This is more jazz than their other albums but it's still mainly a hip hop album.

probably bait but you're an idiot. go listen to it again

>probably bait but you're an idiot
Wow, quite a high-level discussion in here I see...

>make retarded claim
>get called out for being said retard
>bitches about high-level discussion

I mean it isn't like you're helping

>calling another post bait
>says BBNG is one of the best jazz albums of this generation
supreme reverse trolling m8

Weak bait. 2/10. Shouldve posted Kamasi.

He's right. There's no way that you would play that for someone and call it hip hop. Influenced by it and mixes it with jazz? 100%. I really enjoyed how they gave a slight library music touch to it. Their other stuff never did it for me much but this was one of the most enjoyable releases I've heard this year.

...

nice meme OP. IV was medicore. BBNG2 is their best work and if you disagree you're a plebian.

2 > 4 > 1 > 3

le burn

...

really?
2>1>3>4 imho.

memes aside tho, i dont think IV was all too bad. I just couldn't get into all of the electronic tracks on the album. They tried to experiment with lots of different genres which is fine. Personally however I just didnt enjoy it as much.

>modern jazz
>good
pick one
pic related is great tho

I advise giving it another listen, it wasn't until my second did the album start to flow for me

Honestly I could see it jumping 2 for me pretty soon

you're telling me that IV is better than UMW, Vices, CYMK, Basterd/Lemonade, and the flashing lights solo?!?!

I guess I'll have to just give the album another listen then.

...

I'm just pointing out the obvious lol

I prefer this one, a little disappointed where their music went after this one

Any recs for modern jazz albums that aren't trash memejazz (like the Epic or BBNG) and also aren't jtg-core?

not sure if this counts

and what makes Epic and BBNG "memejazz" in your opinion?

why make this thread if no one can beat the OP

also check Mammal Hands for a similar British band

>jtg-core
can we stop this meme?

>highly rated by fantano and p4k
>popular on RYM
>image-centric packaging to appeal to underage hip hop fans who have only heard 3 jazz albums in their life

literally the definition of memejazz m8

eh, it might be popular or memejazz but its still good

I'd definitely argue for BBNG being one of the better jazz bands around

Can I ask what the last 5 jazz albums (recorded after 2010) you listened to were?

when did they add another member? I am not too well versed in bbng but I thought they were three? am I wrong?

Saturn Songs
Serendipty
Ten Freedom Summers
I Am Here, Where Are You
Pretty much everything BBNG obviously

>implying that because lots of people like a band they suddenly become shit memejazz
>implying that popular music is always bad

literally kys literally.

Try listening to some jazz that isn't bad. I recommend

Matthew Shipp
Ibrahim Maalouf
William Parker
Tony Malaby
Craig Taborn

Well I didn't imply the first thing, I came right out and stated it because it's true
But I didn't imply the second thing at all

try again

I actually already like Parker, I'll give the rest of those a try thanks user

...

but that's trip/hip-hop with jazz influences

This thread is full of shit

nop

"no"

How does something being popular make it bad? The music is made first and then people listen to it. How does the number of people listening change the music?

this af.
god i love this album, easily the most interesting jazz album i've ever heard

because I'm contrarian and if a lot of people like it, it can't be better than average

So were you just baiting or do you not care that you're limiting yourself and contributing to the limiting of others? Or do you care but still do it anywAys nurturing self hatred?

This

Jesus dude check your reading comprehension

>Try listening to some jazz that isn't bad.
i'm not the guy you replied to, but i honestly wouldnt take you seriously only because you're so far up your own ass.
also the Epic is an amazing album, it being a meme does not undermine Kamasi's achievement

What makes it amazing? Honestly I thought it was pretty below average compared to most of the other jazz I heard last year?

The only outstanding thing about it was its length which turns out to be a negative thing given the general quality of the music.

meme jazz

our generation have no good jazz albums nor artists in general

this is the only good jazz album that came in a decade

*thread explodes instantaneously*

what's it like to be a literal fucking retard, i've always wanted to know

I really want to know of a better Jazz record that was made last year.

>I'm contrarian and if a lot of people like it, it cant be better than average

literally, literally, kys literally.

Anyone here a fan of Greg Foat Group? I think they do some pretty cool stuff

for being more jazzy, the jazz parts are shit.
the two hip-hop tracks are really good, however

The best.
