I'm bout to start on the album and I was trying to remember the last dope one. They all seem to suffer from either monotony TOO much eclecticism or wack guest appearances... I been bumping Flume's album heavy but I guess I mean something more "above" ground..

if you're talking typical hip-hop, Statik Selektah's last album came out really well with a lot of good guest verse. besides that, Disclosure's album Settle was really well put together with the guests all fitting the vibe

yea guess the disclosure album is the biggest so far.. seems that it has to be pretty niche based to work

I know folk will want to say its a combo but I don't know. Bad MC's can ruin good beats. Good MC's can make bad beats work.
You can probably guess my answer then.
So who you planning to work with, because ultimately I think it's how you tie the various parties involved into a theme that puts you the Producer at the center that does it.

To me, there is no saving a bad beat. After all, isn't the reason I'm listening to enjoy music? I suppose that it depends on what you care about more... In all honesty, I can easily tune out an MC; I've known a lot of people who primarily listen to a rapper though.
I can't imagine how I could like Livin' Proof if I couldn't do that. Sometimes I decide to listen to Nutcracker and think to myself "well I shouldn't have done that" and go back to enjoying to how dope Suspended in Time's beat is.

...over the years there have been a lot of decent songs that I only like just a little cause the rapper/emcee on it was spitting some dope shit or the rapper's flow was so good and sometimes matched the beat that he/she made you kind of forget about the beat; Busta Rhymes has shown this is possible for the past few years.

Even though it was at first a free downloadable (now official) project of songs that wasn't going to make his upcoming "Port Authority 2", it's the last dope producer album that came out recently.
Statik Selektah's last album "Extended Play" is good too but some songs I didn't care for; and Tony Touch's new album "Piece Maker 3" is good but most of the songs were too short and a few beats were just okay, but both albums are still top notch compared to all the wackness out these days.
