La Flame released a free album and it's good.

EDIT: T.I.'s verse on Quintana Pt.2 is goddamn great. T.I. has been on it all loving year.

Sorry if this was posted already but a friend just sent me this mixtape from a guy called MICK JENKINS. I had never heard of him before, but so far this is awesome and the production is right up my alley (lots of jazz influence, sample-heavy etc.):

https://soundcloud.com/mickjenkinsmusic/sets/the-waters

ninjaedit: I guess he is related to Pro Era somehow based on the producers and features listed ?

I've found the Water[s] to be my favorite album of the year so far. Trees and Truths is really good also. There's maybe one track that I'd skip on The Water[s], but otherwise it's great throughout which helps, because repeat listenings are required when you're talking about Mick Jenkins.

Calling it a more or less follow-up to Cosmogramma is quite apt. It is pretty much a return to form of the FlyLo stuff that made me a believer a few years back. It has a nice balance between meditative chill and "get the gently caress out of my way on the freeway". It also has a little more soul to it, which fills that avant R&B niche I gravitate towards when in a haze. He also threw a little Captain Murphy in there to cover more bases. Quite a solid album, I'd say.

A bunch of my friends swear by Logic, but I keep hearing a low rent J Cole. I'm also cautiously pessimistic of the direction his sound is going

EDIT: This is a pretty new video he released.

It's pretty funny that someone is trying to use Community as a means of getting people into Donglover's horrible rapping. Now that I think about it, I keep hearing from people that he is funny and a good actor but I've never seen any proof of either of these things in any shape or form.

You're completely right. Comedy is objective.

Odd future has and will always suck. Honestly cant believe so many people bought into their hype and genuinely seemed to likeany of their "artists" with the huge exception of frank ocean who is literally the only talented member of the whole group (by the longest shot possible). He makes the tolerating of all the other OF garbage members ive had to endure over the years completely worth it at least.

Odd Future is pretty important, actually. Before Tyler, I don't think mainstream America knew that black rappers could be anything but pious hypocrites. I've also noticed a slew of young black skaters, and an overall more creative/individualistic approach to hip hop since Odd Future came into existence. That isn't to say that this all didn't exist before OF, simply that this was brought to the forefront, thanks in no small part to them.

To say that Frank Ocean is the only talented member is ridiculous. There's Syd tha Kid/The Internet, The Jet Age of Tomorrow, Domo Genesis, and Mike G (I guess, he hasn't released anything in forever).

thathonkey posted:

I think you are greatly overstating their importance and influence. I honestly don't think they changed anything about hiphop (for better or worse) but maybe im just bitter, cynical, and old.

I'm not saying that they're super influential or anything like that. I'm simply saying that they're portraying a different aspect of black culture that rarely gets any spotlight. Whether or not that was intentional on their part is irrelevant, because we're having this discussion now. Maybe I went a bit overboard with the creativity part or whatever.

I'm going to be honest I don't care either way here about atheist rap but either you're the one who doesn't know what hypocrisy is or you do know what it means and you think that understanding the consequences of your actions makes you a hypocrite

And the later is so stupid that I have to think it's the former.
Wait, what? I'm confused. So if I truly believe something is wrong (as ordained by a deity or whatever), and I do it (and continue to do it) anyway, as long as I feel bad about it enough I'm not a hypocrite?
