Well, I sort of retract my original statement on Reflection Eternal. Will definitely listen to this one over the next few days.

A lot of these hooks are terrible, though.

Frank Ocean clapping back at the grammy producers
OK KEN (AND DAVID). AS MUCH AS I HATE TO MAKE YOU GUYS FAMOUS OR EVEN RESPOND TO YOU DIRECTLY. WE ALL DIE ONE DAY AND YOU’RE OLD SO FUCK IT. YEA YEA MY 2013 PERFORMANCE AT THE GRAMMYS WAS ABSOLUTE SHIT. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, BLAH BLAH. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. FUCK THAT PERFORMANCE THOUGH. YOU THINK THAT’S WHY I KEPT MY WORK OUT OF THE GRAMMY PROCESS THIS YEAR? DON’T YOU THINK I WOULD’VE WANTED TO PLAY THE SHOW TO ‘REDEEM’ MYSELF IF I FELT THAT WAY? IN REALITY, I ACTUALLY WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN HONORING PRINCE ON THE SHOW BUT THEN I FIGURED MY BEST TRIBUTE TO THAT MAN’S LEGACY WOULD BE TO CONTINUE TO BE MYSELF OUT HERE AND TO BE SUCCESSFUL. WINNING A TV AWARD DOESN’T CHRISTEN ME SUCCESSFUL. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO LEARN THAT. I BOUGHT ALL MY MASTERS BACK LAST YEAR IN THE PRIME OF MY CAREER, THAT’S SUCCESSFUL. BLONDE SOLD A MILLION PLUS WITHOUT A LABEL, THAT’S SUCCESSFUL. I AM YOUNG, BLACK, GIFTED AND INDEPENDENT.. THAT’S MY TRIBUTE. I’VE ACTUALLY BEEN TUNING INTO CBS AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR A WHILE TO SEE WHO GETS THE TOP HONOR AND YOU KNOW WHAT’S REALLY NOT 'GREAT TV’ GUYS? 1989 GETTING ALBUM OF THE YEAR OVER TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY. HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST 'FAULTY’ TV MOMENTS I’VE SEEN. BELIEVE THE PEOPLE. BELIEVE THE ONES WHO’D RATHER WATCH SELECT PERFORMANCES FROM YOUR PROGRAM ON YOUTUBE THE DAY AFTER BECAUSE YOUR SHOW PUTS THEM TO SLEEP. USE THE OLD GRAMOPHONE TO ACTUALLY LISTEN BRO, I’M ONE OF THE BEST ALIVE. AND IF YOU’RE UP FOR A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CULTURAL BIAS AND GENERAL NERVE DAMAGE THE SHOW YOU PRODUCE SUFFERS FROM THEN I’M ALL FOR IT. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.

Jay Z/Diddy at the Roc Nation brunch today, funny remembering that there was a time when he wouldn't even let Jay Z use BK's Finest as a single:
"No shots, but I remember being on the phone once again begging for Puff to let Big rock on a single and video, and Puff asking me, ‘Yo, what the eff is a Jay-Z? I can't get Clive Davis to clear Big on some unknown rapper's record."

Caroline is a trash song tbh have no idea how it blew up

Production sounds like a loose ass hair tinging across an acoustic guitar and his voice sounds like a vaselined young m.a getting his ass eaten

Smh

Man you're supposed to be the banger guy and you can't even appreciate that?
 
Why is Kanye one barber visit from looking like an actual black skinhead? Is that the joke?

In other news, I'm very ready for a new Roc Marci album.

Bring them back. These garbage ktt threads I'm seeing are so bad right now. The 14 year olds are taking over

Yeah, I would love that myself. People are always complaining about how difficult it can be to sift through tons of albums on Bandcamp trying to find the gold, but those threads are useful in giving us the goods.
I think his just posting new stuff in here regularly is good enough. I mean, what's the difference? Saves himself the time.

Right...sorry I don't believe him, wether he would have won AOTY or not (not over Lemonade, but he may have knocked off Bieber or Drake or Stirgill). Anyway there is an argument to be made about 1989 winning over TPAB. I wish TPAB had won, but I can't exactly be mad that 1989 won.

Id love to hear that argument.

The only argument I can think of is "it's the Grammies so obviously they're gonna choose a white girl over a scary black man"

Well besides the commercial factor, the album did produce five hit singles (3 #1's). I would also argue at least in my opinion that it was an extremely great album, not as good as TPAB, however the commercial success could push it over the edge for a win...or the Grammy's were just being racist fucks as always.
