Shoreline Mafia and Blueface are extremely my shit right now. Love that dark LA sound going around right now, shout out to 03 Greedo and Drakeo the Ruler too.

ASAP FERG has been confirmed at University of Houston's Frontier Fiesta headliner March 23.


Is it worth it to check him out live?


Last year Jeremih was supposed to perform but he got booted off hios own tour.


I saw Lupe Fiasco and Wale and Bun B at one of these concerts, as well as Rae Sremmurd. That shit was dope.

It’s funny that you like Lupe but hate Kanye. Really quite nonsensical, to be honest.

Anyway, I personally am not a fan of Ferg, though I’ve tried to be. I *might* drive across town to see him if it was for a free show, but I wouldn’t sit in traffic for the thing.

I would go for a Rocky show, probably.

Sev, The Life of Pablo is still my favorite album since To Pimp a Butterfly.. just listened to it the whole way through a few days ago and it still holds up.

Oh, for sure. In terms of sheer enjoyment, it’s one of my favorite Kanye albums. Really goddamn strong, and just a great record all around.

I love TPAB, but I prefer DAMN. I think I prefer Blonde as well. But my albums of the decade list is going to be reeeeally boring with all the Kanye and Kendrick.

I can’t listen to “ye” right now because it’s mashed up in my mind with Trump nonsense and also because despite having good songs, it’s actually super half-baked for a Kanye “album,” so I refuse to call it a Kanye album. It’s an EP.

Would have been awesome if he’d just put “Ghost Town” and maybe “No Mistakes” on Kids See Ghosts, and released the rest of the tracks as standalone single throughout 2018. He has an imperfect discography now. :(

NILE Choppa - CAPO......this shit off the chain!!!

Man, Action Bronson is getting even larger it seems.

I'm worried about the dude's health.

Kanye gonna do Sunday Service performance live (with broadcast?) at 9 a.m. on Easter morning at Coachella.

I am excited.

Louder...

Anyone else who still gives a fuck about Kanye ...

This shit just surfaced and I think it might be legit.

New Kevin Abstract 3-song EP is LIIIIIIIT

wait... lil xan dated riley reid?

goddammit. i'm out

Louder...

New Beyoncé live album
New Kevin Abstract 3-track single that is fire
New FlyLo teased and coming.

:eek:

The new Kevin Abstract songs are pretty cool. Ameer should make a solo album, I kinda miss hearing his voice on Brockhampton songs.

Hmm... careful where you say that.

Hey I listen to rappers who have done much worse than him.. we all do probably! His presence was definitely missed on that last album tho I understand how they couldn't continue with him.

New Schoolboy Q album is disappointing. His weakest to date..

It’s ok. Haven’t heard all of it yet, but nothing too bad about it.

Compared to his last album, I find it to be a huge step back, especially in the production department..

Did you notice that he copied DAMN with the cover art (same pose) and to a lesser extent, the theme/sound direction?

He always takes notes from Kendrick's last move.. which worked pretty well for Blank Face - the immensely talented Terrace Martin made that album sound beautiful with his live instrumentation.. but this time, Q missed the mark.

I don’t see the DAMN. similarities at all.

I heard pretty good but not immediately amazing rap music. Guess I’ll have to listen to the whole thing.

Also, people on Twitter HATE DAMN. I don’t get it. I think it’s as good as TPAB or GKMC, just in very different ways. Amazing album.

Also, I think it’s kind of a reach to say Q “copied” DAMN. just because the album covers both have figures in similar poses.

I mean...







Come on.

Also, I’m really tired of social media making decisions about the quality of albums after an hour.

It took you 8 months to realize TLOP was your favorite album of 2016, and you still consider it peerless among albums since it’s release.

I think everyone should give this shit a little more time.

Louder:

Still not hearing any “DAMN.” on “CrasH Talk,” chief.

Also Louder:

What are your thoughts on “ye” almost one year later? I’m still a fan of ITAKY, No Mistakes and Ghost Town, but the project has totally fizzled for me. I pray it’s categorized as an EP for his discography’s sake.

Should have been singles released throughout the year like GOOD Music to help promote the Wyoming Sessions.

“DAYTONA” and “Kids See Ghosts” should have been his main “albums” in 2018.

I don't know man, like I said the covers are similar to me as well as the music to an extent. The way he goes from trappy/mainstream songs to introspective "crashing" songs. Kendrick also had writing credits on like half of the songs on this. I kinda see it as a (failed) attempt to make his own DAMN.

I loved Habits & Contradictions, Oxymoron and Blank Face though.. so I'll keep listening, but so far I'm not very impressed. Meaning it's not a bad album but not on par with his previous stuff. "CrasH" is great though.

Are you interested in RZA's new soundtrack?





Just gave it a listen and it has some moments. Most of the production is ambitious and the first song is legitimately great. Ghost and Cap only have one verse though, most of the features are unfamiliar.

I’ve never been huge on ScHoolboy, so I’m not super invested. It’s fine to me. Not too bad or good. I was not impressed by Oxymoron, but I dug Blank Face. This one just seems fine, except for Chop Stix which is dumb as hell.

No, I am not interested.

I am done being trolled by the perennial promise of new Wu-Tang that doesn’t suck, and I’m done falling all over myself to get every record with a Wu name on it.

They blew it with A Better Tomorrow.
Ruined a 20-year love affair. Fuck it

Louder:

Check out “GREY Area” by Lil Simz.

British female rapper. Lit.

Looooouudderrrr...


Tyler, the Creator’s “IGOR” is HOT. Really good. Fucking way better than any of his other albums, and the least R-A-P of any of them.

Have you heard BILLY WOODS? “Hiding Places” fucking slays.

And Injury Reserve’s self titled new album is really goddamn good too.


Where ARE you, muh?

name one rapper who is a better singer than ozzy osbourne

bark at the moon!!! AAH !HAHH A!!

Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - “Bandana” is out.

This thread done died.

Lil Keed's album is out too but I will accept new Meddie Libbs.

Westside Gunn’s new album is good
Benny the Butcher’s new album is good
Where’s louder?

I am back, bro!

Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher are dope. Bandana is GREAT.

New Chance is horrible, sadly.. joins the line of subpar releases in the last few years: J.Cole - KOD, Drake - Scorpion and VIEWS, Schoolboy Q - Crash Talk, ASAP Rocky - Testing, Brockhampton - Iridescence, Eminem - whatever Eminem releases, etc.

But then we've also had a lot of dope releases that truly delivered: Kendrick - DAMN, Jay - 4:44, Travis Scott - AstroWorld, Earl - Some Rap Songs, Kanye & Cudi - Kids See Ghosts, Pusha T - DAYTONA, Noname - Room 25, and so on.

I like her!

Noname is one of the best rappers in the game right now. Rico Nasty.. Rapsody is about to drop soon.

Megan Thee Stallion has some dope singles and verses. Female rap is doing great right now.

Oddly, I still like Flower Boy more than Igor.

Billy Woods is dope. Injury Reserve album has some really great beats.

Little Brother - May the Lord Watch
Rapsody - Eve
Common - Let Love

Dope albums.

Young Thug's new shit was okay.. did y'all like it?

Looking forward to the new Ghostface next week and Kanye in a few weeks.

Eve subbed at Kanye too much. Still liked the album but Jesus.

Nervous about the new Kanye, kinda hope it doesn’t happen. Most people I know still associate him with Trump, the big fucking idiot, and “Jesus is King” is a dumbass basic bitch name for an album.

Meh.


New Danny Brown is going to slay though.

New Thug was decent
