Always interesting to see how these algorithms work, I feel like I rarely see people glazing every little thing Kendrick does, but somehow I end up seeing all these posts bemoaning “but his faaaaaans “…the wonders of curating a good feed I suppose

 

I’m just so happy that after 15 years I don’t feel like I am the only one

You must not know my nephew

 

Yeah I’m not following random teens on the internet you’re right about that

 

He's 27 or something lol

I honestly don't think kendrick is big with the teens anymore, his crop of rappers is really for people that were teens last decade or older

 

I checked out the playboi carti album but it’s too long and it’s better than whole lotta red so that’s about all I care about it

I don’t think I’ll ever come back to it

 

As someone who got caught up in the Hamilton craze when it released and then very much cooled on it years later

clipping is consistently great, this new one is dope as hell

 

new Saba finally

 

The Return of The Mid: How To Keep An Open Mind While Still Hating Without Really Trying


I recently posted the first entry of this column. This one is cool too.


“I just feel more than a little guilty when I hear a very earnest 20-something’s album and roll my eyes at it out of a complete lack of interest.

Part of that’s innate, I’m half-Jewish, half-Catholic and all guilt. Still, music writers are also conditioned to get on the new music hamster wheel and hang on for dear life, reflexively hyping up the next big thing for fear of being called a hater. I started reading about and discussing music in my 20s with plenty of free time, and that process was probably fun and felt natural. Now, like an aging baller with bad knees and back pain, I may never land a triple double again, even if my version of the triple double is caring enough about Nettspend to point out how awful his rapping is (I told you I wasn’t a sports guy).

At some point, I’m going to feel like a fraud come year end list season, because my listening will have consisted entirely of old Jungle vinyl rips, Roc Marci-core and a running playlist of Detroit and Milwaukee rap to keep up appearances.“

 

oldheads in here are definitely gonna love that Saba/No ID lol. fantastic throwback

 

I checked out that Curren$y/Harry Fraud tape and it’s cool nothing really crazy just nice beats and very laid back bars.

 

I also listened to a bunch of the Saba and NO ID project while driving and I for sure got to give it another listen with headphones. It sounds so good so far.

 

New Saba is great

 

for me it’s like a fun sport to give knowingly bad takes that the rugrats will be biting my ankles about.

saba is dope

 

Pressing play on Saba right now, I love No ID

 

Can’t wait

 

Feeling like a wet blanket in this thread because I have Kanye on the mind and also happen to know that Badu has similarly praised Hitler and defended Bill Cosby and R. Kelly.

 

If this a full project between Droog and Madlib I’m going to be super interested

 

I'm sorry, are these not things worth calling out?

 

He’s certainly expanding his reach, albums by her and Yasiin Bey are gonna be insanely good.

 

psyched to hear that new yasiin record

 

Just reminding me Yasin was supposed to open for her and he canceled last minute

 

Oh yeah she’s been lost for a long time lol
