Can I call the Angel Haze album a sell-out? It's trappy and top-40-pop-rappy with pretty much nothing that her previous work had going for it.
My semi-pseudo-review of Childbirth's It's a Girl was just going to be "fuck white cis feminism" but nah that's too harsh for a set of tunes that actually have a bit of verve and fun - the lyrics aren't as horrible as they could've been, as terrible as they are, and the tunes are mostly nifty. I mean, there are worse 90s genres to make a half-baked nostalgia-market-aimed revival of than riot grrrl, right? Like grunge. Fuck grunge a million times over again and again forever and ever amen.
I'm finding that it's nearly impossible for me to talk about Perez Prado's Pops and Prado because it's just so samey, y'dig? It's lush and danceable and kitschy and classy and ultimately just kind of there and redundant after a while.
K.I.M.'s Miyage is kind of an interesting breed of DJ mix - it's wildly eclectic and playful, incorporating everything from Arthur Lyman to PTV to Asa-Chang and Junray, as well as K.I.M.'s own naivetronic compositions - however, the choice of ending the whole thing with a cover of Morrissey's most Morrissey moment in the history of Morrissey (or at least the Smiths), "Meat is Murder (And Chinese People Are a Sub-Species)"... well, I have to knock of some points for that.
also Open Mike Eagle's Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes just possibly set the record for the shortest time it took for me to turn an album off due to lyrical content, when OME referenced listening to "'97 Weezer" 17 seconds in. :/
