everything said about stonefruit was on point song is so insane but elucid sounded great on it

Nah fr! Glad to see others who love Elucid’s singing

Baking soda, Foucault and Joseph Conrad texts in the background

This guy’s a French professor who reviews a lot of good rap records. Has a really interesting academic perspective on a lot of it and gets pretty granular in his discussions.

@DwindlingSun

Same guy who did a very impressive/extensive close reading and review of bob’s son, @Lit

Found that mf

Listening to this in the car rn. Woods is SPITTING

I'm ranking Armand Hammer top 3 rap groups OAT idc anymore

Wowwww unpacks so many deep woods references. Also suggests the pigs as woods and Elucid themselves, connecting to the “You gotta kill the cop in ya head” line on Chicharrones

Do it.

I look insane in public having the penny drop on some of their bars lol

Listening attentively

Lookin forward to hearing your thoughts

Elucid raps like

Pitchfork - 7.8

New podcast appearance out now

F*** pitchfork as a record label and crew

albums amazing

baked up for the first time in like two months, this is slapping rn

a lot of the bars are going right over my head, wish i could enjoy this without reading lyrics

wow without even deep diving into the lyrics yet, this is really GOOD good wow. Like on my fifth listen this already sounds like a future classic to me. Such a cohesive and consistent listen. I admit I didn't get the Stonefruit hype at first, but Elucid's singing is finally gelling with me (I actually liked God's Feet from my first listen tho).

The beat transitions from Falling Sky to Wishing Bad to Chicharonnes are insane, all thoughout the progressions are so satisfying. That's what rly made me realize this is special

@beflygelt @WRU y’all might be interested in the academic angle?

I actually let this entire vid play through yesterday, but I was only half-listening while texting... tbch I didn't take that much away from it, except that dude thinks they're cool

Yeah I mean he doesn’t make any great revelations about the album per se, but he does pick out and explain a lot of woods’ literary references
