Drake is far beneath Chance's level of course, but most people don't acknowledge it yet, sadly.
|
And untitled unmastered. is much better than VIEWS of course.
Kendrick's first verse on Untitled 05 alone is better than that album: Quote:

Hey louder, Kaytranada's 99% is out of this world. I just love it. It's like a mashup of Dilla, Daft Punk in a world where "Get Lucky" wasn't awful, and MIA, with some slick verses from Vic Mensa and Anderson Paak scattered throughout.
It's really, really good. I was expecting it to be a more traditional hip-hop album. But it's more like Prefuse 73 — electronic at heart with enough hip-hop to appeal to that audience. I'm really solidly impressed by it. Probably my favorite electronic release this year, having already surpassed Moderat and Underworld. Currently it's threatening Bey's position in my favorite albums list. A very welcome new release by a promising new player. I just fucking love it. |

WTF? New Ariana Grande is on Spotify... but only the 4 singles are playable. Every other song you get an error msg that says it can't be played.

Hey, Estelle!!!
You guys remember Estelle? Fucking Estelle!!! Even before I liked Kanye, I LOVED "American Boy." One of the best singles of the '00s. No idea where she's been since then, but she was dope. Looking forward to this. Smell the DA.I.S.Y. was a solid little album that I ended up overlooking in the long run in 2014, but it was good shit. |
American Boy was legit.
|
Yeah that's a classic collab.

Travis just announced a new tape titled "Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight", coming soon.. which will be followed by an album titled "AstroWorld."
|
"My next album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is basically about all my friends and growing up here [in Missouri City]. I'm not saying that it's a trap -- we not in the f---ing projects but it's like a social trap," he explained. "It's a social connection trap from what you want to do and how you want to express yourself. I feel like everyone just gets constricted by their parents or just, life."
|
New Travis Scott, huh? Sounds ... pretty cool! I maintain that he's a strong voice in hip-hop.

Hey, speaking of that whole crew, I just remembered how absolutely morherfucking insanely good Pusha T's "PAIN" (feat. Future) is.
I heard it at the end of the last episode of Silicon Valley (which pretty much always has dope ass hip hop tracks in the end credits), and I was like, Daaaaamn that shit holds up! Who's with me? Pusha T - PAIN feat. Future; official music video (YouTube, 2013) SFAD, I think even you would like this one. Give it a listen. Yeah it's old, but My Name is My Name is having a resurgence in Severianland, and I want you all to be a part of it. |
Is there a better song i should check out from that album like one that actually raps on it? Speaking of rap i was getting off the Metro visiting my priest and i was listening to Kid A when i finally realized National Anthem is hiphopAF

My decade begins with e-40 In A Major Way and ends with The Game Doctor's Advocate. Im comfortable with this, but i hadn't realized it had actually been ten no twenty years for me |
30 years if you count me singing NWA tracks as a preschooler in the backseat of my auntie's 84 Celica with 12" pioneers and a kenwood tape deck ;)
My fav |
Having been exposed to so much gangsta and hood shit in my formative years might just explain a lot about me. It definitely explains my bad mouth!

Pusha's entire verse is rap. Everything is rap but Future's hook. Thought you'd appreciate it because, relatively speaking, Pusha T is pretty "gangsta" by current standards. There's Pusha, there's Freddie Gibbs, there's Vince Staples (kinda), and the rest is barely related to gangsta rap. I just think the beat is hard as fuck, the sample is insane, and the gunshots give it some umph. |
My favorite decade of rap used to be 1993-2003, but I realized later that most of that shit was shit except for tried and true faves like Tribe, Wu, Jay, Madlib and so on.
Now my favorite "decade" of rap is the 12 years Kanye's been rapping. Hah. |
