HybridxReality Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I don't know. I just feel as if it should be black for this album given how raw it feels. The red could easily look off colour or tacky, I'm not sure. The mp3s are not the best..! I mean it's fine to listen to but they didn't come out of a fully functioning professional studio, did they? Perhaps I am overemphasising I do kinda see your point. Hm. But they are selling a black boot for cheaper as well. (: I honestly have no clue. I just found a track off iTunes and it did sound a bit low quality, but I downloaded this album a good while back and those sound fine. I have no idea.. Kinda nervous now.

Yes there is the black option, but whilst red is also available the fear of missing out is large despite my reservations! Don't mean to have made you nervous! Just saying that whilst other bootlegs v-d have made were of a good standard, they were dealing with higher quality digital files (?) Also, any voucher codes anyone?

Just saying that whilst other bootlegs v-d have made were of a good standard, they were dealing with higher quality digital files (?) I have a copy of many of V-D's boots. Personally I think the channel ORANGE sounds perfect, and the nostalgia, ULTRA., which was also just a mixtape with a low 192 kbs rip, actually sounded really good as well. It is by no means on the same level as the majority of records out there but it isn't something you are going to put on and think sounds like total crap it's just a cool piece to have, so I expect Bastard will be similar to that. Also if you are at all interested in channel ORANGE on vinyl go ahead and buy one when you get Bastard you will not be disappointed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Btw, it's started http://www.ebay.com/itm/261582819642 Apparently will be a gatefold with a 72-page booklet. Also says: "This is a much louder and more dynamic cut than the previous issue of the album." Don't know how legit that information is, however.

simoncino Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 http://www.discogs.com/sell/item/181975609Anyone want to order and test before the wider v-d release? Guessing this person has their hands on a (test?) copy right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was so inclined to have this listing removed, it could be done. Juss saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I remember listening to the title song "Bastard" for the first time when I was baked. I was outside with a friend late at night. Felt so haunting. I'm getting pretty stoked on this now. Also, I haven't given Chance the Rapper a listen. This thread is kind of making me want to, but then I might want the LP. Best mixtape of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridxReality Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Vinyl-Digital has the pink vinyl. After hearing a couple songs, I'm sure I'll like it. Getting it. Actually idk about ordering after hearing more of it. Might take a couple more listens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's a grower. One if the more creative hip hop releases of recent years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Now if we can just get some older Childish Gambino stuff pressed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'll keep listening to it. Love the album art. "Juice" is a cool song. Favorite so far. I've never heard Childish's mixtapes, actually. Haven't listen to much of Camp, either, but loved Because the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've never heard Childish's mixtapes, actually. Haven't listen to much of Camp, either, but loved Because the Internet. Definitely check out Culdesac and his EP. I Am Just A Rapper Pt. 1 & 2 are really good too. And of course, LISTEN TO MORE CAMP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhitmuzik Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Childish is really bad compared to Chance. joshman150 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entendu Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Culdesac and E.P. Are really good, I'm just a rapper is alright, the stuff older than those is pretty terrible. Royalty is the best (probably his best release IMHO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoncino Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 In the end I just went for it. Bought the red. Hopefully it turns out nice but it was a fair amount of money so will now have to hold off further purchases for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 dat $hipping Yeahhhh. You gotta order like...3 or 4 records from VD to make it really worth it if you're shipping to US :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoncino Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 yeah, was €8ish shipping to the UK which singlehandedly turns a purchase from a decent buy to something you have to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPancakes Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 yeah, was €8ish shipping to the UK which singlehandedly turns a purchase from a decent buy to something you have to think about i ended up getting yeezus and nostalgia, ultra as well and it cost me €9.90 to ship 3 records, which isnt too bad i guess.
