New Vince Staples album called “FM!” dropped last night.
![]() I’ve always really liked Vince, and on first listen this new hard-going, short and punchy EP-length album is no exception. However — Howver , I say — every time Vince drops a new album I find myself expecting a tour de force on par with “Summertime ‘06,” which stretched the possibilities for a new hip-hop artist much like Kendrick’s “good kid, mAAd city” did. And every time, though I’m always happy with the result, I am a little disappointed that the sprawling, boundless, textured style of that first full-length album seems to behind him. I like “Prima Donna,” and “Big Fish Theory” and this new one — all great projects — but, while these projects are fun and WAY above the standard quality level of hip-hop in the 2010s, the genius of “Summertime ‘06” has never been replicated. I’ll be listening more for sure. |

It's incredible how diametrically different you and Rob are in what you want from rap music. I'll admit I'm off the same feelings as you. His summertime album was something else for sure. I'll give his new one a whirl though.

disenfranchised Dirty South Third Coast, y'alll.
hhahahahahahah. I like songs about drugs n shit. When you grow up in the H listening to Geto Boys, Scarface, UGK, DJ Screw, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, etc., you grow to understand how pathetic so many pop rappers are.

I love Norf Norf tho....
LOVE IT. Love that fucked up sound behind his voice. I love rappers who do not double track their voices every single fucking line. I HATE THAT SHIT. I want to hear ONE voice.

I also love how at the end of Norf Norf he raps about how he wants the Astros to take an L.

Funnily enough, Thurston Moore double-tracked pretty much every vocal he laid down between 1985 and 1991, and he’s ¼ of the reason we know each other. |

Yeah fuck that guy. “I like dumb slappy shit that slaps and is dumb by Migos cuz I’m from the south.” Vomit. I like expansive, thoughtful, resplendent and transcendent hip-hop that makes me forget I’m listening to a genre and feel like I’m *experiencing something special musically.* (Pretty sure we agree about OutKast and to a lesser extent Big KRIT, though.) |

Again, the trinity to which all modern rap music shall be compared is: Kanye/Kendrick/Frank Ocean. Leading auteur type; leading R-A-P type; leading artful pop/R&B/soul type, respectively.

Kanye thinks getting stripper asshole bleach on his shirt is funny, which it is NOT, because what type of stripper does not wipe their asshole bleach off before going to work? Kanye is so stupid. SO STUPID.

Sounded dumb to me at first, but took on new meaning when I saw it CHANTED by thousands of people. Now it would be weird if the lyrics were anything else. I mean, it’s still dumb, but that song bangs and those words are so audacious that it just works! That song — like all of Kanye’s music — has built a little home for itself inside of my soul. Like a tapeworm. Kanye may be a dumbass, but his music works even when it shouldn’t. His music eats your music. In fact, “Codeine Crazy” is just a prolonged reaction to something Kanye ate and digested 10 years ago, shat out through Future’s mouth. ![]() |
