When Migos popped, we talked about Quavo leaving em behind and blowing up solo. For awhile there it looked like that would be the case, but Takeoff and Offset really stepped up. Offset especially. So, it’s Quavo’s whenever he wants it but I don’t think he’s being burdened by the other 2 like it used to be.

I'll check out some more Erykah Badu and Maxwell but I have already gone through Tribe and Common's discography (which is excellent). Common and Tribe are more on the rap side though and I was hoping to find something closer to the R&B side of vocals.

I listened to D'Angelo's Brown Sugar this morning and wow. Between that album and Voodoo, I have become a huge fan of his and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for R&B that is similar. Specifically, I really like the production style and how it works with his vocals. It almost feels like hip-hop, just smoother with a sort of sing-rapping style. Don't really care if its older R&B or newer stuff.

Neo-soul was really big for a brief minute there. IMO the best album of that style is Baduism which is basically perfect. Bilal's first album had that sound (and tbh I prefer to D'Angelo although that could be partially me just being contrarian). Michel'le also had a lot of that vibe although she kinda predates the neo-soul trend (as an aside, both her album and Bilal were produced by Dre). Maxwell's another with that sound, although compared to the others he's much more cool and...intellectual which can be god or ad depending on your tastes. Doesn't have the rawness, the emotion of a lot of the others. Musiq's also in that vein although I think he's lacking compared to the others. Lauryn Hill also has a similar vibe although I always thought she was more actual rap than r&b but either way it's one of the best albums of whatever genre you'd consider it and should check it out.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions everyone, got a bunch of stuff to check out now. Isn't neo-soul kinda making a comeback with artists like Kaytranada putting their own spin on it? Would also be interested in any modern artists doing that kinda thing.

most of the great albums that have come out over the last few years have had a single producer guiding the sound and more people should do this.

His podcast is the best content out right now, it's honestly amazing how 4 friends just talking about all types of poo poo just works. I like how they aren't scripted, it leads to genuine and funny moments you just don't get from any other podcast because they feel so robotic.

This spotify thing is a slam dunk for him. I'm just glad it's staying on Youtube.

Not really? I think the Internet, Jhene Aiko, Frank Ocean and Janelle Monae are really the only "neo soul" type acts that are newer. It's a sound that doesn't really translate well to the mainstream, and is an older sound for sure.

Check out The Internet's Hive Mind though, it's a pretty good carrying of that old sound in a real recent album

the albums are all kinda skippable compared to the singles but Luv is Rage #1 is where i think i'd start. the track Top was the one i remember first got me on board, and his feature on thugger's song Big Racks.
Luv Vs. The World is 9 tracks and prob his best project overall.
Luv is Rage 2 i think only has like 3-4 songs i still like out of the 20. easily the most forgettable Culture 2-esque one.
plus it's been really easy to get burned out on LUV in the last few years as he's saturated everything

Boywhiz88 posted:

if you type in "review[s]" after his name on youtube you'll find a lot of the clips i like. his music reviews consist of a lot of industry conspiracy stuff. the episodes are 2 hours and not focused enough that i can recommend a whole solid gold one or anyhting but maybe a bigger buddens fan will disagree.

Start with 174 (the previous episode), and then get caught up on the most recent...or you can youtube some best hits clips. Since the topics are usually very current-eventsy, you don't wanna go back too far

STRIKE!
I was wondering why Minaj had to cancel her tour because in my head she was still super popular. I appreciate the information y’all provided. I didn’t realize she had put out so little music.

In Danny Brown news, he was on twitch last night and didn’t give any updates on new projects even though that’s what 90% of chat was asking about. He was just playing persona and being goofy.

There are certain levels of popularity and fans.

Nicki is popular. In that she makes music that people will listen to and play in clubs and poo poo.

She is not popular enough where she can sell out an arena tour like she was trying to do, it's why she and Future were gonna tour together. Her fans are not the type of fans that will spend a ton of money on music or go to concerts.

There are very very few artists who are the level of popular to not have to worry selling out an arena tour like Beyonce, Cole, Ye, Kendrick, and Drake.

And honestly only Beyonce and Ye can do it without strong acts with them.

Like there are audiences who support the poo poo out of their artist even if the artist isn't super popular who don't have issues selling out on tours.

Regardless of your opinion of him Cole is one of those dudes who isn't quite as popular commercially as like Drake or Kendrick, but his fans will loving pay for music. Same way someone like Kevin Gates will do loving Adele numbers because his fans buy the hell out of his poo poo.
