Thanks for tipping me off to this. That was a good read. Sadly pretty much what I expected.
Lushlife / CSLSX is nice.
Is this the same Lushlife from Plateau Vision, if so I'm in

I can't listen to it just now, but that is a dope cover.
Yep

That 616 shit. Cult Mountain >>>
Lee Scott's recently said Cult Mountain 2 is finished as well, what a time. Hopefully it's a bit longer mind.

Blowout Comb is some nice summer nighttime background music. Bahamadia has a smooth voice. Haven't listened in a few years though.

Drake would come by and just help, no strings. Future also came by to write. We all got new shit together that's gonna drop soon.
man for 2 ppl that work together so much they dont actually have a lot of shit released.
Which two? Only other instance I can think of Ye working with Future is with Pain.
I don't think Drake and Ye work together consistently, only when they are in the same place (Toronto after Yeezus Tour, Paris, LA recently). They're probably trying to nail that collaboration and make sure it lives up to the hype. At least that's what I think after he jumped on Blessings to create buzz because he said it would be the first time they're on a track together in a minute.
My guess is that Drake took the track with Weeknd and Ye, though who knows what permutation of that exists today.

Listened to the new Aesop Rock song. I think there's less wow in terms of the music, but the rapping aspect of it is as good as he's ever been. He's seemed to also tone down the roughness of his voice from Skelethon, which I thought sort of hampered that album a bit. Regardless, I know I'll most likely think his next album is excellent, since Aesop Rock is one of those rappers that never fails to engage me. Sometimes you just have those personal artists.
Yeah, I can't do Aesop Rock either. It's not only his delivery, but some of his 'hard hitting' commentary is absolutely on the nose and cringeworthy.
Interesting. Hopefully shows up on Views.

Nas just announced that Mass Appeal will release the new J Dilla vocal album called The Diary (aka The MCA album). It's got production from Dilla, Madlib, Pete Rock, Bink!, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Karriem Riggins and more.
Check out more here, including The Introduction: http://www.rappcats.com/j-dilla-the-diary/

I think I like Busdriver even less, but that last Busdriver album had some tracks on it, especially the DB one
Wait, so what's the unreleased Pay Jay album with Dilla rapping over other producers' beats (even one from Kanye - We Fed Up) that I've had for years?
Semi-EDIT: Ah, okay, seems like some of the ones I've had are on the new release, too, plus others, which I guess were remastered only now.
Yo, how have I never heard of that album? Giving it a listen, right now.

I don't understand why someone would bother to write comments like this.
Chill I was being facetious, well kinda

I have to agree. Billy Woods is in heavy rotation right now and I thought I was done with this type of rap.
Aesop's garbeldygook does nothing for me nowadays. Though I have been tempted to put Labor Days on and see what happens. Bazooka Tooth was too much.

Sorry, it's sometimes a personal peeve of mine at times though when you go into music forums, with a natural interest to converse with people about music you like, and you get a bunch of conversations that had nothing to do with the intention of such. Yeah, it's a public forum and it's not a big deal at the end of the day (STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE/STOP DISLIKING WHAT I LIKE!), but honestly, I'm not really interested in convserations like this that go almost nowhere. I just want to find other guys to talk about music I like. Which is why I completely ignore anything I don't have an interest in in, I just don't have time to pointlessly talk about why we don't like and like music that other's like/dislik,e, like we will change each other's opinions.
It takes a lot for me to write a negative comment. Like...somebody who thinks Soulja Boy is good music. Soulja Boy is absolutely shit. Worst rapper of all time.

Now you're trolling
Seriously though, does anybody actually still like Soulja Boy? He disappeared off the face of the Earth kind of. But wow, is Crank That awful. Snap is like the dumb child of Crunk and Trap; it has none of Crunk's energy or vitality and absolutely none of Trap's grittiness or griminess.

Andrew, chill bro. I remember getting all angry about getting hazed by Drake stans when I first started posting in here.
What's wrong with Sugarhill gang

Yeah, I'm getting into it as well!
Ah well, sorry I'm getting a bit uptight, I just do take rap VERY seriously when the time comes, since rap can be both for fun or can be seen as a medium in which artists bleed out their souls onto the table for all of us to pick at (Hello Kanye West!). But I don't get or shun stuff like Kurtis Blow, or any sort of fun rap, considering Run DMC is killer and their music has absolutely no attempts at delivering social commentary. Sometimes, that's the best type of rap, rap that entertains and makes you feel good, and there's no need for social commentary or any attempts to be serious.
Anyway, commence getting low.

Don't worry, I'm better at brushing off comments about music, anyway. Really, it's music and everybody's going to have a different opinion about it. I never understood why people get upset about disliking music one likes anyway; I mean, it's not even your fucking music. Kind of weird how heated art can make people.
Personally, I just can't stand genuine exclusion in any genre sub-circle, and it's sadly more prevalent than some people think. Despite our differences, we all love rap and want to share music so we can deeper our knowledge of the genre.
