I still don't feel comfortable with that, but shit is needed sometimes because people don't care about the N word. Say nigger though and people feel a bit uncomfortable
No there isn't

Ever since I read Huckleberry Finn in 3rd or 4th grade (and by read I mean only half of it, the first time I read it and each time I've read it after that, I always quit at some point while he's on the island with Jim for some reason) I've held the strong opinion that it (nigger) should always be said/read no matter by who if that's what the text or conversation requires.
It always irritated me in History Class.

If you're one of those people that says the dialogue along to movies that you're watching, do you:
1) Censor yourself when watching a movie like Django Unchained?
2) Use a hard R?
Asking for personal research.

But they can say it. Why can't I?

where is young thug god damn it
LOL.
What the fuck are you on about? Never said I would say the word or just want to say it. I just don't like awkwardly skipping a word if I choose to sing along to a rap track. I don't care at all about saying the word outside of that.
Was I talking to you?

Real question is, why do you want a singing Thug album?
Why wouldn't you?
nuh pls
Thanks for the heads up on the new album, saw you post about it the other day.
It definitely starts really strong with some great tracks; on both my listens I kind of got bored at some point though and didn't pay much attention to the second half. That remake of Maps kind of loses me; the original song being 100 times better doesn't help.
The only time I remember he exists is the Dave Chappelle joke, which gets funnier and funnier with time.
Get ethered by a dude who went on to swaggerjack the same thing he dissed you for, brehs.

Is the New York Blackout the number one or at minimum top three Hip Hop historical event?
"During the blackout, numerous looters stole DJ equipment from electronics stores. As a result, the hip hop genre, barely known outside the Bronx at the time, grew at an astounding rate from 1977 onward.[7] Three decades later, Grandmaster Caz recalled for a Slate article and podcast that, when the power went out, he and his partner DJ Disco Wiz were playing records, running their equipment from an outlet in a park. At first they thought the outage was local and caused by something they had done, but realized when they heard stores closing that it was citywide. He took advantage of the widespread looting in their part of the Bronx to get a mixing board, as did other aspiring rappers and DJs. "After the blackout, all this new wealth was found by people and they justopportunity sprang from that," he recalled. "And you could see the differences [in their sound] before the blackout and after."
So many things are just erased had that never happened, legends cut short, sound shifts, evolution of the culture, rap as we know it not the same.
Imagine if DJ Clark Kent never stole his first turntables during the blackout, that not only erases his solo career, but it means he never convinced Jay to stop selling drugs/take rap seriously (which means Jay either dies, goes to jail, or quits for some other reason and lives a normal life) and help kick-start his career/develop him as an artist, which means no Rocafella, which means no more Kanye and so much other stuff.

Did you pick this event because it indirectly revolves around Jay-Z?

The Kami album is dope.
The Sorry Jaynari & A.D. album is dope as well
The A7PHA album is a nice veer away from the sounds of the above 2 too.
Good recs.

Listening again, I love All-AmeriKKKan Bada$$. Manages to do the soulful urban sound that's been popping lately without biting TPaB like a lot of albums have lately with all the jazzfunk instrumentals. Good Morning AmeriKKKa's a great opener, reminds me of the self-titled from Joh Legend & The Roots' "Wake Up!"

There are moments that come off more as grating, that I can definitely agree, but the moments that hit really hit me in that soft spot I have for melodic autotuned wailing over for atmospheric beats.
But, yeah, definitely needs more refinement before it becomes truly spectacular.
He's a good kid, yeah. Never listened to any of his albums in full, but watched many interviews where he talked about how he grew up and what it was like for him as a biracial kid.
