Love what you’re mostly talking about. You lost me on 1080P tho. Thats def one of the standouts on this project.

[@fractalwavy4784]

You feel me

[@loganhubbard1950]

Hell yes to another hour of Mach commentary!

[@alden4091]

Mach's true magnum opus to me will always be the G.A.T., if that ever makes it onto streaming I can not wait to see your review

[@LittleBigKilla]

Facts

[@wyler6909]

I just discovered G.A.T. in the past few months after running P4H and HBO pretty much every day, and I'm blown away. It's not as accessible but the jazzy production and the abstract rhyme schemes are just so incredible. Creeping up my top mach albums

[@yOGlo]

If yall like hip hop check out BOOMANSANTO! n ASJP

[@levineal4638]

Dude your find of the twilight zone sample is amazing how much of the beat than in it is crazy. Always love sample sources. Great find.

Glad you're okay! I ended up getting covid but it was spectacularly mild.

[@levicohen7333]

I really didn’t realize I could love this album more than I already did but you fucking did it!

[@blindchemist]

I love your output on Mach, we are very lucky to share this with everyone currently. I am so lucky to be alive right now!!

[@levicohen7333]

1080p one of my favorite mach songs ever!

[@eliparzyck]

Crazy how Mach fan’s opinion deviate from each other so much. Not the biggest fan of 1080p but I love the beat.

[@Ehgg-]

Fanon used to be Mach’s main producer, him & Mach work best together but they haven’t made any music together in over 3 years, he produced Bulletproof Luh, Luh Hertz& The GAT

Bey Six gotta be my favorite track, that hook is just so dope

[@wiz_dropbomb2134]

Perfect song

[@yOGlo]

I hate that track no lie.. my fav is trezeta air max

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Beautifully done... Been waiting for this review ever since I found your channel! 🙏 _"You gully? We gully, too!"_ is one of my favorite lines also. "Gully" means from the gutter/the streets, hard. _H.B.O._ is up there with _P4H_ & _Balens Cho_ for me. _Tuez-Les Tous,_ with DJ Muggs, is another favorite. Good on you for prioritizing band practice! _"I bet they find you face-down in the mainstream, floating..."_ is a call-back to the hook of Outkast's "ATLiens" track, "Mainstream".

[@BigDuace]

Great Christmas Present to Yourself Professor !! Also Great Review as always . I actually considered Fete Des Morts AKA Dia De Las Muertos produced by Earl Sweatshirt ,or Wap Konn Joj! as a excellent prelude to Pray For Haiti . He wasn't presenting himself a mainstream artist back then, he was crafting his sound in a refined and tailored way.. It was still gritty but also this elaborate style to it.

[@trevor1550]

Glad to see you’re exploring his back catalouge! This one’s a classic.

[@danieltibma379]

HBO grows on you A LOT over the months. The abstract beats and space all over the album sounds better and better over time. It’s been about a year since i first listened and I love it wayyyy more but that goes for almost all of Mach’s music. I think HBO has something that PFH doesn’t have. Also the highs on HBO aren’t touched by PFH, including Thank God, Snow Beach, and 1080p

[@ugonwigwe5136]

bey six is so disgustingly good and one of my favorite songs ever

[@danieltibma379]

@@ugonwigwe5136 Fr should’ve mentioned that too the majority of HBO is peak music which Mach has rarely touched since

Trezeta air max is my fav track off it

[@midwestlivin7029]

HBO grows on you more and more over time. As much as I love Bulletproof Luh, Wap Konn Joj, and others. HBO is just priceless and it’s not easy to fully appreciate it in one or even ten complete listens. Appreciate the review. Keep Mach reviews coming. I appreciate the translations and discussion of obscure references.

[@xamdamCO]

Yeah, I'm going to be that guy you mentioned. August Fanon has produced no less than 10 projects in the past couple years. 😂 Would love to hear a review on his 2021 collaboration with Defcee: We Dressed The City With Our Names.

[@eliparzyck]

Showing that plenty sample made my day. What an awesome flip.

[@matt23012301]

Only other Zappa sample I can think of is the Mothers' "Sleeping in a Jar" sampled on Madvillain's "Meat Grinder"

[@GOAT-HRDRZ]

"Flip you like"

[@casey_crowe]

can’t believe you found that sample 🤯

[@subzero296]

This album is on another level compared to anything in his catalogue, in my honest opinion. When I first heard HBO, my mind was blown. Thank you for the proper review Professor. Mach-Hommy is an icon, end quote.

[@mutheemuriukiwahome872]

2 years ago he got his Python Trench coat

[@FreeAgentsEnt13]

Great video and excellent review Professor.

[@amitaisno]

i recommend the project “eastern medicine, western illness” it’s a great project about hong kong and features mach hommy twice

[@Oratile-nl9eo]

That project is just chef's kiss.

[@WilliNorthside]

Tsss 1080p and Thank God are sooooooo hard to me!

[@Oratile-nl9eo]

There is no bad song on that album, but the two you just mentioned are just so raw, yet so refined.

[@mikeselling6862]

Great review and breakdown! BTW I’m interpreting “eau-de-toi” as spilled blood… water of you, your blood (somebody getting shot on the boulevard)

[@AnonYmous-tr4cu]

“You gully, we gully too” is similar to his reference in Mach’s Hard Lemonade. “Jigga looking gully in that jawn like Vicky” It’s sort of a reference to a Jay Z song “feeling it” being gully means to be tough, street, raw.

[@otterdonnelly9959]

That’s kind of a reach. It’s closer to referencing Raekwon in “Incarcerated Scarfaces”. Every the after bars have the similar assonance and both referencing cash “You got guns, we got guns too/ What up son duke(do)/ You wanna battle for cash and see who sons who(Sun Tzu)/“ vs “You gully, we gully too/ You making funny moves with shake 'n ease/ We making money (move)/“

[@twofivemome]

love tha videos!!🙌🆙

[@KnowDAOself]

Such a well articulated break down of the album. I just got into Mach Hommy and I found your insight to be eye opening to May things that went over my head yet I still enjoyed. Now I have more reasons to appreciate 🧬🙏🏽

Btw. Mach is 39, he’s soon to be 40 in the summer.

[@vickjr98]

Damn really?

[@SymeloMusic0]

thanks for putting me on to mach hommy

[@plembus]

Fanon still is a sharp producer and has not fell off by any means. He just hasn't worked with mach in awhile ,but I'm pretty sure they're cool with one another.

[@audioslavewithamastermind]

It’s easy to see why anyone wouldn’t think PFH is the better of the two. But trust, HBO is one of those art forms that need your time, it’s that special. NONE of PFH’s highs touch HBO’s. August Fanon’s production especially👌🏾

[@otterdonnelly9959]

HBO and The Spook... def the 2 hardest imo. August and Knxwledge were the best fit with Mach. Along with Camoflauge Monk, Fahim, Nicholas Craven, Alchemist and now Conductor Williams

[@loganhubbard1950]

I agree about Gunn and Mach being on another level for Pray for Haiti. That and Balens Cho are my favorite Mach records.

[@Chris-bh3xz]

Thank God is probably one of my favorite mach hommy songs along with others like stellar ray theory, self luh, and kriminel

Been working on my review on your album with D-Track over the last week. Hopefully it will help it get more attention in the anglophone world. (I ended up falling down a KZbin rabbit hole and watched some interview with Robert Nelson for an hour!)

[@scubasteve5827]

Gully means 'tough' basically

[@carlosvasquez9023]

u have to listen to the GAT by mach hommy that is his best album

[@andrewfeminella6590]

what timeline am I on, so glad this project is getting attention

[@fadlansheikh]

gully in slang terms means “in the gutter” or from the streets, so I wouldn’t recommend using that term too casually

[@AnonYmous-tr4cu]

“Mad man, All hope abandoned, Ye who enter’s through the velvet, Rope-a-dope *a pen man*, Your weakness proceeds your hand when, Opposable thumbs, can only separate ____ from drum pattering, I break bread when I recite, Right? Shattered em, Glass jaw babbling hype for gun battling” I believe Mach is saying whoever enters into his ring is gonna have a hard time as he’s gonna be throwing missing punches at effective penman ship. He makes money as he recited words, he shatters his opponents since they have glass jaws and they only hype and talk shit if its gunplay because they’ll get fucked up if its hands only and Mach trusts his fists. Very creative song lyrically and sonically, kudos to Hommy & Fanon.

[@AleksVideoHole]

The legendary MF DOOM has rapped over Zappa before, "Meat Grinder" samples a Mothers of Invention song!

[@ricardoayon176]

when you said being nervous listening to HBO, i felt that. I liked bullet proof luh so much.

[@gabec-w7133]

AVAA, I know I’m a couple years late but to answer your question regarding Zappa samples in hip-hop: MF DOOM samples him for the track Gumbo, technically he also samples him on Beef Rapp but it isn’t incorporated into the beat itself. Madlib also samples him on the intro to Meat Grinder. Dilla samples just his voice on the song Mash.

[@gabec-w7133]

also you’re totally wrong about the song 1080p - I hope in the years since this review you’ve grown to appreciate it.

[@jareddenney]

Amazing video. If you're looking for another Zappa sample, MF DOOM and Madlib sampled him multiple times. I think the best known ones are Meat Grinder off Madvillainy which samples Sleeping In A Jar by The Mothers of Invention, Beef Rapp and Gumbo off MM... FOOD sample Would You Like A Snack? by Zappa

[@imsosincere97]

and after listening to f you again, i really think he's talking about different guns, putting the bandana on the gun to avoid fingerprints, allusions to spraying. and then at the end of the song hes asking for ingredients that sound like theyre for body disposal, i wouldnt know nothing abt that tho. main reason i think this tho is coz on Bloody Penthouse, he says the girl is blacker than a oven, but he thinks shes Russian, her homegirl from Czech Republic, bust it. idk with rap, you can make the oven, heater association, guns coming from Russia, and then the bust it kind of affirms it for me.

[@subpar7404]

You should do a video on Illusory Walls by The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

[@imsosincere97]

watching the twilight zone episode, its about a town with 128 dead people, and a man comes into town claiming to bring people back to life. after showing proof that hes resurrected them, they all pay him to keep them dead. he turns out to be a conman working with an actor! final twist: they really do come back in the end. feels like a supreme haitian metaphor, espcially with the hints towards voodoo. mach-hommy a genius🤷‍♂
