New Westside Gunn is aight, but definitely messy (not unlike Conway's solo record from this year) and I think we gotta start barring people from putting out albums over 15 tracks/one hour lol. Doesn't touch Paris or 10.

 

I’m like 16 songs into and then you pray for me and this absolutely does not hit like pray for Paris

it’s just kinda all over the place

 

Have you listened to the earlier Queen Latifah records? If not, those are worth checking out. Black Reign is not on Spotify though it seems.

Same for MC Lyte really.

The Lady Of Rage’s album, Necessary Roughness, is slept on too.

 

I have never seen this

Tag team rapping is beautiful

 

“It’s not that all new music is bad. It’s not that, at least in my circles, we’re all staring at each other and wondering where the love went. There’s a goldmine of indie rap to cherish. It’s not even that my tastes are shifting and the growing pains are too great to bear. It’s that every day I am distracted by something else, by a debilitating anxiety that something just isn’t right, and I can’t sink in and scuttle through the dizzying loops and melodies of this album or that album. It’s hard to put it into words, but it looms.”

“I don’t know if music was “better then” or if it’s “worse now,” but I do know that digital media has atrophied my brain and the past has basically every answer you could imagine.”

This is good. Been feeling like this too.

 

I hate people

 

Wow I'm glad that my show actually had a pretty great crowd then

 

Propeller hats? What? Why?

Actually, I don’t want to know, I’ll just get depressed.

 

This is a pretty funny way to use AI

 

Finally listened to MIKE and my word. Amazing.

 

Kinda random, but that company that makes those little air fresheners that look like turntables with records spinning on them is going out of business and are slinging at low prices. Posting in here since the majority of the records you can choose from are hip hop

rip DJ Mark the 45 King

 

Damn. R.I.P.

 

I'll listen, their last one was fine enough I think

 

I'm excited for a new 2 Chainz fix

 

just saw wiki 65 floors above nyc in the rainbow room

 

Feeling the Kanye-sized hole in my heart today. Are theyre any clear picks regarding his successor - someone with the heart and soul of those first three albums, socially conscious, a little goofy, strong production? Those albums used to feel like pure joy and sunshine to me, but I don't know if I'll ever listen to them again. Looking for recs aside from the obvious big ones (Chance, Cudi, Tyler).

 

Wiki?

Also listen to Little Brother’s discography if you haven’t.

 

Listen to anything Phonte related tbh

 

Agreed
