Pharrell seems to be going all pop on this one.

as opposed to the entire output of his music career?

lol. his first album had a lot of pop for sure, but also a lot of hip-hop, he was telling stories about his youth in the hood on some songs, and had guests like Snoop, Jay-Z, Slim Thug, Pusha T, etc. he said he won't be rapping on the new album though, and the features are as poppy as it gets.

he has the clout to pull in the big stars.

I honestly love "Happy." It literally... makes me happy.

In My Mind had some awesome shit like "Show You How To Hustle." Yeah. Y'all heard Out Of My Mind w/ Quest Love?

I love N*E*R*D* though. For real.

Also, The Neptunes Present Clones is incredible and such an underrated album.

"Swimming Pools" is the new "Say It Ain't So."

Thoughts?

great post. CLONES is insane. i love Pharrell.

"We will not be the losers."

finished listening. 7/10

i really like Gangsta, Studio, Hell of a Night, Break the Bank and Man of the Year.

there have been a couple of better West Coast rap albums in the last few years.

cool I'll listen soon dood

by the way, a couple of years ago i told you i didn't like We Are Young Money album.. well, now i love it. :p

you should. It's really good. Haha.

Watch 2 Chainz Peform "Outroduction" With The Roots On 'Fallon'

2 Chainz' last album is actually a pleasant surprise. i was sleeping on it when it came out.

the singles are crazy. on the last couple of tracks tracks, he starts getting all mellow and introspective, like you'd never expect from him. their instrumentals are beautiful as well.

new Denzel Curry single is really psychedelic, it already seems like his new album is gonna be on another level than Nostalgia 64: https://soundcloud.com/denzelcurryph...adium-starship

until some good shit gets dropped this year, I really have no business posting here.

new Vince Staples, SpaceGhostPurrp and Migos projects are dropping this week.

i think that the new Vince Staples album will be right up your alley.

new SpaceGhost what???

new Snoop mixtape drops tomorrow BTW

--

i just bought Mysterious Phonk yesterday. one of my fav rap albums from the last few years.

the Purrp is out Friday right?

yeah.

both Pharrell and Ross albums are out for stream on iTunes right now.

Mastermind seems to be exactly what i wanted from God Forgives, I Don't.

the new Migos tape goes hard, their sound is addictive. http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes...o-label-2.html

disappointed by Pharrell's album.

so Ross' album is on Oxymoron's level (in my opinion), a few really good songs.

can't wait for Vince's tape. expecting it to be the best rap project of the year so far.

new Snoop song from his tape, produced by Madlib: https://soundcloud.com/rappcats/snoo...illacs/s-knrmi

EDIT: meh.

Now I'm the only black in the club with rich Yuppie kids
Sad thing, this is the top, but where the hustlers went
No familiar faces around, ain't gotta grab the musket
It's all safe and sound, champagne by the bucket

Friday

where's Spaceghostpurrp's tape???

..AAAND IT'S OUT!

YG - My Krazy Life (March 18)


The album begins with "Momma Speech Intro" a 15 second intro of YG's mother screaming o
ut to him, warning him that he "better not be outside with them gangbangers." This sets the tone for the rest of the album, as it is filled with skits that reenact moments of YG's life.[22] "I Just Want To Party" features fellow Los Angeles rappers Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. The song is notable for featuring a collaboration with rappers affiliated, with the Bloods (YG and Jay Rock), and Crips (Schoolboy Q) street gangs. However, the song aims to put affiliations and street politics aside to do just party.[23] On the Ty Dolla Sign-produced "Really Be (Smokin' & Drinkin')", YG and Kendrick Lamar rap about using substances to numb the pain.[24][25] Lamar justifies his affinity for alcohol and other vices by detailing the messed up things that’s happened to him recently, including the death of his friend Chad.[25] The album closer "Sorry Momma" is an ode to YG's mother that features a gospel-like chorus sung by Ty Dolla Sign and a soulful saxophone backed instrumental created by Terrace Martin.[26][27]

uhh.. not really feeling the SGP tape.

wow, listening to Mastermind in better quality and sheesh it's great. Ross came through. gonna cop it for sure.
