it's better than Marcberg lyrically, but Marcberg was the better album

It came out in late February of 2010 (I think). It didn't really 'hit' me til late March, when spring was kicking up.

Roc's music is best enjoyed in the bitter cold. I'm so looking forward to playing this in the Camry during a blizzard.

a fine album after one listen. Don't think it works as well as the last one does as an album but Roc definitely stepped his rapping up here.

...i dont hear the Q-Tip influence in the production

...he's just going in over beats

Still dope, but Marcberg had amazing, amazing songs on it

i imagine this sounds to me how marcberg sounded to people who didn't like it.

it's like you got 1 song - you just keep making over and over and over and over again.

when i pressed play on marcberg in 2010, something like whatever whatever was fresh to me at that time.
the style of rapping, the cool delivery.
i mean it was already a throwback to stuff that cormega was doing 8-10 years earlier.
but it was all a match. it just worked.
this? i dunno.
nothing here is doing it like that for me.
roc is significantly older now than he was when he recorded the material for marcberg (06/07/08/09).
it's like watching an athlete in the twilight of their career.
theyre doing all the same things they used to do - but theyre just not as effective.
this is very much a going through the motions album.
it's like he's not even matching the beats at this point.
he's just doing his usual thing and whatever the beat is doing is an afterthought.
just no potency to me.
i don't know maybe i'll start listening to shit like "thread count" and "nine spray" and i'll start accepting it, but i don't think so.
this simply just isn't fresh in 2012.
plus he did it better himself in 2010.
just my 2.

you think i'm full of shit? compare the vocal performance on "snow" to "pistolier".
you know what's different? 5 years of youth.

I respect your contributions to this board but honestly I think you're too much of a blowhard to be objective here.

>I respect your contributions to this board but honestly I
>think you're too much of a blowhard to be objective here.

i know i have because the album is exactly what i feared (knew) it would be.

it's too repetitious.
there's absolutely NO "growth" in the rapping.
in fact he's actually regressed in his voice/delivery due to age.
on marcberg he was meeting the energy of the beat to a certain degree.
on this he's rapping the same style on every track and there just happens to be a beat doing something slightly different in the background.
he's fallen off imo, but i guess it's enough LIKE marcberg none of you will be able to tell the difference.
the issues with the album are effectiveness, potency, stagnation and maybe even timing too.
my 2 cents, you have your own.
you can take it however you want to.
i don't expect anyone to validate any of the issues i've raised even when they notice them themselves.
there's no corporation in my corner.

but i wholeheartedly cosign everything you just typed.

is that KA album better?

that's just off first listen though...

it's not wack, but it just feels like...we been here before. and it's not as exciting anymore. i'm about to listen to it again though, maybe it will hit me differently.


and i'm not sure if i like Roc & Ka together. he makes Ka sound comatose in comparison.

i'm not mad at this after all...

It's pretty incredible the difference it sounds quality-wise between speakers and headphones...it's definitely something for cold city bus waiting or shit like that. you need to be able to focus on his wordplay or else it just sounds like rap blues

Reloaded is better lyrically and production wise

That shit is better than Marcerg

so Grief Pedigree gots to be ur AOTY, correct?

in GD a couple of weeks ago, I bought it on iTunes within 5 mins of the post once I heard Roc.

that's how far I've gotten with this album since then, listening non stop.. even got songs in my head.

The Grief Pedigree project is the best thing I've ran across in a VERY long time... By far the most creative album in a good while between the beats, rhymes, audio and video production.

Pretty soon Im gonna make a in post here that's probably gonna piss people off

>so Grief Pedigree gots to be ur AOTY, correct?

right now....
Grief Pedigree >>>> Paid In Full

i'm setting up my lawn chair

If I would go back in time, it reminds me more of Follow The Leader. Dude certainly has a modern day Rakim flow to me

My first impression is that this is not the same album (musically) as the first one. It seems more free form less structured. I need some more time with it to decide if it is working or not.

I know they're all minimal as shit for the most part, but I can't tell the producers apart at ALL. The Tip song sounds like Roc could've produced it. I'm leaning towards putting this observation in the "oh it's a cohesive album" category, but after reading his recent interviews I was expecting something else on the production side.

The rapping is sick. Not much else to say about it. He got better and he was already good.

"Emeralds" and "76" stand out on the production end, but so far nothing on here grabs my attention like "Jungle Fever" did with the lyrics. That was one of the best SONGS I've heard in the last 10 years.

All in all, I like it and I think I'll come to appreciate it even more. I had high expectations though.

> like "Jungle Fever" did
>with the lyrics.

the personification of cocaine as a woman has been done several times before....but that beat is still ridiculous

>
>All in all, I like it and I think I'll come to appreciate it
>even more. I had high expectations though.

Yea, It didnt hit me initially like Marcberg did with that "oh shit" moment...but I'm still enjoying it.

He set the bar extremely high with his debut

dope beats and incredible raps are still there

bar for bar, it's album of the year

WOW

.

-

maybe if I didn't get the KA album so late into the year this would sound better but nothing on here grabbed my attention like Snow or Ridin Around off the last album.

of recent memory

all i'm sayin.

.

Really gonna have to wait until late December to make a top 10 list this year.

Someone else mentioned that we are finally getting past our hair metal phase, lol.


>all i'm sayin.

I was tracking my favorite releases of each year last decade and noticed that 2000 was a really good year and the. It fell off all the way until 2009 in regards to be quantity of quality releases.

2010 and 2011 were good years as well but can only compare to 2000 and 2009 when you add in the mix tapes that dropped like Krit etc.

But really, I think this year has passed 2009 and possibly 2000 and may be more like 1994-1996 in terms or the quantity or quality releases.

I say all of this without hearing every release in each year obviously so I could be wrong.

I loved Marcberg. This is more of the same. More of the beats are immediately apparent as good.

Marcberg was an anachronism, so I don't think I'll be mad about this being one as well.

i LOVE it

-

roc is a damn beast!!...can't wait on the collabo album with him and KA!

-

This is definitely a different record than Marcberg, but the production is still hitting.

Roc still rhyming his ass off though...

again, the bonus tracks make a world of difference

perfect shit.

he zoned in on ay thing that made his style unique on marcberg but amped it the fuck up on some stream of conscious fly gangsta shit.

in some ways this reminds me of supreme clientele. v instictive almost free form rhyming and production.

>in some ways this reminds me of supreme clientele. v
>instictive almost free form rhyming and production.

Kind of Joycean, just not as extreme as 'Preme...

On a thorough listen this album is excellent. It revisits the sparseness of the original but remains fresh and the rhymes have evolved as well. He isn't just sayin' stuff I feel like every rhyme is very deliberate yet it's still flows as if effortless. This album feels like what Mic tyson could have been if it was crafted with more care towards how each song and rhyme effects the others.

that's it though

although Alchemist and Q-Tip did a few this album.

but then i just saw it in the original post... duh

dude has some slow ass infectious beats

.

He's getting pretty boring on the mic to me. I need to hear some energy out of him like the way he used to rhyme when he was in Flipmode.

http://massappeal.com/video-roc-marciano-deeper-trailer/

Goddamn local record store never be having non-local indy rap releases in on time!

this the main reason i stopped by, too.. they pulled the old switcheroo on me and made me cop that new P, weeknd trilogy, and murs x 9th.

That's it. I miss the balance that tracks like "shoutro" and "hide my tears" brought Marcberg. Those reflective tracks. But maybe that's what he wanted--an all out dope-and-only-dope album.

With that said I'll be listening to this shit nonstop.

Between him and Ka, they've been giving us whole LPs with that raw Verbal Intercourse shit.

but it's absolutely no progression from marcberg
after hearing Trophies i remember making a post saying the bar has been raised and marciano had to come better next go round
he didn't.....

76
Tek to A Mack
Not To Be Told

This album really is perfect for this winter Cali rain

I would sequence the album a lil different and cut Thug's Prayer and maybe hmmm lemme think about that a lil more. I moved "We Ill" to the beginning of the L.P. and it's a much cleaner listen IMO

perfect thing to hear when you're on that buttcrack-of-dawn/still dark outside commute

at least Marcberg had Snow, Pop, and Ridin' Around which were all cold.

This is as progressive as this kind of hip hop can sound without being some other genre.

I just wish he put the instrumental for Shoutro on the deluxe edition..might be one of my favorite beats ever

thing is with this one the sh*t is so much more experimental. I literally can't wait for joints like Peru, 20 Guns, or Thread Count.

the breakdown in the beat. Shit sounds so heroic, lol. Also, Pistolier is crazy. Dude has some funny ass lines throughout this album if you listen.

sweet nothings is soooo smooth love that beat by arch

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17301-reloaded/

76 is so meh to me. I think Death Parade (my favorite), Tech to a Mack, Pistolier, We Ill, Emeralds, 20 Guns, Nine Spray and even Thread Count are all better. Just my opinion, doe.

>76 is so meh to me.

probably because Pete Rock used that sample on NY's Finest already.

"You'se a meatball. Get squeezed on. Your physical being turn to cream corn."

"Young Don. Son's under the arm. He treats Lamborghinis like bumper cars"

"Niggas is penniless with skinny ribs. I fire semis at too many wigs. I feel like Billy the Kid, Skinny Big. You literally live as a guinea pig."

like the understated game changer that you didn't expect out of the underground

Dude came off very fake tough-guy and I don't love his voice (first impression)

but his approach to writing and stylistic commitment is to be commended

plus he says some slick shit once you get past the

'whore's clitoris... it tastes like porridge' type throwaways

like George C. Scott", lol.

Maybe it's the drum less tracks, monotone flow, or limited subject matter..
Either way delete...

No drums, monotone delivery, narrow subject matter. This whole album is a one-trick pony. It's very good for what it is, but it isn't striving to be very much at all. I liked his last album but this one puts me to sleep.

definitely one to smoke to

I prefer Marcberg over Reloaded, but this is still that shit...

(just going from the opener to "The Man", haven't heard the bonus tracks yet)

"Marcberg" definitely is a "style", hope he don't run that into the ground.

http://www.theshadowleague.com/articles/roc-marciano-s-reloaded-is-the-most-progressive-hip-hop-album-of-2012

There are some solid joints but as said above Riding Around? Snow? the only thing approaching that level is 76. I'm not even sure if it gets 3 mics. No more than that for sure.

.....

It's like a cheeseburger without a bun.

Roc in fulltime sleepy flow mode and the lack of drums caught me off guard, but after a solid 2 weeks of listening and letting it sink this has elevated to one of my favorites of 2012. Not ready to say if it's better than Marcberg, I've been juggling both back in forth and while they have the same aesthetic they feel like 2 different albums, which is a good thing and prevents Roc from sounding stale.

To me, Reloaded made Marcberg sound dated after a few listens.

how do you think to sample that shit, fam??????


update: i've completely flipped my stance on this album. i love it. there are a couple songs that are skippers, imo, but i really dig it overall. the bonus tracks and the ones he put up on his soundcloud push it over the edge.

Q-Tip did "Thread Count".

I'm with you on the album being a grower. I was disappointed on my first few listens, but now I can't stop playing it.

damn i slept too hard on this shit

it's better when over a bed of drums.

as an album that is definitely not my all-time favorite, but i probably listened to it more than any other record. probably cuz i can put it on, zone out, live life, drive, subconsciously recite the lyrics, nod my head, etc.

but also, when i put it on and get really engaged, it kinda blows my mind. so maybe it is one of my all time favorites!

i don't know. i felt like marcberg is better, but i definitely listened to reloaded 10x more.

Just something about it that makes me watch it over and over.... great winter time track, at least last year. Need to re-listen to reloaded.
