The Beginning of Post-Rap - By The Time I Get To Phoenix Review - A Bucket of Jake

[@DizzleDeezle]

This is one of those albums where you just feel like today is the last day of humanity and you spend that last day making beats with your friends.

[@fransrosengarten7321]

Da art of story tellin’ part 2…

[@str1ve305]

I love how the rise of rap sub-genres are closely mirroring the exact rise of rock sub-genres. I feel we truly have reached the point past alternative hip-hop, just starting into post hip-hop.

[@ABucketofJake]

Beautifully said

[@lovesillygoose]

cant wait for the time where just as rock turned into metal, all rap groups will transition into death grips

[@otterdonnelly9959]

Can’t be post hip-hop because it’s still in the culture. Sure, it can be post rap though.

[@zeenithh]

@@lovesillygoose frrr

[@axelmartinez3540]

u kinda almost have that happening now with artists like carti in the mainstream but id say it’s still more leaning toward that punk aesthetic than full on metal

[@johnbricker8435]

The Money Store, Atrocity Exhibition, Some Rap Songs and this. This is a new classic in experimental rap, and honestly experimental music in general, that will stand as a sea change moment for outsider art looking back. RIP GROGGS.

[@evanwells3952]

I listen to Footwork In A Forest Fire probably 30 times a day. That song is a trip

[@Sam-eo2ky]

Groggs on this song is fucking ridiculous…epitome of what he means when he’s like let’s make some weird shit

[@isolationsquire]

One of my favorite songs, it's so underrated

[@Djshadouw]

bro is your brain ok?

[@terrinhicks-jacobs9630]

this album is a tough pill to swallow

[@mrmrfahrenheit9127]

Cuz I'm not getting taller

[@Jargalhurts]

I don't get why people seem to be so indifferent to Footwork In a Forest Fire. It sounds so much like Ritchie and Groggs are rapping over a deathdream album they downloaded off of the deep web. The beat definitely has the same incredibly cold and exposed vibe that Aboji's Reflection has.

[@James-ud3ns]

Knees is one of my favorite songs this year. I also find the dense and suffocating atmosphere of the album so intruiging. I'm definitely going to be returning to this album for a while.

[@megatron4466]

This album is haunted bro, not "Haunting", HAUNTED

[@AtomicOpenHouse]

There was no "Too experimental" on this for me. Everything worked. Easiest ten out of ten I've ever given

[@alex11v3]

I dont care, 10/10 devastating album, feels like I was in pure grief. Footwork in a forest fire sound like a aphex twin death grips mashup. JUST GENIUS.

[@astro_ap]

I just got around to listening to this album and on my first listen, I didn’t understand it at all, it was way outside my comfort zone and I couldn’t understand why anyone would ever listen to it, but then weeks went by and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I gave in and re-listened, and… it clicked hard. It made me feel feelings I didn’t even know I could possibly feel, and it’s one of the most devastating, tragic, and challenging albums I’ve ever heard, but I feel like I came out the other side stronger and gained something from listening to it. The insane experimentation is part of why it’s so good - no album with traditional instrumentals and sound palettes could make anyone feel like this album makes me feel. It’s not the type of album you listen to super often because it’s just that emotionally potent, but I respect it a hell of a lot and think it’s a major feat in hip hop history. RIP Groggs.

[@BananaPoodle2]

Putting aside all the countless things I have to say about this album, I think judging this album based on its "cohesion" is a little antithetical to what the album is going for. Death is a complicated thing, and dealing with grief is not a 'point A to point B' journey. It's often confusing and disorienting, and I think in that regard this album undoubtedly succeeds with what it's doing all the way through.

[@dr.hiramishimoto7243]

7:31 when the album came out and I had heard this come on, it just broke me.

[@aaronmcmillan4897]

Now i'm ready to see the term 'post-rap' blow up

[@ECXLEvan]

Wow the instrumental came on for Top Picks For You while you were talking about it and just that made me slightly tear up. This is just an incredible album

[@MK.DANABNORMAL]

Why is there a post of every genre where’s the pre-rap or pre-rock

[@bobroctopus2210]

pre-rap is just jazz, pre-rock is blues

[@genericonion6255]

@@bobroctopus2210 I agree with this though you can argue rock n roll is pre-rock, I personally find rock n roll and rock to be completely different so

also, Superman That is sampling the outro of Athens, France (Single Version) by Black Country, New Road

[@Xxbte96xX]

I was completely taken aback by this album. I really enjoyed their self titled album a lot, but I never expected this after that. I knew this was something special after the first listen and I've been hooked ever since. I'd say my favorite tracks are definitely Outside, Superman That, Top Picks for you, and Knees, with Knees being my absolute favorite.

[@genericperson8354]

From my knowledge, Zelooperz also sang many of the backing vocals on SS San Francisco, making his feature all the more impressive. Upon first hearing the "It won't last," I was thoroughly convinced Parker had just used a sample.

"eight dollar bill exist" is the worst thing said in 2021

[@willjones8801]

This fucking album is unlike any i've ever heard it genuinely may be my favourite album ever

[@123abcDamion]

Finally someone us calling new rap post-rap. I thought it was just me😂😂😂

[@twite5462]

Knees is like a bad acid trip/ anxiety attack

[@peepnox7747]

Hello comment section, I have a question. What is your favorite artist or band???

[@cluckdimple3017]

kgatlw all the way

[@kaneguzman2211]

Death Grips

[@MK.DANABNORMAL]

My favourite changes like every week, right now it’s Kanye west

[@lebronjames635]

Kanye

[@DannyPluto.]

Hi-C, Cartier God, Stevie dinner, puzzle & enjoy

[@thephil3027]

idk if that makes sense but it reminds me of modern post-punk in some songs (SS San Francisco, Bye Storm)

[@khreeess9321]

Came back from listening to the album. When I finished i asked my self “what now?” I’m very content with the ending bye storm.

[@TheCicada]

Damn, it's really pouring

[@seiwashere]

YO YOUR XBOX 360 VID ABOUT THE RED RING OF DEATH HELPED ME LOL

Glad I can be of service

Never thought I'd hear "bong hit transplant" in a random video essay about a rap album 😂

[@Tsutsu5]

Jake you are so fucking handsome, like man got me acting up.

[@kiiltomaeki]

album of the year no doubt

[@dez-m]

To be fair, along with Injury Reserve's previous work, abstract rap albums such as Some Rap Songs, A Quite Farewell 2016-2018 (Crater Speak), Let The Sun Talk, and Disco! had done a lot to push this genres evolution up to this point. Great video though!

[@thoonalia]

Top 5 album of all time, cannot change my mind

[@ChinchilaTheTurboTranslator]

GODLY youtube algorithm pull

[@Samkonia4728]

I've only ever given 9 albums perfect 10s, and this is one of them. Coincident how Little Simz also dropped another one the same year

[@ThUnDa328]

I will make sure that when I’m dying the doctors put in some headphones in my ears and play this album. Rip Groggs

[@agustmi04]

Definitely check Body Meat, necessarily similar to BTTIGTP, but that dude is doing out-boundary hip hop based music and also includes some choreography.

[@blindertherabbit]

willie smith with the inspector gadget 😳😳😳

[@DannyPluto.]

I will be the judge of that

[@danielthehuman107]

I had a genuine moment of sadness realizing I understood the "bong hit transplant" reference. Nobody should get that reference.

[@nicholasfoster5682]

you should definitely check out oblivion access by lil ugly mane or his side project bedwetter

[@helianthusphoton1178]

i'll probably get lost on my way, i'll call you then

Ok cool thanks

[@WallaceAyers]

"Jake talks about an album he loves" Isn't that this entire channel?

[@thefunnytvmanofthenight1537]

I feel like this is more comparable to Clipping than Death Grips

This aint glen campbell

[@5ifthaveblackat]

What the hell is post-rap idk why people make up random genres but good video tho

[@kennys436]

I agree, kinda ridiculous when we have Abstract (mainly for lyricism) and Experimental (sound-wise) Hip Hop/Rap. Theres no confusion and it ain't hard to tell
