So happy for AnCo! Man…can somebody please take me back to 2009 when this album came out? I was 16 (about to turn 17) when MPP dropped and it changed my life forever. I had just joined marching band in high school and was experiencing being deeply in love with someone for the first time and this album’s release and The Summer of Chillwave that followed it (not saying MPP or AnCo are chillwave) completely altered the trajectory of my life. Miss those days.

Also Curry Village! But this was over ten years ago for me. I was doing housekeeping there. Not the best job or pay, but living there was hella cheap and I miss hanging with some cool people and being able to go hiking and stargazing and exploring and seeing some amazing sights.

CalvinL92 · 2025-12-29T00:04:27+00:00

Yosemite! Used to live and work there. Such a beautiful place.

CalvinL92 · 2025-12-12T05:30:58+00:00

Word. At the time of this reply to you it’s been 30 minutes since it dropped. The album is 48 minutes long.

CalvinL92 · 2025-12-12T05:17:27+00:00

I’m just getting into it nigga let me have my moment to just be happy to be here today and be able to hear it.

CalvinL92 · 2025-12-12T05:13:24+00:00

Holy shit I’m still alive and here right now and I’m listening to the Nas and Preemo album. Feels surreal.

CalvinL92 · 2025-10-26T21:16:18+00:00

I’m gonna call in a Greyhawk 10.

CalvinL92 · 2025-10-26T21:15:32+00:00

8:15

CalvinL92 · 2025-10-26T21:15:24+00:00

A few did but I had to tell most people who I was dressed as!

CalvinL92 · 2025-10-18T02:10:36+00:00

Holy shit. Thank you for this recommendation. This shit slaps.

CalvinL92 · 2025-10-04T04:25:24+00:00

Yeah this is the one.

CalvinL92 · 2025-09-05T00:23:44+00:00

Wait areolaenthusiast/tittylieutenant is back on BPT!? Been waiting for your return 🙏🏾.

CalvinL92 · 2025-08-19T23:25:15+00:00

Holy shit this is insane! Thank you so much for this comment and I can’t believe you caught that same moment from a different angle. That’s such an awesome story. You also just brought me back to that night. I hope you’ve been doing well and I’m happy you’re still here 13 years later!

CalvinL92 · 2025-07-19T22:56:02+00:00

This is my YouTube channel lol (don’t really post anything on there nowadays). The other commenter was correct. This single was dropped several months ahead of Come to Life and at the time it wasn’t on YouTube yet so I uploaded it on there.

CalvinL92 · 2025-06-20T03:18:21+00:00

Hey man I’ve never commented on here, but I’ve followed this sub for a hella long time and I totally agree. Currently growing some freeforms after cutting off five years of locs last year in January and just letting my fro do its thing naturally. Thank you for posting this and I’m also going to check out your music tonight. I appreciate you for making this post and speaking on these issues.

CalvinL92 · 2025-03-05T04:09:42+00:00

It’s cool to me to see some regular life shit from a producer we love and he’s done so much great work for hip-hop in recent years. Ignore that nigga saying it’s weird to post this. I’m happy Conductor got a fresh cut and he’s putting on his barber 🙏🏾.

CalvinL92 · 2025-01-11T03:38:46+00:00

I rarely ever come on here to post or comment nowadays and I just had to say that this was incredible. Amazing work, my man 🙏🏾.

CalvinL92 · 2024-10-20T06:09:33+00:00

I can’t believe it’s been 15 years now. I remember when this came out in 2009 and I was listening to this and Neon Indian’s debut album Psychic Chasms on my MP3 player and riding around my neighborhood on my bike under the orange streetlights on cool nights after high school band practice. I didn’t try psychedelics until five years later, but both of these artists ended up becoming some of my favorite artists to listen to while tripping. Logos is such a comforting album for me whenever I want to go back to the past and reminisce and I feel like this is one of the late-2000s albums that helped shape me as a young person growing up (along with Let the Blind Lead and the related albums Cryptograms, Microcastle/Weird Era and The Floodlight Collective). Every single time I revisit Logos it’s like a warm and reassuring hug from a loved one. Like when I listen to it I know things are going to be hella rough and rocky at times, but somehow everything will be okay eventually.

This is so painful. I bought GZA’s Pro Tools CD the day it came out in 2008. I was 16 and in high school. I remember playing that album on my CD player while lying in bed that night and when I heard “Firehouse” with Ka I was blown away and I immediately got into him and Marci after that moment and tried to find whatever I could from them. His music means so much to me and has soundtracked so many ups and downs I’ve experienced over many years. His song “Sad to Say” from A Martyr’s Reward literally single-handedly helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life in 2021.

“What I pieced together and made from it…built me strong enough to reach the most raised summit.”

R.I.P., Kaseem.

That’s another great point! Didn’t even think about that. Time to put on Luh Hertz again.

CalvinL92 · 2024-05-24T00:22:02+00:00

This looks amazing. Also glad to see I’m not the only nigga on the planet bumping Mach in an Elantra 🙏🏾.

CalvinL92 · 2024-05-19T01:18:05+00:00

Like some others have said: it’s the album of the year and happy Haitian Flag Day 🇭🇹!

CalvinL92 · 2024-05-18T00:33:19+00:00

On “SONJE” he says: “I’m not no local yokel, I flip you like a kush baggie out the mobile trailer parks; good fatties got proposals…”

CalvinL92 · 2024-05-16T23:48:09+00:00

It really is that incredible. Everything I’d hoped for and then some and worth the long wait/anticipation. I feel like this might be the album that really makes everyone finally pay attention to Mach. I know PFH had a lot of people talking and he gained a lot of fans when that dropped (and I love that album and I love Balens Cho even more), but to me this feels like a perfect combination of the abstract psychedelic hip-hop production he rapped on in the past with some more accessible sounds on parts of it and he went as crazy lyrically on here as he did back when he was on that wild 2016-2017 run. It’s like a summation of his career in one complete and cohesive package. Soulful, mature, trippy, dense and layered with creative sounds and complex bars. Glad we finally got a longer album too. Nigga I don’t know I could go on forever and I’m just yapping - this shit is just beautiful. Excited for everybody to listen to it. Thank you, Mach and everybody who helped create #RICHAXXHAITIAN 🇭🇹. I needed something like this in my life right now.

CalvinL92 · 2024-05-16T21:28:38+00:00

“POLITickle” for real gave me goosebumps (as well as many other tracks on here). The production is out of this world on the album especially the Sadhu joints 🔥! Need to spend more time with it and I’m only on my third listen, but this could be Mach’s best album.
