celan thread when I opened it.)
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:48 (seventeen years ago)
Haha, yeah me too! I think it's coincidence though.
― Yehudi Menudo (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:48 (seventeen years ago)
We should start a Celan thread tho. One of my fave poets of all time. (Top 5, easy)
― Mordy, Thursday, 8 January 2009 15:49 (seventeen years ago)
I need to hear that Elzhi record

The song on 'Tronic' with Royce the 5'9 kills so hard

yeah, that's "losing out"

on repeat listens he is beginning to sound a little complainy
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 12:05 (seventeen years ago)
tronic is dope. do i need to check out "popular demand"?
and yes, he is quite complainy, but that's just the nature of undie, no?
― moonship journey to baja, Monday, 3 August 2009 19:11 (seventeen years ago)
they're all good but the preface > popular demand > tronic imo

Fat Beats put out a free mix CD called "Elec" with all Black Milk related shit on it right before Tronic came out. it looks like you can DL it from here:
http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2008/10/black-milk-elec-mixtape
i think it is the best representation of his shit, and one of my favorite hiphop related joints of 08.
