March 23. no idea what song you've heard but "The Blacker the Berry" and the Untitled track performance on Colbert were insane. no doubt in my mind Kendrick is gonna drop another classic.

Looking forward to buy that new Ghostface and pick up cappadona hook off from last year!) this week... i just literally ain't even had ten minutes to spare to go order it on amazon mp3 indeed there are like for or five records im goimg to finally get that have been on my list for like two months!

that new Big Sean album has some nice songs. but mainly due to the features and production. Sean himself is still meh.

Yup, pretty much. I'm rooting for him, because I know he's a good kid... But usually when rappers release 3 fairly sucky albums in a row, they don't get many more opportunities. It seems like the critics are concentrating on how Dark Sky is better than Hall of Fame which was better than Finally Famous, and that this ever so slight upward trend is enough to justify his existence.

Meanwhile Kanye's never released a song that isn't fucking brilliant in 11 goddamn years, and he still takes shit from half the country.

Yeah, I'm a bit mentally ill, I'll give you that.

I tend to think Sean is great at doing a verse on someone else's song. But I'm never all that thrilled with his solo work.

cuoo!! don't have time to come here much.

can't remember what Kendrick song but ill listen to that Colbert performance later tonight.

hello. im trying to undo my life so i come here again and fuck around wit you guys sometime.

You almost make it sound as though your absence has been due to some sudden life altering personal achievement or attainment of success, rather than to a good old fashioned perm ban. ;)

But by all means, stay. We just kind of stumble around and walk into each other when you're not around.

:)

Oh, check it:

Kicking off afternoon with this bad boy right here:


Anyone else? I'm going to have to withhold comment for the time being.

life is great. alive and well and not on drugs like everyone thinks. busy. just missing having time to be alone and listen to music. new or old. trying to make some sounds myself now. again.

... staying away from the internet by choice but it hasn't been hard considering my above post.

from what i've gathered so far, the Kendrick album is rumored to be titled "To Pimp a Butterfly" and this is allegedly the album cover, or at least a part of the booklet:

Awful, awful, AWFUL cover. If that's the cover then I'm gonna be judging the album by it.

haven't heard the CanOx yet, but will very soon.

That better not be the goddamn Kendrick cover. It looks like the nonsense cover of some UK hard bass dub producer's self-released single.

Also, it's dynamically similar to the "kitchen table" cover of good kidd, with similar angles and directed focus. It will look samey next to its predecessor on the shelf, and not in a good way, like Sacred Bones releases often look alike, for instance.

I don't think that's going to be the cover.
I also don't think To Pimp A Butterfly is going to be the title, because it's bogus. Kendrick's secret weapon is that he's hard as fuck beneath that dough-eyed exterior. His flows, even his more somber and mellow ones, could easily be turned into machine gun bangers with just a sped up meter. I think he needs to *not* become the peace-lily flower child behind songs like"i."

I think he needs to stay on his toes and keep a rough and rugged air about him. He's a mesmerizing rapper, and I want to hear an LP-version of his live show, which is almost superhuman in its intensity.

Yet another rapper that reminds me of Muhammad Ali. And not just because I have way too little to think about.

Kendrick just confirmed what i posted on instagram: https://instagram.com/p/0EwnbSlecE/

y'all have no idea how excited i am!! at this moment i'm more excited for Kendrick than Kanye.

Nope awful cover. All the shit stereotypes about rap music is pretty much in that cover.

I'm just hoping the album plays out alright.

Speaking of which what are peoples fav. rap album covers?



This ranks pretty high on my album covers.

not sure how i feel about the cover yet, kinda gives me Odd Future vibes for some reason but whatever, it's just a cover. the music itself is gonna be his best and most interesting effort.

yeah this one, as well as Stankonia, Madvillainy, MM..FOOD, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Be, Acid Rap.. to name a few.
