who's heard the Kanye West / Kid Cudi album then?
look, i dislike them both but by god this is an incredible album:



what do you think of it Mafro?

I like it, it’s good. Better than Ye. Think I prefer pusha t's latest over both though.

pusha t's hasnt grabbed me like this has. still havent listened to Ye. really impressed by Kid Cudi - i havent actually listened to anything from him other than Day & Night

Fantano was a big fan too. And by big I mean Huge. I was already enjoying the album, but was surprised at how much he did - his breakdown is fun



I'm enjoying the sci-fi and spooky little details that are threaded through the tracks in instrumentation and melody. I wish tracks 1 and 2 were a little longer (suffering from a little of TLOP's two-verse-tease and out feeling) after that things start feeling more full and the album as a whole feels complete. I think Kids See Ghosts is actually the least interesting song, the rest are cool though and though familiar in sensibility (soulful samples, sudden cuts, funky drums, goofball lines) I think it feels significantly different in vibe to a lot of the Kanye Canon I reckon.

Enjoying it!

i do really like Kids See Ghosts kinda dark/jungley bass beat though

Kids see ghosts is a lot better than the other 2 releases. I've never been a huge Kanye fan though, so I'm still not 100% on board, but will certainly give it some more listens. I just found out he's working on a 7 track Nas (album). Despite his later work being pretty mediocre, I am hoping this is good.

i really hope Nas goes down the Jay-Z 4:44 route; guys that age who've done it all before shouldnt be recounting their street stories 12 albums-post

Better than Ye. Probably better than Daytona as well but I'm not sure if the production is as tight as that. Could probably listen to it on repeat all day and not get bored. Feels like Kanye raps more on this one than his own album Tempted to buy one of the hoodies of the store but it's just under 90 quid

I honestly had no idea it was him that did that song. Thought it was just a one hit wonder

in honour of his ep out recently, see a master at work

rico nasty mixtape came out recently, this is awesome

New Nas album was basically a day late (second song is brilliant)



New Jay Rock album came out too. Been a great month for hip-hop

That is a hefty slick rick sample

Decent Nas album. Not great, but good. I really like Slick Rick sample. At first I found it a little irritating, but it's certainly grown on me now. Nas does love his conspiracy nonsense though.

I have a flight tomorrow. Does anyone have any Spotify playlists they've created?

new Freddie Gibbs

p.s. i just noticed that a big producer on here is Kenny Beats - who's been doing some awesome work with Rico Nasty recently as well, some awesome hard nasty trap

giving DAYTONA another listen properly and damn its good, i didnt give it a chance first time round
only problem is Rick Ross is on it

Disrespecting Rick Ross *shakes head*

hes a fraud and hes one-note. not impressed

top 5 dead or alive: go!

Not to ignore the last post but Rick Ross is so unbelievably one note - check out his recent remix of Love Lies as the perfect example. He’s decent on that pusha t album though.
