Pink Siifu is easily one of the most versatile, enigmatic and creative artists that's ever made music. His albums are so distinct, going from N*gro, ensley, real bad flights, to gumbo

He truly doesn't. Plus, the fact that he said on a interview, a couple of weeks after the release of "NEGRO" to be exact, that he wouldn't make another album in the same vein, but 1 year later, he pull off a Frank Ocean on us and say that he got "two versions"... Pink Siifu is already a legend in my book. Definitely one of the most thought-provoking and ambitious artists of this generation!!

No doubt. Also, can we please talk about how great he sounds on Uncle Al's "Holy Hell"? I didn't knew it was something my soul was needing until I checked it... sheesh!

Do white fans censor themselves when they go to say their favorite pink siifu album with alternatives like "NINJA" "NEIGHBOR" etc?

that’s part of it but those bands can all draw their existence back to the 1970s Detroit proto-punk band Death, which pink siifu has specifically mentioned as a major influence and inspiration on this new album. And this album is more like a return to pissed Black Identity (“”Extremist””) movements of the 70s and the underground and fringe music that went with it — free jazz, political spoken word, and all the precursors to punk, hardcore, metal, hip hop and industrial/noise, frequently pioneered or defined by Black artists before they were even more frequently co-opted and mainstreamed by white culture (and I don’t think it’s a coincidence, therefore, that one of the first lyrics on the entire album is “white man tryin to take my shit, white man trying to take your shit”). This is not to say that Bad Brains and Death Grips don’t play a role here; it’s just more that this album is part of that same continuum of rebellious, loud, righteously infuriated Black protest music rather than...

...an homage or patchwork of bygone influences. And considering the disturbing parallels between our world today and that of the 60s/70s, it makes plenty of sense. This is the perfect album of our current moment and those clowns at Pitchfork ought to be giving this a 10 along with Fetch The Bolt Cutters.

totally agree with all that, didn't mean to insinuate he was just pulling influence from those guys. this is protest music in the same way fela kuti or delta blues/folk musicians have done in the past. it's much deeper than "oh this reminds me of such and such"

Negro is a brilliant expression of righteous black anger, with one of the most out of left-field turns of the year by far. This stuff is brutal.
