man those blurred out faces are really fucking unsettling. ruins the video imo
personally, the reason i hate rapping drake is his weird accent that he puts on these days. on his older shit when he sounded more like himself, he sounded great. now its got some weird twanging lil wayny whatever the fuck hes doing and its really annoying.
shit like november 18th, fear, barry bonds freestyle, the calm, the winner, hell even on forever he was like "normal". that twangy shit is very off putting.
also, am i the only one who thinks "crooner" sounds negative? i always thought it was a mocking way to say singing or something
Welcome back. And what a way to return!
*dead*
Q's Funkmaster Flex freestyles are hot. Also, Tip makes G.O.O.D. music team even stronger. That's a massive pick up, even if it's just Ye wanting to help artists he admires like Common and Pusha. If anything, you can't deny the production stable at G.O.O.D. is working up to something strong, and hopefully a bit more diverse.
I don't like the single choices for this album, mostly the Missy song. But I love this video, the song is fantastic too. Not one I come back to often, but great regardless.

I thought this song was fucking horrible.. what do you like about it?
a crooner to me a someone that sings emotional, sappy, etc. songs. I guess that's pretty textbook though and may have a negative meaning that I'm not aware of.
Really? I especially love that Missy song, beat is awesome and I've always been a big fan of hers. Well at least of her first album, she or rather her music got a bit weird after that.
Has he released the Drake song as single yet? Cause if not I don't really understand why not.
Oh btw..I could swear that the chorus on Nobody's Perfect is sung by 'The Dream' yet he's not credited or am I just imagining things..

super late on this but that hodgy tape has some great production. didnt really give it a chance before cause of the OF affiliation but its got some good shit
oh yeah, i know, i just felt that it sounds more like slang than a real word or something. it just sounds like something negative

That song was on FNL? Didn't even know that. Still should've waited til the album was out.
Ha! Listened to it for the first time today on my way home from work and have to agree, dude also is pretty nice on the mic.

Cole's singles flopping should be a red flag, but he seems arrogant enough to blame it on lack of push from the label. Yes, I was wrong about Work Out - it turned into a big hit. But the following singles have gone nowhere, including the Trey Songz one that sounded like a summer anthem to me.
I'm not sure Cole can replicate the success of his first album again by himself. It's time for him to realize he's not that good of a producer, and getting a big name producer to help out a bit isn't an admission of weakness. I'm not saying he should blow his budget on the biggest name, but it's time to work with people who can give his stuff a fuller sound. Sideline Story sounds so...empty and sparse especially when compared to the lush production on Take Care.
I think Cole - and KRIT - seem to have this weird mentality where they feel they're smarter and better than everyone, and therefore don't need help. Both constantly talk about graduating/being smart and it's like duuuude, chill. At least KRIT is a legit producer who has made some incredible stuff. Cole isn't bad obviously, but whereas KRIT's style translates to albums well I don't think Cole's production does.
If Cole wants to just be that guy who sells 300-500k records and tours the world a couple times, he'll keep his current "can't tell me nothing" attitude. If he wants to reach his max potential he'll start branching out. I'd love for Just Blaze to executive produce his next album. Not to fill it with Just Blaze beats, but to hone the sound and make it sound like an actual album.

Chill Bump - Back to the Grain
http://chillbump.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-the-grain
*If you were to take Yela and marry him off to a producer that he was down with on an almost telepathic level, you'd get Chill Bump, no joke. The synergy on this tape is one for the books. Do. Not. Sleep.
--Don't sleep on their previous tape either, Starting from Scratch.

*Alt-Soul, like Janelle Monae or even Dessa, and just as fantastic, if not a bit tighter. Don't sleep.
Chief Keef - Back from the Dead
http://www.datpiff.com/Chief-Keef-Back-From-The-Dead-mixtape.324584.html
*Easily the most ignorant shit I've heard this year--Hell, almost in the last two years, but infectious as fuck. And word: the beats do knock. That's that shit I do like.
I mean, just hear this shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WcRXJ4piHg
First thing I thought too, WTF? Song is good though.
B.o.B, Both of Us Feat. Taylor Swift
This song will be fucking huge. I honestly like it too. I just know it will be played so much I will eventually hate it.

Shit is gonna be like Airplanes x10.
Not really. It's gonna be huge, but Airplanes sounded like a bigger hit when I first heard it compared to this. Beat ain't clean enough IMO.
Airplanes, Pt. 2 and Empire State of Mind are fantastic songs that I'll never listen to again. A shame.
Mmh I dunno, the beat is imho not poppy enough (except the chorus and that godawful acoustic guitar).
But dudes gonna sell more than enough thanks to that other song on the radio I heard today..forget what it was called but it sounded a bit like that song about chicks form his last record.
Taylor Swift factor man. Im not saying it is a better song, but the Swift factor is gonna drive this to a huge hit.
This shit is barely a step above a black eyed peas song.
Black eyed peas always remind me how promising will.I.am was before he got knee deep into autotuned electro club music. I liked some of his early stuff but his stuff now is just ear bleeding.
Can't say I hate that b.o.b song, but after I hear it 1000 times I'm gonna loathe it.
Is anybody else extremely surprised B.o.b and Hayley haven't done another song together? The amount of money another collab could get for them must be tempting.
He knows better than to do that and make it obvious he's whoring that avenue out.
So he's doing one better by following the same popular female singer + rap formula as before. We'll see how long he can keep up this schtick before he's forced to do something different. The Taylor Swift thing will help his image more than it will his wallet.
Also: Joe Moses ft. Game & Snoop Dogg - I Do It For The Ratchets (Remix)

The physical form of blasphemy
After the twitter fuckery that went down, I'm surprised Prodigy decided to release a song called, "Gangsta Love" like a day after.
Beat carries it hard, but I don't know about that. It's up there though; it's either There He Go/Hands on The Wheel/Druggys With Hoes Again or I'm On or The Alarm. Or Theraflu.
Video of the ScHoolboy Q Funkmaster Flex freestyles. I really fuck with real freestyles, and have mad respect for rappers who do them.

my favorite track of 2012 so far is probably Sacreligious

Honestly, the Big Sean verse adds a a lot to the vibe of Mercy. I really think it'd be a worse song if he tried to go super lyrical with that shit or if it was removed entirely. The Kanye verse isn't really savageable, and the beat switch ruins the vibe. The only good part about the Kanye bit is the transition back into 2Chainz.
Now we out in Paris, yeah I'm perrierin'. White girls politickin', that's that Sarah Palin.
