Nas is my favorite artist of all time..

While I love most of his albums and think he is seriously underrated after Illmatic and has so much more to offer, I still hold the stance that it's a masterpiece which in a bunch of ways has never been surpassed..

Crazy good.

Two new Uzi albums, too. Both listenable and fun, neither brilliant.

But JAY ELECTRONICA MAN

Oh yeah bro this album is insane. Hov all over it sounding as fresh as ever. Beautiful samples and top notch production throughout too..

I gave the first Uzi album a listen last weekend.. it was cool. But "aye aye" raps were never my favorite thing in the world. Good for what it is tho.

The outro is one of the best emotional tracks I've heard in a long time..

"Eyes firey, cry tears to my diary
Sometimes a xanny bar can't help you fight back the anxiety
I go to my love quietly, teardrops on our faces
Teardrops on my face like teardrops become waterfalls by the time they reach my laces
My eyelids is like levees but my tear ducts is like glaciers
Cause I contemplate creation, the salt that heals my wounds
Pour out my eyes it's it's like libations
I can't stop my mind from racing, I got numbers on my phone
Pictures on my phone
The day my momma died, I scrolled her texts all day long"

"Sleep well
Lately, I haven't been sleepin' well
I even hit the beach to soak my feet and skip some seashells
Sleep well
The lump inside my throat sometimes just towers like the Eiffel
Sometimes I wonder do the trees get sad when they see leaves fell
Sleep well
The last time that I kissed you, you felt cold but you looked peaceful
I read our message thread when I get low and need a refill
Sleep well"

Beautiful. Hov almost sounds like he's crying on the hook too..

"I got numbers on my phone that'll never ring again
'Cause Allah done called them home, so until we sing again
I got texts on my phone that'll never ping again
I screenshot 'em so I got 'em, I don't want this thing to end"

New The Weeknd album is spectacular.. his best since the Trilogy.

The lead single from it was solid so I'm looking forward to checking it out.

Still consider 'I can't feel my face' one of the best pop songs of the last decade.

I was hoping, In Your Eyes, would feature Peter Gabriel Sound samples, it does not!

Not into The Weeknd, don’t get the hype, dude’s kinda whatever

Westside Gunn’s Pray for Paris is good.

New Earl Sweatshirt - WHOLE WORLD sounding good. Earl is so exact, nothing is wasted, one of the most exciting rappers at the minute.

RIP 8 years of louder’s hip-hop café.
