Same diff.
But on another note, because of my move to another continent, I'm a bit behind on the popular music. I just got MMLP2 and listened to it.
On the Esch scale, its a 6/17.
He's just out of shit to say and he admits it many, many times on the record. He's talented, but he's just out of shit to talk about so he spits nonsense, plays with screaming, accents, jokes and random bullshit. And if I have to hear him say some "clever" line before dropping the beat and saying "GET IT" one more time I'm going to shit in his elevator.
Meh. Just Meh.

I'm holding out hope that Ric is a big hip hop fan and actually learned how to use a computer so he could join thecoli.
Really if I was them and it was pretty clear I wasnt ever gonna see Jay type longevity id just set aside enough for a fast food franchise or something. Probably Rozays best move in the last couple years. I find it funny that dudes like Paul Wall are sitting pretty because they spent their cash on something like that instead of trying to make people think you're a hustler or smoking it all up.

true but brehs...does anyone think Meek Mills knows about ROTH IRAs?
Maybe
Idk, but every dude in our generation should know that you're not gonna see shit from CDs/savings. And honestly you should never put stock in medicare etc being around for us either. that era is dunzo total. It sucks to admit it, but but people our age should be putting some aside right now for when we retire.

Actually he went over 700,00o twice and very different points in his career... steadily sold less doesn't make sense..
but whatever you say.

Teflon Don: 724k

Spot the outlier. His sales have a general downward spiral. I'd bet money right now that Mastermind won't go gold in 2014.

Rozay speaks on Mastermind delay.
"Your shit pushed back cause it aint buzzin", eh Ross?
Heh

Sometimes I think Busta's "Legends of the Fall Offs" is the most insightful song ever written about the rap industry

You guys should check out the Because The Internet script. Even if you don't fuck with him, the script is around 70 pages. Really weird but was a good read.
And Jhene Aiko is in it.

I'm guessing this is for the screenplay?

If there is a screenplay then probably.
Wait. Where's the outlier?
Expecting lines rhyming Cano with promo and claims of being the black Tex Rickard within the month.

Clapping for the wrong reasons is supposed to be a prelude to the script.
I feel that too.. That's why he can't stick with one sound or really find his own.
aw damn that thread got my sides in pain.

Gambino with the video of the year
Actually like it, 3005 is GOAT

I like this song and the video.
The only song I really hate on the album

Is the Troy Ave song seemingly featuring Tony Yayo new?
Either way, I like it.
Either way, I like it.
I admire Gambino's ambition though. Even though the album feels heavily inspired by a whole mash up of different sounds (Drake, Frank Ocean, West, and Kendrick) I like the whole album quite a bit. I l feel as if the whole album comes across pretty cohesive, despite the blending; especially in the 2nd half.
He also cut off the whole "black kid who isn't accepted by both whites and blacks" bit. He sings more, which I'm okay with. And he dropped the Asian girl stuff completely. Like I said though, it isn't converting anyone. He still has "hashtag"/corny lines aplenty.

Pretty much my thoughts too. The second half of the album is pretty strong.
Gambino's album is gonna make the top ten...Of Quarter 4.
In celebration I'm watching Derrick Comedy for old times sake

Thanks..loved the slow stuff on Camp, never had a problem with all his whining, prefer that over all that swag and boasting trash other rappers do (especially if they're wack as hell). Also love his corny punchlines. They're funny to me.
Not sure if I'll get this one though, that last tape (Royalty?) was complete trash outside of a few tracks.
hahaha that 3005 video is hilarious, song is pretty good as well.

Lol. I always feel like I should like Gambino, but when I put on his music...I just want to turn it off.
I don't think it's bad. I just don't think it's particularly good.
I dont see any stannery.
Juan Epstein is awesome, this was mostly a blow out with Ye though. It was too short (like a third of the length of regular episodes), and even though they did probably the best job yet of reeling Kanye back from that fashion talk, it still ended up relatively taking up too much time. "We tried to contain Kanye, but why would you want to contain him when he gave us all this greatness?"
- Kanye alludes to avoiding features on other people's songs this year
- Wanted Theraflu on Yeezus too, Flex leaked it early so it was decided to be on CS/Khaled's album
- Everyone tried to act like they didn't like Cruel Summer even though they fucked with most of the songs (Story of GAF-Hop)
- No I.D. wouldn't let him use certain drums until he paid dues to earn them
- Yeezy's are his Jesus Walks in fashion
- So Appalled written while he was working at Fendi in Rome
- Find My Love was pretty much Kanye's song, he gave it away to Drake (previously we've only heard that he helped write or produce it but Ebro straight up says it was given away), when the song got big Kanye felt a type of way and had to adjust how he handled things
- The bridge in Good Life was one of the hooks, Kanye forced T-Pain to do 8 different hooks
Seems like the second part of the interview they just recorded them conversing off the air and put it out.. lol
The second half of the episode is them digesting what it's like talking to Ye, they talked:
- The business accumen aspect of why he has longevity
- "Creative autistic"
- Them backing up what Ye said about making retro Jordans poppin' again after they started struggling
- Why his arrogance and entitlement ultimately is substantiated, because a lot of other artists talk that same shit but don't back it up
Talk Eminem catching feelings about one thing Rosenberg said when they've been dickriding him otherwise, and Paul said "yeah, you can have him on your show.. when he drops MMLP3 in 13 years." Yo damn.
