Just getting into this now (a little weird to listen to bc I submitted a bunch of beats for it in early stages, but I feel pretty detached from it now)

agreed on woke up like this, it's a jam

the new Devin the Dude album has some classic sounding dev joints

Are You Goin' My Way
Tonight
Acoustic Levitation

'Can I' and 'I'm in the Galazy' are great too

cool, excited to dig in here

new Freddie Gibbs is great, he seems energized

thanks for the heads-up on Devin, one of the overlooked great stylists in the history of hip hop

i actually like this new joey bada$$ and schoolboy song

i also thought there was some good shit on the new devin, and then i listened to "to tha x-treme" and yeah.... it's not the same kind of good shit.

it's a different album, more mournful and psychedelic i think
anyway this is great IMO, almost cloud rap vibes in some places

on first pass a lil disappointed in the cupcakke tape. too many dated tropical house beats

i really enjoy the new devin! More psych is right though not as good as x-treme is also right.

would have been better 1st single than Devastated imo. (also the record leaked)

Wow excellent find

Xp

Anyone know if the Kodak Black album's gonna get a physical release?

omg that video...love it

the cool c/steady b thing was really fucked up, just checked wiki cool c was sentenced to death but got a stay, still in prison, steady b is in life w/o parole

philly was always pretty fuckin rough

devastated was really weak attempt at riding current fads nagl for him at all 1) cuz he wasn't any good at it and 2) it seemed weird to switch lanes when he'd somehow actually had some commercial success w/boom bap throwback. new song w/schoolboy is nice cuz it feels a little bit less like duck down/black moon cosplay and modern but still nyc rappity rappin

really enjoying the album. even devastated makes more sense in sequence. god bless rap records with less than 14-15 songs.

no one talking abt Valee yet?

playboi carti is pretty great but thouxanbandfauni sucks

ILM's 2017 Rolling Hip Hop Thread Spotify Playlist

Packs by Your Old Droog is interesting... I like it.

And I said that before I heard him name-check Lemmy and Motorhead on album closer "Winston Red." That kind of thing always makes me smile.

hey everybody I listened to a Joey Bada$$ album

still kinda baffled at how the sonics of late 70s/early 80s dentist office jazz have become so popular w rap producers, these washes of synths w no attack and burbling fender rhodes chord clusters that float around with occasional horn stabs or sax riffs swimming along. I don't dislike it but it did seem like an odd sonic backdrop for like the first half-dozen songs on the album w their angrier/despairing sociopolitical-commentary rhymes. Feel like things start to pick up and cohere around the midway point w Y Don't You Love Me (lol @ "If I Was Your Girlfriend quote, also lol @ Sun Ra dialogue sample in the opening track for that matter), and then Rockabye Baby and Ring the Alarm really pull things together.

thx. thats good. checking out the album now

tee grizzley has the best album out right now

Haven't listened to the full album, but "First Day Out" is an amazing song, even if it's a stylistic rip-off of "Dreams & Nightmares."

seemed kinda boring to me on first pass idk

ill give it another shot i guess

i did like the surprise that he's a more lyrically oriented dude than one might expect from detroit at this time

Carti tape very solid so far

reminder that his album is incredible.

was just telling someone how much fun it is!

nice, that is indeed a lot of fun

420 jam

Loving Tee Grizzly. Marred by a few times when he feels like he has to do an autotune radio singing song, just feels really awkward

But yeah this as someone mentioned upthread seems like he could really step into the space vacated by Meek Mill

Man I don't know if a rapper ever played himself as much as Meek. Feel bad for him

actually Tee Grizzly is a big r'n'b fan, and likes to singsong.

“That singing puts some soul on it,” he says. “It makes it connect a little better. I like that type of music more than rap anyway to be honest with you. I like that old school R&B, it make me feel good.”
