Kendrick Lamar, Hip Hop's Newest Old-School Star by New York Times
Bit of a read, but I will get on it eventually. Kendrick admits to being cheap and being smart with his money instead of wasting racks. Also talks about how the Yeezus tour went.

My Top Five Jay-Z Albums
- Blueprint
- Black Album
- Reasonable Doubt
- Vol.2 Hard Knock Life
- American Gangster
Kendrick seem like the type of dude that'll take the subway Keanu Reeves style. I admire that. Most rappers need to follow suit of money management. Reminds me of the infamous Redman crib.
fantano didn't like these days
I would switch around Black Album and Reasonable Doubt and that's pretty much my list

Sounds about right. Reasonable Doubt would be #2 for me, but other than that, yeah I agree.

You think companies are still buying up rap records in the days when platinum is rarer than virgins in LA? Payola died out around the time people discovered BitTorrent.
good lord yes. maybe for not as many acts but for the big acts it's definitely happening.

Kendrick being smart about his $ is always good to see
also Purple Rain dropped today a long time back as well, so Hov's in good comapny
haha he gotta take the bait tho, dude tweets love for jigga nearly every week
can't knock these rankings, thing about the lower albums is there's some absolutely classic tracks & some filler (like most hip hop albums), overall i think Jay would prolly need more discs for a true Greatest Hits than even LL had with both All World's.
also it may be nostalgia/where i was at at the time but while i admit RD & Blueprint's superiority/importance, i get mad happy hearing Black Album, it's just a near perfect album by me...think i'm gonna cop that vinyl soon

I promise you, that makes absolutely no financial sense in this climate. It made sense when records were going 2x platinum as a matter of course, but no, no company is buying up records when 100k is seen as a success. No company is pushing hard to make Ab Soul a star. There is literally no upside for them and 100 percent downside.
Look at how even Jay had to work a payola scam with Samsung himself. The days of Interscope buying 50k of The Documentary to prime the pump is way, way, way over.

much love & happy birf to my man Shinobis! yeah he was great at that, it's reactionary but gets people listening to shit they may've not given an honest shake. he did this with non-OB4CL Raekwon albums too.
not sure what i'm hoping for here: dreamer wasn't a bad album, but like Undun it was a certain mood i wasn't often inclined towards. for modern era Com, Be remains the high bar for me.
this is equal parts hilarious & terrifying

Ayo, I can get one night stands, but I can't get a girlfriend because girls think I already have one and I am trying to make them my side chick.
Not really a rant, but this has been ongoing I swear for like the past 6 months and I think it is hilarious

Definitely not, but there are always the rare industry exception, like giving as flabby of a project as These Days something as generous as a 5/10.

Blueprint never really caught my attention like it did for everyone else... Always much more of a fan of Black Album.
Blueprint 2 really had better songs than the first one. I do think if you were to just take 13 songs from 2, you would end up with a better project than the first Blueprint.

Des put it together better than 99% of people would. I mean I'm too lazy to feed my dog on time most nights.
1. TBA
2. BP
3. RD
and I still think that RD is better than Cuban Linx as far as mafioso albums go

I'm sure he is trolling just a little bit, but I love his threads. Crack me up to see how many people he piss off
That's true, I forgot about that project, but I meant more like you listen to it and take 13 tracks. Not jay haha

okay, going back through dude's history - his gaming-side shit, Virgin-GAF and cheating-GAF etc in OT, now i kinda miss dude

I think it'll be good he's inspired by what's been happening in Chicago he's got Lil Herb and a couple of other drill artists on the album as well.
Nas' management needs to upload high quality videos of this show or a different one with the orchestra.
Here's a different recording NY State of mind

not as familiar with them but here's to hoping. again Dreamer wasn't even a bad album by me, just couldn't get into it too often
dope, i love when we get pieces like this
honestly it might seem like milking it after the 20th anniversary re-release but i hope we get a recording of these orchestral renditions, be a damn shame if we didn't

If he had released an Orchestral version of Illmatic as the 20th Anniversary edition. That'd have been amazing.
