Glad I'm getting around to listening to DS2. Shit is fire and definitely one of the 2015's best rap albums.

I was late on this one as well. It was the moment I realized Future just isn't for me. Prior to that I had listened to 56 Nights and Purple Reign. There are only a handful of tracks among all three that I like. I do REALLY enjoy Commas and March Madness.
Sarcasm. I personally didn't listen to it in full until I was a teenager (late 00's).
I've been listening to Lil Ugly Mane and UGK almost exclusively for the past two weeks. Finally got around to listening to Oblivion Access and Ugly's poem/verse in the last two minutes of "Collapse And Appear" keeps flooring me. That and his feature on Antwon's "Rain Song". It took me a while to explore his shit beyond Mista Thug Isolation, Uneven Compromise, and Sleep Until It Hurts You, but I'm glad I got around to it.
Anything interesting in that dark but also braggadocious and Southern lane coming out lately? I guess Southern isn't a requisite, but it'd be a bonus.

That Kanye tracklist has me rolling.
People actually think they'll be a track called "Pikmin 2" on a Kanye album. Nintendo's copyright lawyers are going to kill the shit out of that tracklist.

Andre giving every artist he bumps into features but he still won't record a solo album 
Better to have your fans constantly call you the GOAT after every time you drop a guest verse instead of releasing a solo album and disappointing all of them.Andre giving every artist he bumps into features but he still won't record a solo album

Just watch, Andre going to drop Speedin' Bullet 3 Heaven and wow the world. Cudi'll be known as the GOAT for inspiring 3 Stacks to get back to work.

I'm ashamedly late to both of these parties, but holy shit "1992" and "iiiDrops" are good. I'm digging "iiiDrops" a lot more as of now, but these are some really dope projects.

Haha. He couldn't even use Theraflu as a track title. I'm not sure why anyone took that TurboGrafx-16 tweet to be anything other than a joke.
Cole is about to bless the word with a weedplate
Was it as hilarious as this?

Going through a bunch of 90s albums I haven't heard and hitting few I've already heard along the way.
Re-listened to Lifestyle of Da Poor and Dangerous again to start off, I'll never understand the praise for L, so much weak songwriting and eh rapping, nothing on this or his posthumous albums justifies it in my mind, only his freestyles really.
Gonna listen to "Deep puddle dynamics-the taste of rain why kneel" next.

His rapping doesn't seem like much for me to write home about, especially when it compared to the people they commonly try to place Big L against.
Didn't get much from his punchlines either, no better than what I've heard from other rappers.
This albums to me sounded as though L was perpetually stuck in that early 90s style where they just figured out how to be really lyrical but the abc is still constantly present (which makes sense considering most of it was recorded earlier and only released in 95 because of label issues).
And I would be fine with that if his posthumous material on The Big Picture was any better, but it was only slightly better songwriting wise and still stuck in the past.
I mean Ebonics (ugh that chorus) is interesting as a lyrical exercise, but songs like Lyrical Exercise or 22 Two's or Backseat Freestyle do so much more with the rappity rap song concept.
Ebonics is like Common making Watermelon in 99.
There were only a few moments that made me say "oh", otherwise I got substanceless punchlines with a bunch of early 90s/awkward sounding lines leading up to them on repetive tracks, the tracks honestly sounded juvenile (writing wise), especially when he tried to get "real"/"concious".
Oh and there was like 4 songs where half of the content was giving chicks aids on each track.
My favorite moment on the album was probably how he named one song "Big L" and had the climax of the song be him saying "This is The Lifestyle of Da Poor and Dangerous", it was really creative and I always love moments like that (think Jay's sorta 3rd wall breaking mafiaso shout outs on Bring It On).
I've listened to this album like 20 times trying to get him though, so maybe it's just not for me.
