Somehow I actually started thinking the dude had some interesting points, after reading 10 pages:
I’m 42 years old (Yeah, I’m a grown as man!), married and have 4 kids and reasonable well payed job. Hip-hop got my attention when I was 14, when I first heard N.W.A. (Back then I was into punk music and spent a lot of time in squated houses) and I seriously started loving hip-hop when I heard The 36 Chambers for the first time, at age 16, and then I started to collect hip-hop records.
Over a decade I build a huge collection of hip-hop records (When my friends wanted me to go to McDonalds, I would calcute how many records I could buy and then refuse!), but over the years I got more and more interested in where all the samples came from and I first started digging into funk from the 70’s, then jazz from the 60’s and for the last almost ten years I’ve been colllecting Brazilian records from the early 70’s (Please don’t fall down that rabbit hole. It’s very expensive).
I was very disillusional about hip-hop in the late 00 and thought “Hey, you don’t enjoy hip-hop anymore and that’s the way it should be! Hip-hop’s a young-cat game and if you still enjoy hip-hop, there’s either something wrong with you or hip-hop”...
And then Daupe came! I was on it immediatly and I bought Dollar Menu and, long story short, fell into the Mach-Hommy rabbit hole.
And now back to our infamous dudes points:
I’m a white dude, born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the majority of the population is considered middle class and a small part considered poor or rich, which is the same for most part of northern Europe (Except maybe the U.K.),
I can understand when someone, who actually comes from the same social background as Mach, thinks he is targeting a privileged white audience, who is enjoying hip-hop as a kind of “ghetto safari”” for white kids. And to be honest, then for me personally, there’s some truth to that. For example I truly love Geto Boys, almost cartonish, descriptions of violence in a ghetto, though it’s very very far from what I’ve ever experinced.
PS.
Sorry for my long post (and mispellings) but I thought I had to put my points into a personal context, to make it meaningful.
Do you buy stuff on Bandcamp?
Can you speak French?
I got a rip of the Asiatique
Plz let me get this and the rest of the bonus vinyl if you got that too, would be forever grateful
EDIT : NVM found it on soulseek
dumpyod.com not working for anyone else? he says the pre-orders are up.
nvm redirects to yourolddroog.com
I will be cool with Droog again if this album is as good as Jewelry or It wasnt even close. Just never trusting him again
I usually dgaf about stuff like this but the rollout for this album has been beautiful. Reeeeally excited for this now
kinda wanna cop the deluxe i have a feeling this project is gonna be nice
if someone can confirm if mach is on the bonus track its copped
do you think mach underperforms when he is a feature ?
his own work has his best verses.
My fav feat from him is sell me this pen. then its not even close

I definitely feel like he kinda holds back a little bit. Especially on a track like Pravda I feel like he wants to let Droog shine.
