Read Wayne's comment...

This is some funny shit, surprisingly tame lol, but I can relate, since I'm not a fan myself.

Frank Ocean's album Channel Orange is coming out July 17th, wha-whaaat.

 

[hubes]

Sooooooooo this Oddisee album is really good. Production is so lush. Really came out of nowhere for me.

yeah i've never listened to dude before, but i love it.

There is zero hype. It's going to get delayed until they can generate some.

The preview track is good though:

I was getting ready to talk shit but first track is dope. Will check out the rest later. Might even be worth the $10 dollars.

It's actually listenable.

In light of Ye's birthday, I think I'll rerank his albums.
CD >>>> LR/G/808s > MBDTF > WTT

I still enjoy parts of WTT though. And it's not that the other albums are so much worse compared to College Dropout I just like it sooooo much more. As for the three way tie, they're like that because I can't rank them consistently, perhaps Late Registration is somedays ahead of the others, somedays Graduation, and even 808s and Heartbreak at times feels ahead of the others. I think that's what makes a great catalogue though, having some level of parity, in a good way.

"808s & Heartbreak" is Kanye Omari West's best album.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Graduation is much better than MBDTF/WTT. Good Life and Flashing Lights are top tier Kanye , even Stronger was decent. MBTDF was Kanye wankery at it's worst. WTT was just dissapointing.

Big K.R.I.T.'s "Live from the Underground" is a great album.

 

[Esch]

Big K.R.I.T.'s "Live from the Underground" is a great album.

Got my CD copy and I was listening to it in the car today. Obviously i was enjoying that shit a little more. It has great moments for sure, the beats are mostly dope as fuck.... But i gotta say KRIT really needs the subject matter change. i hear him reusing all sorts of imagery and words and concepts over and over again. And i dont think he's charismatic enough of an emcee to get away with that shit.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I guess I'm just not suffering KRIT fatigue like everyone else. I didn't like his last tape, and I was never a big fan of Wuz Here but R4 and this are great.

 

[Esch]

I think I'm just really worn out hearing rappers talk about being on their grind. Fuck man, I get it. You're trying to get paid. You're young.

I dont wanna always hear about work in my entertainment, just because its relateable doesn't mean I care. Motherfucker me and everyone else does work too. I wanna do YOUR work where you make music and perform and shit. What about the grimy mugs cleaning bathrooms and shit? THEY are grindin.

hell even Oddisee gave me more subject matter this year then most of these repetitive ass unoriginal rappers.

 

[PhoenixDark]

This is like the first time I've been on completely different ends of the spectrum as Toku, feels bad man. I thought KRIT's mixtape from earlier this year was his strongest by far, while I didn't like LFTU at all. The production is solid...but not really anything that blows me away. And as EschatonDX said, lyrically it's like a remix of his old stuff

"hey guys I got me a sub!"
"ridin around in my Cadillac, you bitch staring!"
"oh man, I need to get my act together yo"
"My girl trippin"

KRIT needs to just pull a Ray Charles and just jump into another genre yo. Like, do some country-trap or something, anything to breath some life into his stuff. I'm sure his mixtapes will continue to be dope due to not having sample limitations, but I'm not optimistic about his future as a major label artist

 

[Tokubetsu]

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is godtier KRIT though.

 

[Esch]

LFTU is just missing that big jump up. The next level. That moment when you're like yeah im a fan of this underground rapper to gawd status.

More importantly than that its time to stop cribbing off and deferring so much to the southern legends in spirit and in music... I want KRIT to make music that sounds less like tribute music. His beats are almost there to being a 'next step'. they just need... something. i dunno.

he could also severely use an emcee to marry his beats to Gang Starr style. That shit would be the piffest piff


edit: to be honest im down for some hoosier ass rap, some real ignorant ass where the fuck is my banjo shit

 

[PhoenixDark]

Oh yea, I agree with this

There is zero hype

I'm not surprised. The half-assed way they're going about dealing with Ocean - no different than it pre Nostalgia Ultra, I guess.

How are you going to film the video for No Church in The Wild, the biggest buzz-building FT. he's done, and leave his name off the title card completely. Fuck that high-brow 'The Throne' BS Kanye and HOV tell each other during their trysts. You give credit where credit is due.

Many I've heard think it's Kanye singing.
