I like All Black Everything and Till I Get There on Lasers.
Lupe's personality just took a nosedive after The Cool. He got rid of his old team and just went full on ass hole.
All Black Everything is the only song I liked on Lasers

Most of the time if you ask people something they actually liked on Lasers, it would be that track. Could have been an extra for The Cool.
Still salty about how State Run Radio came out. All the Live versions I've seen were pretty dope but the CDQ version, and I'll admit I did play it a lot, was pretty dull in comparison...
Hey Gaf-Hop, I was just wondering what some of you think the top albums of the year so far are. I gotta make a 7 hour trip today and had enough to buy 3 full CD's, so I wanna make sure I make it through the trip with some new music. Since I'm new I might as well post this. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Musical Taste:
Pick a coast to rep - West (From Cali of course)
Favorite Artist - Kno (Cunninlynguists) and Mac Dre is classic. From big albums last year I really enjoyed Danny Brown. SchoolBoy Q gets down also, Oxymoron I haven't listened to and just bought it today for my trip.
Best feature killer - As of last year, def Danny Brown
Favourite producer - Kno
Favourite album - Illmatic
What's in your playlist right now? - I don't really make playlists I just go with whatever song I choose next -_-

- The new Freddie Gibbs & Madlib album (which is entitled Pinata) is dope (be sure to get it through Best Buy, so you can get the bonus tracks)
- Ratking's debut album is also really good, though you may or may not like it due to the way the main vocalist sounds
- Rick Ross' "Mastermind" is also quite fun to listen to, it's a cohesive Ross album and one of my favorites from him
- In the mixtape world, Lil Herb (or G Herbo...both names suck) released a next tape called "Welcome to Fazoland" that just might be the best thing that's come out of the new Chicago rap scene (since I'm nice, I'll link you to the No DJ version of the tape)

Pinata is close to perfect, it's the defacto AOTY right now for me. Step Brothers and Cilvia are next. I haven't listened to Ratking yet but it's on my phone.
The only stuff I imagine knocking Pinata from #1 are Kendrick's album or whatever Roc Marciano releases.
HRD answer my headphone question from the previous page brah.

I don't fuck with low-tier Sennheiser offerings, but it's such a common headphone that you can demo at any Bestbuy.

aite. My brother is cheap although he would buy Beats in a heartbeat for some reason lol
Damn, those look really nice, might pick up once I get a new sound system
Not quite as good as Attack on Memory to me, it's more consistent but doesn't have the highs of Attack on Memory when the latter album hits its really dark and nihilistic peak.
i'm not des, but i didn't like the new album, like at all. attack on memory is still dope though
Hey coldvein I don't like emo at all really, but all of my friends swear by this Hotelier record, if you haven't heard it you might like it.
In other news this Peeway the Longway tape is mixed so I might have to throw this shit in the recycling bin, though I fux with some of the songs.

Speaking of non-rap music, I'm hype for the new Cymbals Eat Guitars.

Damn, Des. Somehow I didn't think you would like Clivia Demo so much. It's an okay record. Neat production but maybe I need to give it a re-listen. I felt that Rashad had nothing really interesting to bring to the table lyrically.

Migos ft. Young Thug - 1017. Corny.

Kinda close to call, M50s slightly better isolation and midrange along with being more detailed. AE's slightly better comfort and bass quality. I find the M50 to have peaky treble, but everyone else loves them. The good thing is that the vanilla M50 is on sale since the M50x rendition is out.
I agree.
Last semi-introspective things I listened to and liked:
...Unrelated tidbit, I think the new People Under the Stairs is going to catapult to my top ten
If he did more poppy r&b ish like "This weed iz mine" then he'd be fun again. Dude isn't who he was 20 years ago (thankfully), he should just keep playing up his fun weed head shit and do fun tracks. he doesn't have shit to worry about anymore.
like this shit, my girl even stopped playing katamari to come over and hit replay. good work man.
I knew this day would come...
eat my child. you look famished.
that's dope dude. I really hope carpark goes back and re-releases some of his older material (really hoping for a vinyl release for HIT VIBES, that album still gets a gross amount of replays from me).
I've been working on finishing FEZ at a full completion rate. This game is other worldly. Phil Fish is a god.
especially with a joint in my hand and bumping the Pinata (aoty) instrumentals. need a vinyl release for those as well.

It seems like for you guys lyrics play a much bigger factor in your enjoyment of an artist, but for me lyrics only make up about a third of the picture. Production aside, I often enjoy how an artists speaks as much as I enjoy what he's saying. I mean I like artists like Black Kray and Ruben Slikk so this should be apparent. With that being said, Rashad brings much more to the table lyrically than some of ya'll are making it seem, he actually manages to do the swagged out cloud rap thing rather well all while remaining at least somewhat introspective. I love Freddie Gibbs, but he's not the lyrical messiah some of ya'll are making him out to be, and when I play an Armand Hammer track which is really kind of an intricate record I feel like some of ya'll have no clue what is going on...It's perplexing.

Lasers was dog shit. I shoulda made my post more clear.
I was quoting whoever said lasers WAS a solid album.
It wasn't.
