bless up to all of this (Tree of Life is definitely one of the GOATS). good times.
ovo season definitely was great up to If You're Reading This. but 2012 tho...maybe i'm biased because I went to OVO fest that year but that summer belonged to 2 Chainz and Drake. bitch you wasn't with me shooting in the gym was a god tier quotable too.
I'm surprised Stay Schemin doesn't have more views on YT and stuff. Even the video that's there is potato quality. It was also off Rich Forever which was seemingly big at the time.
It was kind of a moment, not the biggest moment, but a moment. One of Drake's clearest, most direct shots at a vet in the game. That and the Canada Dry shit made noise, but imagine these songs releasing nowadays when shit like Back 2 Back rang across the globe.
Even though we definitely had social media back then, the proportions stuff is blown to today is even greater.
EDIT: Yeah shooting in the gym line is so memorable even to this day but.. it doesn't feel like that song got it's due even though that was a moment.

Yeah, if that song had come out now in the instagram/meme generation that quotable would be on t shirts and hats bruv. 2012 isn't so long ago but a lot has changed since.
Suns Tirade was one of the best TDE albums so I'll check out that Kweku Collins after hearing that comparison.

I actually forgot how much I like the second half of Nat Love. Ghost, Death of A Salesman, 1:30 Curbside, The Outsiders
idk, both projects are dope.

Elfen Lied is shit.
There was a great video posted in OT about a trope dubbed Born Sexy Yesterday that fits it to a T. Only good thing about Elfen Lied is its opening credits.

Article of the year, MM is 👑, white on top of black:
"Eminem is the Greatest Rapper of All Time And Youre Too Pro-Black to Admit It."
https://medium.com/@SNOBHop/eminem-...-youre-too-pro-black-to-admit-it-df0d9c7688db
Genius.
Nah, I love narratives like that/things when chance meetings or openings come together, so the blackout is textbook perfect.
Jay was a tie in because I thought the Clark Kent fact was fun.
I know that episode exists, but I haven't seen the show, first time I heard about the blackout and Hip Hop's role in it was when I read this book:

I found myself bored with The Good Fight, maybe I'll listen to this one?
Not sure you will like this one then. Who knows, give it a listen.

Thanks, I shall. Probably end up listening to something else after a few listens.
I've had enough convo, for 24
I picked you from across the room, pretty little thing dancing like go-go ay
Hot with your body, hot with your clothes
Love all of that, wanna give me the pose
We're eating in 2017 brehs, so much tropical BBQ music (Unforgettable, Blem, Passionfruit, Body), countless bangers on top of that, some great downtempo songs sprinkled across these projects that are otherwise filled with bangers too, and shit even some decent boom bap with this Joey, and on parts of the Kenneth Lamar and Goldlink albums.

If the lyrics aren't caps locked, I won't even bother googling the song, sry.I've had enough convo, for 24

Yeah, he definitely is corny. But I like his production.
Kool Keith says too many rappers kill their albums with feature overloads
Dare I say that Kool Keith sounds bitter

Freebasin eighteen pounds of coke with Marvin Gaye
Put that on the table, let's parlay
With Smokey Robinson and Bootsy, lightin aluminum foil
Watch that crack pipe boil
With Richard Pryor we burned the house down gettin higher
Don't think I'm bluffin
Meet Tommy Lee Curtis, Keith Richards, Eddie Kingwards and David Ruffin
Rick James was in the kitchen lightin the flame
And Mousey's trapped with Cuba Gooding Sr
I don't want nobody to know my name
I kept glasses on it was a damn shame
Losin weight, fallin out in big arenas
The same guy who used to deal to me
Deals to Whitney and Bobby, meet Ike and Tina

Damn, that's a great verse.
I felt the same way listening to this as the first time I listened to an entire Busdriver album, very eccentric and hard to digest at first. It is good.
I feel like I'm stuck in a hip hop rut right now a little bit. How do you guys typically find new albums to listen to?
I've been doing a combination of listening to the recs in here, going back to classic hip hop albums that I haven't listened to yet, and crawling through the top releases on bandcamp.
Any other suggestions?

This Ryuichi Sakamoto is nice.
It's a great palate cleanser with its minimalism and its focus on ambiance and space.

I liked his score for The Revenant, so I'll definitely check this out.

Damn, Sonic Rush OST is pretty damn good.
22 games into the Sonic listening session.
His prolific nature....doesn't that kind of impede the quality of his catalog? I can't imagine releasing so many albums and keeping up the consistency would be likely, but I'm sure this means he can release more albums that have a chance of being good.
