WHAT UP PITCHFORK WE’RE GLAD YOU LIKED OUR REVIEW
Himanshu in tha cut , thats a scary sight !! 🙌💯💪
Yo this album is great. I agree with all of you guys in some way or another. L-Spade has a point when he says Heems rhyme scheme is is kind of simplistic and it gets repetitive to a certain degree but with the subject matter i feel like it spices thing up a bit with the overall sound. Heems cracks me up man with some of these lines too man, always has even with the Das Racist stuff. The production on here keeps me coming back, I've been playing this a bunch since it came out and I love the samples Lapgan chose, definitely gonna be on the lookout for more of his stuff. also looking forward to another project Heems has coming in May that has a whole bunch of different sounds on it.

Far be it from me to say this as a forty-two year old whiteboy hip hop head from New Zealand (hardly a hip hop epicentre, yet we do our thing), but I think Spade's comment was actually quite perspicacious. This album does give back to the culture inasmuch as it saliently layers Indian musical motifs into a hip hop methodology - and with a phatness that can't be ignored.
I make beats myself, and coming from little old New Zealand - a small and relatively sedate island nation in the south Pacific the rest of the world pays scant attention to - we are granted with a decidedly peripheral perspective on massive global cultural phenomena that have their central forges in smitheries we can barely smell the smoke from. This, I think, gives us a less prejudiced perspective on how or what hip hop should be. This is all to say, fucking yeah man, this album is dope as fuck. Heems is on point, witty and snide and silly and cutting as ever, and Lapgan laces the musical bedrock with so much flavour you'd swear they were working that masala up from the get go. Easily a top five hip hop album of the year contender for sure. Early days, I get it, but it definitely has that feel about it.
As an aside, there is an album that has dropped this year I was kind of hoping you guys would've talked about, but it has either slipped by you, or you've otherwise decided not to cover it. The album in question is called 'Golden Age of Self Snitching' by an outfit who call themselves Revival Season. Anyone reading this, if you haven't checked it, do so immediately, it is incredibly good. This album is fresher than a fallen coconut, and twice as hard.
Peace.
Yo thank you very much for your your thoughtful, meticulous and thorough insight.
I'm in strong agreement with you regarding that particular Spade position.
The easiest thing to say is that it's dope rap music. The way this is situated in art, culture, and the material world is a whole different animal. It's really something special. Not exactly something new under the sun, but a color or scenery or space that exudes a beauty, significance, or experience that should imprint on you.
Thanks again for the thoughtful comment. Hoping to see you more in the comments or the discord.

@@secretHOUSEagainst Yeah man - I totally agree with you that the way a project like this is situated in the cultural and material world is of no small significance. One of the obvious significances is that it offers another vital marginalised ethnic and cultural perspective that at the very least ought to contribute to our articulation of human understanding in all of its diverse peculiarity. And one of the excellent things about Heems is that he manages to furnish his perspective with a healthy dose of humour and satirical irony i.e. these are, generally speaking, effective rhetorical means for helping the medicine go down. I'm also inclined to agree with Jet's remarks to the effect that of Heems' projects to date, this is his most measured in terms of blending the high with the low, the comic with the serious, etc. Lying beneath this album's vibrant, hilarious and energetic surface is the sincere work of the fool pointing the hypocrisies, contradictions and absurdities of the prevailing order. That is to say this album is very serious fun.
Long Live

I'm surprised he didn't promote this album harder. I feel like it's a super lowkey drop and his uploads on TH-cam all have restricted comments, just bad moves all around.
But the art itself is incredible. It's real and it's New York as fuck.
My favorite bar:
Eating Pasta, a little Kielbasa, with a Dominican girl named Yocasta.
Shit like that is just so utterly New York, specifically Queens, that those that aren't from there don't understand it.
You literally find yourself indulging in so many cultures from around the world, whether it's the food or the women, haha.
As a big Queens hip hop fan I put this album up there with Kool G or Mobb Deep. It's not as serious, sure. But New York isn't as serious as it used to be. It's a great representation of New York today.
To the gentleman saying the rhymes are middle of the road... I feel like that's fine.
The fact is Heems isn't trying to be an overly ambitious rapper on this album is perfect. If he was trying super hard to make some lyrical miracle out of this album it wouldn't of been listenable.
He had a perfect pocket that fit him nicely and brought a great theme throughout the whole album. That's all an MC has to do, I don't need you to be showing off your skills that you don't have.
Im at tha pizza hut .. im at tha taco bell .. tha combination made my eyes bleed
this album was actually really good, def gonna listen to more heems after this, that track w lee scott is crazyy
