2756026, Revisited: Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
Posted by Nick Has a Problem...Seriously, Wed Nov-14-12 10:40 AM
Skipped right over this album in 2004 but found this song on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBw4rQ1SFJM and decided to check it out. Album wasn't bad at all. Not as good as the first but i dug the joints with Del, Casual and Dres a lot. I wasn't on OKP when this was released so what was the talk on this LP?

2756138, that album was a tremendous dissapointment to me, copped it first week

because I love the first installment (it's a 'personal classic' for sure) but the magic was kinda gone.
Whereas the El-P joint was the only skipper on the first album, Casual's 'It's Like That' is the only true banger on the second.
Just feels bigger, more bloated, more rock elements which wouldn't have been bad if they were good but they weren't, less inspired.
This was basically the final nail in the 'Dan The Automator Might Have/Has Fallen Off' coffin before he fell fully into indie-rock irrelevance.

It's a shame too because he seemed to be onto something with his production back in the hayday of these and the deltron shit.
I mean tracks like this are classic to me.

2756390, I actually "re-copped" both of the albums a few weeks ago

because there was a song on one of them that I loved one on of them. I skimmed through both and couldn't find it. I'm gonna have to give them both a real listen. I got into the first one maybe a year after it came out and thought it was cool enough. I don't remember listening to the second one very often. But like I said. I'm gonna revisit.

2756394, Album was whatever... but it has one of my favorite songs ever

"Greatest Mistake" is just really beautiful.

2756721, I still give it a run once or twice a year.

I think above comments are spot-on saying that it's not as organic as the first album, a little more contrived. But I still dig it, even the rock-ier stuff. The really long posse cut track (Hip Hop Part 2) with Lord Finesse and Mike Shinoda and all those others is one of my favorite hip hop songs.
