Two weren't enough?
Yeah I'm still bitter about that. I was excited as fuck for that album and waited forever for it only to find out years later Dre pissed off DOC which led to the whole album dying. I even picked up DOC's version he made to spite Dre thinking maybe it was the album I was waiting for just under DOC's name for some reason.

Edit: Whoops meant that for NFL-GAF.
I worded it bad but I think there is a difference between not liking sports but understanding why people are into it (competition/entertainment) and then those who don't like sports and make it their business to ruin the experience for those who do like it (I have friends like that). Similar to some people who don't get or like rap but then also have to make sure others agree with them all the time.
To me its just as pathetic as people getting worked over other "meaningless" things like music, video-games, or whatever other hobbies there are. I mean everything is meaningless if you break it down. Why would the money athletes bother you when musicians also make absurd amounts of money. In other words we all have certain interests which we get heavily invested into but if you take a step back they don't really affect us in any real way.
The "we" talk doesn't bother me. No one actually says it believing they are a part of the team. It just comes out. Almost like when you discuss teams you become a representative of your team or their moves so you end up using we. At least I never think I am a part of the team. Only time that works is when you are at the game and with crowd noise can affect the opposition.
As for the money...it is absurd but compared to the leagues, what the owners make, and how much networks make, it is a fraction of that revenue. I do think all sports needs to have a cap like the NBA and NFL have so you can't just pay an infinite amount like the Yankees used to. But it doesn't bother me that players make $100M contracts when the owners are making billions and the leagues are making even more.

I wonder how much amazing music he has sitting around that isn't going to see the light of day till like he dies and some huge expensive boxed set comes out.
Just looking at all the unfinished projects of artists who came and went from Aftermath, it makes you wonder...
Just watch, we'll get like 6 detox albums in one giant boxed set.

Two average albums you mean.
He has all that unreleased material set to a heart monitor. When he dies all the tracks get destroyed.
For fun, he'll say.

Damn how was Hudmo ? Always wondered how he'd be live I'm a big fan of butter and his GOOD music work.
yes. stan with me, please
Musicians are artists and most of them don't make nearly as much as even the average athlete. Artists offer a reflection on life and put out a tangible product, which can be purchased and used within one's home.

It was lively but he cant seem to mix for shit. Its was like
Weird ambient sounds to kind of clear the way
banger

fucked the mix up

banger then pulled it up

It was relentless. Mostly his stuff, Rusite, TNGHT and Yeezus bits with the one action bronson song I mentioned. He then got to play and extra 15 mins so played a bunch of disco which was just fun as hell.
I mean ive seen him dj properly before but I guess so much time producing and running around america dulls the blade so to speak.

If I didn't know that was a Kanye quote I'd think it was Lil Wayne or Nicki Minaj lyrics
Thank. m.A.A.d is a bit better than Section.80. Going through Overly Dedicated. Not really into J. Cole like that.
I am liking Pusha T's My Name is My Name but the majority of the songs on it feature artists that actually manage to sound better than Pusha T (like Kendrick)
but holy shit Nosetalgia is phenominal
Can you name any others besides Kendrick? I go back and forth between the two's verses on that song but overall the coldness of Pusha's baby scheme wins me over.
Really can't see anyone saying Sean/2Chainz/Liva/Chris Brown/Jeezy/Cossom/Rowland stole the show.
Not all athletes make the big $s. The average NFL career is a little less than 3 years. So while athletes might make more it is like musicians where a select few have longevity and make the big dollars.
Anyway to me its the same thing. Yeah of course music is personal but at the end of the day you enjoy it as a hobby. Its not a necessity. Its entertainment. Just like sports are for people.
See I liked the songs with Pharrell,
Ross
I was just trying to get a feel to see what you would like. Not the same as Kendrick, but if you want a look at some variation from recent years, check out these:
Danny Brown- XXX
Danny Brown- Old
Big Krit- Return of 4eva
Shabazz Palaces- Black Up
CunninLynguists- Oneirology
I really wasn't a huge fan of Pusha's album.
Temporary Forever, Fear of a Black Tangent, Memoirs of the Elephant Man (reeeeaaaalllly rough around the edges, probably one of the most unique but unaccessible rap albums I've ever heard)
This song converted me, dude is so off his rocker.

In unrelated Kanye News...
Ever since that Trillmatic video came out I've been listening to Method Man sooo much.
Even though he's one of my favorite Wu-Tang Members (Toss up between him and RZA) I always seem to forget how amazing he is as a rapper.
He can even rap about Candy and make it sound cool.

uncut bulletproof wallets is kind of a classic. It's head and shoulders above something like fishscale honestly
