Rap/Hip-Hop 2000-now

[Va-Va-Voom]

Finished my first listen now. The content is much heavier than Forest Hills Drive. Makes sense considering the year he's been through. .

What happened to him?

Not sure if anything's happened but he's purposefully stayed out of the spotlight and for the large part took a break from public life. You can tell it's been related to, at least in part, his mental health by the lyrics of the album.

[LMAO]

I feel like Cole should've taken the second verse from '03 Adolescence, made it into an entire song, and put that as the third track on 4 Your Eyez Only. Would've helped the overall story of the album about his friend imo

Definitely not anywhere near his best though. 6.5/10 for me. Maybe it'll grow on me with time. But how are you gonna come at Kanye for half-ass'ing it and then put this out? Ffs

I love Cole, but this is why he will always be looked at second after K-Dot when people look back on this generation.

Not one single standout song on there.

Get woke. Immortal is a banger. 4 Your Eyez Only, especially the final verse, is emotional. Change and Neighbors are good. For Whom the Bell Tolls is a decent intro. The rest is meh, though.

I don't think he half arsed this though. Code's songs are always heavily reliant on his lyricism, and he definitely didn't half arse that. Yeah, 10 songs and no real hits I don't think but you can hear the time and effort that went into his lyrics.

FFS just a throw away verse but he's smashed the shit out of it YET again in time for Christmas.

[LMAO]

Decided to give Tha Carter III a listen today. Man, it really brought me back to middle school days. That period Lil Wayne had from 2005-08 was pure punchline gold. We'll never witness another higher-than-a-kite-how-tf-was-this-conceived rapper like him

Debate 21st century releases here.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Will 2017 be the year Andre 3000 finally returns?

How he is missed.

[Pudpop]

More importantly will it be the year Kendrick and J cole drop their collaboration?

[Zenith]

Read Kanye has returned to the studio with Pete Rock.

If PR's producing can't help him revive his career, no one can.

Ye was finished years ago

^ Up there with the greatest diss tracks of all time

[LMAO]

Bless. My dude finally got around to releasing a video for the song. I'm beyond hyped for All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ to drop on April 7.

With Kendrick dropping To Pimp a Butterfly in 2015, Common dropping Black America Again late last year, and Joey dropping All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ next month, the discourse on black America through music has been tremendous (and much needed imo) over the past three years.

[LMAO]

I'm way too hype for this. Q, Meechy, Styles, and Cole?! April 7 can't come soon enough. Calling it now: album of the year.

"Devastated" and "Land of the Free" are already dope ass singles.

My nigga Jo is about to high key vault up into the Kendrick-tier.

Stay blessed.
