I actually liked If You're Reading This It's Too Late but no one's going to argue that Drake is good here, probably.

It only took me 3 years, but I think I'm finally ready to admit that my longstanding opinion that To Pimp A Butterfly is trash was too harsh. It definitely ain't trash. I don't think it's as good as good kid, m.A.A.d city or drat. either, but it's absolutely better than I initially gave it credit for. I don't know if seeing Black Panther recontextualized this for me or what, but I really appreciate its radical embracement of blackness in America in a way I didn't before for whatever reason.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I still think TPAB has too much filler and goes on for too long. It could've had a few tracks axed (like the interludes) and would work much better. drat has a better flow/works better as as cohesive album for me no question. maybe it is a little too long but i think the better tracks on tpab are much better than the better tracks on drat., plus there's a lot less of the stupid poppy pandering poo poo in tpab. it seems like it has a purpose i agree that GKMC is better than either album though

It tells a very cohesive story SSJ_naruto_2003 fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Feb 22, 2018 |

It tells a very cohesive story gkmc is also extremely cohesive (and very, very good) but the story it wants to tell is less ambitious than drat by far. additionally, drat needs zero skits except for the spoken word intro (which is pretty much the only 'skit' i have never skipped) and achieves total coherence by thematic content of the careful track arrangement alone.

Drake WAS good. IYRTITL and Take Care are good and you'd have to be some sort of contrarian to say otherwise.

Fun reminder that FUTURE dropped a year and 5 days ago, which means HNDRXX is 2 days away from its anniversary. And a few more days after that when some of us, such as myself, believed he might drop a 3rd album on Ellen lol Also, The Booty Tape was a slept on release. It’s not groundbreaking but it’s fun, catchy, and sounds great! https://youtu.be/wkVgapj25W8 Thanks, Ugly God!

I am working through Jay Dilla's discography and influences/people he has influenced and wanted to know if Common's album "Finding Forever" is worth grabbing. Reading wiki, the whole thing is a dedication to Dilla with Kanye chopping up the beats using Dilla's techniques. It sounds like it would be great to grab but sometimes these things fall flat. Any other Dilla recommendations (or tributes to him) would be much appreciated!

MrSargent posted:Can anyone give me good albums to start with for A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots? So much music, so little time. The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders are the obvious Tribe choices. The Roots have had a number of different sounds that are all worth exploring. I would say Things Fall Apart for the classic, jazzy sounding Roots, Game Theory for their darker phase and undun for their modern phase that flirts with indie rock at times. Or listen to Phrenology and get a little bit of everything. They have very little material that's less than excellent.
