I can only assume that it didn’t get much exposure due to some viewing it as a cash in? I don’t think anyone expected it to be as good as it is.

 

The single with J Cole got a lot of attention but the album kind of slipped through the cracks

 

New MIKE track
Listen Now: MIKE via Adult Swim Singles

Durk x Polo G

 

So this is fun, Anderson Paak has a festival this weekend and just announced the lineup.... but everyone is code names. The first person in the comment section to get it all right seemingly gets tickets. I figured out a few of them, have fun:

 

Worthwhile read, pretty crazy/interesting saga all around

The XXXTentacion Documentary That Never Was

 

Finally listening to Netflix & Deal. How Greedo been locked up for two years and still drop the hottest tapes every year tho??

 

Yellowcard lawsuit against Juice WRLD on pause after rapper’s death

 

Just drop it

 

I honestly don't really hear the similarities in songs anyway.

 

It should have never been filed in the first place.

 

bad lawsuit when it was made, worse now.

 

Guessing:

The Game
YBN Cordae
Kali Uchis
This one's hard... maybe ScHoolboy Q? It's "blue class" in Spanish and he's a crip
Freddie Gibbs?
Jay Rock?
Princess Nokia?
Thundercat
Kamasi Washington?
Snoop Dogg
Mereba
Rico Nasty & Kenny Beats? I honestly don't have a good guess for this one

 

I think you're pretty right on most, especially seeing comments on the post

 

Looks like there's new slowthai on the Danny Brown GTA thing too

 

Danny Brown is in the game too. I mean, he’s already voiced a lifeguard in single player when it first came out, but now he’s himself. Amazing.

 

No posts about the Clipse reunion? Damn lol

Anyway, if they decide to make music I’m somewhat skeptical, but I think no malice can integrate the religious influence in a really interesting way if done right

 

Late contender for your album of the year lists. Nice and chilled hip hop/grime rooted firmly in the UK. Murkage Dave is fucking great on it (as he always is) and the beats are almost Mike Skinner-like. Definitely some garage vibes in there too.

 

New Uzi fucking rules

 

New Stormzy isn't hitting like GSAP after first listen. Think the songs I like more were all the pre-album announcement singles.

 

I think it is decent. Really like Lessons, Rachaels Brother and Handsome. Only song I can't stand is Pop Boy. Mainly cause Aitch has a really irritating voice.

 

I actually like that one haha. It's definitely a solid album but it feels a lot less immediate. Hope I open up to it more with time.

 

New Cam track is good.

 

What? When did this happen?

Anyway, plenty of "regular rappers" have made overtly religious music throughout their career, and nobody labelled them "Christian rappers" or "Muslim rappers" or "Five Percent Nation rappers", or wondered if they could properly integrate religion into their music. I always think this whole religious rap discussion is a little odd.

 

it's for Pharrell's festival next year

I'm not outright against it but I think they'd both have to give each other a little leeway in terms of subject matter because hearing songs that are half religious and half numerous metaphors for dealing coke would feel a bit disconnected
