Don't know that one. I liked his last two albums. Was surprised to see he turned into a legit artist after thinking he would just be a Frat-Rapper and never following him after his first song.

I'm hoping it's more like It's Too Late instead of Views.

God i hope so, if not atleast ill have a new album to help put me to sleep. Need some 'its too late' type beats.

I guess the Weeknd, Ty Dolla $ign, and Ramriddlz worked in some capacity on the album.
Not really, but it's a Drake project so we're legally required to talk about it for a month afterwards.
This still goesssssssss

Isn't he working on almost all albums in some capacity (songwriter/producer/feature/additional vocals/etc), though? Feels like I always see his name somewhere.

Also, add me as a friend!
Listening to the new Oddisee album for the first time. I mean, lyrics are always a bit corny wih him, but the production is really smooth.
Is that a shot at J Cole on Rain Dance, though? Because I've always thought he sounds kinda like Cole.

Anybody familiar with Rap Critic? He's interesting at times to listen to, but man does he get pretentious as hell.

its a free mixtape by him. its very introspective. . .

i'm somewhat excited solely because i think this will be drake biting and ft a bunch of artists, and the dude has a good ear. views was bad because the dancehall shit was already played out and the rest of it was poor renditions of shit he's done before.
i do also believe there's nowhere for him to go but down tho

Ty can go away but ramriddlz and drake collabs are gonna be fire
Dunno why, but I'm weirdly excited for More Life. I feel like it's going to be like a true mixtape full of a bunch of different vibes. IYRTITL was similar in concept, but it felt more like a collection of B sides and stuff from the cutting room floor of NWTS/Views
The artists he's potentially Shang-Tsung-ing this time also interest me more than IYRTITL's roster of OVO Sound servants, but could also result in more eye roll worthy musings.
which is weird because Know Yourself feels like a hallmark moment in his career

the ramgod's gonna give drizzy a classic.

My condolences.
I don't abjectly hate the song, I just find the hook so grating now. There was a point where I liked the song a lot, but both that and "Black Boy Fly" have hooks that get grating after a point.
Two new Johnny Jewel EPs if you like the Italians Do It Better stuff, e.g. Chromatics, Symmetry, Glass Candy, etc.
The Hacker.
The Key.

I don't really know.
It was like, one day I enjoyed it, and the next it became a little annoying. I haven't listened to GKMC in a while now, so maybe it's just my memory playing tricks on me, but it feels like I can't stand the song now. It's odd.
Yeah, I know that feeling with some songs.
Best song is Sing About Me.
Money Trees 2nd, everything else is a tier below.
Andrew Korenchkin

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Sing About Me/I'm Dying Of Thirst wins. Brilliant song.
I used the Grant Green sample off Sing About Me for a high school mini-noir film lol, pretty great tune. And yeah Money Trees is still fresh to this day.
I can't recall any songs where I had the same experience with off the top of my head but I do feel like that has happened before. Listening to it again now, Real is still safe to my ears. The recording is kinda annoying but that outro Anna Wise sings absolves the song of any wrongdoing.

Joe Rock?
Also, I agree. Jay's verse is one of my favorites. Well, except that line about doming someone.
Andrew Korenchkin

Oh man, I forgot that Grant Green's music provides the basis for the sample. Idle Moments is such a great Jazz album.
Mhh, gonna check that album out, thanks. In the mood for some smooth-ass Noir-y jazz.
Okay, I think that was before your time in GAF-Hop, lol.

Explain Joe Rock, good sir.
I actually don't remember the origin either, lol. I think a few years ago someone here misremembered his name and wrote Joe Rock.

That's it? I was expecting something epic!
Ah well, that's pretty funny.

No no no, a publication misspelled his name on a concert venue.

Dance With the Devil is one of the most overrated rap songs of all time. It's emotionally manipulative and completely over the top.
Lol, gotta check that one out. But I assume it's a "woke" anthem or something?
Andrew Korenchkin
Member
Nah, it just feels like Immortal pulls out the ultimate "shocking" ending at the end of the song. It just feels like a ham-fisted song as a whole.
Agreed 100%. My eyes roll into the back of my head every time I hear someone talking about Dance With the Devil like it's one of the best rap songs ever.
Straight up, didn't know dance with the devil was as known a song as it is, I just randomly found it on immortal techniques album and thought it was a decent song
Nice story telling and unique at least, even though I agree it's waaaay over the top. Didn't realise it was so highly regarded by some

It's the backpack anthem, really. I'm not anti underground, considering that JMT is one of my favorite groups for one. I just think it's overrated as far as underground Hip-Hop goes.
