i.. just couldn't get into it. i'll give it another listen, i suppose.

I dont know dood. Scratching my head. I think this album is pretty legit. Give it another go with fresh ears. Listen thru my ears if you want. :D

lol, well i didn't really expect you to like that tape.
there are some real crazy tracks on it though.

louder, wouldn't it be easier if we just ignored forever's posts altogether?

yeah sorry forever, you're too harsh. it's breaking our hearts.

NR, i'm in love with Big Sean's new tape. all og prod. possibly my fav rap project of the year so far after Life Is Good. and i didn't even like his latest album that much besides a few tracks. it's dope as fuck.

yo, remember when Tyler murked the One Beer beat? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB_C9OMxyEg

oh man I forgot about the new Nas album too. Damn.

i just didn't like the few tracks in the middle (6-9) with the wack r&b hooks. i replaced them with the bonus tracks, which all happen to be album worthy material, and now it's the rawest album ever to me. that 2nd verse on "Stay" is too fucking real. i'd also recommend you to get "Trust" which is like the 20th track on the iTunes japanese deluxe edition or something, pifftastic.

and you're right, it's so mature. rapidly turning out to be my 2nd or 3rd fav album he ever made. it's amazing to see his development from Illmatic to this.

Nasty the niicest

i've been bumping Cruel Summer all day. New God Flow's final version is fucking awesome. Kanye, Pusha & GFK all spit flames.

can't wait for Cruel Summer.

...

off topic in here, but louder, I realized I don't htink I've ever heard you talk SY. What are yr favorite albums and all that? Just got curious.

i'm afraid Cruel Summer is gonna be even more divisive than 808's. i mean, people were expecting collabs with Q-Tip and Mos Def, at last we got 2 Chainz and Chief Keef. with that said, i like it a lot, like every other project Kanye has ever been involved in. it surprises me that Cyhi actually spits some of the best verses on the album. now that i think about it, i like his verse on So Appalled too.

-

well, Sister and Daydream Nation are absolute classics, two of my fav albums ever. i also find A Thousand Leaves and Murray Street beautiful. Washing Machine is really cool. Sonic Nurse rocks. their early stuff - Confusion Is Sex, Bad Moon Rising and EVOL are all fucking great. what else? oh yeah, Trees Outside the Academy is a total gem.

Rather Ripped and The Eternal aren't bad by any means, but they got old after a couple of weeks. :(
though i think they've never made an album where i don't like at least a few songs.

Beyoncé - 4 and Frank Ocean - Channel Orange have been on heavy rotation here lately.

i thought they were good when they just came out, but now i finally realize they're great.

haven't nabbed Channel Orange yet, but the song Ocean did on the VMA's was amazing. I liked Nostalgia Ultra a lot too.

that nigga gay

i'm starting to appreciate Vol. 1 & 2 more. lots of gems there. some of Hov's deepest songs.

the more years go by, the more I think Kingdom Come is a better album than I originally did.

mug shot reminded me... new Fiona album is legit.

ok, so I love Cruel Summer. Seriously. Great album. I mean maybe not Dark Twisted / Watch The Throne great. But great regardless. "Mercy" is easily my favorite hip hop single of the year.

!!!

must spread rep.

fuck rep. Shit's fantastic. I KNOW a lot of dudes are gonna sleep on this. My friends that are not really hip hop fans, but like Kanye... they aren't gonna like this. Haha.

TRUUUU, most people are just going to listen to it once then say it's meh.

Cyhi killed it on both The Morning and Sin City. i'm really happy for him. he seems like such a cool, down to earth guy. and his tweets are the greatest of all time.

• "To let everyone know I wasnt on 'mercy' because I can't afford a Lamborghini i like my music to be truthful!!!"
• "I haven't had a girlfriend in 8 years but hey I'm at peace and don't have no kids my wife it's going to have no baggage from me!!!"
• "I have no friends"

lulz that's hilarious.

I've watched teh "Mercy" video so many times. Unreal.

my little brother called me last night like "have you heard CLIQUE???"

haha.

my wife was feeling Pusha T's verses most -- made her listen to the record on our commute home from work toniight . :)

Pusha never lets me down. New God Flow is a 10/10 track. i'm glad they added Ghost. might've been the best verse on the whole album tbh.

omg man -- you don't know how great it was hearing Ghost on that track. Just amazing. And it's like 5 mins in before he comes on for his verse. Insane.

i've been listening to Pac's last three + Greatest Hits all day, i love him ofc but i still kinda wish Killuminati would've been what it was originally meant to be:

^what's the story with that pic?

great album.

the original artwork for the album. dissing Biggie, Puffy and Dre. quite crazy. also, some tracks didn't make it to the final version, which is a shame. but the album is still gr8, as you said. nobody sees Pac when it comes to implementing emotion into a song, charisma and mic presence.

that art is insane. I kind of thought that was just like a bootleg made by "some guy" y'know? I can't believe they intended to really put that out. Wow. 7 Day Theory is one of those albums that has REALLY grown on me over the years. Like when it first came out I felt like it was just OK, but nowadays I flat out love it.

a lot of folks complain about all the posthumous-Pac, but I was always glad to get new material. Sure it wasn't all great -- but thanks to releases like Better Dayz or Until The End Of Time we got a bunch of above-ground releases (read: way better sound quality than those bootlegs) of the extremely interesting/prodigious Makavelli period.

god-tier rap this year: Life Is Good, R.A.P Music and Baby Face Killa.

highly anticipating Kendrick's album.

remember when 50 thought he could fuck with Nas, and then Nas came up with this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu-1y_8m97Y

Fat Joe ethered his ass, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3_n1U-7FBs

Did you actually do a new mix? I'm too busy/lazy to scroll through and see. Repost please!

nope sorry, but now that you're back i'll do my best to fight my laziness.

Jesus H., it's been like FOURTEEN YEARS. I constantly take hiatuses, that is no excuse to fuck off on your duties. Do you know how much I've been looking forward to another volume?

I'm crying. CRYING.

i'm sorry. :( will an e-hug suffice?

I'm not generally a hugger, but this time, I suppose it will do. Only because you look like Josh Charles.

shit, i need to quit rap and launch an acting career.

Yes, you do. I'm still considering stalking you.

the Score

Y'all simply GOT to feel this album. Combine it was Dead Prez Get Free or Die Trying and you just might go on jihad yo!
