Louder you were right, Common's new album is pretty extraordinary. Really the best thing I've heard from him since Be. Only instead of being soft and cuddly early-Ye soulful like Be, it's this gritty sonic assault. Reminds a bit of TPAB actually.

Beautiful "Black excellence" music. The only thing that's giving me hope right now.

there's this dude I work with. he's mostly nice and all but he loves that song "Trappin out A Mansion". he's cool and rock and roll when drinking and smoking but, when he hits that crack rock it's "Trappin out a Mansion" and nothing else matters and he continues to play every stupid fucking song from this Young Dolph ass hole. he ungodly turns into a dumbass asshole bi polar jack off. and I hate him and his favorite shitty song. I tried to talk him out of smoking rock. but..... the crack is too good. I can even smell the cocaine when it burns. he tells me he like's hip hop, I tell him he's a shit head crackhead.

....methhead music for crackheads. you crackhead. this is what I have to put up with. and you support it and you should die!

Just bought this:

Kanye is on "The Killing Season" (though not in the credits)

!!!

REAL! It is a great album. Common was really inspired and passionate for this one.

About to start listening.

talk bout some mug fuking Tribe and shit! nigga yall be listening to some crack head music.

"Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow
They are extensions of instinctual soul
It's the highest in commodity grade and you could get it today"

Wow.

Busta is killing it like it's the 90's all over again.

This album is perfect.. futuristic..
Exactly what I expected.

So Childish Gambino is doing psych-funk now. I never liked him before.. but if his new album is anything like that first single, then it's gonna be AMAZING.

Meh.

yeah I'm kinda like... when he dropped "Bonfire" I thought it was incredible. And still do really. But I've never even sat thru a full Gambino album. He's got some good verses or wahtever but I'm just not really that interested.

I always hated his rapping and just wanted him to make an album full of singing. So I got what I wanted. I'm happy.

This is where I'm coming from:

We just got a NEW ATCQ ALBUM.
An unqualified racist reality star pussy groper is our soon-to-be Commander-in-chief, and he will turn the remnants of our democracy into a full blown political oligarchy.
I don't have the time or evergy or air to spare on someone as minor and ultimately trivial as Donald Glover. I want to hear Kendrick shouting from rooftops. I want ATCQ. I want Common. I want music that's going to restore my faith.

No offense.

I won't be able to hear the Tribe til tonight. Obviously you'll get me thoughts as soon as I can haha.

Fair enough. The new Tribe is insanely good, basically on par with their first 4 records. And To Pimp a Butterfly's influence is all over hip hop and R&B now.

New Tribe is great. Fairly certain it's a great album. One listen hooked me, silenced all my fears.

Easily better than 90% of the hip-hop albums of the decade.

They done did it.

After a few listens.. this album is pure eargasm. Seriously. Ahh.
