I feel done in the sense that there is already too many albums this year i have yet to digest

I feel you on that, NR. There are so many releases I haven't heard yet, but To Pimp a Butterfly still gets spins here and it's more than enough.

Travi$ Scott gives update on SWISH (and some really dumb folks talk about it in the comments section)

Has anyone heard the Madlib/Blu/MED collaboration Bad Neighborhood yet? MF Doom is on board for a track. I've sampled it and I think it will deliver.

Haha.. I don't know if I can trust Travi$. But I thought that Piss on Your Grave video was really dope.

P.S. always avoid reading comments about Kanye for my own health and wellbeing.

Well, sometimes (actually pretty much always) someone comes to his defense. And the people who talk shit are obviously just a little stunted. One person says "I'll buy it if it's College Dropout 2, otherwise no way"... which, I guess, means that someone out there actually, inexplicably and incomrehensiy, holds to the opinion that College Dropout is not only Ye's best album, but his only album worth listening to. ???

Fetal alcohol syndrome maybe? I dunno. But damn that's just fucking insane.

I haven't seen the Piss on Your Grave video but I love the track. Better than Ye's contributions to ALLA or Documentary 2.

I'm just happy to hear someone say something about a new Ye album. It's November 2015, which means this is the longest he's ever waited between albums. (Actually maybe there was a bigger gap between Graduation and 808's, but only slightly.)

Finally getting around listening to Kamasi Washington's "The Epic" now.

Yeah maybe my fav album of the year

It's good. I was too hard on it at first, but even then it was good.

Excellent new (as in just came out in the UK) hiphop doc, Fresh Dressed

It has some incredible music for sure, but it's so damn long, I couldn't have finished it in one sitting. :(

Still can't get enough of TPAB though..

I dont think its meant for one sitting. Each disc feels like its own album and has its own title. Like saying Weeknds Trilogy is too long.

Yeah, I'd never dream of attempting a straight through listen, unless I was driving around all day making lengthy, stressful stops. Under those circumstances it would give my day a welcome thread of continuity, odd as that may sound.

I take my top 10 albums of the year pretty seriously. They're like my own personal little academy awards, only, y'know, not awful. If an album has made my top ten, it either perfectly embodies something simple in a new and exciting way, or it blows shit out of the water.

The Epic will be in my top ten for 2015, unless the next 6 weeks sees an unprecedented stream of excellent releases. It deserves it.

Ah ok, I understand now! Will listen to each CD seperately then come back with my opinion.

Yo guys, the new GoldLink album is such a pleasant surprise. It's FUNKY as hell and impossible not to enjoy. Please check it out! http://www.musictimes.com/articles/5...didnt-talk.htm

The new Rustie album is like ... Well... if there were Molly raves in heaven, and their essence could be distilled into a pure chemical liquid form, and injected directly into the spinal column, I imagine it would feel almost exactly like EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE sounds.

Not hip-hop related really. No D. Brown on this release. But damn. Worth mentioning at least.

I fucking love electronic music.

Thought this song deserves to be posted here, Lil Boosie's "Letter 2 PAC": https://youtube.com/watch?v=8bP0SJT0cYM

Amazing.

any thoughts on the recent AE_LIVE recordings?

I love Autechre but I haven't heard the recordings yet. I bought the MP3 version, but I just haven't gotten around to listening yet.
