By the way... Don't you dare fucking miss Feature Magnetic, Kool Keith's new album on MellowMusicGroup, dropping THIS FRIDAY.
Obviously Keith's still around, and I know he's still on fire —fact, last year's Time? Astonishing! was one of his best albums in ages — but he's almost completely retreated back to the underground, which is really saying something in 2016 when "the underground" barely even exists. His albums drop, get some acclaim, and fade from public memory to make room for 900th Thugger mixtape of the year. I think we need Kool Keith, or someone like him, to step up and be present during this current era of hip-hop. He was always a watchdog for the genre, keeping his sights on the stupidest elements of rap, and never being afraid to call people out for making silly shit. Maybe that's what modern rap is missing? A mouthy motherfucker with a bullshit detector and the ability to balance a fucking ridiculous sense of humor with heavy and thrilling production. Thanks for posting that SFAD. I'm gonna go listen to First Come First Served and get ready for the new alb. |

Didn't know Game had a new "soundtrack" out. I haven't even heard Streets of Compton yet.

New Common single:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8EOlLb_4ho Actually love it. Think the new album is gonna be more mellow and subtle than the last one, which is a good thing when it comes to Common of course. |

if Common gets any more mellow and subtle he will evaporate into nothingness

LOL
His last album was pretty grimey in terms of production though and I wasn't a big fan of the sound, I like Common best when he's soulful. |

Earl's "Solace" is one of the best tracks/EPs/whatever of 2015, easily. It did a better job at capturing the feeling of depression than I Don't Like Shit as a whole. A sludge rap masterpiece.

I believe you but I almost don't care. No offense. I just can't really afford to buy every album I hear is good anymore, and I'm sure this would end up on the bench after a few listens. I'm interested in 1992 though. But yo, did you catch that Kool Keith has a new album dropping in THREE DAYS? From what I've heard it's goddamn excellent, perhaps even better than Time? Astonishing! |

I bought that album, listened for a couple days, and it went on the shelf. Haven't returned to it once since then. Honestly, I like Kanye produced Common. I like Common on Kanye tracks. But I kinda don't like Common that much on his own. |
