K ... was it part of the CIA project known as MK Ultra though, or are you just saying things?

Also... what does it have to do with fucking shit?

Hey Louder, I take back all the lukewarm stuff I said about “Awaken my Love.” That’s a good record. I still prefer Gambino’s more rappy shit (Worldstar, This is America) but that’s a legit record.

Also Atlanta is one of the greatest shows ever and if you’re not watching it ima kill u

[h8kurdt]

Having an argument with a guy here who seriously says Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time. I'm gonna let him off cos he's 18 but my God. People actually believe this shit.

After living with it for a while now, ASTROWORLD is everything.....

Yeah, I do like it.
I like it indeed.
It drags in moments, but overall it’s a thumper for sure.

I even like “SICKO MODE,” despite the Drake feature. It’s a really good song. I like “Skeletons” very much too.

Strangely not a big fan of “Stop Trying to be God.”

Trav’s appeal is definitely production-centric. I’ve never really been blown away by his delivery or lyrics or anything, but he seems to be finally figuring out who he is and what part of the hip-hop culture he wants to represent (the whole thing, which is wise). Whereas on previous albums he’s seemed a bit confused about who he is... on Rodeo, which I like, he was doing Yeezus-era Kanye stuff but sloppily and without a clear vision. On Birds in the Trap... he got hella trappy. And while that was a good album, it didn’t have a ton of re-listen value.

Oh and that thing with Quavo was super meh.

Anyway, Astroworld is his best album.

I wish he’d lose the dumbass looking dreads, though. He should fro that shit out. I would. He reminds me of the guitarist from KoRn with that dumbass hair.

I call that track, "Stop Trying to Be Outkast." and my wife gets upset. hahahhahahah


I like that he actually rhymes and shit, most rhymes are spot on, very little sloppy pseudo rhymes.


(BTW, black guys that have been told they are ugly all want to rock those dreads cuz it hides their face. it's a shame)


the Quavo verse is weeeeaaakkkk


I adore Stargazing, Can't Say, Houstonfornication, RIP DJ Screw, and Sicko Mode....

[Rob Instigator]

he used to tell you not to roll down the window....


now he says "I might need me some ventilation...."




hahahhahahaha

At first I was just like, “what.”

Felt like a TON of build up for a very lazy, unexciting project. “Stargazing” just meanders along, and that was the first single!

Was supposed to be his big filmic masterpiece, but felt like “Oh, more stuff that vaguely sounds like a mashup of Outkast and Kanye if they were both on Thorazine and too tired to make any noise.”

Further listens revealed its strengths. “Pl-pl-playin’ for keeps!” Little hooks like that get stuck in my head and I want to hear them ahain and again.

But make no mistake, it’s still not god-tier rap music. It’s just successfully realized psychedelic trap that bumps. And the album does drag, and is overlong, and is inconsistent, but the good songs thump like crazy.

He’s still not at the level of Kanye or Kendrick or Frank Ocean (that’s the holy trinity, by the way) in terms of constructing grand kaleidoscopic artistic statements, but he’s getting there.

I went back and listened to Rodeo too. That album has heat as well. I like it much more than Birds of the Trap. Rodeo was underrated, and its sound was lit — if derivative.

Basically in the land of Migos, Travis *feels* like the king. But he’ll have to do a whole lot more to truly run the kingdom.

I agree with you.. I don't think he has it in him to be at Kanye's/Frank's/Kendrick's level.. but he's definitely better than Migos, Drake and the likes. AstroWorld is much better than Birds.

stargazing is a two part surprise

Kanye was NOT talking about MAGA or Trump or his right wing idiot politics. he was strictly referring to being used as the fa e of the BLAXIT line of clothing, (calling for blacks to "exit" the democratic party.)


he is still sucking Trump's seeping asshole on the reg. he is still a fucking idiot asshole ingrate fuck.

The Black Eyed Peas dropped a soulful/jazzy album with Tribe, Nas and Slick Rick features.
