Scary that Confessions is 10. Usher lost me after that. 8701 was one of my fav albums as a kid and most of it still stands up.
listened to Madvillany at work today. it's crazy how the production hasn't aged at all. in fact, it's more at home with today's rap production than ever before. an album truly ahead of its time.
and, yeah, I used to be *the* biggest Usher stan until after Confessions (side note: those abs of his didn't hurt how I felt about him when I was 14 haha). I have that on now and it's still a solid album...might have to throw on 8701 and My Way after this.
cocaine piñata will be the rap AOTY...unless future dethrones it with honest.
don't suppose anyone's listened to the yg, kevin gates, or vince staples tapes/albums that came out recently?
Madvillainy is 10 today.
Seriously. It's so fucking addictive. Every listen sounds fresh, almost as if I'm hearing it for the first time. It's essentially perfect as a whole.
U Got It Bad was probably my favourite song for a whole year, up until Without Me dropped.
Kevin Gates's newest is pretty good. Think you'll like it if you dug Luca Brasi.
Amazing. Great album.
Really like Madlib's blue note album and the album he did with J Dilla
You persons ever listen to his younger brothers beats? Oh no?
oh just some hippie who's been in ghost mode for way too long
good to see you! and you'll be happy to know that i pay for far more music than i used to
I have completed the entire rateyourmusic top 100 for hip hop. Moving on to jazz next.
Takeaway points:
-Hip hop is a great genre
-Pete Rock is the man
Cass I saw a British comedian last week called Doc Brown. He used to be a rapper but has become a comedian and actor, he's worked with Gervais a bit. Anyway part of his show is about hip-hop and how he has turned on the genre. He's got some pretty funny rapping ad-libs, but he entirely dismisses modern hip-hop, lumping everything in together, using the guns-drugs-bitches-money etc arguments, and I sat there so conflicted, because he's a funny comedian but for a bloke who tells the crowd he's open-minded he's damn ignorant about modern hip-hop.
