Good choice. Chuck D said that track put his entire legacy to shame.

Justin Timberlake smear campaign.. scapegoating or justified (see what I did there.. hehe)?

Seriously, I think that the publications and social media have been a little too hard on him.
The new album is a miss sure, but not as bad as they say it is. Janet Jackson incident, Prince beef, the tweet that gave "all lives matter" connotations, working with Woody Allen.. all distasteful decisions, and he does come off as an opportunist at times.. but still. |

I don’t know man. I really don’t know about some of the things you’re taking about because I don’t pay attention to Justin Timberlake, but I’ll Tell you what, middle America loves him. He’s reached that level of celebrity where his whiteness and familiarity make him seem wholesome, and been around long enough to no longer be offensive to *anyone,* which is something no artist should aim to be. Moms love him. I think he’s a wanker and a taint, but he’s not, like, Drake-level offensive to me. I do think he’s taking it on the chin pretty hard from the media, but I don’t think he cares. He should stick to acting though. Best thing he’s ever done imo has been Napster guy in The Social Network. |

Oh! I didn't know. Saw Pharell's name on enough stuff I liked so I got a solo CD from library and I'm like "What is this shit?"

Yeah. From the artwork to the music, I just felt it wasn't for me at all. Best way to put it.

Mentioned Evidence's new one before, but it's so damn good, I'm posting the link again.

I think “weaksauce” is as good a way to put it as any. No need for that preppy Disney, Mickey Mouse Club version of “808s & Heartbreak” to even exist if you ask me. |

Oh man. This shit is TOUGH.
Probably the best rap album of the year again unless Kanye drops. |

Haven’t heard it. Not really interested. Like I said, not an actual Kendrick album, so it’s about as significant for me as his guest verse on Bad Blood. If you recommend it, I’ll check it out. But I’m not feeling particularly inspired by the snippets I’ve heard so far. |

I remember you said the exact same thing when Blacker the Berry dropped. At the time you were totally enthused by it.

Huh? Really? I loved TBTB, and I got the day it came out. Listened to a bit of Black Panther today. Not a Kendrick album, but not bad by any means. |

Nah, I was talking about the single. I went a looked back at that period before it's release and it was i you weren't keen on at all. Then Blacker The Berry came out and then you got hyped.
Feels weird to look back and red at that period. Both Kanye and Kendrick (...and Drake) were getting albums out and the anticipation was crazy for them. Except Suchfriends, bless him. I actually feel like I'll never get as hyped for new albums by anyone now. Even DAMN last year was met with "Ah, ok, cool. I'll check that out at some point". I dunno, I need to get my music mojo back.

Yeah, but the Kanye album didn’t come out until almost a year later. For me, 2015 was actually a REALLY boring year. Aside from TPAB, which took some time to grow on me, there was mostly just a shit ton of good-not-great albums, and a few top-notch ones from artists I like but don’t generally get me ultra pumped. But I feel you. I think 2013 was an extremely epic year, then in 2014 there were several albums by solid bands that made an impact (and there was the return of Aphex Twin too!), and then in 2016 we had Kanye (finally), Bowie, Frank Ocean, and a bunch of other solid albums. There are only a few artists that truly get me pumped anymore. I’m listening to less and less new music, but still getting a lot of joy from my favorites. |

13 was just mental. *goes to Wiki to remember*
Asap Rocky Tyler The Creator Ghostface Killah with that frankly brilliant album Twelve Reasons To Dies Chance The Rapper Talib Kweli J. Cole (boy did he fuck up releasing Born Sinner the same day as Yeezus) Kanye First Freddie Gibbs album Jay-Z ASAP Ferg Earl Sweatshirt Drake Pusha T M.I.A All released an album in 2013, and pretty much all of those were solid gold. Crazy year.
