Kendrick explains why Black Hippy is successful. how it avoids falling out.
Great investigative piece about what DONDA is really, and WTF Kanye really plans to do with it. Thinking of making a thread about this.
Big Sean thinks the Control responses are funny, Karen Civil also probes about the state of G.O.O.D. music after so many departures, etc.

Made a thread about the DONDA thing.
I wonder how he feels about the Jobs movie, considering he worships Steve Jobs but again met with Woz who hates it.

what are the odds your thread turns into another "but fuck kanye west" thread.
Songs I fuck with off of HOF:
Mula Remix, MILF, Toyota Music, You Don't Know, Sierra Leone/Greedy Ho's, Switch Up, and Guap.
So on the Esch scale that's 7/17 out of the actual songs on the album, which is not even close to passing.
HOF is a 2.5 mic album for me if I'm being generous, but I can see how people that like MCHG might like this...I mean at least Sean stays on beat the whole time, but it sounds like a Graduation b-side at times when the momentum is just being built. Also many of the choruses are awful and some of the features seem kind of out of place i.e. Kid Cudi on First Chain and Miguel on Ashley.

Maccas got that shit on lock. Not controversial/sensationalist etc. enough of a title to make people even bother to post though.
ain worry bou nun
I think the only Miguel collaboration with another artist I've cared for is Power Trip. Even the Kendrick one was bleh.
Same. I like Fire, the fruity song with Ellie Goulding, World Ablaze, and Mona Lisa enough.
no substance, but should be sick in the car. I'm excited to bump Toyota music on the way to work tomorrow lol
Dude, that's awesome. bitches everywhere wanna fuck Miguel.
Shame, the only famous person i look like is Erik Estrada. If I was born in the 60's you best believe i'd be on that.
didnt know about that feature...........................................
dl. 22 minute download. fuck you internet.
Fire. That hook is silly.

I liked it, definitely wasn't what I expected based off the synopsis. Might remind you of the Thomas Covenant books.
Interesting. Seems like a big source of inspiration for the Rand al'Thor character from Wheel of Time (scust). I used to be a big fantasy reader in HS but I stopped. I figure this is a good time to go back and check out the classics of the genre that I missed.
I feel like Tokubetsu would love the Elric/Moorcock stuff.

As if Big Sean is proper rap car music when driving to a post-apocalyptic city.
Put some U-God on or something.
You don't fuck with HoF?
also:
That line is damn good too. I can appreciate it.
More disappointed than anything. A lot of great songs but an overabundance of okay or almost there songs for the most part. Maybe my mind will change as I listen to it more though. My favourite songs are still the ones released as singles.
Maybe I just have a witch mark on me after listening to Freaky.

i love it, its up there with watchin chicks run to the floor in the day to Luda's "you's a ho" shit like GURL THATS MY JAM
ASAP strikes me as that dude that someone asks that shit in an interview and he's like "uhh.....yeah, yeah, haha you know how i do"
like the rap game soul glo dude trynna act like he put that money in the plate "for the kids"
didn't know about them fucking with Lotus, that's cool though. i wanted to like no idols more than i did, based off the cover but it aint happen. i totally get what you're saying about these dudes kinda moving past Tyler and his Loiter Squad life
see i ain't fuckin with HOF much but that's the impression id go in with
son my shit is so low tech i got this CD player and i wish it was a tape deck just for that old school ipod plugin i couldve used here, now im drivin with one earbud in just to hear shit on my cheap-ass headphones, weak like clock radio speakers
i wanna agree with this but there's gotta be like 5 dudes right now he'd have to fight to get that title, that lane feels cramped lately
damn, don't know if id take it that far but there's truth here; everyone i knew/saw on lupe back then coudln't namedrop him without "HIP HOP SAVIOR" right after that like they were waiting for him to fulfill some prophecy and shit
you know i can fuck with referencing comics/anime and shit and not at all call that corny (fuck Wu did it tons) but he'd do it in a corny manner ever since i heard him jump on ye's Touch the Sky
stahp
lookit dude try to put that on Ye instead of own that mess

yeah, i was a victim of that for sure, couldn't push past it. don't get me wrong, i remember running stairs in like '08 or '09 or whenever i got around to it & had The Cool and Food & Liquor on rotation and i dug em, and i got what esha was sayin: if you were that hip hop head like that kid you were arguing with in that thread the other day (on about real hip hop and how shit has to have a message etc) this was a huge breath of fresh air amongst the radio wave of crunk/candypaint drippin off the chrome/crawlin like a caterpillah type shit that was blowin up sometime around then. i mean, i got into blackstar & that last wave of native tongue type shit in early 2000's when i wasn't trynna hear no limit/dipset/etc type shit either, so i fell for that shit once too.
i think it's a phase you're supposed to move past, and if you can still revisit that sound & dig it that's cool too. i can still bump reflection eternal, black on both sides, quality etc like those first 2 lupe ones here & there, but i damn sure can't go past that limit on any of these artists cause it just spirals downward when it feels like they ran out of shit to say.

There's some validity to Lupe corn comments. He does tend to pick lackluster beats, he sacrifices rhythm and flows at times to awkwardly jam double entendres or metaphors in his verses. He can sometimes come off as though he thinks he's smarter than the room more often than I think he can even comprehend.
That said, I still think he never reached his potential and doubt he ever will.

People highlight his first two studio albums but his tapes he released, specifically the Fahrenheit 1st and 15th series, were pretty solid too. It was the typical beat jack mixtapes but they're still enjoyable and I go back to them every once in a while.
Oh and that reminds me, I was going to reply with a damn essay to that moron but it wasn't worth the effort.

umm lmao. that will be true if ferg puts out another project on par with trap lord (or better). really dope project but some of the tracks without features (except for let it go and hood pope) kind of bog it down.
also @Toku: I agree with you on odd future. if it wasn't for nostalgia ultra or channel orange then domo genesis' no idols would be the best project of the crew

kinda funny that I'm revisiting channel orange right now (with a little too much wine, sorry). album still owns and is one of my favorites from last year...
but yeah, OF is such an interesting group. Like there's talent to make such an off the wall posse cut record but they're so immature and successful the way they are, that they don't need to do it. In a few years when they've settled down and their shtick isn't working for them, I'd love to see some select members of the group come together and really spit some serious, hard hitting stuff. For now, I'm only really following frank & earl. They are the only two who have something interesting to say in my book.
I mean my only major prob with doris is that he needs to expand his territory in terms of content. a song like chum is insanely personal and strange and lovely in a weird way, and so far ahead the other tracks that has him talking about his 10th dank bowl
I like that they are all being themselves though I guess. I mean I respect that. But I think they all have something more meaningful to say
e: I'm on pink matter and I'm remembering what andrew noz said once: "andre 3K could make the best drake album ever if he'd let himself do it." so ot$.

Yes. The album has held up very well.
