It's only been delayed like multiple times over a year and a half.
They should have just put Believe Me out there and then the album. Grindin' and Krazy are cringeworthy.

Just caught the Shmurda video. The fuck is he dancing for? They're not paying him shit. He's not even getting paid for his shows, the fuck is a label going to do with him?
Not sure why Dusse got zero push. That was a great song.
Is that a moisturizer?
nah
Yeah, that was a good song, the 2nd single I think.

Yeah that was a good song keep that and believe me the other two tracks are certified garbage.
Yeah so I've run through this new Black Milk a few times today and while I pretty much enjoy each individual track, when I look at it as a whole..
Kinda doesn't feel all that cohesive. Some of these tracks are made in an alchemist lane, others remind me of something DJ shadow or nujabes might do percussion wise, or something Dilla would do with a sample, I'm not really feeling that. This is kinda made (to me) in the style of a modern kanye or big boi album that tries to unite a bunch of disparate elements in one LP but not really fully exploring the language of any of these individual voices. It keeps your attention throughout the project but at the end of it all do you really feel like you reaped anything or any sort of forward motion was made?
Will keep listening though.

So spin decided to rank 283 Eminem songs for some reason.

Forgot about dre #1 what
why? who needed this?
I agree with this, altho the live instruments hold it together sonically for me well enough. There's just not enough narrative/theme/arc to unite it, or it could be just that black milk is somewhat limited as an mc.
But I do like it a ton. Prooooob top 10 for me, but too soon to tell tbh

Make a thread in OT about this and watch GAF lose their minds defending/attacking the list.

Interesting, I have an almost exactly opposite view. To me the album feels like a great fusion of Detroit electronica (heavy synths) and Detroit "bounce" music - live drums/bombastic snares, active bass, jazzy feel, etc. It's like a mix of Welcome 2 Detroit and Tronic. To me that's the Dilla influence - whereas BM's previous albums are full of insane Dilla-esque chops this one replaces that with a more natural, jazzy flow.
I don't feel like there are many disparate elements, if any. The first track is a great example of the synths and drums coming together and it flows throughout the album. Like his last album there isn't much in the way of Dilla-esque chopping, the soul samples are reserved as well.
In many ways this is the type of project I'd rather hear Thundercat on than that FlyLo album. The instrumentation here feels more natural, melodic, and groovy than the almost automated chaos of FlyLo.
of course.

Acceptable choice. Might even be what I go with myself. It's one of the best showcases of his skill.
Big Sean tryna get them EDM checks w/ Calvin Harris

Wait, that's what happened at NYC?
for better or worse nothing else reminds me of this album, even other Quelle Chris albums. I threw this on Saturday night (been about a year),

True.
also true for me.
I'm thinking Cilvia Demo will definitely be at the top for me this year. I mean I slept on it until last week so maybe some of the shine will wear off, but damn it's good.
please dont start this.
Troy Average is so fucking funny.

Like, I'm mad that this is even a thing and that you posted it.
This dude is so unabashedly corny.
Well, we don't know for sure if he sent him, but the dude in the hoodie has been linked to Troy Ave despite his camp denying it. They're in all these pictures and videos together.
What about the mmlp2
All this black milk talk getting me excited. Just waiting for the app to update so I can check it out

Stan is nowhere near his best. Rabbit Run should be #1.

Big Ghost on Twitter talking about how Logic pretty much was trying to imitate Kendrick on his album. Checked some of the comments and someone said his track "Under Pressure" copied the same drums from Sing About Me.. So I checked out the track...
Song sounds like Sing About Me pt 2 smh. No originality.

What a stupid thing to complain about. People use the same samples all the time.
