He's not coming out with an album for at least another 2 years, so likely he's just killing features and expanding his capabilities as an artist.

Yeah, I'm complete cool with this. If he wants to tackle complex subject matter with great depth, I am OK with him, say, meeting with college professors and researchers to help build some sort of knowledge. Or spending time with the community. Or going to college himself. Whatever.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

I'm wondering what Kendrick is up to right now.

Chilling with Rick Rubin.

One of the best interviews I've listened to all year.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Also really enjoying those two A$AP Rocky tracks, surprisingly.

Huh, must have missed this. Will watch.

"Rick Rubin looks and sounds like he chilled with God one day and then just came back"

LOL

So what are Organized Konfusions' greatest songs, anyway? I can't decide since stress alone never flags.

I gotta go with Releasing Hypnotical Gases. Holy fuck. Though Stray Bullet, The Extinction Agenda, Bring It On, and Thirteen are a few others I can think of. And there's Monch's verse on Prisoners of War.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Kap G ft. Ty Dolla $ign & Quavo - Girlfriend (Remix). Goes, mostly because Kap G's cadence on the original is fire and Ty and Quavo cook with it.
Ima pass her like I'm Kyrie, Irving

So the Armand Hammer album that was making the discussion earlier, Race Music, is finally making my play list these days. As far as abstract Hip-Hop goes, I think this album is going to be really fucking good. It's fucking dense I can already tell, but man, this is definitely one of the most rewarding Hip-Hop albums I think I've heard. I'm going to have a ton of fun dissecting and digesting this one.

It's like a modern day version of Cold Vein, and even with that said it has it's own uniqueness.

Yeah, it definitely has the artistic vibes? It's definitely less corny, and The Cold Vein is just outside my top 20 favorite rap albums ever.

Shit, Eos is gone.

These skits on Kanyes early albums are still the funniest shit.

Denzel Curry announced "Taboo", his "major" label debut, for 2nd half 2017.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

I got Chance tickets today, so hyped lol. Anyone here been to one of his shows before?

I went during the Surf-era tours as he played my spring concert, but I was sick and wasn't into it as much as the other people who really fucked with his music were. If you really like his music, you'll like it. Also, GA became a bit of a mosh pit when he did some of his more hype songs.

 

[Glass Rebel]

For me, I don't know who's dropping in 2016 and who isn't anymore. I'd have thought 2016 would end with Earl, FlyLo/Captain Murphy, and RTJ, with a couple of surprise drops peppered in and under-the-radar projects I'd discover. However, I can really only be sure that RTJ is dropping in 2016 because of their constant updates saying they want to release it this year.

I didn't know RTJ3 was due this year. I hope Mike isn't too bitter about his boy Bernie. Not really in the mood for heavy tinfoilhat rap.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

So how about those Cubs, eh?

 

[Nabs]

DJ Khaled is a national treasure.

I'm sure he's happy that you are cool with those things.

Wow take it the wrong way, eh?

I'm joking, but genuine inspiration may not come along quickly. If Kendrick needs more time to cultivate generation and that means not getting another album for the next four years, then that's fine with me.

Is it just me or does that guy look a bit like Des?

Can't wait. Glad to see Curry keeping it going.

Imperial was very middling and I feel a major label release would only go further in that direction.

 

[Koozek]

Lol, a bit, yeah.

Imperial was very middling and I feel a major label release would only go further in that direction.

AOTY for me. Loved the energy and production.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Bullshit politics at 300 holding up Migos releases smh.

Spoiler

here come the snarky remarks

AOTY for me. Loved the energy and production.

His energy is always good but it felt like he was using the same flow on every single track, making them sort of blend together. I enjoyed his previous two releases more.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Imperial was great, but yeah it's pretty repetitive. But the energy is unmatched.

He has three projects right? I'd say just listen to them in chronological order. Nostalgia 64 -> The double EP -> Imperial.

 

[overcast]

Nostalgic 64 -> 32 Zel -> Imperial

He's got some great singles too.

Just kidding around man; just found your post funny.

Hey, I think it would be a great way for Kendrick to really deliver lyrically. I know most of us complain all the time about "smart dumb" rappers, so if Kendrick needs more time to do some legit research on whatever topic he wants to explore on his next album and this causes a delay in the album's process, I'm all for it.

That Peter Gabriel thread in OT reminded me of this, one of the promos Kanye had made for Yeezus. I think that the guy who plays Bateman is way too unnatural and leans in heavy on the vocal tics while playing it campy, but I like the idea behind it.

 

[FZZ]

So when is Drizzy gonna drop Take Care 2?

Same day Valve releases Half-Life 3, Cole releases an album that doesn't get called a sleep aid, and Kanye drops WTT2.

 

[Toparaman]

I know there are some RTJ fans in this thread, so I just want to say listen to Killer Mike's 2012 album R.A.P. Music if you haven't already. I think I've listened to it at least 5 times front to back over the past two weeks.

Speaking of Genesis, the guitar solo in Devil In a New Dress reminds me of Steve Hackett.

Great album, definitely an 8/10 for me.

 

[torre_avenue]

Goddamn it, that promo video forced me to stop listening to FlyLo and listen to Yeezus one more time.

Considering how polarizing the album is, I'm surprised the first impressions of the album were so positive on GAF.

Yep could also back to the Raven Miyagi era but only for 36 diehards really.
