I would rather listen to Taylor Swift than Drake at this point. When "Bad Blood" gets stuck in my head, at least it gets the neurons flowing. It's fun. When "Started from the bottom" gets in my head, it's like that earworm scene from Star Trek II Drake's best moment for me came at the end of IYRTITL. "6 p.m. In New York" ... And that was his best Kanye impression. He almost found an identity for himself with tracks like "6 man" ... but then he didn't. He's surviced this long because he's always the first one to joke about himself. Or was. So he gets away with being ridiculous because he does this "aw shucks" shit. But deep down, he's a Trump-level narcissist. I'll bet Lil Wayns is cursing himself for helping Drake. I can't imagine why Kanye, who's still, inexplicably, somehow at the top of his game (musically) 12 years into his career, by associating himself with such a clearly transitory figure. I doubt there will actually be a collab album. People throw out those ideas all the time. Kendrick and J Cole? Beyoncé and Jay Z? But how often does it actually come to pass? Kanye was supposed to make a Child Rebel Soldier album too. Remember that? That would have been awesome, of course, but it never happened. He was also supposed to have a new album out by now. Didn't happen. And Good Ass Job never happened. Let's hope this goes in the "never happened" pile... very soon. |

I want someone to make a modern All Eyez on Me. Just straight West Coast bangers from start to finish.
As much as Kendrick admires 2Pac, I think he's in a different lane. He reminds me more of Common, Lupe and Pharaoh Monch. |

The Doc 2.5 proved that (if anyone still had doubts) The Game is far far superior to his counterpart 50 Cent.

@ Rob
You should check out Tory Lanez, "Cruel Intentions" EP in particular. His production is very similar to Travis Scott's so I think you're gonna dig it. I think it's a perfect EP from start to finish. His official debut album drops next weekend and I'm pretty excited. |

on its own musically Doc 2.5 is the superior record but in the context of its setting and experience Doctors Advocate is superior. sort of like how In Utero is mos.def better than Nevermind but how Nevermind is the more impacting record is kind of like "duh"

Game is always pretty overlooked these days. He puts out so many albums and very few of them become widespread projects. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is. I very much doubt he'll ever drop another "classic" in the cultural sense.

Yeah, that's true globally, but In Utero hits me much harder. I think the only Nevermind track that packs the same punch as "Serve the Servants" and "Scentless Apprentice" is "In Bloom" ... maybe "Drain You." "Lithium" if I haven't heard it in a while. I think I'm one of the few people who genuinely thinks In Utero is an all around better record, no caveats. Like, I know it's not as widely beloved, and doesn't quite have Nevermind's "legendary" status as far as the pop world is concerned, but I think it's a stronger record in literally every imaginable way. |

I was recently reading though that Cobain book that Rolling Stone published shortly after his death (girlfriend gave me a copy a few weeks back) and I re-read all the original Nirvana album reviews Rolling Stone initially published. Almost unthinkable now, but "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was not even mentioned in the Nevermind review that came out in '91.
I'm not sure how anyone could listen to that album and not at least think of the song as noteworthy. I mean, it's certainly not their best song, or even in the top 10, but it's an album opener and a half. How did that not warrant a mention? I know the album and single hadn't blown up at the time of the review, but still. It's almost funny to imagine someone putting on Nevermind for the first time and just kinda going "meh, next!" in the middle of SLTS. Amirite? |

Anticipating Sev's thoughts on Tory's Cruel Intentions EP as well.
