Terrace Martin - 3ChordFold [Discussion Thread]
« on: August 12, 2013, 04:10:10 PM »
I just downloaded it off amazon and I'm spinning it. I'm at the second last track and I can tell you this is real music, grown up, sophisticated and well played. Terrace Martin definitely is one of the best producers and musicians that the west has brought up since the 2000's! Great album, really soulful!

Terrace Martin is my favorite artist besides DJ Quik. Nobody active in the game is touching him right now. Terrace is in a league of his own in my view. If he keeps putting out music and stays in the game for a few more decades, his corpus of work might surpass Quik's.

im loving this from start to finish...    Terrace is a genius and the Quincy Jones comparison is spot on...  you never know what to expect.. this album is like a hip-hop, jazzy-funk gumbo masterpiece ...narrow-minded music fans need not apply. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

if i had to pick a favorite after one listen...i would have to pick Angel (and the hidden MJ remake "Can't Help It")

Streamed this from djbooth


This was worth my time, the album is pretty consistent from beginning to end. The tracks themselves are fairly tight. Terrace definitely put the best of his recent sound on there. The compositions and melodies are still arguably spongy and lightweight, but nothing unlistenable. Standouts of the album are Terrace's sublime Saxophone, some of the female monologues and Tone Trezure's scene stealing voice.

Overall it's good music but still Terrace is juggling too many sounds and switching between being a pretty bad singer and a wack rapper. When what he really does well is being a gifted Saxophonist (something too few and far between on the album) and to me he's just not playing to his main strength. In terms of hiphop his best previous material had been his production collaborations with other established producers like 9th Wonder, Crazy Toones etc. His musicianship is undeniable, but as a solo producer or artist he's still got a way to go.

6/10

that's always been my take on Terrace Martin's music, but I have somewhat high expectations for this album, but I'm not surprised reading feedbacks such as Will B's. Need to find a link before buying it.

I disagree with the idea that Terrace has a ways to go as a solo artist. The reason some people think this is because Terrace is simply an unconventional, but very true-to-himself kind of artist. He's not trying to present people with a consistent image and an easily classifiable sound. His music is eclectic, but I think it is doper because of its eclecticism. To me, Terrace is one of the most complete artists out there. Whether he's rapping, singing, producing, using the vocoder, or playing the sax, the nigga is dope.
