You should, as it's another nail in the coffin of radio and the traditional music industry. A rap album nearly going gold in a week without a manufactured single, or a single of any type, little to no mainstream marketing...just the fans supporting their favorite artist. Very damn impressive regardless of what you think of Cole.

Meanwhile Nicki Minaj had a top 5 single with 300mil+ views on youtube and won't even get to 400k records sold in two years, more than likely. Iggy still hasn't gotten close to gold.

tbh I already dropped like 600 bills on her. Idk, most likely we're going to have to put her down since she's just sitting there puking up everything and not able to move really. Some sad shit but we'll see I guess.

I've come around on this cole shit after a few more spins btw, it's not terrible, it's not amazing to me. It's better than sinner and you can't fault the dude's hustle.
Wet Dreamz tho, nah.

Radio isn't going anywhere because the top 1% does well after the radio helped them get to that point.

I need something to replace MKL with on my top 10, can't have that. The Mike Will-tape doesn't qualify right?

Still need to listen to Fazoland, The Neighborhood is currently on the top 10 just because of Herbs verse.

Fuck, sorry man :[

I am not giving TDE L of the year only cause Q sold well and Cilvia was great, otherwise as a fan they had a bad year. Really bad. Kendrick even close to L of the year, personally. He's still too successful though.

all this critical positivity around The Pinkprint is absolutely baffling..

i'm skmimming but that first one felt like an onion piece, and the last one sounds like it's bigger on the concept than execution

which i guess is fine but pills & potions, anaconda and presumably some low-level BOW DOWN BITCHES doesn't really paint an exciting picture

all that shit reads like onion pieces. i guess given the choice between Iggy and Nicki as the leading rap female voice, Nicki doesn't seem so bad.

Fabolous on The Breakfast Club. Great interview. Lots of info:

- Fab is with Roc Nation now (I assume management because they mention Def Jam at the end)
- Talks about why he doesn't and does get mentioned in Top NYC lists, and I feel like he is completely right about him being left out usually until people remember a verse or song or something
- Speaks about sample clearances and stuff, later even crazier stuff like getting Kevin Hart to re-do recordings, getting appearances in the videos for songs cleared, then getting the people who made the video cleared, etc.
- Sheds a bit of light on the Drake/Diddy situation. Says he heard that Drake put out a song they both had before Diddy, and that song was made in one of Diddy's sessions and I guess was supposed to be his. This better not be over one of those trash 6 God songs.
- Talks about the first time he saw Ray J after the infamous money team shit, says they were tryna have a Farrakhan sit down type shit and he was like stop calling my phone lmao
- Addresses people saying he should be bigger than he ended up
- Talks rolling out albums then vs. now, they discuss the purpose of putting out free music nowadays

This is a pretty damn good list. I don't agree with all the positions, but majority of my top 10 songs of the year is within the top 50. Not seeing how this is a shit list

Noz is super insightful and funny but he has the taste of a perpetual 21 year old. He's one of those dudes who's never going to take a look at what's out today and go

Kendrick to debut his career shift into slam poetry and attending art history courses at Pratt Institute. He'll be bunking at Soulo's crib for the best college experience of ramen and schwaggy weed while being lectured about the man and how he's keeping you down.
