the love below has finally won my approval
« on: March 10, 2004, 07:09:01 AM »
it's taken 5 months and the arguments of hundreds of people to finally get me to appreciate 'the love below.' not only appreciate, but consider it one of the better albums i've heard in a long time. today is the first day i can remember willfully listening to it because i actually wanted to hear the songs. and i sat on the subway listening like i listen to my favorite cds. patiently waiting for the next track, enjoying each second of each song.

maybe it's because i'm one of their biggest fans, and one of the actual people to buy their very first album the very first day it came out. damn. maybe someday i'll appreciate 'speakerboxx' as much as i now appreciate 'the love below.'

and it only took me 5 months.

Liked it the first time I heard it.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
