So... it's pretty telling that nobody has said a word about the new Joey Bada$$ album,
All-American Bada$$, that came out like two weeks ago. In 2015, this thread was pretty stoked about
B4DA$$, as forgettable in retrospect as it may ultimately have been. I think the engines that once powered this thread are failing a bit, but hopefully I'm wrong.
I've listened to a few tracks, and I just don't really hear anything particularly special or interesting.
Anyway, here's the cover or something:
It's pretty sad when there are so few hip-hop artists out there that can really hold anyone's attention. There was this album and that new Lupe Fiasco joint, and they were just GONE, almost before they arrived. Even Future's albums have failed to hold interest.
The new Kendrick is a work of art, and Frank Ocean is doing some crazy and interesting stuff, but the genre isn't really in a very good place over all right now.
