I really don't buy that, at all. You're going to tell me that Alchemist couldn't do a Wu album by getting a few in the studio, and having the rest email verses?

Absolutely not. Half wouldn't show up, half wouldn't sanction it because it isn't RZA. RZA is what links their relationships, despite quabbles between members. I don't think any other person period has the capacity to at least temporarily mend those relationships. RZA has been pushing for this shit for years, no one is more qualified to exec produce.

Raekwon is the chief complainer about RZA but when has he made a good album without RZA?
Nope.
Lil Durk - Party ft. Young Thug (prod Young Chop)
beat seems a bit adventurous for Chop. Feel like it kinda feeds off the bass music people who fed off trap producers; this could pass for a TNGHT track with the way it's structured and how heavy the chorus hits

G Count (of L.E.P. Bogus Boys) Chi-Raq Freestyle. Game diss. Also at the link is a video of Lil Durk talking about the Tyga beef and his response w/Bump J which is coming.
2 Chainz - Trap Back video. Fuck MTV.

Des anything new I should listen to in the vein of The Weeknd or that Chester Watson you recommended from your quarter rap up thread? Basically something chill

I felt the same when Acid Rap first came out. After a while.. I liked Acid Rap more.
Try this.
I still need to get around and so my Bandcamp shopping spree. Have so many albums that I need to buy.
it's good. you guys were stanning his shit way too hard. i talked with PD about this subject on the bore and dude said HoB is one of the 10 best records of the last decade. I don't even know man. It's honestly better now that his buzz has chilled.
Saved.
Man, this song sounds like it can be so huge, and I think people will be able to stomach the terrible Ye verse like E.T.
Game is out though.

Yea I enjoyed Cilvia Demo.
That Chester Watson was good though I was thinking something more in that direction.
Yeah The Weeknd has been a bit over the place but based on it seeming he'll be hooking up with his older producers on his next project there is cause for optimism.
The mixtapes still get almost daily play from me to be totally honest.
Bias aside Esch HoB is pretty great.
Thanks
edit: Retro Hash was a nice surprise
and Antwon who?
edit2: CRS the production on that first song sounds like The xx almost.

Was never able to go through a whole album from Abel. All the songs sound the same imo. All the same tone and feeling.
Frank Ocean >>
Frank Ocean >>
Ye killed it on ET. He kills most of the pop shit he hops on.
You ever listen to Ethereal? https://supernatural.bandcamp.com/album/e
Khalil Nova is another dope guy to check out

I'll check em both out, thanks. And which Antwon release were you talking about?
edit: When you guys put Ocean above I hope you're not talking about Nostalgia, Ultra

Oh agree, hardly close actually. Can't wait for whatever Frank has next. anyone gone through his entire Lonny Breaux mixtape? I've had it sitting here for a while but whenever I think about checking it out I head for one of the two albums I know is fantastic instead
Lonny Breaux is pretty inconsistent, a lot of the songs are more unfinished than others. TBH I've never gone back to anything on it ever, but you might find something that sticks.
As far as Ocean goes, I keep Nostalgia, Ultra sync'd to my phone but nothing more. He better be taking this time out right now to come up with something better than channel.Borange.
Weeknd 4/4. 5/5 if you include his best album, Balloons of Haus.
Damn. I agree with you man. Frank is a far superior lyricist too as far as subjects addressed, that was the thing I loved about Nostalgia Ultra, I got various bits of different things here and there as I went through it.
He needs to nut up and pay for them samples, because Channel Orange sucked.
Pyramids is just.. a journey. He's an amazingly talented songwriter but dude is just way too inconsistent in actual output.

Does Weeknd use auto tune?

Where's Toku? I need someone to discuss how classic House of Balloons is with.
I know I'm in the minority but I absolutely love Channel Orange, to me it's one of the greatest records in the last few years. Still listen to it almost every day.. The Weeknd is a bit of a one hit wonder to me (well..one album wonder) HOB was amazing, still is, but everything after that mediocre or downright bad. He does have a great voice though.
So to me it's completely the other way around.
Heavy Hearted In Doldrums
I might prefer Nostalgia over HOB, but they're very close. They are both great for different moods though. Unfortunately the album debuts were disappointing, regardless I am really looking forward to what Frank drops next, on the other hand I feel satisfied and done with Abel.

I like Kiss Land the most ¯_(ツ
_/¯
_/¯I like almost everything The Weeknd's done so far, he's a talented dude, but yeah he needs to either take a break or try something new. I can only listen to so many angsty, melodramatic, six minute long songs with some dude warbling about drugs and pussy.
I'm definitely on the hype train for the next Frank Ocean project, and I fuckin loved the shit out of Channel Orange. It's a modern classic as far as I'm concerned. Second best R&B album since Love Hate.

Same. I like most of his work, but Kiss Land is his best to me.
I wish I could stan for Frank off of the skrenf of Nostalgia Ultra, but gawd damn is Channel Orange terrible.

Thursday is significantly better than Channel Orange. I remember Thursday being a bit jarring because the first track was arguably his weakest track to that point. But after that track it's smooth sailing.
Channel Orange is basically a boring pop album. It's the album Pharell wishes he could make.
