No, she's the worst. I know there's a full list to be made about popular artist that are really bad, but she's on top.

Haha wtf are you going on about?
Seriously, it is amazing. Nujabes is the only artist that's really ever evoked a deep emotional response from me when listening to him.

Raekwon's dropping a mixtape on Christmas apparently:

Awesome, Raekwon's been on top of his shit for the last year or two.
DJ Quik last nite!!!!
cold ass nite in LA, my thin coat aint cutting it, yet when u walk upstairs into this club it's so freakin packed and hot that it's as if Quik literally turned the temperature up.
becoz he's hot!
dood freakin killed his set! not only was it waaaaaay better than Premier/Pete Rock's, but the dood's local so he's bringin freakin VINYL up in that bitch instead of serato.
and he knew how to scratch them too!!
I was up in that place with my new iphone too but didnt take any video. Fortunately, others had theirs so sum stuff is definitely creepin its way onto youtube.

Spiritual State is pretty nice. A solid album but honestly I find Nujabes' style boring after a while. His style is already all flowery and makes me wanna frolic in a meadow but when he throws rappers onto his songs talkin about YO WE GOTTA NURTURE THE KIDS AND SAVE THE WHALES it makes me just roll my eyes.
you have a heart of ice and shadow

Don't get me wrong I like my music sugary and flowery just as much as the next backpacker but I have a limit. And my musical tastes tend to lean towards the darker side of human nature.
I like the album, its just that I can only take so much sunshine and rainbows.
At least the rappers are rapping about something other than bitches, weed, and money.

I went back to that Cocaine 80s and got to that last track "anywhere but here" and I was thinkin this beginning sounds really damn familiar.... so I google'd and here's what came up
Shit surprised the hell out of me. Did anyone else notice this?

Its on my list to listen to next. Finally getting around to this new Wale album.
It is my second favorite album this year.
it's great. it's in my top 3 with oneirology and section 80.
yeah it put me to sleep. just like everything post-Phrenology from them.

Just heard this ASAP Rocky mixtape, smoooooooooooooth
Guess I missed it, my bad fam <3
Most of them fucking suck. I thought this was commonly agreed upon.
theyre not great, but i really like the voices of a couple of them like Pase and Substantial.
you listened to spaceghostpurrp? because if not go listen now.

definitely the two standout MCs for me too. this is prolly my favorite substantial track though, this one's my favorite feature.
also, i can't think of too many rappers would've gone well over his stuff, but CL felt like a perfect fit.

i don't recall ever agreeing to this, then again i never listened to them to begin with.

Since Chico & The Man was announced in 2003 I have overseen 16 different releasesproducing and mixing them in full, rapping on some, even mastering them and doing all of the graphic design for them in some cases. Ive reluctantly taken beats from Chico & The Man and placed them elsewhere during this process (Things I Dream, The Gates, Embers, etc.) for the sake of putting out the best quality music for the fans. Hell, at the risk of sounding melodramatic Ive watched my dedication to music crush personal relationships and allow my health to crumble as I, like you, have waited for this album to come to fruition. Music is what I love, this is what I do for a living and when it comes to delivering for our fans I dont **** aroundmy output reflects it.
I want this album to exist in your world as much as you do, but I refuse to allow something that I could eventually be the most proud of to A: become the bane of my existence in a pit of regret and B: not get heard by as many people as possible while it mires in some dark, dusty corner of iTunes.
That is why Chico & The Man will not be dropping in December and from this point forward wont even be discussed or have questions about it entertained until I hold a finished product in my hand that I am 100% happy with. December release was contingent on it being unceremoniously dropped digitally on iTunes and Bandcamp just for the sake of getting the monkey off of our backs, but after sitting with the record I simply cant have that happen now. Tonedeff is one of my best friends and I have no intention on throwing him under the busbut I waited patiently while the brilliant writing on this record got to marinate, grow and take shape over the course of nearly 6 years and I feel it is simply unfair for the mixing & promotion process to be granted a few months, especially with such great distribution and promo opportunities on the table that wed have to pass on otherwise. Even Matt Hobbs had nearly 2 years to work on the video for 1000 ShipsI feel that the rest of these things deserve more than 2 months. You deserve it. The album deserves it. Our fans have shown a level of dedication to a record that only existed in theory that I truly appreciateI want it to be available outside of the internet, I want it to be available on vinyl, I want you to actually hear about it outside of QN5.com.
A little while before the release date was announced I was about as close as you can come to just scrapping the entire project out of sheer frustration and resentmentI was tired of talking about it on tour, tired of making excuses for it, tired of it stressing me out, tired of the strain it was putting on my friendship with Tone but most of all I was tired of sitting on this awesome thing and feeling completely handcuffed. Reconciling my creative process with Tones hasnt been easy, but I realize now that people do need to hear it and it has to be given the care & effort that 8 years of work deserves. No more clues, no more teasers, no more questions, no more anything until I am happy with not only the finished product but also the distribution, promotion and reach in place to make sure everyone who should hear it does hear it.
I know that I have deferred all questions and comments about this album to Tonedeff for the past 3-4 years, but the record is in my hands now and the decision to push it is mine and mine alone. Ive only had two release dates pushed back everAPOS thanks to a label snafu and Death Is Silent due to Souljah Boyand both irritated the **** out of me, but this is the best move here and it simply has to be done. Hopefully the 3 albums Ive dropped in the past 12 months can tide you over a little bit longertheyre pretty dope, too.
Thanks
