I feel like I'm missing something. Like....I enjoy it overall but people are freaking out over this and I don't get why really.

[The Notorious LOL]

Not hating though.

To each his own. I think it's great.

But, people are freaking out for Kendrick Lamar and I'm over it.

Shrug.

People freak out about pretty much everything, because they're lame. This is a sick album regardless.

[checkyourprez]

i like it. starts off a little slow for me but gets better as it goes.

Errr.. I'm confused, is this an album or a mixtape? There were many mentions of mixtape on the webpage. But it sounds like its all similar sounding produced by same guy. This may be my lack of knowledge here but I thought mixtapes were about throwing loads of different stuff in.
I am probably being thick.

Anyway, it was all right, he's got a great voice and there were some fine samples, just lacked a bit of bounce for me.

It was supposed to a album but it was made before Bronson signed his deal with Vice Records. And they wanted Bronson's first LP to be a proper label debut. And I believe Alchemist said something to the fact that there were to many samples to get cleared so they called it a "mixtape" and made it a free download for the fans. Pretty much what happened with "Blue Chips" and what will happen with "Saab Stories" the record Bronson made with Harry Fraud.

The terms "album", "mixtape", "LP" and "EP" have pretty much lost their meanings in the last few years thanks to illiterate 17 year old bloggers running the music infosphere...

thats all good news. free stuff, i'm not that thick and there's more coming.

although i'm now thinking about sample clearing, i didnt know it could be got round like that.
Will Alchemist be producing the proper album or do we not know that yet?

In one article Bronson said he recorded 40 tracks with Alchemist and they picked the best of the bunch.

From what I understand he wants to release the 3 records he's already recorded before he gets to his proper label debut.

"Saab Stories" produced by Harry Fraud
"Blue Chips 2" produced by Party Supplies
"Mr. Wonderful" produced by Tommy Mas

He's on the road right now with Cypress Hill and then he's touring Europe again. He drops these records "when it feels right".

If you go to http://www.actionbronson.com/downloads/ you can download Blue Chips and Well-Done and his first mixtape for free.

I saw Cypress Hill at some radio festival in Philly back in '05? The Beasties and The Strokes were headliners.

I liked the first 3 Cypress records but then tuned out during their nu-metal experimental stage.

Anyhoo, they killed it live. Straight up Hip-Hop set. Lots of energy. Bobo on the bongos. It was fun and surprisingly great live set. I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

I saw Bronsolini last night, it was sick. He spent about as much time in the crowd as on stage and he kept telling Tommy Mas to cut the beat mid-song and spitting freestyles acapella. He was spitting right in front of me at one point, I tried to offer him my spliff but he didn't take it. :(

I saw him in Boston a while ago. He killed it. No hype man. Just Tommy on the decks. This was in the "Well-Done" era.

He seems to be doing well on the touring game. Dude likes to entertain.

Side Note: Alchemist on Twitter yesterday dropped some hints....

Listening to Rare Chandeliers 320 kbs extended version with bonus songs. Soon you will too.

You liked Rare Chandeliers. You want to support @ActionBronson and myself by paying for something. You will now have a chance...........

[Lex Diamonds]

No hype man this time either; dude seriously has some of the best breath control I have ever seen. His flow was permanently on point and he projected each word loud and clear on every single bar.

Here (http://distilleryimage0.instagram.com/a797476647f611e2867a22000a9f1266_7.jpg) he is carrying some ass out of the crowd. Peep me with the pint, top right corner.

[Micodin]

Awesome pic!

There's video of him performing in DC with a disabled kid on his back. Then sat him down and kept going while throwing weed in the crowd.

Dude is a animal. He fluffed a few lines when I saw him, but when you have no hype man, just the instrumental playing, and the thousands of words he spits... I give him no clout.

Glad you got to see him.

Hopefully he will come to my city. If it (or ever) happens hopefully my friend and I can open for him. Peeps in our Hip-Hop community know we've been talking about dude since Bon Appetit. We opened for Dark Time Sunshine a few months ago and one of the conversation starters when we met them during soundcheck was... So, you listen to Bronson?

[abbott]

I like it alot

The audio

The video

I mean, Shit is good

[Lex Diamonds]

He's a born entertainer and seems like a genuinely good dude... he started a conga line through the crowd at one point and the vibes were nice, he then walked up to the bar (while spitting) and threw some money down to cover everyone's drinks who was waiting to get served. He then took a dude in a wheelchair up on stage and smoked with him and let him on the mic a little.

What a guy. If I didn't love him already, I do now.

[checkyourprez]

i saw him like a year ago. right when shiraz was his big shit. dude is def one of the top rappers in the game right now though.

[Lex Diamonds]

Just copped the limited edition Diamond Supply Co x Rare Chandeliers tee... wanted the hoody but they sold out in seconds. Shit looks fresh.
