Anyone listen to Wu-Block yet? Thoughts?

I feel like I'm gonna need a solid, official, full length Wu studio album pretty soon or my brain might explode. I haven't been keeping up on news much, aside from seeing them on my Facebook news feed, so maybe some shit is in the works and I don't know about it. I hope so, because these side projects and solo ventures aren't really hitting the spot. And I don't need to hear anymore Wu - mash up's.

Seriously, bring tha mutha fuckin ruckus.

um... look a little further up the page.

I was going to say something about not having read much of the thread, mostly out of laziness and exhaustion, but I was feeling too lazy and exhausted.

It is a good album, and I've been playing it a lot.

Now I'm the only black in the club with rich Yuppie kids
Sad thing, this is the top, but where the hustlers went
No familiar faces around, ain't gotta grab the musket
It's all safe and sound, champagne by the bucket

went from "I don't know if I feel this Kendrick Lamar album" to "this is fucking album of the year" pretty rapidly.

word, that album is amazing. groundbreaking. emotional. positive.

i like how at least half of the tracks have that classic WC vibe.

probably my 2nd fav rap album of the decade so far, after My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

louder did you see Kendrick doing "Swimming Pools" w/ The Roots on Fallon? It was nuts.

watching it right now. :D

forever

1. wtf is yr problem?
2. how is GOOD KID not postitive?
3. I need to be a rapper to have an opinion on hip hop?

jump to 2:33 ...shit's hilarious.

not available from my location. :(

TDE are gonna kill it next year, mark my words. Schoolboy already said Good Kid inspired him to step his shit up.

shitty quality, but you'll get the gist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDHxZKmJgmY

whole skit is funny, but jump to 2:33 first.

I don't think it HAS to. I hate political music anyway. But I think this album is positive in the sense that it's a lot about peer pressure and decisions and well trying to be a "good kid" haha.

ps, seriously though. I like talking to you when you converse like this. But sometimes I feel like yr dickish to me for no clear reason.

hahahaha funny.

i ignored a few posters here for this particular reason.

alright that's fine then. BLA BLA BLA haha.

as far as the Kendrick album goes though... for me more than anything I think the beats are incredible. I love the production on taht album so much. And his delivery is ridiculous. I just think it's such a high quality album .

Jay Rock's verse on "Money Trees". oh lord.

louder, I'm trying to make a list (so I can make a mix) of every Jay-Z/Kanye collab track that isn't from Watch The Throne...

don't forget this gem then:

new Lil B tape titled "Glassface". probably his best shit since God's Father. great beats all over. plus he freestyled over Cleanin' Out My Closet, One Mic and more.

what do you mean?

i ignored some people like Dreke, Cake, etc cuz i'm already too old to deal with some internet hate. wasn't talking about you.. you're cool (even if a little harsh at times lol).

funny.

i can take some criticism tho.

there's a line between that and blind hate.

i hate anyone who hates me. but i also acknowledge that they only feel that way cuz i'm better than them.

in a way that's what's great about it no?

universal.

the kids hear what they wanna hear. The drunk, blunt, bitches. And the older dudes hear the deeper shit. It's good on any level, any age.

OK so Jesus Piece is the weakest major label Game album. But I still think it's *good*... just not as good as the four preceeding it. And no surprise, but "See No Evil" w/ Kendrick is the best track on there.

"Hallelujah" is dope too. "Freedom" samples MF Doom. Or was it produced by him? Sounds diff than his original Herb track.

yeah, i thought it was worse than RED. didn't wanna ruin your fun so i've been waiting for you to hear it first.

that Ali Bomaye beat goes so hard though.

yeah I mean I'm saying it's his weakest, but most of my iTunes tracks are tagged with 4-stars... 5 of the 15 are 3 stars. I mean still pretty solid. But just not up to par with the rest. I think I liked RED more than you did too.

what the fuck man

new chief keef is so fucking dope oh my god

yes. Hate Bein' Sober!

i love this new wave of R&B artists.

Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Miguel, How to Dress Well, Jhene Aiko, etc.

awesome stuff.

I'm not a fan of Frank or The Weeknd but I love HTDW. Jeremih has a new mixtape out I've heard some of it and it's dope.

Rhythm & Bullshit

Hip Hop is dead as disco.

Dude, I seriously hope you are tripping. I haven't heard this album yet, but I just barely saw it yesterday when I was shopping for the family and I WANT IT! The Game has always hinted and tip-toed about conscious and indeed Christian music, and as a conscious person I need that reflected through my art. This seems like The Game finally went out there, and for no reason other to than to be honest and hold it down, put out a conscious album reflecting his spiritual reality. The youth need to hear that. It has to be about something with substance, something with hope, something transformational. I hope this album is one of those moments for mainstream rap music..

Ok, UPDATE, I just listened through a chunk of it, and I ain't hatin. Could it be better? Yes. The beats are better than shitty Red album though for real. Bit more westcoast throwback like we're used to. It is a bit too damned horny and pussy oriented for a conscious album, but fuck it, that is rap isn't it..

And like typical Game, the consciousness is subdued, in the background, foundational. However, its there, and in the world of shitty substance lacking music, this can be a step in the positive direction like when Tupac sang, "Who Do you Believe In?"

I still like RED better. But that doesn't mean anything. This is easily in my top 10 albums of the year dood.
