what were you guys listening to during this era?

this thread is why people hate internet discussion boards that being said- i like the cohesion and production overall on BTH more, and there may be one or two songs that I like more on BTH than anything on GKMC, but I think it's crazy to say that BTH is a better album than GKMC and/or that Blu is be...

Supreme Clientele. Ghost and Red are two of my favorite mc's but Dare Iz a Darkside isn't even Red's best, while SC is Ghost's best, and possibly even the best Wu solo project.

Looking forward to watching McGregor and the gawd Stuhlbarg finish each other's sentences throughout the season.

OBFCL is better but I prefer Liquid Swords in terms of front to back replay value. both are classics though

Am i really the first person to post anything about this? Figured the interwebz would be going nuts. He spazzed on this. Looks like the new album is dropping in 2 weeks too.

looks amazing. loved in bruges but was kinda meh on seven psychopaths. in any case, the trailer has me interested for sure

Watched this Saturday night on HBO. Thought it was really good. I can see how his delivery may turn some people off since he likes to slow things down and use pauses at certain points, but this was clearly a step in the right direction from his first special (which I also liked). He seems to be real...

Shadows on the Sun is damn near classic. Brother Ali has and will always be a great live performer and a good rapper, but his subject matter and vibe have become a little too preachy and happy go lucky for me over the last couple albums/ep's. All Ant production has me intrigued, but the concept of t...

seems unfair to compare them. voted redman but pos is criminally underrated

good content but way too long and she was definitely reading off the page. some extra takes may have helped

i agree with those that have said its a solid album but not as good as his first two. His rapping is on point, as always, but a handful of tracks, mostly in the middle of the album, suffer from a lack of drums and/or an annoying sample getting too repetitive. I also think he mixes his vocals too low...

I've always been a fan of el-p's work since the co flow days. I was never a huge Killer Mike fan but I wound up really liking R.A.P. Music, probably more than Cancer For Cure. The RTJ albums are all solid, imo, but at times I wish El-P was using more samples or switching up the production style. The...

Gave this a couple spins from front to back. I feel like its the most cohesive album they've done but the high points aren't as high and the low points aren't as low as on the other two. I don't skip any tracks (I skipped at least one or two on the prior albums), but I feel like none of the tracks s...

i'm sure i'm incredibly on this, but what stuff did the leaked version have that the retail didn't?

in no particular order:
the impossible kid
coloring book
blank face
sun's tirade
life of pablo
Anderson Paak
Tribe

On the Drink Champs podcast they made it sound like they had tons of songs recorded and picked the best ones for the album. I'm curious as to how many people had a say in what songs made the cut because I think we all know the group is capable of making good songs and ideally, a good album. However,...

not a big war movie fan but Nolan tackling the subject with imax footage makes it worthy of checking out in the theater

cause your gf has better taste than you?

lol. never that.

you really think enemy is better than any of Villeneuve's movies? I appreciated the vibe and the mood of the flick but it was super boring imo

the only question left at the end of enemy is "why the fuck did i just watch this?"

I believe the MIB acknowledges recognizing her when they come across her which lends credence to McPoyle being the MIB

saw this on Saturday. thought it was incredibly well done in terms of acting, writing, directing, etc. was much heavier than expected, especially considering the context of seeing it post-trump victory. highly recommended.

i didn't have crazy expectations for the album, i was simply looking forward to hearing what they brought. upon my first listen, definitely liking the vast majority of it. production is solid and group vibe is cohesive throughout. better than expected regardless

i like talk to me much more than 2100. the beginning of 2100 seems a little off beat or too busy to me. maybe it'll open up over more listens

definitely the toughest of these polls. went with liquid swords but easily could have voted for cuban linx or infamous

El-P said on Twitter that the next album is dropping by the first week of January at the absolute latest, but that they're trying to drop it this year.
