I'm kind of bummed about Iggy. Honestly I loved New Classic. I felt like she had so much promise. Then, by the end of the year she re-released the album in butchered form and has now seemed ok w/ relegating herself to being a one trick pony. Have y'all heard "Pretty Girls"? That shit's horrible. Like... I don't know who sabotaged who, but Iggy & Britney made the worst song of the year. But it is really a bummer. I mean, listen to the emotion she put into something like "Rolex," and then wonder how she got here.
ANYWAY - this new Vince Staples is OMG good. Like, same tier as Mr. Wonderful and B4DA$$ on first listen. Which is to say, really really f'ing great, but it's not At.Long.Last.A$AP for me. But, wow. So good. Like multiple times I caught myself w/ eyes wide open, jaw dropped, goosebumps just hanging off every word the dude dropped.
