Ah, yeah... Some highlights on there but overall it's really forced. You can tell half of the shit was just said to get a reaction because that's what was fuelling Eminems success at the time. The whole "look at me" level of appeal.

this rocky interview lol
Shocking: Odd Future is pretty much dead
Going to have to give it a spin in the next few days. Gonna tell you how I feel.
Dopee.
Yeah, not surprising. They don't really make music together at all. Sort of a similar situation with TDE honestly. Just the nature of the game.

I can't get enough of ALLA. Too smooth.

Dope songs on ALLA:
Canal St.
L$D from 2:24 to 2:42
Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2
Max B
Decent songs:
Fine Whine
Jukebox Joints (except for the Ye verse)
Pharsyde
Wavybone (expected to love this one but it ended up being only ok)
Shitty songs that should have been left out:
Excuse Me
Dreams (Interlude)
Maybe a couple of others, i don't feel like listening again to check.
The rest are not bad but I don't really care about them too much.

Odd Future decline is kinda sad to me. I disliked the majority of their music, but I dunno it was kinda neat to see just some group of weird kids (+ Frank Ocean) build up a whole brand and be successful
I'm sure they had a ton of help behind the scenes and whatnot, but still.

First Impressions - A$AP Rocky's At Long Last A$AP
Listening through this felt a lot like listening through Long Live A$AP: there's a chunk of smoother, mellowed joints, some tougher (intended) bangers, and some stuff inbetween. Like Long Live A$AP it kind of goes in and out from what you want from Rocky. Sometimes you just wish x went harder, y gave you a stronger vibe/emotion or z basic rhyme didn't kind of spoil you on the song at large. Maybe it's putting him in a box and discouraging experimentation, but Rocky at his best is always creating a vibe, whether it's cooking/swag music like Wassup, fight-a-motherfucker-music like Brand New Guy, or some light introspective vibe stuff like Demons or Phoenix, and in my head I kind of judge whether I like his stuff or not based on how often I get that vibe.
Holy Ghost, Canal St., Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye II, Wavybone and I'll even say M'$ do that for me. Standouts are probably the first three listed above, but the it has a ton of okay to good album cuts that I'm cool with as well include Electric Body, Jukebox Joints (sans Ye verse of course), Fine Whine, JD, Pharsyde, and Better Things. That's a good chunk of the album that is very listenable.
Production is good enough and the features are generally good enough to bad. The Kanye feature is probably the worst this year, and I didn't really enjoy the James Fauntleroy feature either, which is rare. The Mos Def feature was kind of whatever, even though he sounds like himself. Rocky is a bit more lyrically impressive than usual, but it doesn't really get spotlighted/utilized so it's whatever. Overall, the album is cool in my books, better than I expected by a single standard deviation, nothing to write home about, but not really garbage either.
tl;dr:

This new interview with The Alchemist is fascinating guys. Talks about him and Just Blaze, cooking, going on tour with Em, dueling beats with Just Blaze at the Clash, and it explains why him and Jay never released a song. I thought it was because of the Mobb Deep beef but alc explains it in full

Dem Cash Money shots

Drizzy just letting people know the math behind "keep it 100". He's an entertainer, but he's also teaching the kids out here.

That's the face of rap though.
I'm much more intrigued by the fall of Cash Money though. All of Birdman's chickens have finally come home to roost.

For their first podcast, this was really good, they're great at keeping conversation going. Wonder why they haven't done a podcast earlier.This new interview with The Alchemist is fascinating guys.

There's a new Jewish hip-hop podcast on the horizon, watch out Rosenberg. I really want them to interview Hip Hop. You hear about this guy everywhere but he really is some mythical creature like they say. Plus you gotta be that dude if people give you a nickname or you give yourself the nickname "Hip Hop" and pretty much everyone is cool with it and respects you.

"My circle got so small that it's a period"
drake dropping quotables on quotables in that verse.
Allan Kingdom - Mandela. This is really dope, I like his rhyming style, very distinct.
Lil Jon ft. T-Pain, Problem & Snoop Dogg - Cutie Pie. Everything & the kitchen sink.
Kxng Crooked - Ashamed. Crooked's flow is like, the worst for storytelling.

Chance's name doesn't even pop up on this? That's cold.
Yeah definitely. That's 2/3 technically cause the rest don't matter. Not bad all things considered.

Let's not sleep on Domo Genesis. The boy got an Alchemist co-sign which is more than you can say for a lot of rappers
