Hip-Hop Evolution sucked, didn't even get indepth to how it evolved really. Didn't even talk about the impact women had really

Maybe it was just a hassle trying to find the real Roxanne.

Streets left me scarred, ain't no worries
Run my money up in a hurry
Thirteen strippers, James Harden
Money make you greedy when you starving

I had enough convo for 24
I peep'd you from across the room
Pretty little body, dancing like GoGo, hey
But you are unforgettable
I need to get you alone

Perfect response.

Also, All caps text.

Nothing on Prima Donna is as good as Lift Me Up.

 

[Dereck]

Prima Donna had weird rambling segments like wtf

 

[LionPride]

Today was actually my first time listening to it, I like that song a lot. ALong with Lift me Up

 

[torre_avenue]

Boi, if you're telling me songs like "Smile", "War Ready", or "Big Time" aren't as good as some of the stuff on Summertime, we're going to have a fight on our hands.

I can agree though, that compared to the absolute highlights on that album like Senorita, Norf Norf, Summertime, and Jump Off The Roof, it does pale, but its still a very very good EP.

 

[Bronx-Man]

prima donna fucking sucks

 

[Syphon Filter]

Finally got to hear Damn and it is good but kinda sucks too. I am disappointed since I expected more, his worst album I think easily. Not a lot of tracks stand out or I feel strong about. I will need to hear it more times to make sure though. I enjoyed joey's album more on first listen for both.

.

for sure. there's a few pretty good songs on there. Summertime 06 was a high bar for him that I'm not sure he can top though.

They're not. It's not that good, it's a damn mess and all over the place.

Sonically? Yes, but that's because I see it as Vince wanting to hop onto different sounding beats and try out different rhyme patterns and what not. "Prima Donna" isn't meant to tell a story, I interpret it as Vince just trying different shit other than the murky dark beats of Summertime '06. It also explains why he hopped on beats by EDM producers.

Conceptually? Yeah, I suppose. There is a dissonance between the darker lofi interludes and the more braggadocious songs, but honestly, I find the individual songs themselves strong enough that they make up for the interlude bits that ruin the flow of the EP a bit.

Overall, I just like the EP for its variety and the strength of the songs on their own.

Feel free to disagree.

Don't think Staples has a better release than Stolen Youth honestly.

The Seven By Talib Kweli, Styles P is a great album. That's all.

Definitely underrated, my second favorite

Any way to catch the kung fu Kenny Coachella performance tonight outside of periscope? The audience will have had a full extra week to remember the lyrics.

After finally listening to Damn a few more times I can confirm that the only parts I enjoy are a few sections on Duckworth, maybe a few parts after the beat switch on dna,and everything on Lust until Kendrick says "we all woke up".
I don't believe his lyrics are good at all for the majority of this, or at least they don't hit me, gonna write a bigger post on my issues with current Kendrick lyrically.
