huh. I think I liked that other cover better.
It's prettty lame that he said it was coming out on 1/20, but it's coming out at like 9PM. Pfft. |

downloading Sorry 4 The Wait 2 right now...
|
thought there'd be some opinions posted by now, so ok, I'll go first...
Sorry 4 The Wait 2 is better than Sorry 4 The Wait. It's better than Dedication IV. And V. It is the best mixtape he's done since No Ceilings. It is lyrically more consistent than IANAHB2. I think that basically Wayne has something to talk about right now. So he's got a driving force behind him. The Cash Money beef is giving him something to care about, so instead of just stringing together nonsequeters, he's coming out hard w/ a purpose. And that's compelling him to care again about HOW he's stringing those words together. HOW he's delivering syllables. I still need to give it more listens to have more to discuss, but initial reaction is: I'm impressed. |
y'all are sleeping.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
yeah, definitely his best tape since No Ceilings.
|
i'm listening to Tetsuo & Youth at the moment and damn, it is actually really good! the long songs don't even bother me as much as i worried.
also, i heard some of Bjork's new album last night and it's beautiful. |
this is gonna be such a great year for music.

I feel that. I was thinking the same thing yesterday. It's not even Feb yet, and I've already been really impressed w/ Panda Bear, Death Gripz, Joey Bada$$, Weezy... there's so much stuff announced between now and the Spring that I'm excited for... |
this little Kanye vid just made my day :): https://youtube.com/watch?v=BMJE9vgD1KU

Yeah I saw you were kinda trippin on the song lengths. I actually wrote a pretty hefty reply to that "my biggest problem is that Lupe be the one doing the rapping" comment, but I lost it... I was going to give you some shit for being super hard to read, but now it seems like you hadn't heard the record at te time? And now you have and you're digging it? I hope so, because I've always been like warm on Lupe. I liked the Cool, and I thought I liked Food & Liquor (a recent spin of the 5-year anniversary edition-- which come on... Who does a 5-year anniversary edition of anything?-- kinda bored me to tears and I was forced to reconsider my entire opinion of the album).... I never listened to Lazers, and I'm not sure why I was excited for this record but... Jesus, it's really goddamn artful. It's thematic, cinematic and BIG like a slightly more airy, pop friendly MBDTF. It's got that lovely cover art (Is that design by the same guy who did the packaging for 808's?) and mostly it's fresh as hell. "Mural" is my jam right now. What a killer track. Other tracks don't necessitate the length... Like "Chopper," which would have been perfectly fitting as a 3 minute banger.... Some of the songs sound a bit out of place next to the more (can't believe I'm saying this) George & Ira Gershwin-like beauty of "Summer," "Mural," "Dots & Lines," "Fall," "Madonna.." Etc. But the lesser songs have a lot to love about them. (Though there was no need to rhyme "FARTS" with "art" and "smart" on "Adoration of the Magi"... Really, that was totally uncalled for. Haha) I think it's safe to praise Lupe for taking some chances. This may well be his MBDTF, and while it's got nothing on Ye, It's still an admirable attempt to prog-out hip hop. Plus, I like the Anime references :) Not as solid and straight up deadly a record as B4.DA.$$, but as far as I'm concerned B4.DA.$$ is an undisputed success, and one of the strongest debuts in years. |

You guys will just totally miss it like you did the Gotham LP. Then when I talk about it, you'll not say anything and I'll be like "... Testing?" Nah, just playing. |
nah I still need to get Gotham. I'm embarrassed. But this looks amazing.
I'm with you B4.DA.$$ man. That shit is classic out the box. Much praise for this kid. His mixtape albums were dope, but this is just... man. Wow. |
I'm knee deep in new music right now. I've got the two albums I just rambled about (Tetsuo; B4.DA.$$), the new motherfuckin' Aphex Twin EP (which is totally alien compared to Syro), then there's the new Future Brown, the new Björk, Sorry 4 The Wait 2, the new Sleater-Kinney, new Moon Duo, new MCFERRDOG, new Action Bronson... In short, too fucking much!
I haven't even finished my 2014 lists yet. |
yeah 2015 started slow... for a week. Now it's popping.
I got a lot I wanna hear too. But def get to that Sorry 4 The Wait 2. It's legit. |

I already have all those release! I just haven't had time to listen to all of them so, I have to prioritize. I made sure to crank the new Aphex Twin because it's new Aphex Twin, and I have been playing the shit out of both B4.DA.$$ and Tetsuo & Youth, but I haven't heard all of the new S-K yet! what I have heard is surprisingly unspectacular, I'm sorry to say, but I've got to give it more time or I'm just a douche. |

Is this the project that was originally totled "Harlem Knights"? I've heard some of those tracks. I have no idea what's going on in their camp these days but they need to be more clear about what is/isn't an official release. I feel like that 2013 lp I grabbed has to be a bootleg. Frustrating. |
