You can’t really listen to one or two songs off this. It’s a front to back classic with NO filler. Crazy Forward thinking production all over this. This is how you do experimental rap

Talk about this album

I hated this album on first listen but when I gave it one more try a few months later I fell in love. Ish’s writing style is so tough. It’s poetic af

Frankly, I think they peaked right here on this album. Everything after this hasn’t been nearly as good. Erik blood should f*** off, and ish should involve tendai in the production side more. That reverb drenched s*** they doin now is not it

absolute classic album, staple in experimental hip hop

I find that most experimental rap leans on that noisy sound collage s*** (no diss but it’s not my cup of tea) but this one did something really different. It’s still jazzy and rhythmic. You can hear that digable planets influence all over this

yeaa fs its definitely no clipping. s***

Yeah. Recollections of the Wraith

Butterfly should be spoken among the likes of 2 chainz & juicy j

Shabazz Palaces is my favorite group.

Mine too. Even tho they keep disappointing me I’ll always tap in when they drop. Last album was okay though. That double album was trash

this was a school bus classic for me

You just like me

FACTS
I’m mad he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves

Shoutout lil tracys dad

"Lil Tracy's dad" already had a classic with digable planets in the 90s wtf are you talking about

Nobody implied anything different
Title was meant to invoke more clicks

You know what? Ima have to revoke my statement. I love Shabazz palaces but i was more infatuated with the idea of them before I found out Ishmael Butler was behind the group. I thought it was some young dudes doing some experimental s***.

I also saw them live when they first came out and the show was mad boring.

Ishmel is still amazing tho. Definitely underrated.

I went to a show of theirs and it was decent. Pretty much what I expected. They didn’t do much improv, which I think is the highlight of their shows imo

Ish being this old guy but still doing futuristic s*** makes it more interesting to me lmao but I feel you

Shoutout to @xnthr for having the greatest avi on this site tbh. (even though Blowout Comb is hands down their best work)

Never leaves rotation

Real
I’ve always preferred blowout comb a bit more than reachin

real

Been pretty much obsessed with this band for years. Black Up and Lese Majesty are f***ing classics and nobody's gonna tell me otherwise.

Their best album

I fell like its pretty cool that he was able to come back after a long time and do some different s*** tho
