Freebase is a dope song and 2chainz held it down, but shit like crib in my closet sounds so dated. Shit sounds bland in this era, its trying waaaaay to hard.

Ab-soul has some dope bars but can't really carry himself through an album, he completely destroyed Aston Matthews TTG but then has Tree of Life as his own project.

I don't think I've ever seen well-tagged pre-release shots of albums. Even producers themselves just seem to have the title of the song in caps and that's it when they show what they're working on.

Huh where?


Anywhere if I remember correctly there was someone looking for more Weeknd stuff, but I'd suggest getting into the lo-fi pop movement as there are a bunch of gems including this new release:

EP of the year for me:

...Sounds like How to Dress Well remixed by Holy Other

^^^ super good, been grooving on it a lot this week.

So Cal stuff.

Cashmere Cat is still playing the 23rd in Santa Ana. Tickets are sold out but it's not too late to try for Stubhub, and I've heard there might be an additional ticket release. Gonna be dope.

The first annual Low End Theory Fest is June 14th/15th, but sold out. At the same time, if you've never been to Low End (Wednesdays at the Airliner), that week's is the week to go. Currently scheduled to be residents only, there's a good chance some special folks are going to show up. If there's an event or festival going on, always try to make it out. Q-Tip played a set between W1 and W2 of Coachella, for example. And Low End is the mecca of west coast hiphop, so it's worth going every week just to enjoy it if you can. For real the best place in the world. Basically like church for me at this point.

Another good time to go is around FYF Fest, which just had a super dope lineup announced. $129 for both days, GAF Hop messiah Ryan Hemsworth will be there. Might want to try going around Lightning in a Bottle as well.

I just heard about it today, but what you do guys think of the Super Jam lineup in St. Louis?

Kendrick Lamar, Juicy J, K Michelle will be joined YG, August Alsina, Juvenile, K Camp, Rico Love, Bando Jonez, Tinashe and the STL playlist set (feat. JGE, Keem, Laude, Lil St. Louis, Pretty Tony, Tef Poe & Tiffany Foxx)!


I've got seats in the 4th row, and am pretty excited!

Yeah already got my Low End tix, pretty pumped. FYF's lineup is damn good this year (Slint AND Slowdive hello) and Death Grips was fantastic last time so I can't wait to see them again. Last year's rap was pretty underwhelming aside from DG and Antwon so I'm glad this year's is slightly better.

Nas will release Lost Tapes 2 on Mass Appeal Records.

Will check out that Movement stuff.
Click to expand...
The launch of Mass Appeal Records is now official with a story over at Billboard announcing the label, which is a joint venture between Nas and DECON Records co-founder Peter Bittenbender. There has been wide speculation that Boldy James would be one of the first artists signed, and although he recently denied that he had completed a deal with Nas, he is mentioned in the story as one of the initial artists on the MA roster along with Bishop Nehru and Fashawn.

But the real news here is that Nas intends to use the boutique label as a conduit for his own music once his deal with Def Jam expires later this year. One of the first projects he plans on releasing is the long delayed, highly anticipated Lost Tapes 2 compilation of b-sides and rarities. Also on deck is a posthomous Pimp C album and a compilation project which will feature contributions from fellow Mass Appeal investor Pusha T, Future, the A$AP Mob, Mac Miller and Nas himself. One tidbit that jumped out at me was the fact that Nas plans on doing a remake of the classic Gangstarr track from which the label and magazine takes its name.

I've not seen any, haha. So this should be sweet. How is Kendrick live?
Click to expand...

I saw him at Chaifetz about a year back. He's... OK. It feels like he's still getting used to the mental pressure of performing in front of a crowd in some respects from where I was. On his more speedy flow tracks he often asks the crowd to complete a lot of things or has some breath issues, has to drink water often. He could have easily improved since I saw him though. If i were to rate him, it'd be B-.

Nice. I wonder if he'll use this as his defacto label after his final Def Jam record. I always assumed Nas would chase another big paycheck to a major label. He seems to be in a good place right now though, perhaps he'll do the right thing and go indie.

That Australian Nas song is lol worthy but Nas' verse is good. More interesting: his flow. Sounds like he's not going to have a problem on Mike Will type shit. Hmmm.
