SonyGaf trolling in the Awards thread. doubt its a perm for thatNooo! RIP, JCSure it's a perm? What he do?
yeah, hopefully it's at least until February so i dont have to see the real pic anymore
Did Migos - What the Price get posted? They're pretty much 4 for 4 based on what I've heard. Looking forward to this thing now.
So, I went through a few of them and they're dope! Before I Scream and Fathers Are The Curse are my faves. When I listened to Mothers Are The Blame I wasn't sure if it was the same guy, though, lol (also, nice Chrono Trigger sample on Greg). He changed style a lot between Mothers, Fathers, and Before I Scream, where he sounds Trap-ier, at least from what I can tell after my first listens. It's still blending together for me. Needs a few more listens.
Some of the newer tracks definitely sounded straight up like Future, lol. Didn't know Fewtch had ghostwriters. What's the story behind Key? Who else did he write for?
I never did the intro thing

Listen to Jay Z's Black Album.
Jay Elec had a new feature the other day. Think someone posted it here. Let's be real, though, does anyone really look forward to his album? His feature on Coloring Book was dope, though.
BRUH
I don't look forward to his album because I don't think he's ever realistically dropping one. But if he did you can be damn sure I would eagerly listen to it.
I've given Jay Z some tries here and there. I just don't like him. I liked some songs on Reasonable Doubt. But he's just not for me. Every track I've heard from him doesn't do much for me.

Caring about Jay Elec in 2017 tho
I will listen to my Frankenstein half youtube clip half live version of Dear Moleskine until the day I die or when the CDQ version comes out, whichever comes first
the first
Okay, I think Ka is finally clicking for me - who would've thought. Listening to Honor Killed the Samurai again. Still don't have any clue what he's even talking about, though, lol. I would have to concentrate solely on the lyrics, but I'm listening more for the atmospheric vibe, right now, tbh. Sounds like DOOM to me, where I pretty much have never understood 98% of his lyrics. I mean, I remember reading about how DOOM used old-ass dictionaries for words and phrases that not even native speakers would know anymore, so how was I supposed to, especially at the age of 14/15 when I started listening to him.
EDIT: RapGenius tells me Ka's rapping from the view of a Samurai or something? Okay... Wouldn't have realized that.
Man, the beat on Illicit Fields. Beautiful.

Yeah KA is one hell of a wordsmith. But I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to him.
Not for Future, the only one confirmed is Juicy J... He's very mum about the others. Also there's a reason I didn't recommend Mother's. And Give Em Hell 2 still essential listening.

Shout out to anyone that can listen to 808s and Heartbreak all the way through. The last half is dreadful.
Have you listened to Dr Yen Lo? That's the only album of his that really clicked with me personally.
I actually gave all his albums a listen or two when GAF-Hop was hyping him so much in 2015 after Dr. Yen Lo dropped, but it just never clicked. Found the flow too monotonous and even though I liked the vibe of the production it wasn't something I was in the mood at that point in time. But seems I'm slowly warming up to it now.
Ever heard 30 keys? It's probably my favorite track of his.
Knight's Gambit is cool, but I always thought the first track was far and away the best on there and the subsequent ones disappointed me because they don't all have that same grimy, dark vibe.
It's falling off for me too just a bit, like I don't know if I'll replay it much.

Those leaks appear to be an EP with Paul White & Danny Brown. It just says its 4 tracks, the two and their respective instrumentals, but I'm in for Paul White & Danny working together.

Finally getting around to Run The Jewels 3,this album is a lot more cohesive and sounds like it has a single sound than each of the previous two (though I probably like Run The Jewels 2 more).
The beat on Talk To Me is ridiculous.

Definitely has some of my favorite verses from Doom. Production is really good as well.
