The Official Blood Orange Thread

Despot is fucking awesome.



Album is great. I've liked most of Dev's stuff as Blood Orange but I think he finally got to where he was trying to get with his sound on this album.

Who is the English rapper on High Street? That isnt one of the SAS dudes is it?

Holy shit @ Despot being some goofy looking white dude.

Dude puts on a great live show too. I saw him when he was out here with El-P and Killer Mike. His set was equal parts rapping and comedy act but he's actually funny too unlike a lot of rappers who think they are.

Guy really needs to release an actual album. Even an EP, something.

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

I want to like El-P....but i just dont. Grrr.

 

[Nuttkase]

I'm pretty indifferent to El's music for the most part, like some songs, don't others. I'm a bigger fan of his production than rapping but as a whole dude puts on a great live show and his sound really carries over well in a live setting.

 

[Nuttkase]

Like I don't even have an album by him that I've downloaded (aside for Run the Jewels stuff with Mike which is great) yet I'd go see him again live.

Pretty sure that was Dev himself.

@S.SAVAGE if this jam doesn't make you want to snort some lines I don't know what does.

clams produced on no right thing, what the fuck? im guessing dev got drums from him or something cuz clams is honestly not that good with non-ambient stuff lol

 

[B-Buzz]

those are some dope ass drums tho

The song itself was recorded live in a one take that lasted about 15 minutes I ad-libbed the vocals recalling lyrics from songs of mine and a song by Adam Bainbridge (which he was unaware i was going to do). Adam was on the drum machine, Blue May on guitar, Sam Beste on piano, & Tawiah on backing vocals. I then took some of my vocals from towards the end and overlaid it as a backing vocal.”

Dev said there's no plans to tour the album :'<

 

[0R0]

yup im holding out hope he does a one off show in SF within the months tho

 

[0R0]

so this is the british rapper on high street

 

[Nuttkase]

Really want this on vinyl but all the online stores are charging outrageous prices like $22 for a LP before s/h. Might have to hit up Silver Platters and see if they got it.

 

[0R0]

its 20 on best buy, that doesnt seem too expensive for a 2x LP imo

 

[Nuttkase]

Is it 2x LP for sure? Didn't even think to check there but all the places that usually carry vinyl online just had it listed as an LP and nothing more.

If so I might have to hop on that when I get home with some of my reward certificates.

 

[0R0]

its listed as a double on the record label's site, maybe they're listing as one cuz its not in a gatefold? idk
