Orpheus vs. the Sirens: Ka's Mythological Masterpiece
Vložit

- Ka is one of the best rappers alive and Orpheus Vs the Sirens might be his best work yet. What he and Animoss were able to create here is the perfect blend of hip hop and Greek Mythology, 2 things that seem to be completely different, yet Ka finds parallels where no one else could.

This is genuinely one of the greatest albums ever made, I'm not kidding. The greatest poet music has ever seen.
Truth and Facts!!!
Facts I can’t get over it I find new meanings in the bars his the best that ever put words together 🙏🏾🎶
You're not kidding n if anyone try to call yo bluff they not real rap fans
This is such a worthless thing to say nowadays because of how many times people say this, but you're right. At the very least, this is an absolutely flawless hip hop album. Not a single blemish on this album. I think it's safe to say that this is one of the best pieces of music ever. A masterpiece
Ka (as well as Roc Marciano) is probably the most important NYC artist of the last 10 years. He may not be the most famous but his artistry is brilliant, & you can hear is influence in guys like Navy Blue
They were supposed to make a joint album called Metal Clergy years ago but since they've both kept getting better, the wait is worth it (if they're still gonna do it)
1000%
It's sad because I wish Nas would go back to this
don’t forget elucid
Sirens deadass make u feel like you flying on a cloud or a chariot of fire
Ka is one of the greatest underground artist of all time. he has no mid or bad project in his discography. I love his work !
I totally agree. I listened through his discography numerous times to see if I’m bugging but nah, his music is near flawless
Too me
This is for sure one of my favorite albums of all time. I consider this type of lyricism to be perfect. The consistency in the album regarding the constant story-telling metaphors tied like glue to the concept of the album is truly remarkable. Weaving the everyday struggles of a modern world / black NYC citizen combined with greek mythology and existential questions, are what makes the production choice and the overall theme truly unique and I have never seen an album execute an idea like this with such cohesion. It feels like every word he utters is a double or triple entendre and the punchlines are not the typical "in your face" punch lines but instead a more sophisticated statement and observation of the world which Ka himself has seen or characters in history has seen. Timeless project. I am not sure if I can get any more impressed from a lyrical and conceptual standpoint period, than when I heard this album the first couple of times.
Very well put
Ka is the only musical artist to ever bring me to tears when I listen to his music. Every album of his has at least one or two songs that can bring me such fantastic emotions.
this album is 10/10.
This album is just special. In my running for the one of the greatest masterpieces of all time.
Out of all of KA’s albums, this is the one I return to frequently 🎊
I dont have word to express what I felt the first time I listened this album.... Suprised, first, by Ka. A great rapper with a complex-poetry lyrics... His tone and his flow are both remarquable. But, as a producer, I was shocked about Animo$$ productions !!! Damn, its so smooth and samples (I could find most of them btw) are litterally gold. For me, the LA based producer did a superrelevant work (and still does). And the mythological aspect gives another dimension to this "chef d'oeuvre". Thanks for this review Def Goldbloom !!! Much appreciated !!! Luv and respect from france
You could probably do a video for every one of his albums. They're all super atmospheric, cohesive and thematically unique from each other. It's hard to pick a favorite. Mine keeps changing
Between KA, Lupe Fiasco and Ab Soul I don’t know who to thank more for getting me through rough times
Thanks for this, it’s such a great album. Animoss did such a great job creating the perfect atmosphere for Ka too.
Navy Blue’s style does remind me of Ka a little bit, great lyricism and also this same atmosphere he is able to create through his cadence!
I always put Ka in my top 5 all time nice to see more people appreciating what he does. Huge fan of this channel to dawg. U gotta do a Kool G Rap video now💯
Good call with Kool G! I’ll have to add him to the list
Thank you for giving Ka the recognition he deserves on this website. You should do a vid on Roc Marci next
The Narration is out of this world genuinely phenomenal 🥶🥶🥶
Absolutely perfect video to pay honour to one of the best albums in recent years.
My favourite piece of Art By KA
Ka is in my top 5 rappers ever
This and Descendants of Cain. Two of my favorite albums ever.
One of my favorite albums it's pure art and poetry
Was searching for a Rodriguez song and by accident bounced on Ka. Such a great accident.
Good video 👍
Awesome video. I do love this album, but my personal favorite from KA is probably A Night’s Gambit, but like, his whole catalogue is unfuckwithable regardless. Always look forward to an upload from Def Goldbloom!!
Thanks man!
Thank you so much for talking about this album and Ka in general
he is one of my all-time favorites.
please never stop making these videos, you are going to blow up sometime soon, I just know it.
Appreciate you Mr.E 🙏
Album masterpiece ka is spoken wordAmazing album best last year.
I'm sure you know by now, but our guy KA just dropped not one, but two albums/gems.
In 2018 I went to Ka's website and bought this cd. He packaged and mailed it. I opened it, put it in the cd player of truck and that cd has been in there for 4 years. Obviously not the only thing I listen to but when the signal is bad, I can listen to that joint start to finish every time. A masterpiece!
Thanks for posting this, Ka deserves more genrral recognition 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thankyou for this video. Ka is a master in this craft and continues to elevate the genre with his records. Peace peace
YO PEACE AND LOVE FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. SERIOUSLY. YOUR WHOLE CHANNEL IS A BLESSING FOR THOSE THAT KNOW THE REAL.
Totally agree definitely one of the best Rap HIp Hop albums of the Century. Bar for Bar it's just un parallel to whats on offer. Connesiur Rap. Qasim is a gIft to us. Badlands.
I have had some tough critique on some of your video's. But this one is so very well done, including the video you picked.
I have listened to quiet a few Ka tracks in these last years. But indeed I always just let myself flow in the music, the sounds and never truly focus on his words, which is not a bad thing. It's layered with his calming voice intertwining with the scenic beats/loops. And sometimes I get a few piercing sentences that overrule the sounds and enter my cognition. Thank you for adding some context, this was an addition, and not taking much away from the mystery that I love.
Peace! Thanks for sticking with me Stones, glad you enjoyed it
@@DefGoldbloom i can be a direct c*nt sometimes but im nuanced in my opinion. Thanks for your friendly replies. Despite my harshness.
Thank you for this video
Thanks for watching!
I'm always so excited for ur videos bro ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you man 🙏
To anyone here seeing this : You have the power to spread awareness towards Ka's music, recommend him to any react channel you can, his talent is not in question
this is the greatest peice of art period
A literal masterpiece! Nuff said
wow this video definitely deserves more views, likes, and you deserve more subs cuz this is great. this album never fails to give me chills every time i listen and thankfully it always finds a way to pop into my head - great stuff
Thanks!
My introduction was descendants of Cain but everyone I knew kept referring me to this project since I loved Cain lp and I must admit this his magnum opus 🏆🏆🏆
"From bummy to one hundred money sown in pocket Flow aquatic, known alone for my slow hypnotic" - From 'Argo': Track 5
This song is so well placed in the album, everytime it get's here I loose my shit!
KA and Roc got me back listening to HipHop......but KA shit so intricate clever just a brilliant fucking writer fr.....KAs daone of the gods of this new music....can't forget Planet Asia...WTK .....and Prodigy who used his celebrity to push da underground to the surface.....before he died he was trying to some great stuff with ALC
Great video I have only recently started listening to Ka and feel I am just scratching the surface of his bars. Could you go into more depth about his actual bars?
10/10 VIDEO. 10/10 ALBUM.
🙌🏻
KA is one of my all time favorites, so I was hoping you'd make a video on him! He's easily one of the best lyricists in the game and his choice of minimal production with no drums helps provide an atmosphere I only hear from KA.
Now as for another all time favorite, I'm really hoping you make a video on Roc Marciano. You've got videos on Stove God Cooks, Griselda, Mach Hommy, and even KA. A video focusing on Roc Marciano's career would be dope, because of the influence he's had on underground Hip-Hop.
A Roc video will def be happening, taking my time with that one tho cuz I gotta make sure to do him justice
@@DefGoldbloom I feel you on that. His influence on the game can't be understated so doing it right is tricky. I'm sure you'll do great given the consistency in quality you have thus far.
Great analysis! Could you do a video on AKAI SOLO and producer iblss’s Mad Space album? I love all of AKAI’s work, and I think you’d really appreciate his off-kilter but energized flow and ace content.
Mad Space is dope as hell great call
Ka is my fav. artist!His conceptual work is legendary there is noone close to him even Roc Marciano.The thing i want to say as a Greek guy is that it was Oddysey vs Sirens not Orpheus!I dont know If this is a mistake or it is done on purpose and have a meaning for Ka but i always wanted to notice this.Anyway.Ka's a legend for sure.
The greatest of all time. Ka is the true and living, Animoss goated for this too.
My favorite album oat ever since it came out.
Masterpiece of an album. His 2nd best in my opinion.
whats your top 1? mine is 1. orpheus, 2. honor killed the samurai
@@blonded_458 mine is Honor Killed the Samurai! I even did a video on it myself I love it so much!
His best project imo
Billy Woods is #1 to me but Ka is without a doubt a close second.
How I missed this I don't know? I am the biggest Ka fan! He's been in my top 5 for years now. My number 2. Emcee of all time and imho the greatest lyricist Hip Hop has ever seen. But, that's just my opinion lol
your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper
Super fly
This was dope but my favorite Ka albums are Grief Pedigree and Dr Yen lo
My ka ranking
1 honor killed the samurai (fav album of all time )
2 the nights gambit
3 orpheus versus the sirens
4 descendants of Kane
5 a martyrs reward
6 Woeful studies
7 languish arts

What movie was that clip of Orpheus and Jason from?
Jason and the Argonauts from 2000
You guessed it, pubercent was too pleasent,
I trailed the block, failed a lot but gave it true effort,
The turf raised me, never the word lazy
Make every verse crazy like tommorow I push my first daisy
Descendentes of Cain. Superbly.
Thanks for the vid! I couldn't find the full name of the movie at the beginning, anyone who knows?
That’s from Jason & The Argonauts from 2000
@@DefGoldbloom I appreciate, thank you ✌️
Ive met KA. His albums are Amazing!!! He really does not get the respect as an Artist

Jason and the Argonauts
Languish Arts. Woeful Studies. To Our Name. Dr. Yen Lo
