For those who consistently listen to complete projects as they are released, how and where do you do so?

I listen to a bunch of albums and mixtapes in the whip on my commute, but I feel like I'm not fully appreciating them, as the car isn't necessarily the ideal listening environment for most music. Obviously some shit, like a UGK album or a Future tape, is great to bump, but a lot of other shit may be better experienced at home or with headphones. The problem is that I don't always have the time to play entire albums at home, so a lot of potentially great shit gets underappreciated.

At home. My on-the-go playlist when I'm commuting on train rarely changes because I don't have Spotify Premium yet and pushing files on my old-ass phone is so buggy (I don't care enough to get a new one, lol). It's still basically 60% Future (DS2, PR, EVOL, and Monster), which I for an inexplicable reason only listen to on my phone and not at home.

I'll listen when I'm at the computer just fucking around or playing games, when I'm cleaning the house on my system, or I can definitely listen to some deep introspective shit while I'm driving...I don't find it odd at all.

It depends.

In my case, because I'm a student, I can just listen to 2-3 albums a night while I'm knocking out homework assignments. Somedays I don't feel like listening to new things, other days I feel like making a dent in my backlog. I'm usually always next to my computer when I'm working on my homework, so the routine normally goes pick an album, put my headphones on, and listen while I grade papers or do math homework or write an essay, etc etc.

I'm guessing as I head into the working world that routine is going to change dramatically, but for now at least, I'll enjoy it while I can.

My first listen always has to be a walk alone at night, I remember doing that when TLOP dropped, downloaded, went right out and didn't look at my phone the enter time, just walked around and danced/got hype in the streets/sidewalks/parking lot.

Yup, same here as a student. Listening a lot while studying.

First couple of Midnight Marauders listens: so good. It's weird, on Spotify 'God lives through' is greyed out for some reason, no idea why. Low End Theory next tomorrow.
Isaiah Rashad is more of a slow burn, but I'm getting into it. 'Stuck in the mud' is my favorite track on The Sun's Tirade so far.

Same here. I have a desk job and there are days where I listen to a lot of music at work. It helps me concentrate too.

It's not as well liked as the other two, but it's my favorite rap album ever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's an amazing album. Also check out their 4th album: Life, Beats & Rhymes. Not as good as the first three but still a solid record.

At home, at school, I find time to listen to an album three times before making a decision on it

Is 50 Cent a Suge/Baby tier villain or does his near sociopathy and destructive behavior in terms of personal relationships such as with his son as well as his previous underdog status keep him more pitiable than hateable?
If he was a character in a comic/book what would be the theme behind his career?

Eh....neither. I don't think 50 is a sociopath, at that.

I don't either, well i'm not sure, I just think using near sociopathy is a quick/decent way to get a quick picture of his behavior and demeanor across.
Still can't believe he sent French Montana to videotape DJ Khaled's mom while she was sleeping.

Wow, I see.

On a positive note, If You Must....I remember this song from Tony Hawks, and it's still a great song. Only Del could make a song about personal hygiene and make it work.

Man I think this is my favorite release in a while. I'm not familiar with any of the other members besides Key but these guys have some great chemistry. Really nice melodies going on here.
Favorite track right now is probably Used to Be Down. That chorus is catchy as fuck.
