after C3 he dropped Rebirth which was shit, followed by the mixtape No Ceilings, which was the last good thing he's done. Wayne is incapable of rapping like he used to. :( such a huge difference between Carter 2/Dedication 2/Da Drought 3 and Sorry 4 the Wait/Carter 4.

all those soul samples and that psychedelia production on the carter 3. that's what i like.

anyway..i think i've heard those carter 3 sessions.

The Dedication 2 is my fav mixtape by him too. first one i heard. he can be completely absurb and bland but amazing because of his confidence. more than any of these weird/swag rappers.

Dedication 2 is where he mastered his free associative and energetic, yet soulful and laid-back sound.
"money money money get a dollar and a dick/Weezy Baby that crack, muthafucka get a fix". shame he's just a fraction of this now.

i think you'll love Curren$y. he was featured on most Wayne projects back in the day, however now is doing his own thing with the same weed-money-bitches shtick.
start with Pilot Talk, i'll be surprised if you won't dig it. i couldn't take it off the cd player in my car for months. the production is so good that it makes me feel high and i don't even smoke.

Funny, that is exactly what I've been doing with that album! The kids ran me so fucking crazy yesterday that I locked myself down during my prep period with that album on youtube to meditate and help right myself in the world..

today, I am absolutely sprung on Mazzy Star and Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions..

at the moment, its Bavarian Fruit Bread from 2009, such a mercilessly kick ass fucking album, how does this East LA waif of a chicana touch my soul so directly with her music? and that guitar work, be it Mazzy or the Hope solo stuff, brilliantly emotive without being emo

Grizzly Bear, Veckatimest.

Now I'm listenin' to a Merzbow playlist. I just kind of need to keep it down so only I can hear it.
