Wave Gods is pretty good. Doesn't touch the pure tidal wave concentrate that is Mac & Cheese 4 Appetizer, but it's good. Both French's and the guest hooks/melodies + production are really on point.
Standouts = Intro, Sanctuary Pt. 2, Figure It Out, Groupie Love, Jackson 5, Lock Jaw, All Over
February's been ridiculous.

The eternal GOAT. 🙌
Monday for me then.
Ehh, The Ruler's Back, Takeover, Renegade, Blueprint and maybe Girls, Girls, Girls is all I fuck with.
top three rapper of all time
I've enjoyed this quarter so far
Anderson Paak
Future with Purple Reign & EVOL
Young Thug, I'm Up
French Montana, Wave Gods
And I'm still yet to listen to TLOP, Lushlife and Wiz Khalifa album.
And it's still only February.

Jay-Z at his best is unfuckwithable.

I've never delved into his non-classic works though, i went to with Vol 1 and...yeah, that did for me.
Gave it a rinse, going to give it a proper listen either later on or tommorow and i'll post some thoughts on it before Monday. I'm not the wordiest breh so it won't be super in depth or anything but i'll give you an idea of what you can and can't expect from it.

Black Album
American Gangster

Btw, just saw there's a new Vice docu about a Japanese rap crew:Andrew Korenchkin said:
AKAZUCHI ー 沖縄 ヒップホップ男塾 (Full Length)

Seems less Trap-inspired and more Boombap-y from the bit I saw, haven't watched it fully yet.
That Paak album is so garbage and boring my god I don't understand how anyone can be into that
Both of Future's tapes are like light 7 material
I'm Up is pretty good, I'm not sure I like it as much as SS2 or Barter 6 though
Wave Gods, so far, aight
Wiz Khalifa's album is garbage
TLOP Graduation tier, maybe slightly better
Lushlife barely qualifies as hip-hop, it's pretty interesting, not sure I'd call it good
Underrated, very good, just needed a couple more bangers to be great
Really liked it.
What did interest you this quarter?

My dusty "I only listen to lyrical cats from NY" friend's favorite rapper is French, but maybe I'll give it a shot.
U wot m8
I'm guessing he's got those videos of French battle rapping on repeat in a YouTube playlist.
My top 5 so far would probably be Purple Reign, EVOL, TLoP, USELESS and I'm Up.
I've only listened to TLoP a couple times though, I'm sure it's going to grow on me a lot. There isn't much on there that I don't fuck with, but I'm just waiting for it to click with me cohesively like Yeezus eventually did. I definitely feel like the last few tracks should be seen as bonus tracks, I'd cut it off after either Wolves or 30 Hours. Both sound like great ways to end the album and fantastic songs. I love No More Parties in LA, but the album doesn't need it. FACTS is meh, don't hate it but it certainly shouldn't be there and Fade is amazing but should've been slid into the middle of the album somewhere. But yeah, if it cuts off after Wolves or 30 Hours, I think we're talking about a much more cohesive and unified project, probably a 9/10 for me.

My friend comes from an immigrant family, says he identifies with French Montana. Listens to rap from NYC almost exclusively, regardless of quality. Don't know what else to say.

French isn't lyrical at all though

basically what I was trying to say is my friend has bad taste, loves French, people here seem to be digging the tape and I'll give it a listen regardless of not having the same taste as my friend.
