Turns out that pushing Carter V back was all part of Birdman's brilliant plan to get Wayne hungry enough to drop good verses again

Fwiw I thought it was a cool track, at least enough so I'll actually probably download his mixtape. Didn't really expect it at all.

Also I told you dudes Wayne still had it. He had already picked it up a bit on IANAHB2, and his recent singles/feature work has been really solid. Hopefully his album (in whatever form it takes) won't disappoint

And Can Ox actually released an EP in the last year or so, I listened to a song and it was "ok" but sounded a lot more generic 00's NYC underground than Cold Vein. If you like that kind of vibe it's not terrible, but Vast Aire has always been kinda a basic punchline rapper which without anything else can wear thin. Vordul had my fav verses on Cold Vein but his solo stuff was always just blech.

good, good poo poo. the trinidad james track is alright too but i probably won't bother with his mix tape. i mean i still haven't checked out lupe yet. anyway i'll always love james for the 'all gold everything' film clip which is one of the most absurd things i've seen.

I'm curious how you can listen to that Trinidad song and feel the need to defend it.

FKA Twigs: I'll be generous and say I like 2 of her songs. People I know feel the same. The rest of her music is a spectacle and couldn't exist without the visuals. But even her music is more music than ALLAU$.

This is more melodic than ALLAU$

I think alansmithee mentioned it somewhere but B4.DA.$$ is surprisingly enjoyable throughout. The production is obviously old-school but it's varied enough to avoid boom bap monotony and Joey himself tries a bunch of different approaches on the mic. Summer Knights was kind of boring but this is just really solid stuff. "No. 99" in particular is great.

I'm sure Bobby Shmurda has had a whole lot of singing lessons and does vocal exercises daily to be able to rappity-rap for the entire length of a live performance :jerkbag:. Of course, it's the same thing as the guy who has been playing guitar for 20 years.

I remember reading that Outkast actually used to do a regular exercise where they'd run laps while doing verses so that they had an easier time performing live without getting gassed.

Wayne and Lupe are angry as poo poo at their past label and album situations and are back in hungry mode right now. Setting the bar real high already is so good.....

Im in the same boat. I know a lot of people liked "I" and maybe that other one but I can't get into it. The black contacts, the coolio haircut, it's all weird to me. If his next album is bad I'm gonna turn on him pretty hard.

Kendrick has built up a lot of leeway with 3 good to great releases in a row. I think it's too early to call it on one mediocre song. I really do hope he doesn't drop something lovely though. I feel like he pretty much can't though. Even TDE albums that aren't great usually have a good tone or direction or whatever, the songs just don't all come together right.
