The Boogie mixtape (The Reach, still haven't checked out Thirst 48) is definitely not what I expected going off of Oh My. Much more laid back but there's some nice tracks on it, it has a summer vibe which I'm feeling ATM.
The opening track is great, can't believe they sampled My Love by Route 94, I love that vocal melody and was often thinking about sampling it for a beat, guess they were thinking ahead of me lol. Still, a dope song.

Yeah, I peeped it yesterday and thought it was pretty nice.

Man, I still can't get over the Yes Yes Remix off the new Slum Village. So good. Great album.

Honestly, Thirst 48 has more Oh My type of tracks than The Reach. Both mixtapes are equally dope though.

On another note...

That Been That track though....sweet Jesus.

Dre has really regressed as a rapper, to the point he simply sounds like whoever wrote the verse for him.

he was always like this breh

*edit this slum village tho

Oh yeah, I haven't listened to that.

Interview with most of TDE, only missing SZA I guess?
- Jay Rock album within the next month, mixing right now
- Everyone says they're working on stuff.
- Kendrick/Q comment on Charleston shooting, emphasize pain/hate narratives I guess

Damn, they're dropping it that soon then. Guess that makes the most sense for Rock. Why hype it up.

I'm feeling good about this next batch of albums. Can't be worse than Oxymoron/These Days. Kendrick delivered again but this time I expect the rest of the camp to at least not embarrass themselves. Jay Rock's album should be dope, Q can't do worse than Oxymoron IMO, Rashad will drop another dope project.


....Ab Soul is finished tho

He can definitely do worse than Oxymoron. That album still lands in the pretty solid tier. Got some great tracks on there. He might go less commercial, I have no idea. Not sure where he is at. Soul is done; would be floored if his next project is anything more than a 6/10

Good to hear the new Meek is bangin after all these smarty pants records we've been getting this year.

I mean there have been plenty of records to bump too.

Shit Shenmue is coming so there's still hope for Detox

Spoiler

and RZA's The Cure

Shenmue still needs 10 million in kickstarter support to reach the levels of production they need. Sony isn't actually bankrolling them like we thought.

[HiResDes]

If I learned anything after listening to ALLA it's that an artist can definitely go downhill even from a commercial sophomore release. My mom fucks with Studio pretty heavy. Asked me to put the Poolboy track on her Nano. Hell of a Night or whatever it's called is irredeemable trash though.

 

[overcast]

Yeah there are some awful songs on Oxy.

Needledrop gave Vince a 6/10.

 

[MuddyDonut]

ALLA is so bad. Rocky is at his best on that first mixtape with those Clams tracks.

 

[injurai]

need... want...

Truth is they probably won't meet expectations either way. Obsidian pulled off PoE because they were an existing studio which already had a tried and true production pipeline setup. Any kickstarter that is a brand new team put together I take with a giant heaping of salt.

Dej Loaf Fist Fight with Manager During BET Soundcheck

Dej Loaf checked someone during a BET soundcheck, and the guy ended up in the ER.

The rapper, who's nominated for 3 BET Awards and scheduled to perform, was at rehearsal Saturday at the Nokia Theatre when 2 of her former managers showed up unannounced.
We are told Dej Loaf and the hired help ended on bad terms just a week ago. The 2 managers wanted to "talk it out" with her and, needless to say, it didn't go well.

Dej Loaf, her brother and her new management got into a scuffle with the old manager... leaving him with a cut forehead.

The manager went to the hospital for stitches.

Know what bothers me about Q?

Biggie and Nas, put they ass in a blender
Throw in some 50, then came out this ni**a

Really now? He doesn't remind me of any of those dudes in any way. In fact, his whole swagger on that verse just kinda pisses me off.

Definitely has some 50 in him, other 2 are just classic GOAT figures that serve as a point that he's dope.

Never met a person who talks bad about Q's verse on Brand New Guy.

Puff Daddy & The Family - Finna Get Loose (feat. Pharrell Williams)

Yeah, I'm feeling this, sorry.
The beat is dope, the "rapping" is dumb as fuck, but it bumps, it's a great club joint.

Dude can rap listened to Setbacks recently, underrated tape to be honest. His verse on that first Druggy Wit Hoes might be his best.

Pitchfork reviewed Summertime 06

Spoiler

BNM

Whew @ that score. Safe to bump this ish now. Was worried I'd have to drop it.

 

[Courage]

Summertime 06 is a good album but Vince just isn't that interesting really. Can't shake off how familiar and derivative he sounds at times. Fortunately, this is something that can be improved, as it is only his debut album. I personally felt Earl has the better sadboyz dark-vibes album this year.

Totally feel like that at times also. The album sounds really good, though, so I'm able to enjoy it front to back with that production.

Earl tries way too hard to be smart and witty and I have a problem taking him seriously since he's basically a kid. Vince sounds much more honest, you can tell he's saying what he wants to say and not what people expect to hear from him.

Eh...

I didn't get any of that from Earl's album. Interviews and tweets? Sure, I get a whiff of pretentiousness. But his new album seems like it's almost entirely focused on his self: how he perceives things in his life, how fame and expectations have impacted him, etc. There aren't really macro level statements on the album.

I won't comment on Vince's album yet because I need to sit with it (didn't have time to finish it on my first listen) but in general he's very open about shit. He makes some attempts at macro level shit, which sometimes feels lol worthy (some of his Obama/politics comments). But overall his lens is focused on himself, his hood, and the homies.

The first time I heard Setbacks I commented in the thread that he sounded like 50 Cent. Hell, half of the production on Setbacks are G Unit type beats. It's become less pronounced as he embraced the Niki Minaj multiple tone rapping, but it's still there.

Yeah, in my opinion he can rap pretty damn well for a swag rapper. Even on Oxy he has some great verses but the production and direction of the album just felt incomplete/lacking. Druggies wit Hoes, What's the word, Kamikaze, fig and betigotsumweed are all dope.

Might be wrong is a real shit track off Staples album. Brings the album to a halt quick

I actually really like that track because it's basically a Cocaine 80s interlude, and it acts as a good palette cleanser deep into the album that gets you ready for that final stretch of tracks.
