I'm super stoked about the new Freddie Gibbs release. Really, I am. I expect it to be incredible.
But to be honest, I am kinda losing interest in 2015. I mean, we've been waiting for Kanye and Frank Ocean for a goddamn eternity at this point. It's been 14 months since Ye said album #7 could be dropping (sept, 2014... Or "as early as" Sept, 2014.. remember that?)
I'm just totally over the year at this point, because it's pretty obvious that he's not going to put jack shit out in 2015, so let's move the fuck on.
There have been a number of great albums this year, but I just feel a bit burnt out on everything. I know what I want to see... I want to see new Kanye, new Frank Ocean, new Black Bug, a new studio album by DJ Koze, and I'm starting to itch for some new Spiritualized and Flaming Lips. I don't give a fuck about the records making headlines... I don't care about Disclosure or Adele and I'm dead sick of Taylor Swift.
I'm pretty sure almost all of my favorite albums are going to be from the first half of the year. So I'm just ready for something exciting and different to come out of the woodwork.
It's a bit anticlimactic to look back at the year and realize that Kendrick and Hudson Mohawke and Jim O'Rourke really were the high points. Later released by Botany and Oneohtrix Point Never are definitely high points as well, but for the most part TPAB really was the year's biggest and most important release and it's damn near a year old. Practically 2014.
Bring on the new year. Screw Drake V. Meek Mill and Young Thug (really sick of hearing about that punk at this point- genius my ass)
None of this is Freddie's fault though. I'm just bored with shit.
