Nothing like being touched by an old white man.
Why do you think he had Rubin around? It was the only time he could reach his happy place.
You love it. Don't lie.

kinda tight, but i have no idea what that record is going to be. "sometimes" was kind of a mess. more drugged-out stream-of-conscious raps please
Needle drop did a video on various issues in rap. The Changing Color of Hip-Hop.
It's pretty long, but he makes some good points.

don't judge my struggle wrecker of nets
that last album was my only exposure but i loved it, was meaning to ask PD or one of ya'll - there's tracks on that album that like early Cocaine 80's totally sound like they'd work on the radio, i think...why y'all think that never happens?

Probably just a complete lack of promotion. I think his sound could play well enough though. Maybe too bouncy for the US?
Wassup is my shit and my friends vibe to it. Not sure I would play it in a bigger environment though.
Meh. Who gives a shit. He made a long video dealing with an issue that needs a lot of time. He is a dude who talks about music on the internet, of course he gets redundant and goes into length.
Mr. Cee does an interview with Karlie Hustle (also formerly of Hot97) about how things have changed and how he is rehabilitating since being caught with transgender prostitutes. Seems like he's better from the way he talks.

For the most part, the Ghostface/BBNG album works. Much of it is the kids showing off just how fucking talented they are on the boards, but Ghost does lace worthy (and in some cases, meaty) verses on all but 3 songs, which take up about 7 minutes of the total 33. The second instrumental though, Stark's Reality, was crying out for Ghostface bars. It's a real shame he didn't jump on that one.
Street Knowledge was the only joint that outright disappointed me. It wasn't necessarily bad, but it was a little boring, and sorely lacking the character of the rest of the album. Nuggets of Wisdom had a rare, introspective, almost solemn verse on his faith, though it only contained that one verse, which was a shame as the beat deserved more than what was effectively just an intro to the next song Food, where, in fairness, he drops some of his most humbling bars ever. Mentor-rap; has he been listening to Ka?
Those are my first listen impressions anyway. What's here is really good, but I wanted more.
As long as he keeps Kaytranada and Louie Lastic close, I'm happy.
edit: got my black armband on for Football-GAF *pours out pint*

Mostly agree with this, especially the bolded. I like it, just wish I liked it more considering my love for the parties involved. And I still feel like Ghost sounds a little bored here (and on 36 Seasons too) but maybe I'm being unfair to a dude who is 44 years old and has been doing this forever.
Either way, BBNG does some great fucking work here. Probably worth copping for that alone.

^lookin good man, i wish my shit was nearly as well kept
cue wenis to pop in & put our shit to shame though
solid review, was waiting on one to be posted - i played it twice today so far and yeah, that last line sums it up for me too. i'd really dig more like it.
the don showed up with them recently so it's not beyond possibility but nas rapping over el-p's fire is something i just can't hype myself up for
i mean there's several tracks on RTJ2 that i'd love to hear that rapid fire shit, even some of the stuff he did with damien marley would work there

this hot sugar is fantastic. Barely even hip-hop, but still
I think Nas and el will collab.
not host, band leader. Complex is also wrong that he's replacing Watts on the podcast; he's replacing him on the tv show but the podcast doesn't even have Watts on it.

This is pretty cool: in light of Drake's album release, Huffington Post talks to Lyor Cohen, Mike Dean, B.Dot (of RapRadar), Mike Gruber (sp? of Billboard).
- Lyor doesn't think "no promo" is a thing, as it's simply traditional advertisement methods are antiquated, and 24/7 connection with fans and anticipation is the promotion
- Lyor thinks the fear of leaks is the biggest factor when it comes to this industry shift
- Lyor thinks the advantage of spontaneous releases is that you can "ring the bell" and have everyone focus on the music at once instead of wading through a bunch of opinions (sounds obvious but I never really looked at it like that until now)
- Lyor says you can't get to that point until you have built trust with fans over years, Beyonce's meticulousness is the reason why its possible
- Lyor thinks the more power the fans have, the healthier the industry
- Mike Dean argues that leaks devastate artists creativity when demos leak, later mentions artists always go back and change something to make it fresh for the art as opposed to solidifying sales, references the MBDTF situation
- Gruber seems to imply that Drake taking his shit off of Soundcloud was a message in the vein of "hey this could have been a mixtape, but now it's a release"
- Gruber mentions that releasing an album this way actually leaves little to (probably) nothing that the label has to do
- Mike Dean mentions it isn't really a joke when albums leak, artists including Madonna and Ye still get mad.
- B.Dot thinks this will be the new trend for A-List releases
- Mike Dean thinks the traditional 3-Month rollout is dead (Yeezus 2 surprise release?)
- Gruber "Instead of artists being subservient to the distribution networks, the distribution networks have to come to the artist," mentioning how radio didn't know what Beyonce song to played
- Mike Dean thinks these spontaneous releases will emphasize creating bodies of work and the people have control of what becomes a single as opposed to the suits having that decision
- The host mentions that promo tours caring more about stuff surrounding the artist kind of interferes with interest with the music
- Gruber paraphrasing Beyonce "The marketing behind a record seems to dictate more than the record itself" (I feel this is true and that I'm guilty of this influencing my opinion TBH)
- They discuss if Kendrick could do it with his new album and everyone agrees that Kendrick could push an album out spontaneously and do 300-400k
- Mike Dean is working with Vic Mensa
- Lyor doesn't think "no promo" is a thing, as it's simply traditional advertisement methods are antiquated, and 24/7 connection with fans and anticipation is the promotion

feelin hyped for Mr Wonderful, bumping blue chips & rare chandeliers today
Thanks for the write up Enzo. Beyonce fucked the game up. Seems like this model would definitely only work with the artists that have significant public support and a strong fan base.
Yeah man. Definitely feeling like it'll be one of his better releases too. PT3 is probably my most hyped "coming soon" album though.
