I tolerate Future for the beats he gets and a rapper emulating that is whack. It puts a poo poo tint on GOOD music and Pusher T. Kanye's album release and all that TiDAL DLC poo poo was ill managed. These guys are breaking my heart.

I start my Apple Music trial July 1 and I'll let you suckers know. I use iTunes as my primary music player and I'm deep in the Apple ecosystem so I figure it's a no brainer. I enjoyed Spotify but didn't use it enough cause that was the era not too long ago when mixtapes were loving FREE.

The only thing that I'm worried about is that I can't cast apple music to poo poo like chromecast or ps4 which spotify does.

Yeah it's kinda crazy to me how people poo poo on Drake for not writing his own stuff but Desiigner gets a pass for literally copying Futures whole style.

the parts where he tries to hit the raspy voice Future does sometimes makes it sound like he's about to throw up his vocal chords

the second or third song or whatever I also thought king louie came on but it was just him biting Louie's vocal style too

Because that is a deal-breaker.

Ok some facts about tidal

Right now you can search around and get a two month free trial without putting in a CC.

Tidal is 10$ a month. $5 if you are a student.

Apple Music has no good exclusives. Tidal has The Dream, Prince, Neil Young and Desiigner

There is a desktop app for Tidal.

Apple's Radio 1 is free and requires no Apple Music account.

The only poorly designed part of the mobile tidal app is that it pauses any currently playing media when started, before you choose to actually start playing something off of it. The audiomack app has the same problem.

That is all

MAJOR KEY ALERT.

Future and the hook are loving TERRIBLE on this track (but I agree, Pusha would have murdered this beat).

Lemonade must have put Jay on his game because drat he's been on fire. If he spits this type of ish on his response album it's going to be amazing.

Hot take: no rappers in this era are capable of a classic. Possible exception: Habits & Contradictions. That is also a part of my thesis that ScHoolboy Q is the best artist on TDE by a wide margin and Kendrick gets way too much attention.

Eh. Good Kid Maad City is a classic.


And define capable?

I think Drake is capable of a dope classic album. He has flashes of actually being worthy of the level he puts himself at, But He seems content just releasing a boring samey un-cohesive set of songs.

Lol no it's not. How much are you going back and listening to GKMC? And when are you listening to it and not thinking of 2012/2013. H&C is timeless. Q hosed up with OxyMoron. It lacked whatever that "It" factor that exists and its glaring because you look at H&C. Nightmare on Figg St? That's a loving jam. And it was never a single. I just pull that song out as an example. Only song I don't like? Blessed. Like I said: gently caress Kdot.


I also think Gucci is Top 5, GOAT rapper. Provable at analysis.

Also Raymond 1969 blatantly samples Portishead and that's eons ahead of anything GKMC


also Noz is DAF to d-ride Future when he's admitted Thug is a better artist.

Also Chronic reference is prolly accurate because I fall asleep to that album, just like Future's poo poo.

Often. drat near that entire album is in my normal rotation shuffle playlist. I run that album through front to back probably on average 2 times month(Also do the same with TPaB besides mortal man but not trying to start that argument here).


Gucci is probably top 10 for me, but isn't in my personal top 5.

"I listen to this album but not that album" isn't really any way to declare something "classic" or not. I haven't listened to the chronic in probably 10 years but I'm not denying it's a classic. And based on their reception, press, music quality, etc. I think both of Kendrick's last two albums would most def be up to be considered as classics (and that's with me being on record as saying Habits and Contradictions is better than GKMC). I mean I know dudes like to poo poo on Kendrick around here since he doesn't feed into people living out their vicarious gangsta fantasies but he's easily the best rapper at actually rapping of the last like 5-10 years (and I'd argue ever).

And both the singles Q has put out for blank face are really good, so hopefully it's more like habits and contradictions than oxymoron (which was kinda a bleh album).

Also I could name probably 100 (or more) rappers off the top of my head better than Gucci. Dude's not even the best major southern rapper who was released from jail in the last year.
