That's oddly sweet. As self-hating as most of us are in this thread, I'd rather have Psych's hot-takes and Andrew's stream-of-consciousness posts than nothing at all. This thread is really one of the only reasons I post on GAF, and I enjoy discussing new projects with people. Plus, the recommendations people post here are dope as hell, like that Abra EP Cheddahz posted earlier. I like this community.
Damn, I just realized that Mind of a Gemini was something that Deniro put out this year. I think I remember hearing about it dropping, but it must have slipped by me. How does it stack up with his previous work? I enjoyed Cliff of Death 2 last year, but it was no top 10 album like The Patriarch.

This is fucking grimy as hell, love it. Net_Wrecker, you weren't kidding when you described his beats as being menacing.

Just don't treat games like a to do list. I mean, I've got a lot of games I know I'd like to play but that doesn't mean I'm going to make myself play all of them. Don't turn your fun time into a chore.
I usually have one or two single player games and a multi-player game in my rotation at any given time and then when I'm close to beating one of the single player games I decide which one I'm gonna replace it with.
Also helps to not really care what the latest and greatest game of the week is. See what sticks before going out and buying shit. If people are still talking about it 6 months down the line, it might be worth picking up when you've got a free spot on your rotation.

I just play one game till I get bored then switch to another. It's a stupid way of playing games, but I enjoy it more. I have so many games I need to finish, but never do because I get stuck or lose interest.

If you are of South Asian descent and you don't like mangos, your South Asian pass is revoked, so you'll be banned from all Bollywood movies, Indian restaurants & supermarkets, and mithai till you learn to love it.
If you want to play a game, play it.
If you don't, stop playing.
If a game is not fun, stop playing it, never look back. Don't have backlogs.
Never be in a rush to play a game just because it's currently hot, play it when you have time and the opportunity. Don't buy any game that you can't immediately spend time on. Don't buy a new game if you have another game you just bought and want to play, but haven't yet.
Play games for you.

Sage advice. In particular your second advice. I've bought games before used that I returned after playing them for a couple hours. I really don't have a backlog, either.

These are my hard rules. Once I get bored with a game or it can't hold me for whatever the reason (even if I liked it), I drop it and don't look back. My backlog is a cemetery.

With PhoenixDark gone who's left to pontificate on the quality of Kendrick Lamar's stroke game? Now that I think of it, he's probably lacking in that regard.
Her body got that ass that a ruler couldn't measure
and it make me cum fast, but I never get embarrassed
I climax where you begin and then I end on cloud 9
He has a clear predilection for cunnilingus though, which sort of makes up for it.
Yeah PD would start some good discussions.

I've been thinking about the atmosphere in this thread for a while but I haven't commented on it as I'm a relative newcomer and mostly a lurker, so I didn't feel it was my place to say. But as it's being talked about, I may as well share.
I like to keep up with this thread to see recommendations for new music, but I never feel much desire to talk about anything in depth as the style of discussion here seems to be more interested in shutting someone down with a dismissive one liner or gif than engaging with them. Perhaps because it's a hip-hop thread people feel they should have a more aggressive attitude? Which should be a part of it, in a positively confrontational, passionate, back-and-forth, but instead I more frequently see a hostile denial of depth.
I feel like if I was to put time and thought into writing about a topic, I'd mostly just get a bunch of single word/sentence replies and memes. So while I appreciate this thread, and especially the imminent AOTY votes which brings out real effort from the community, I don't see it as a thriving forum for discussion.
But maybe it's my own fault as well for not engaging with the sort of depth that I want to see in the thread. It's hypocritical for me to complain about a lack of effort when I'm not putting it in myself. But either way, those are my thoughts on the thread, everyone please meme me to death now.

So nobody's gonna talk about that GOAT tiny desk concert by Gucci Mane on NPR? Props to Zaytoven on the keys btw. (Link for the uninformed: http://www.npr.org/2016/12/06/50459...aign=nprmusic&utm_term=music&utm_content=2040)

Probably Jeffrey or Blank Face right now for me. Still need to listen to the new Tribe album.
Why is the last song on We Got it From Here Thank You 4 Your Service titled The Donald? Im tempted to relate it to the US president elect due to the albums release being so close to the election, but it isnt a political song. There is at least one explicit reference to Trump on the album by Phife in Conrad Tokyo. The Tribe has a history of incorporating social commentary into their lyrics so its not a huge stretch to believe his possible election was on their minds while they were recording. Theres no way they settled on that name, mastered, and recorded most of the song in the roughly two weeks between the albums announcement and release. Throughout the song there are audio clips of someone saying Donald that sort of sound like theyre from a newscast (but again, I could be imagining that because Trump has become embedded in the public consciousness at this point). If Clinton had won the track title would have seemed even weirder.
Theres a very good chance that Im overcomplicating this. Phife refers to himself as Don Juice in his verse. He did the same in his guest verse on Push It Along last year. Hes probably just presenting himself as a Don Juan type of figure. Maybe the group meant it say Regardless of what happens on the 8th, Phife Dawg will always be The Donald to us?
