I get the feeling that I won't care much for Kenneths new album with respect to rapping style or sonic direction but the lyrical content, cohesiveness, theming, etc will be on point.

KDot track was cool. He's branching out, but doing so successfully with this one. I hope the album shares this soul/space/funk vibe. George Clintons presence was felt. I want a getup like Thundercat.

The worst day of my life was when I had a fifteen page midterm due on Moby Dick and I decided to read the beginning and end of the book the day before, study spark notes for everything in middle, and come up with the thesis in the morning. I ended up comparing Captain Ahab to Satan in Paradise Lost and it came together brilliantly. I worked in the library for four hours straight when suddenly I got an urge to grab cheez-its from the vending machine. When I came back the computer was logged off and everything was automatically erased. I checked recent documents to no avail. I lost eleven or so pages in mere minutes and worst of all the paper was due that evening. I worked my ass off to make everything up and at least make the page requirement, but this was a senior class, and finding all of those little quotes and paraphrases to support the thesis is much harder under pressure. Well I ended getting it around fourteen or so pages, but it was so riddled with grammatical mistakes that even though my foundation was solid I ended up getting a C-. I worked my ass off for that C- though.

Holy shit. All that cause of cheez-its. Guess that's a sign of things to come for me.

I started my 9 page paper last night and finished in 5 hours. Pretty good.

2 pages means nothing to me anymore and I'm grateful for these long ass papers for that. Oh and Kendrick is good, need a CDQ to judge completely. Especially since Kanye's SNL performance was way better than what we got. Dem live screams.

I wrote maybe 20 out of the 35 pages of my thesis within 36 hours.

I hope to never repeat that experience ever again.

for those 5+ page papers I always wondered if teachers really read those through or if they just skimmed them. because i'd just skim them. actually I wouldn't even assign anything longer than 5 pages if I could help it.

I'm reading Moby Dick as my current book. Redeem yourself and read it for leisure.

For real, the hate from Des is making we wonder about him. If you deny that was some straight la flama when that crescendo rolled into that drop with the sax carrying off in the back, you're just an empty fucking husk inside. Holy shit the hype is suddenly real.

But as an aside, how long before some blogger/Tumblr user calls it racist because of "Indian?" I give it to about noon tomorrow.

I don't know what it is, but the more I listen to HnC the more I like it. I can't quite pinpoint it, but it may just be one of my favorite albums ever. And for real, that line is absolutely one of my favorites.

Doing my year end lists- and realizing that SO MUCH awesome stuff came out this year. And the stuff I really dug wasn't rap. Was pretty meh on 2014 rap tbh.

I mean- I liked a lot of rap that came out this year. But nothing really stuck with me like a lot of the non-rap albums that came out.

Like, my top 3 albums this year are How to Dress Well, St Vincent, and War on Drugs. Nothing in rap came close to those albums for me.

I agree. I don't even really have a top 10. I really loved about 5 albums, I think. A lot of decent to okay stuff, but a top ten rap list for me would be basically a list of crap that got there by default. I keep listening to all kinds of stuff, but nothing is really sticking. I'm still spinning Pinatas.

I don't like Pinkprint. Her style and technique are so basic and simple I lose interest in every song by the end of the first verse. There's like nothing interesting going on with her flows and wordplay at all. Most of the beats put me to sleep with that flowery atmospheric low pass filter bullshit. The production is very cold and sterile.

The March on Washington remix album is awesome. And I'm wondering if anybody listened to the Starlito mixtape that came out right before Black Sheep?

The underlying loop on that new Kendrick sounds like something off Fantastic Vol. 2, wheew.

Flames. He better be trying to bust open some eardrums in the same way on the studio version...
