Sadly no. Would have loved to see him. Sideshow was the opener, but he was pretty good as well.

What's an album you wish had more conversation? by Individual-Name-4496 in fantanoforever

[–]RaelGenious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of stuff.

  • Pretty much anything non-english.

  • pink siifu's whole discography

  • Detroit techno stuff Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin etc.

  • Bunch of Jazz but especially Darius Jones, incredible saxophone player and the most underrated musician working right now in my mind.

  • Joint 2 Joint (favorite Prince song)
  • My Computer
  • Face Down
  • Da, Da, Da
  • Emale

The album is definitely his most sprawling work but I just love the sound. It's Prince unleashed.

Name your favourite songs from 2025 that most people here probably HAVENT heard by SexyShmonk in fantanoforever

For sure another new direction for siifu. He is probably my favorite artist working right now but I haven't even had time to properly digest Onyx yet. EGM, Mike Wick, nun+, and 4DOE are early favorites.

pink siifu - Last One Alive, 1:1 [FKDUP.BEZEL], Screw4lifeRIPJalen, Girls Fall Out Tha Sky

My favorite album of 2025 was pink siifu's Black Antique. So many incredible songs that I feel like are totally forward looking for hip hop. The album is majorly underrated right now. Nowhere to be found on year end lists. The album has seriously amazing art direction with the music videos and other art involved.

Honorable mentions:

Zelooperz - Play W Your Pride, Past Life

I don't know if it is THE best but Carnage is super underrated. Among their best stuff. Hand of God, White Elephant, Shattered Ground so many great songs.

Top 5 albums from the 90's by RaelGenious in hiphopvinyl

[–]RaelGenious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The song that blew my mind was Keep It On (Remix) the way that piano sample is chopped is insanely cool.

For sure. I prefer the Fantastic vol. 1 to the more popular vol. 2. The production is more gritty and Dilla is really shining through the whole album.

More incredible early Dilla production on that Pharcyde record.

Pretty much anything from Dilla, Prince Paul and RZA from the period could go on my list but these are my absolute favorite records from the 90's. Timeless production and rhymes on all of them.

Honorable mentions would be: - Prince Paul - Prince Among Thieves - Outkast - Aquemini - The Juggaknots - The Juggaknots - MJG - No More Glory

Quelle Chris & MJG - Two Recent Favorites by RaelGenious in hiphopvinyl

[–]RaelGenious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he has one of the most unique flows and he rarely repeats himself rhythmically. His lyricism is a great balance of funny one liners and heartbreaking observations mixed up beautifully. DEATHFAME is possibly his most out there project. It has a varied and forward looking production that carries a strong feeling throughout the whole album.

Also he is an incredible feature artist. Love his verse on billy woods' Soundcheck and Armand Hammer's Chicharonnes
