Whoa hey, what?! I must have just flown right by this yesterday, because if I'd noticed I certainly would have taken a sec to give you shit. |
Haha!! LOL.

You listening to Post Malone's track with the Beibers? That white boy finally coming out with a full LP
|
Waiting for some real opinions on the Common album..

I wrote this back in May on my stupid little jazz blog. It seems like it is really heavy now that a new Tribe album is dropping next week:

You guys I'm kinda nervous about the new Tribe.
I mean, this is a huge deal. NR, you obviously know what I mean. Sounds like we've been into Tribe for roughly the same amount of time 'cause we're old ass fucks. You vividly remember the golden days, better than I do (I couldn't tell you where I was when I first heard Minight Marauders). Aren't you just a tad worried? From my experience, almost nobody has been able to soundly pull off a "return" or "reunion" album that matched up to their original shit. Portishead... maybe Mission of Burma... Jay Z. But most who've tried have ended up kinda fucking up their legacy. With Tribe you have the added significance of a founding member dying this year (RIP Phife). So this album can't be a "return" or a "reunion" ... they won't keep going without Phife.. It's gotta be their last statement, and it has a lot to live up to. I'm pretty sure it will at least be good. But will it be ATCQ-canon worthy? Will it be "great?" I don't know. Would really bum me out to read "meh" reviews of this thing. |
I am actually not worried. I have faith in Tip not putting the Tribe name on something unworthy.
|
The cover art is certainly badass.

From Pitchfork's pretty-good review of Cozy Tapes:
Quote:
:eek: What the fuck? The review of LONG.LIVE.A$AP says the following in its pull quote: "A few months ago, A$AP Rocky's career seemed mired in purgatory as his major label debut continued to be pushed back. But LongLiveA$AP actually delivers on and even exceeds the promise of 2011's LiveLoveA$AP mixtape, preserving Rocky's immaculate taste while smartly upgrading his sound." What a bunch of shit man. I know "Wild for the Night" sucks, but LONG.LIVE is one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade. The posse tracks are what really make it shine, along with the production. No offense to this new joint, but LongLive is WAY better. Stupid ass pitchfork. |
If there's one good thing to come out of this, it's that Martin Shkreli said he'd leak that wu tang album if Trump wins.

Yeah, none of that matters a fucking bit actually.
|
Sorry. I'm several stages of grief away from looking on the bright side of this apocalyptic fucking nightmare.
Thouhh I've taken solace in To Pimp a Butterfly, the new Common, and MBDTF ("Lost in the World/Who Will Survive in America?") over the past 36 godforsaken hours. |
|
God chose Trump right?
|
I would love it if we could get to talking about some trivial shit. I need to take my mind off the suffocating reality of this situation.
I have fucking NOTHING to say about Kanye West or my favorite albums or how much I hate Drake. My head is a soup of post-traumatic political misery. I could really use my hip-hop café bros right about now. |

|
Louder you were right, Common's new album is pretty extraordinary. Really the best thing I've heard from him since Be. Only instead of being soft and cuddly early-Ye soulful like Be, it's this gritty sonic assault. Reminds a bit of TPAB actually.
Beautiful "Black excellence" music. The only thing that's giving me hope right now. |
there's this dude I work with. he's mostly nice and all but he loves that song "Trappin out A Mansion". he's cool and rock and roll when drinking and smoking but, when he hits that crack rock it's "Trappin out a Mansion" and nothing else matters and he continues to play every stupid fucking song from this Young Dolph ass hole. he ungodly turns into a dumbass asshole bi polar jack off. and I hate him and his favorite shitty song. I tried to talk him out of smoking rock. but..... the crack is too good. I can even smell the cocaine when it burns. he tells me he like's hip hop, I tell him he's a shit head crackhead.
....methhead music for crackheads. you crackhead. this is what I have to put up with. and you support it and you should die! |
Just bought this:

"Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow
They are extensions of instinctual soul It's the highest in commodity grade and you could get it today" Wow. |
Busta is killing it like it's the 90's all over again.
|
This album is perfect.. futuristic..
Exactly what I expected. |
So Childish Gambino is doing psych-funk now. I never liked him before.. but if his new album is anything like that first single, then it's gonna be AMAZING.

Meh. |
yeah I'm kinda like... when he dropped "Bonfire" I thought it was incredible. And still do really. But I've never even sat thru a full Gambino album. He's got some good verses or wahtever but I'm just not really that interested.
|
I always hated his rapping and just wanted him to make an album full of singing. So I got what I wanted. I'm happy.
|
This is where I'm coming from:
We just got a NEW ATCQ ALBUM. An unqualified racist reality star pussy groper is our soon-to-be Commander-in-chief, and he will turn the remnants of our democracy into a full blown political oligarchy. I don't have the time or evergy or air to spare on someone as minor and ultimately trivial as Donald Glover. I want to hear Kendrick shouting from rooftops. I want ATCQ. I want Common. I want music that's going to restore my faith. No offense. |
I won't be able to hear the Tribe til tonight. Obviously you'll get me thoughts as soon as I can haha.

New Tribe is great. Fairly certain it's a great album. One listen hooked me, silenced all my fears.
Easily better than 90% of the hip-hop albums of the decade. They done did it. |
After a few listens.. this album is pure eargasm. Seriously. Ahh.
