Did you guys know John Legend played the piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything"? Juan Ep can be such a great podcast.

 

Nothing Peter Rosenberg does is great imo

 

A Tribe Called Quest: We got it from Here... Thank You 4 Your service Album Review | Pitchfork

"A decade and a half ago, while working on his (erroneously shelved, then belatedly released) sophomore album Kamaal the Abstract, Q-Tip was asked about grown men making hip-hop music—he had, after all, just entered his thirties and was still playing at what is largely a young person’s game. He countered that hip-hop was not solely a youth genre; that the media and commercial forces had made it so; that the top MC of the moment—Jay Z—was in his thirties; that the best art comes not from the exuberance of youth, but the mastery of form. We got it from Here proves that he was right."

Oh and for those who missed it: Mr. 3-2 of the Screwed Up Click, the Convicts, the Southside Playaz and Blac Monks was murdered a few days ago.

Cool Kids back

 

Nice. I used to bump Bake Sale all the time. Wasn't as into When Fish Ride Bicycles.

 

ehhhh its not too bad but i hate the hook

 

That Lupe song is interesting in concept, but I didn't care for the song itself. Still hopeful for the albums, though.

 

I remember hearing gold and a pager in my middle school English class and that's all The Cool Kids music I know.

"Justin Carroll-Allan breaks down the criminally underrated career of Bay Area legend, Andre Nickatina".

If you don't know, now you know.

 

That song is great. "I see Ciara [see error] in your ways, ain't no future with it"

 

Yikes. Idk man that's a really terrible line imo and his verse was wack.

 

Everything I hate about ab soul encapsulated in one line

 

I never really listened to him, I think he's boring. I've always liked Rapsody though.

 

One time he kicked it then scored - soccer game.

 

If anyone asked me to summarize you by showing them one post it'd be this one

 

It's great that posting Rapsody's free EP full of great 9th Wonder beats leads to nothing except comments regarding the merrits of one of her guests

 

Steer the conversation in a different direction then don't complain

 

Rapsody is pretty cool I just don't have much time to listen
