I really like it but it's definitely pretty self-indulgent, especially the end where he uses old radio interviews with Tupac to construct a fictional conversation with him. The reasons for the indulgence are expressed pretty clearly throughout, though; he's clearly struggled with how to direct his fame in a positive way and he wants to send a message to black kids and end the cycle of violence etc. Plus there's a ton of great verses, the new 'i' is a thousand times better and contrasts nicely with 'u' ('The Blacker the Berry' also works better in context), 'King Kunta' is fun as hell, and 'How Much a Dollar Cost' is a masterpiece. Might be a GKMC killer for me.

Previous Jesus posted:I don't like the beginning or the hook but I really really like the second half of u. I still listen to Wesley's Theory, King Kunta, u, Hood Politics, and the Blacker the Berry a lot. These and i are the only ones I really listen to now. I was pretty shocked at how quickly the rest faded for me.

gently caress, was meant to have DOOM tonight but he's stuck in Central America or something. Replaced with Jay Electronica, so it's nowhere near a total bust, but man

this seems like the right place to talk about how terrible lil dicky is. someone linked me to his song with snoop and.....gently caress. he is the worst soft nerdy white rapper ever in that he actually seems to genuinely believe he is the FIRST soft nerdy rapper ever, and that he's going to change the game because he doesn't talk about "the typical rap stuff". this poo poo is loving embarrassing. gambino was getting laughed at for the same thing four years ao.

Love the new Weeknd, at least until the last 4 tracks where it sorta drops off. Shouldn't really be in this thread at all because it is almost full pop now. "In the Night" is incredible.

RTJ3 is the only other rap album I was looking forward to this year. Hopefully Views will be good but I'm pretty down on Drake atm after Summer Sixteen/his awful verse on Work.

I AM BRAWW posted:What other tracks are similar to Watch The Throne (more specifically Gotta Have It) where two rappers just play hot potato with their lines during their bars, not going verse for verse like usual features? This happens every so often on RTJ2, but nowhere near enough. I hope 3 has a lot more of it actually because I really enjoy it too

I can't get into Vince Staples at all. I don't know why. Even on the Earl tracks when I can see that he's talented etc it's like ehhhhhhh. His voice might just annoy me.

Pertplus, a lot of those are just being the straight man in a comedy. If anything it's less arrogant cause he's giving all the funniest lines to other characters. But some of your examples are totally wrong - I felt the show made it seem like Van totally deserved to be taken out for a nice meal, and that him not being able to afford it was a criticism of him for being dirt-broke and not of her for daring to want to go on a date or whatever.

Pertplus posted:I actually like the show, I just think Earn is written to be the "smart guy". Which is a fine quality for a TV show character, but an annoying one for a musician. I didn't really expect it to be a controversial take, it seems pretty obvious to me he's supposed to be playing a clever guy finding his way out of an unfortunate situation but I don't like his music so maybe my perception is biased. The constant use of "genius" made it seem like you were being harsher than you were I think. The character's definitely meant to be clever, just not a total genius or above everyone else. Shame to hear about Cudi maybe spending half a year on Comedy Bang Bang drove him insane

Listened to a fair amount of 56 Nights and just don't dig it yeah. The production is undeniably great but I mostly listen to rap for flow and skill with putting lines together etc and you can't exactly say that's his forte

It took me a long time of hearing the name "Yung Lean" for me to realise he was actually some fuckin lily-white little boy from Scandinavia. How was he not beaten to death the second he stepped foot onto American soil.
