Milo album is really cool

Now it's a 90s Bad Boy song

 

The replies to this are already pretty great

 

I mean I get it but the Times music critics are usually better at writing/talking about rap records than most

 

This Milo album is everything this thread promised and more. I'm still on my first listen but he name checked Zadie Smith, Nabokov, Jay Z and Thelonious already so basically he reads and listens to the same shit I do?? So great

 

Happy Birthday Basedgod!

 

Black Ken is great so far tybg

Is Black Ken a good starting point for Lil B?

I've been sleeping on him for too long.

 

I'd just google a best of list

 

Yeah, I guess he's just got so much material that the gems are probably a little more spread out rather than all on one release...

 

Gods father is a good entry point imo. Maybe that or I'm Gay

 

Just copped tickets to see Noname in November. Kinda broke right now, but I couldn't risk it selling out.

 

Did anyone post about the new Ferg project out today? It's not bad.

 

This Mozzy album is great

 

Takeoff's verse on the new Gucci is fucking amazing,

Nicki's on the other hand...

 

It's consistently good the entire tape. My favorite Ferg project since Trap Lord

 

Ferg album was good but I also liked his last stuff. I think he's a talented dude who can rock a couple diff sounds but people only want Trap Lord ferg

 

Oh yeah I've actually liked all of his projects, I thought Strive got way too much hate

I'm glad he's still doing well.

 

For those of you with the occasional interest in non-English rap music, here are three song I like righ now and I feel could be interesting for some of you despite language barriers:

This currently one of the biggest songs (and the album it is from is killing too) in the Netherlands, where I live. I personally love it too and I feel like it can be enjoyed without understanding the language, because it's much more about the vibe than the lyrics. The again, I speak it, so I can't guarantee it. I feel like I would enjoy it in French too though, haha. The girl usually mostly sings in English (she's half American so it makes sense, but it's too bad because she shines in Dutch), in case anyone is interested in hearing more.

I also currently like this one, from Germany. It's by a newly formed group that includes Megaloh, one of my favorite German rappers. The point of the group is to celebrate the sounds of the African and Caribbean diaspora (which is a reoccurring thing in a lot of European rap and has been for a while, before it exploded in the US). Unlike some others, they are really good at it.

And then there is this guy, who's currently making big waves in Italian rap (which hasn't always been as commercially consistent as other scenes) and the Italian music industry. This isn't his newest song, but it's good.

 

So Drake's shooter's single is actually kinda hard
