Pusha T's Daytona though - this bangs. I wish there were more songs on the album. Thoughts?

Blame Kanye.
Pusha said in an interview that every album the label releases this year will have 7 tracks. Due to Kanye's orders.

Looking back at it though quality>quantity, every one of the songs on the album is pretty much flawless. Kanye is one of the best producers. Santeria is my favourite song followed by Hard piano:

"Never trust a bitch who finds love in a camera
She will fuck you, then turn around and fuck a janitor"

Kid Tsunami produced an album in 2013 that was super slept on. Had guests like KRS One, Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, J-Live, etc. A lot of the songs have been deleted from youtube since, but a few remain and a shitty radio edit version of one of them. Sucks this guy disappeared, he had a promising future. Very 90's feel.









Nasty beat on this song: Kid Tsunami f. O.C. - Catch Wreck

Surprised no one has mention this yet. So Pusha T's album has song on there called infrared, dissing drake. Drake responds within 24 hours. Enjoy:

This thread needs RESURRECTION. Asap, J Cole & Pusha T have released highly anticipated albums very recently. I've listened to Pusha T and J Cole. Those are arguably each artist's best work. I've written full reviews before in this thread. I won't this time. It's someone else's turn. I'll just say they both deserve 90 something % rating. J has hit a new level, while pusha is a sublime lyricist and Kanye is back to his mid-2000s best.

Just started listening to this cat from Maryland called YBN Cordae

Real good response to J.Cole's 1985:

New Ye album is amazing. I thought that Daytona was dope but this was even better.

High hopes for Nas's one.

7 tracks is a perfect number for today.

With today's attention span I'd guess under 10% will listen to 10+ tracks.

I guess I need a new SUV with a premium audio package because I enjoy listening to NWA and The Chronic.

Pusha T easily winning the battle with Drake so far. This summer has started off with a bang that's for sure.

What do you think of Riff Raff?

Just when the rap beef thing was coming back we hear that a literal bullet flew in the direction of Chief Keef earlier (either Friday or Saturday) in Manhattan / NYC. He is saying that associates of Tekashi 6'9 are responsible for the attempted hit. Chicago native Chief Keef is home safe in Los Angeles for those of you that may be losing sleep over this news.

Something tells me that even a bullet attempt may provide a boost to both of their rap careers in terms of sales. Gives things a dose of reality if you will.

Ahhhh, Kanye's production hasn't skipped a beat.

Pusha T ft. Kanye West - What Would Meek Do?

Jay-Z and Beyonce just dropped the first single from their new album. Thoughts?

Good: Hot beat, good hook, Jay-z went in(he's got the best flow, breath control, and cadence I've heard in the over 20 years) but everyone's talking about Beyonce's rap.

Bad: I feel Beyonce was trying too hard like she's rapping now like Rihanna, "Pour It Up" and "Lemonade" in a desperate bid to stay relevant. She should stick to singing.





Jay must have some connections to get the Louvre closed for a video shoot. Impressive.

I need to get the new Nas record ASAP. Yo MY DETROIT PLAYAS you from the Detroit area? I've been out here a few years (came from the Chicago area). You like Payroll Giovanni at all (originally from the Doughboyz Cashout crew)? Cardo has been making most of his beats lately. You might recall Cardo producing most of Wiz Khalifah's songs among some bigger name rappers.

Yeah I'm hip to those guys, been bubbling for a minute now

I still rock to the Guilty Simpson's, Royce, Elzhi and Black Milk's of the world too. I support Midwest artists in general.

Funny you bring up Detroit, I'm now in the Chicagoland area but I rep 313 and 269 eternally

Extremely difficult for anyone to go platinum in today's digital / Soundcloud era.

Hahah, I was just in Chicagoland over the weekend (my fam is largely back there). I live in the 734 right now, but 248 & 313 are very close by. In Illinois I lived in 224/847 & 773. Yeah I listen to all of the artists that you mentioned. Been having this joint in rotation since earlier this year:

Phat Kat a.k.a. Ronnie Euro, Guilty Simpson, Elzhi - All Madden
