My mistake, I meant to put the United Kingdom was founded in 1922... and I don't remember specifically him saying it was a U.S. artist, you know how Storf likes to beat around the bush lmao

Being an ignorant yank I had to look up what exactly happened in 1922 so I get where you're coming from.

Founding of the UK, founding of Japan... hmmm... I like it.

Slowthai’s “Nothing Great About Britain is a top 3 R&HH ROTM, along with Camp Lo’s “Uptown Saturday Night” and Handsome Boy Modelling School’s “So.....How’s Your Girl?”.

OutKast’s “Southernplayalisticadliacmuzik”, Method Man’s “Tical” & Juvenile’s “400 Degreez” are also

Listening to Slowthai it sounds like The Streets but way harsher.

Yessss! Exactly my thoughts! The production is beautiful, dense, depressing, and off-kilter!

Even the album cover reminded me of The Streets “Original Pirate Material” as soon as I saw it!

Very much so! I listened to it again and liked it much better the second time around. Hoping it’s this!

Just curious if that is a good thing or bad thing for you. I still haven't listened to that one. Need to.

Really like the first two Streets albums. I don't think I'll be going for this one but it definitely reminded me of the storytelling nature and humour of those early Skinner albums, even some of the beats are similar. Definitely a good thing in my books.

Have we confirmed it's not dababy

No this is all still wild speculation. But the Japan clue (if that's what it is) directly correlates to a previous guess for this month for Classics (Brubeck Jazz Impressions Of Japan), so it would appear that leaves 1922 for Rap Hip Hop so if you Google Great Britain 1922 you get Ireland forming their Republic and the UK basically becoming the UK as we currently know it... so that tends to point towards Slowthai...

I've been getting lost on the forum lately. Are we any closer to knowing R&HH next month? Please be The Lost Boy

Lost Boy is eliminated, looks like the front runner is Slowthai, who I am unfamiliar with but will give him a listen for sure

Noooo for The Lost Boy but I've been meaning to pick up Slowthai so that's all good thanks

It's pretty decent if you like UK hip hop

It's very leftist and like "Brexit fucked us up"

Yup the Irish. Yup the republic

Hud Dreems and How I Got Over back in stock.

Repress or leftovers?

 

[NewsFedora]

Probably leftovers as they hold back some for replacements.

 

[Jmcg85]

Hud Dreems - worst pick of the year imo, it was compared to dilla....oh the blasphemy it cuts so deep

Yah how dare people compare an instrumental hip-hop album of off kilter drums and soul samples to Dilla. You do realize Knxwledge samples Dilla all over Hud Dreems and he is one of his biggest influences along with Madlib, right? Comparing them is only natural.

That's where the comparisons stopped for me. The quality of the output is miles apart
