so I bought the A$AP rocky album (long live a$ap) on impulse because it was super cheap after reading about yams for the first time on GAF yesterday anyway I think its awesome even though there is a skrillex song and two chains is on it.
are there any other A$AP albums I should get? I like LVL, Hell and 1Train a lot, some of them are sort of like 90s meets cloud rap or something

If you guys want a legitimately great throwback record, listen to Statik Selektah's album from last year.

SS isnt bad at all but I feel it's too much "been there, done that" with him
Probably my fault for listening to a bunch of his albums at once at one point
Probably a good place to ask. Been listening to De La Soul's Buhloone Mindstate again and enjoying it. Doesn't take itself too seriously while also having a relaxed and at times jazzy vibe. Any similar records to recommend? Something along the more calm lines of ATCQ's Low End Theory and Beastie Boys' Ill Communication.

Media Takeout is never right about anything. I can't see Jay wasting money on a radio station. It would be interesting if private investors did buy a station though, simply to see how they'd manage it. Would it continue to be a slave to Nielsen or would they give the station space to play other shit. Why major rap stations don't play classic rap continues to baffle me, especially with the recent emergence of classic rap stations.
I listened to a lot of radio stuff last summer and it was amazing how repetitive if was. The playlist felt like it was 20 songs, half of which were produced by Mustard. Songs like Loyal were being played once every hour like clockwork. The "throwback joint of the day" was often a song like Niggas In Paris or TI's Whatever You Want. In short the station is trash.
It's a poor business model, especially in an era where everyone has easy access to songs on their phone. If your ringtone is Loyal and you're on of the millions of people who bought the single on iTunes, do you really want to hear the song once an hour on the radio all summer?
There's probably something in here for ya.
Also Doppelgangaz, something I should have included in that post above.
all the de la soul albums

It was just one verse breh. He's still Azor Ahai reborn.and this is why I never understood the hype. when he slows it down he is ok but people were acting like he was the second coming of big baby jesus.....
Statik's problem was never that he makes boom bap or "throwback" music tho. It's that his shit has a very low ceiling. Generally he makes a decent partner for when you're on the come up and want to make a cohesive good sounding boom bap album but overall his highs aren't very high. Even the people that like him can't name 5 of his beats off top that are their faves, in my experience. I like him, but I've never had one of his beats stuck in my head for a day. Even a wasteman like Puff Daddy's been able to accomplish that for me.
Dude just doesn't stand out like that.
Download LiveLoveA$AP. It's better than LongLive
Learn how to link breh, you always do this. Don't let me catch you doing this againYo Gotti's mixtape dropped
Only listened to the Kevin Gates track and it's pretty good
Like really good
Not what you'd expect from that trio either (Gates, Gotti, and Metro Boomin)

Statik is that midtier producer. He's the guy people buy beats from on the come up, then promptly forget when the label is defraying the bill for better guys.
Agree with Esch about Statik. He's good at what he does but overall he tends to have a lot of middling material. I rarely hear a bad Statik beat but plenty are just ehh. He makes a lot of boom bap that doesn't really "boom."
People really slept on his album with Gibbs but I thought that shit was dope. Many great beats on there.
In terms of his albums I still think 100 Proof is the best. Haven't listened to the new one though.
Hus Kingpin and Rozewood tooIf y'all want throwback that's what we have Roc Marciano for
