Rashad and SZA go together so well, definitely one of the biggest surprises of the year. Every track they have done has been dope. Their chemistry makes it sound like they've been working together for years.

Definitely. Warm Winds and Ronnie Drake are apart of my favourite songs of the year so far.
Kendrick is serious about this shit. I can't say if the next album will live up to the hype, but I know he will try. Last two TDE albums just felt like a couple flabby stoners trying to meet contractual obligations. That ain't Kendrick though. The crown weighs heavy on his head.

CAN. HE. TOP IT.
TOOK THE CROWN, GUNNIN' FOR THE THRONE
WILL KENDRICK LAMAR SAVE HIPHOP????

10/10 a chasm apart from his peers, kendrick's sophmore album is a strong testament to the indomitable soul rap can evoke.
10/10 album of the year
5.5/10 idk uuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm shabazz was more inventive mike eagle had more heart madgibbs brought soul and step brothers rocked atmosphere so....
8.9/10 a worthy successor
9.6 don't even fuck with rap but this is hot [People's Magazine Critics' Choice]
10/10 quite possibly the strongest statement yet that rap, at its best, is a massively powerful tool for the imagination that is far and away worth the rampant mediocrity left in it's wake

Dude we get it you're were a good guy who's seen some things but honestly who are you? I mean, who are you right now, today? Are you innocent Kendrick, dangerous Kendrick, reflective Kendrick....have you become any other kind of Kendrick? Even tried? What about happy Kendrick? Where is world traveled and mentally nourished Kendrick? If we sat down and had a conversation right now, no music involved, what would we talk about? Your life growing up? Or would we just sit there in silence? Get back to me when you have something to say.

This section is where the mainstream opinion of the record soars while common internet/music circle consensus bemoans it's stale, genre adherent lack of creativity and freedom. Basically this

you can fill the rest in pretty easy. black internet turns on it, white media loves it, time passes, everyone loves it for what it is, grammy nods, WILL IT FINALLY HAPPEN, g-eazy wins, chaos. Basically we're in for greatness brehs.

it wasn't adherent to the music daft punk had already written, it was genre-adherent in terms of the sound it was trying to accomplish. There was nothing about RAM that stood out among anything remotely similar to it sonically over the past ~40 years. it followed a standard and failed to distinguish itself.
but that's my take personally.

Well, at least we've solidified we're only talking about the singles here.

Common's album is pretty solid, I like most of the production. The only real black eye is Big Sean on Diamonds. I guess I could do without "Real" as well.

Mistah Fab has a new mixtape out called welcome to the dope era. I have to give it a listen later on. It seems like his mix tapes are promotional advertisements for his songwriting ability. Say what you want but he can write his ass off. He still eating off hip-hop with quality material.

the real problem with RAM is that Pharrell is trash. If you put a good singer on Get Lucky or Lose Yourself to Dance they become legit great songs. I don't hate the discro/retro approach, just do it right. One of the interesting things about disco is that so many of the singers in the genre were really fucking good. Pharrell can't sing and his falsetto is just weak.
I really like Giorgio by Moroder but that's about it, alongside Touch which is brilliant. And the Panda song is fun.

I've seen Daft Punk 3 times and shit was I let down by the new album. That being said if they toured it with a live band I'd go watch that shit in a heartbeat.
I'm not gonna lie; that wasn't bad -- just embarrassing for him.
