It's cute how that's your favorite track from Transition.

new song

http://www.nextselection.com/joanofarc/

where classical references meet grocery bags in an erosion of the boundaries between high and low culture

"maybachs & diamonds" is awesome

"joan of arc" is dope -- every song off this project has been really great

ehh im not feeling it

yeah it's ok but i don't think there's any reason for r-les to be rapping so much

the first few times i heard Wiz Khalifa's "Roll Up" on the radio i thought it was a really disappointing new Ryan Leslie song

"roll up" is much better than this

KICKIN IT W MY BAAAAYBEEE

The only Reason why Ryan doesn't all the fame is because he worked hard to get to where he got.. !! he didnt sell his soul to fuckin satan !!

New First Single.

why is he rapping on all of these? STOP IT R-LES

the arrangement and chorus are fantastically overblown but really the verses are just him shooting himself in the foot repeatedly

nice "grocery bag" bit in the first verse...

agree he really shouldn't be rapping, plus the music is nowhere near as interesting as usual imo.

He performed this when I saw him live last summer. It's def whatever. He shouldn't push autobiographical shit

Did you see him at that warehouse on Ravenswood?

Yah

this guy was really on some shit for a year there

STOP RAPPING, R LES

new album's production is so fucking good but ugh this is sub-kanye rapping so bad

haha yeah i read some interview where he talked about how rap-driven this album is and my anticipation instantly disappeared

yeah i haven't given a shit about his music for a while because of that nonsense

yeah this is a fucking travesty, he's stepped up his production so much, this is some gorgeous stuff, if he only gave these tracks to a real rapper or sang over them instead... ugh

rappers and singers getting too comfortable doing each others' jobs is like the downfall of recent popular music history imo

for every instance of that yielding a good song there are 50 bad ones

ha that's a pretty solid theory xp

yeah i checked out his youtube channel for the first time in a while recently...terrible.

this record does not sound good to me

yeah even production is bad.

i think it's quite good, the production? what you dislike about it?

the rock guitars,the emphasis on the live drums, surely plenty other things... i don't want to listen to it again.

yeah beats ain't even hot

hahahaha

dude comes across like such a clown in this whole ordeal

hahahaa shit that seems like an onion article etc

how is this real

Didn't even know dude had a new album until Spotify told me an acquaintance was listening to it. Especially caught me off-guard because I thought this acquaintance only listened to folky NPR indie.

This isn't very good, is it.

it's awful

still can't figure out how making a youtube video promising a reward for yr laptop's return is legally binding

man this guy fell the fuck off huh
