I'll have to get my hands on the album proper but the mix on Spotify of Black Messiah isn't great, the vocals are very muddy.


e: yeah it's much better on iTunes.

new d'angelo is super good but you guys are trying to say its better than voodoo without even 24 hours passing yet. you've probably listened to it barely over 1.5 times cool your loving jets.

Gibbs & Madlib - Pinata, Future - Monster, SD - Truly Blessed, Ghostface Killah - 36 Seasons

Didn't even list it but I'm enjoying that Azealia Banks a lot.
And haven't listened to the FlyLo album yet either.

give the flylo a listen as it is one of the shortlist of must listens this year, but don't expect hip-hop, expect experimental and electronic jazz

I've listened to the new D'Angelo countless times now and I don't really get the hype. Yeah it's a good album but it's not incredible.

I've never heard D'Angelo before and it was not at all what I expected. I need to give it a proper listen or three, but man that first track rules

Y'all trippin. Black Messiah is loving masterful. Easily one of the best albums of the year. You can't blame people for getting hyped considering the backstory of D'Angelo's absence. This is one of those rare extremely long-awaited albums that actually lives up to expectations.

I wouldn't know, I can't make it through 10 seconds of the song due to that loving beat. It's the most obnoxious poo poo ever. I've skipped ahead to Zach's verse and it is pretty bad too. Could be worse but that's not exactly a high standard to shoot for. Otherwise I guess I have nothing against Zach de la Rocha per se other than that he has no business making music in the year 2014.
