Tyler said they've all known about Frank for quite some time now. Good for him,anyway.

Their = Tyler, The Creator's and other members of Odd Future.

I find it kind of funny that everyone is stating that Odd Future are homophobic, when Syd The Kid is an out and proud lesbian and one of Tyler's best friends.

Tyler and the rest of Odd Future consider Frank their older brother, and were nothing but supportive of Frank when he came out.

I'm not listening to any more tracks until the full leak. Broke down and listened to the snippets and this album sounds amazing.

Everyone should check out 1999 from Joey Bada$$. Heard MF Doom and J Dilla produced tracks on it so I had to check it out, wasn't disappointed.

It has every chance. Nas sounds so comfortable right now if that makes sense. My only concern is that Swizz Beatz managed to worm his way on to a track.

That's my sh**!!!!!!!

Been playing it two days straight, literally, straight through the day. In the morning, in the car, at work, at the crib. Super smooth...

... i am increasingly frustrated by the absence of "golden age" veterans, the lack of presence of new material, let alone having no radio/video presence.. There should by now be an established infrastructure to support "Classic Rap" just as there is infrastructure to support "Classic Rock".. the "classic Soul/R&B" stations feature near-exclusively traditional soul only, from circa 1972 - present, with, at best, literally one rap cut interspersed in a four-hour programming block" (typically Whodini or Doug E Fresh)..
Meanwhile, the "Contemporary hip-hop/R&B" stations only reach back to select tracks of the 90s (typically Tupac, Biggie, Snoop, Dre) maybe once per hour at best..

There are no terrestrial radio stations that play hip-hop from 1979 - 1996 all day, every day.. the only place you can find this format is on Satellite radio..

more diverse playlists (including indie hip hop, non-major label rappers and some new veteran material) can be found on low-power, college (or "community") radio at best..

When is a veteran rapper who was big in the 80s - mid 90s going to have a Santana/Johnny Cash type comeback, with a progressive producer/collaborators, and make an impact in radio/video and live concerts.. So many people seem to be content to live off cult status and accept being exclusively a nostalgia act..

I listen to BBC 6music sometimes and they play old school Hip Hop although not 24/7.

Finally given Life Is Good a listen. I like it. Damn Swizz Beatz though.

I quite liked the tape but it was so horribly mastered I only listened once.
