The soul of PD lives forever.
Decent album from what I remember. I'll have to revisit it.

Pac, LL, T.I., Frank, Juelz, Future, Pharrell, Common, A$AP, Cudi, Mos Def, Mahershala Ali (technically he was a rapper before he started acting).For real, who else can you call "handsome" in the game? Kendrick and J.Cole look homeless, Jay-Z looks like a bafoon, lil wayne looks like a witch. I would say Nas, Andre 3k, 50 Cent, Common and Big Daddy Kane. Big Daddy Kane got them Idris Elba vibes.

LMAO, does Azizi really say "Yeah we party, my niggas sliding like Joycons, bitch" on "Intro"?
Does this make Azizi nerdcore then?
Jay signed a $200 million deal with Live Nation to exclusively tour at Live Nation-owned venues.
New album's definitely on the way then.

Tiller just dropped a bunch of underwhelming tracks https://soundcloud.com/brysontiller/tracks
Logic - Relaxation came on a playlist earlier and reminded me that he used to be a tolerable spitter. His mixtapes were nice.

lmao, holy hell @ the Kanye classic album argument on Everyday Struggle today.

Kanye, and his classics are better as well.
Scared to read those comments though, YouTube comments are Jay hate land.

Would Graduation be a classic because of its influence and popularity, or does it miss the mark because it's not very good at all?

the instrumentals on logic's new album are so well made. it's a shame the lyrics aren't up to the same level of quality.

I'll admit that. Some of the instrumentals are pretty good on The Incredible True Story.
But its still a pretty boring album. I can't stand listening to Logic for a long time.
Logic picks dope beats and I can appreciate some of his inspirational lyrics, but I can't get over the fact that I feel like I'm listening to the kind of music that my old highschool classmates would've made or quoted the fuck out of in the metric ton of pseudo intellectual Facebook posts they make constantly. Too close for comfort.
Can understand why people like his music though.

Who's the hottest female rapper?
My vote for Rah Digga, perhaps. I actually think Ladybug Mecca is the hottest.

Been going through Eric B & Rakim's albums again thinking about a brief discussion in this thread a few weeks ago where someone asked whether anyone listens to this era of rap. Let The Rhythm Hit Em and Don't Sweat The Technique are still incredible albums. They sound of that era, but because of the more interesting sampling, they don't sound old. Rakim's top tier across the whole discography, of course, but really becomes timeless on these two IMO, as his style got more dense, more aggressive, darker, and more political. His rhyme patterns on these albums are still hot fire.
Follow The Leader is more of a mixed bag. It's caught between traditionally 80s hip-hop sounds and the more intricate stuff they'd go on to a few years later. Makes for an album where you get both "Lyrics of Fury" and "The 'R'"- one that sounds like something El-P would make these days, and the other that sounds like B-boy stances and cardboard. Plus Eric B. (or not?) has multiple long, instrumental scratching tracks that really date the project. The drums at the end of "Microphone Fiend" though whewwww.
Now Paid In Full, this is the vintage album. Unabashedly 80s hip-hop sounds. You either appreciate this or not, I won't argue with someone who can't rock with it. Iconic, of course, but I don't know if I can call it timeless like I feel their last 2 albums are.
Going through Masta Ace next. Haven't listened to his 90s albums in a long time.

I love all of the Eric B. and Rakim albums, but yeah, the thing that usually screams DATED! is the fact that the albums seem to have these long, boring instrumentals that were obviously put there because what they were doing was such a new thing. Dated, but still rather fascinating. I still like Eric B. for President off of Paid In Full, that's a classic instrumental right there. Just old school, classic Marley Marl style production with scratches.
seen you in here posting hot sugar and he abused kitty. plenty of artists are shitty ppl

It's not a classic because the highs are high but the lows are much lower and more frequent. It's a below average Kanye album but it's still pretty decent.
This Khalid and Future track is nice.

I had an entire semester to write a literature review. I decided to do it all in 10 hours. And I even got in a Facebook politics argument with 4 pages and 2 hours to go. Just got one 1.5 page homework assignment and I'm officially done with undergrad.

Tommy Genesis is the most beautiful person I've seen in real life.
Damn near fell out my chair when I heard Kendrick on a Knxledge beat. Knxledge is my work soundtrack, must have played his albums for weeks/months in total.
