Black Up lets some sunlight in, breathes fresh air, and finds Butler returning. But if Shabazz Palaces' first phase was about building a mystique, their Sub Pop debut is the product of opening up. Pitchfork summed it up thusly: 'Black Up is drowned in murky instrumentals and bombastic, introspective rhymes. Shabazz Palaces' Black Up, the group's Sub Pop debut, was recently hailed as one of the best albums of the decade by outlets like Pitchfork, Gorilla Vs Bear, and Variety. The album was produced by Knife Knights at Gunbeat Serenade Studio in Outplace Palacelands.' Reception Critical reception įLAC (tracks) 16 bit/ 44,1kHz Time - 00:42:13 minutes 229.13 MB Genre: Hip-Hop. It was released on Jin the United States on Sub Pop. Black Up is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Shabazz Palaces. It seems that another great record from these guys is not possible unless they completely move on and begin journeying in a new direction. It seems that Shabazz Palaces is beginning to grow stale. With three tracks that stand out over the 40 minute, 10 track project, it is a bummer that this is what Palaces was conjuring over the last three years. With the addition of auto tuned howling, its potential is plundered. In ways, it sounds like an early version of 'Fast Learner'. There are some really great aesthetics, however, as a song, its lyrics are lackluster to the point where its hard to get through the song. 'Money Yoga' is not as laughable as 'Wet'. Its as if they let a group of kindergarten kids to produce the track for fun and decided to include it in their record. The amount of great tracks these guys have made surrounding this topic, it is crazy to see them fall miserably short. 'Wet' is a laughable song that tries to approach Palaces favourite topic fake people. With these great tracks scattered throughout the album, there are also some terrible tracks that stand out more than the better tracks. However, at some point, Butler's lyrics grow stale. The instrumental evolves nicely over the duration of the track. The other pretty good track, also a single, is 'Chocolate Souffle'. At some points, his rapping style gets a bit too hyped for slow vibes. My only problem with it is the feature with 'Purple Tape Nate'. The reverbed kick and soft trumpet melody set the mood for Butler to float around the scene. The first single off of 'TDODD' 'Fast Learner' is a great track for a cool ass slow drive. 'Ad Ventures' is the best of the batch due to its clear lyrical storytelling fixed with amazing, emotional production. However, there are a few stray tracks that I would still add to a 'Best of' list. In most cases, the album adds nothing new and exciting to the evolution of Shabazz Palaces. The production on many of the tracks sounds rushed and boring. This record falls short on too many levels especially when comparing it to Palaces previous records (this is no 'Black Up' or 'Lese Majesty').

Sin embargo hay una serie de detalles y arreglos que logran equilibrar la esencia de varias canciones haciendo de este álbum un viaje interesante, pero no entretenido, que se disfrutará más en segundo plano, durante un viaje espiritual. Son algo pesadas de escuchar, especialmente por su falta de melodía y coro y, en parte, pueden sonar redundantes con la cantidad de loops que usan.
