Great, so now they have two whiny ass kids on their label.

If real good for him.
Actually like his music a lot
Wish Danny Brown would join TDE already.
Danny Brown makes so much sense, so it will never happen. Expect Asher Roth to be the next TDE member.

lol Asher Roth works at Kroger. He staying in that bread aisle tho
I can see that only because Danny and Q kinda overlap. Mac brings something different. Not better, just different.
They already got 1 white guy. What do they need 2 for? Unlike Mac, Roth barely even has an audience or any hype (like Chance). Whats the benefit?
I was joking. I have no idea what Asher is doing, but that Pabst and Jazz tape was pretty dope.
He's more like Soul and Q combined IMO. He's better than both, if we're being honest.
Danny has more connections outside of hip hop than anyone else (maybe DOOM?) and is pushing the electronic sound hard, which is luckily a popular thing. He's perfect on his label, doing what he's doing.
TDE's management is typical of successes in rap, they are tenacious and aggressive. But they give me the impression that they would restrain their artists to get there. That's just the impression I get.

Revisited this album.
So good.
So good.
Good read. Always wondered what happened to Storch, nice to hear he has recovered. The only thing is he is broke so Dre is just going to keep all his beats. Nobody else is going to fuck with him until he gets a hit, he should link up with Jay Rock, Storch's sound will suit him really well.
Not sure if posted.

I'm trying to figure out which track is going to be "I disappointed Nas". I'm guessing either "Played by The Game" or "The Message/The Money"
Excited for the Frank Ocean track though
Guys, I need your help.
I'll be going to visit America for the first time in early June, and I'll be staying in New York for a week. Is there any hip-hop related thing I shouldn't miss?
I'll be going with my girl, which basically hates hip-hop, so I probably won't be going to shows, but is there anything touristy I can easily convince her to do?

teh concept album o teh concept album.
I still haven't read an explanation as to how or why GKMC is more or less a concept album than pretty much any other rap album with consistent skits.
Governor's Ball? Oh shit, Nas and Kendrick on the same day? Fuck, I can't miss that.
It's our honeymoon, and I speak much better English than she does... That festival sounds like a plan, she'll probably like other shit there.
I remember seeing that article, but forgot about it. Thanks.

PopGAF is impenetrable. I don't even bother posting in those threads. Jesus.

Your first mistake was even clicking on Popgaf

There are whole pages devoid of any music links. -_- The first post of the first page is all that is worth viewing.

The words shade, receipts and dumb gifs are what popgaf is all about
It's great reading though except when they get all sales/numbers obsessed. I guess that's the point of pop music but I'd rather argue about who makes more enjoyable music.
Plus there's tons of great reaction gifs.
I'm guessing this was supposed to be an image of pac's dick, but I'm not willing to click the link manually to find out. But welcome back regardless fam.
You mean besides almost every damn track being part of the narrative? Other than that, I have NO IDEA.

It's good to be back, but I gotta say shit's been weak brehs. I saw J Cole's struggle cover and just gave up on his album. It's like he's been watching all the illuminati obsession and decided "hey, I can just do something like that too!" Stop following, Jermaine, god damn.
I was initially excited when I saw Kanye projecting nubian beauty on museums, JC Pennies, libraries, and other buildings of western oppression. But then I heard the song and I'm like...eh? Ninja thinks he's Spice-1 now? It's quite different from the typical "fuck white people" militant stuff. Kanye seems legit butthurt over the "white power structure" that runs music, entertainment, etc. To him, losing to Taylor Swift was a sign that white people run shit and he's just a black man - whereas everyone else looked at that and thought "who fucking cares."
Basically he likes white people but he doesn't like The Man, who is stealing Grammys and MTV Video awards from him. He couldn't care less about the prison industrial complex or Trayvon Martin, but whoever ghostwrites for him throws that shit in alongside the MTV/radio/Grammys/etc griping.
I've never witnessed someone with such thick skin, who pretends like he "doesn't give a shit." If you don't give a shit stop complaining, chipmunk muthafucka

I'm with you PD, but libraries are a sign of Western oppression? The only source of free education in urban areas and a concept invented by Africans?

Again, white people love Kanye. It had to do with America's sweetheart, no doubt, but more about a 30+ year old acting like an asshole to teenage girl. People are protective about girls. It it had Justin Beiber instead, nobody would've given a shit.

i just don't have that much faith in America when it comes to matters of race, even w/ a black president shit aint really got better. it's just morphed into different forms. like i said, i'm too cynical.

So you think the reaction wouldn't have been different if it had been Bieber? I don't doubt that a very, very small portion of people don't like Kanye because he's black, but he's not exactly Marcus Garvey. He's a guy who made songs with Lady Gaga, Adam Levine, Daft Punk and Fergie.
Pretty sure even the KKK likes College Dropout.
