I haven't really listened to anything other than TLOP and Kendrick hip hop wise for a fuckin' while now. I know I was kinda feeling Evol for a bit. I'll give it another spin. But man that shit just barely feels worth it when there's these two albums are out at the same time.
I'm so ready for some new blood in hip hop that I can get on board with. But I think I may just be getting too old to relate at all to the really new shit. I kinda feel like the rise of Rocky, Kendrick and Chance may have been the last round of up and comers that I could get on board with (them and Joey... I do love Joey).
I think I'm just getting kind of lame. If rather listen to Tribe, Digable planets, Outkast and other now super-old shit than anything new outside the realm of Kendrick, Chance, Rocky and Ye (not that he's new, but with "old" artists like him, who the fuck needs "new" ones?)
Plus there's a new PJ Harvey album out so I may be not giving a shit about much else for a while.
