Album de la semaine: Black Milk - Tronic (L'album de l'année à date selon Diction, ce n'est pas peu dire...)

Diction's review: @@@@

Oh Wee!!!

Now this is an album that lives up to expectations. Black Milk for president! Just last year he was "the new Detroit producer" to most but with Popular Demand being one of the highlights of 2007 he made a name for himself and he's been constantly dropping projects non-stop since, from Caltroit to producing whole albums for Fat Ray and Elzhi. He's often criticized for being a Dilla clone but he's just building off his sound like about half of the producers in the hip hop industry. Anyway being Dilla influenced is a good thing in my book, cause these producers are more eager to innovate than just trying to recreate some '94 DJ Premier style beats. The main difference in production style between Tronic and Popular Demand is that he's messing more with synths this time around, kinda like Dilla was doing on some of the tracks on "Welcome to Detroit". The production on the album is absolutely ridiculous, the beats are very hard and full of details, the whole album is just bangin' to the fullest. Black Milk caught a lot of flak for his rapping on the previous album, but I thought he was dope and was definitely feeling his style. Producer rappers always get over-criticized when it comes to their rapping, they'll never catch a break with the usual "stick to making beats". However, Black Milk really stepped up his rapping for this album, he's really mastering his flow now and he just spits some ill shit. He ain't about no complex storytelling or anything overly conscious, it's just some raw lines one after the after. I wasn't expecting Black Milk to drop one of my favorite LYRICAL performances of the year, but the cat just has many surprises in his bag. This album is thoroughly excellent, definitely one of my favorites of 2008 and one that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any hip hop fan. Make sure to play that shit loud as fuck so it can destroy your eardrums. BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK BLACK MILK.
