New Schoolboy Q

 

[Slick]

Just downloaded it. Don't know when I'm going to listen to it tho.

 

[Slick]

Listening to it right now. #%^* is dope.

 

[chamber-music]

Lupe Fiasco's Pick Up The Phone sounds like Superstar 2.0

Is Take Care by Drake a classic album?

Remove a personal bias if you hate Drake, but is it a classic album. Sold well? Sure. Influential? Sure. But is it a classic?

 

[The Batman]

For all his consistency, Drake has never made a classic album.

Take Care may be the closest he's gotten, IMO.

Any Curren$y or Dizzy Wright fans? These guys are two of my favorite artists and I feel like they are both pretty underrated. Especially Spitta... criminally underrated.

Don't know too much about Curren$y, but I liked his verse on the song "Push Thru" with Kendrick Lamar and Talib Kweli:

It's been damn near 10 years, but Bishop Lamont's "The Reformation" is finally available.

Liking it so far. Some huge beats on there.

 

[Slick]

Whole album is great

But Im pissed it's an Apple Music exclusive for 2 weeks. I want to buy the physical copy
Im so tired of these excluvisve deals. Especially when they only seem to happen with hip hop and R&B

 

[Slick]

Oh yeah I love the album as well. All I can say is hang in there. It's only 2 weeks but I agree I hate theses exclusive.

 

[MadVillainy]

Signed up for the Apple Music trial just for it.

I like Channel Orange a bit better but blond is incredible

 

[TeeKay]

So Drake reignited his beef with Meek again. He performed in Philly last night and called out Meek. Damn

 

[Slick]

I have to agree with Pete Rosenberg and I like drake but he ain't hard.

I've listened to blond about 3 times now and I like it a little bit better than Channel Orange.

 

[Slick]

Take Care may be the closest he's gotten, IMO.

Agreed. Take Care is indeed the closest to a classic album Drake's got.

 

[TeeKay]

I liked Views though. Wished he rapped more. Hype is the best track followed by U with me?

 

[CrypticOne]

Weak. He'll diss Meek but won't return Budden's diss tracks because he knows he'll get murked.

I went to see Kanye last night.it was a crazy good show.The floating stage is something else.The Flashing Lights into All of the lights was perfect.The crowd was so hype.

 

[Slick]

Nice. I always wanted to see him live.

 

[chamber-music]

FUTURISTIC - As Seen on the Internet and Banks & Steelz - Anything But Words is what I've been listening to lately.

 

[Jekecy]

Kanye - Fade music video

Goddamn. I had NO idea Teyana was built like that. Crazier is that she only had a baby a couple months ago. That's absurd.

I'm over here in an air conditioned room and still sweating.

 

[Chesterfield]

Yeah man, been watching the video on repeat. Her body is majorly on point. She went hard....and so did I.
