What's wrong with Cocaine 80s?!
Oldschoolgamer
The physical form of blasphemy
Just Blaze, Clams Casino, and James Blake doing production? I'm there. Drizzy should get Blake's cinematographers to shoot a video for him.
boring. pretty damn boring.
Nothing at all. Wish they would put out an actual full length project.

Please list some of you fave new RnB, and if Frank Ocean is on that list, then dont bother posting.
Did you listen to Channel Or...zzzzzzzzzz
i think this sums things up nicely.
This is really promising.
Cocaine80s aren't boring. They do some different shit, and stand out far more than the boxes The-Dream and Weeknd put themselves in. Ocean too, but it's becoming increasingly evident for him that nostalgia.ULTRA was a rare stroke of unreproducible genius.
Is that similar to the Enzo rule?
Also, that Drake track list is super fake. Which is disappointing.
You really hate acoustic guitars?
No. I just think they have them to sound different, not to make the songs better.
Look at how well they are used on The Uncluded.
Ditto, but Frank Ocean can be just as boring.
Drake's father.
this is better than anything off Channel Orange (except Pyramids)

this shit is kinda boring tbh. I must have missed a Cocaine 80s ep along the lines or something
Too bad his snooze worthy production dragged his words down.

Thumbs up.
so well written that after I finish listening I remember nothing from what I just heard. there are like 3 songs where the hooks are distinguishable from the verses

I knew someone out there was going to share the love
I'll be honest, I can't find the will to listen to Mac right now. I'll give his album a listen, but going out of my way to listen to singles? I can't do it.

Drake's track list is more interesting than anything Cole has done in a year. Really highlights the problem of being a producer rapper when you're not that great of a producer. Maybe this album failing to go gold is what it'll take to convince Cole that being a member of "the industry" isn't bad. Doing guest verses, showing up to politic at music awards shows, hooking up with producers for sessions, randomly releasing songs, keeping your name on people's lips etc all matter.
Derrick G imposter I guess?
Something something broken record something go look at Tupac pictures.

i'll be absolutely shocked if Cole doesn't go gold w/ all them r&b features. Power Trip caught on real well.
Statements I never thought I'd see in GAF hop. I haven't heard any of Mac's stuff since like... KIDS and Best Day Ever so I don't have a high opinion of him, but I trust you guys. I'll prolly check it out when its released.
His lyrics are boring as shit, but I can groove to his production all day. I'd love an Instrumental record from him. Perfect smoking music.
It pains me to agree, but yea. Dude has been leveling up, he isn't going to go Super Saiyan, but he's like Krillin when he learned to use Destructo Disc. It's all that time he's been spending with the TDE crew.
I can think about 100 better albums for smoking. I aint trying to fall asleep while a lit blunt is in my hand.
I don't remember Mac Miller's first album too well, but I thought it was terrible.
Just to jump back to rnb for a sec, I feel my problem with The Weekend is that he has too much of a hip hop mindset. You could say the same about Drake, but he doesn't act like he doesn't. Ocean is all about lost love and shit that has true emotion and Miguel has some truly sexy music. Which is where RnB truly shines. The Weekend is about regretting sex and drugs, hip hop problems.
Ocean does have a hip hop vocabulary, though.

I just...nope.
I didn't say it'd be the greatest smoking album, but I would definitely enjoy it while it was on.
