2. "Tity Boi's 2nd best album IMO. "Pretty Girls..." was his best one. " In response to Reply # 1 Fri Mar-01-19 11:53 AM by Creole
2 Chainz - Rap or Go to the League Dude has seriously grown on me over the years. Truuuuuuu!
Sammie - EVERLASTING - 2/13 I've heard singles and recent collabs with Sammie. I got his album loaded up to check out.
Solange - When I Get Home - 19/19 And I'm looking forward to giving Solange's new release a try. I heard so many things about her last album that I'm intrigues enough to give her a shot. I never heard the last album either. Just heard good things about it.
this was pretty great. i havent heard any other 2 chainz albums, only features. didnt know what to expect. it starts off great, then its mostly good for the rest of the way. i have a feeling most of the songs im not crazy about will grow on me with more listens and in the car.
whip, girls best friend and 2 dollar bill might be the only ones that i wont like.
4. "2 Chainz getting better the older he gets is inspiring" In response to Reply # 1 Fri Mar-01-19 01:13 PM by Marauder21
not that I have any talent, but this dude is still getting better at an age when most rappers get lazy. LMAO at how proud he was of "I play the clit like a guitar"

5. "probably the best 2 chainz project" In response to Reply # 1 Fri Mar-01-19 03:43 PM by bearfield
his rapping is more considered and less tossed off than it usually is. it seems like he's making a point of letting the listeners know that he can really rap when he wants to. he's tackling sensitive subjects with a touch that is more deft and light than his rapping persona suggests he's capable of. he still has his goofy punchlines and brags though. this album presents what is likely the best version of 2 chainz as a pure rapper
this one loses a few points for being indebted to late 90s hip hop, though it's mostly a good thing. it feels like every other track i was reminded of a particular style, mode, or producer. the first handful of tracks feel like some early ye/blaze/bink! instrumentals. "rule the world" sounds like something amerie passed on in 1999. he floats through a lot of different styles of beats and generally has no issues rapping over any particular one, although this project exposed his poor pocket. he sounds more at home over trap beats than late 90s studio album bangers. i have to point out that his flow on "momma i hit a lick" is bonkers, far overshadowing kendrick's performance (and his biting of valee's flow). the last track is a tone deaf travesty. whining about making so much money that you get taxed a lot is not a good look. 37% is not 50%, mr. epps!
overall it's a high quality project. the beats are generally very good, if a little familiar, and his rapping is the best it's ever been. he's rapping about real issues that affect folks from all walks of life but still has his sense of humor and effortless cool
6. "Amerie's "Why Can't We Fall In Love" is one of my favorite son..." In response to Reply # 5 Fri Mar-01-19 04:10 PM by Creole
>"rule the world" sounds like something amerie passed on in 1999.
Ariana Grande's feature made me look at her differently.
All I could do when I heard the strings was belt out:
"Why don't we, don't we (Why can't we) Why don't we (Why can't we), why don't we (Why can't we) Why don't we, why don't we fall in love (We, can't we fall) Why don't we, why don't we (Yeah, yeah) Why don't we, why don't we fall in love (Oh) Why (Yeah)"
Just looked it up. It's been almost 17 years since Amerie's song dropped. DAYUM!

I still vouch for that album. I shoehorned Nothing Like Loving You into hella 'lay together' playlists FOR YEARS.
16. "solange and doja cat" In response to Reply # 1
so doja cat actually was last year, deluxe was this year. 3 new songs, one being mooo. it was okay, shes more than a novelty act but not great.
solange. the music is great, songs arent really songs?? i mostly enjoyed it. her voice is good, i prefer it to beyonce. some songs definitely hit. i would listen to more of her. i feel about it the same way a lot of people seemed to feel about worldwide underground. is this complete?? a lot of great ideas or starts to songs but wish there was more to them.

i dont see myself coming back to tracks without vocals on the clever austin album. the come is coming one though was more my liking though. i would still prefer it had vocals but i can see myself listening to that one more.
19. "The Epik High release is solid" In response to Reply # 17
Don't know if you're into Korean music at all, but it's a really good hip-hop/R&B release in my opinion. The track produced by BTS' Suga, "Eternal Sunshine," might be my favorite and honestly reminds me a little bit of the Mountain Brothers. And "No Different" featuring Yuna (pretty popular Malaysian singer) is all in English and is also a highlight.
22. "im not opposed to korean music" In response to Reply # 19
unfortunately the first few weeks were saturated with korean releases and it burned me out on it. there were a few songs i kept on rotation. i might check it out.
24. "Tobe Nwigwe - THREE ORGINALS" In response to Reply # 17
pretty good. i need to give it more listens. its a style im not used to and stays in the same lane until the last 3 songs or so. which are the songs i liked the most lol
29. "Zacari - Run Wild Run Free" In response to Reply # 17
i liked this. its not great but its a cool short listen. could see myself bumping this during a late night drive. the beats are kind of generic, the hooks are where this shines. verses are good but get generic too.
for some reason i thought zacari was a girl, i think i just mix up names in my head lol. i could go for more songs featuring zacari though.
30. "Karen O & Danger Mouse - Lux Prima" In response to Reply # 17
a bit sleepy for my taste. it gets going towards the middle but then almost lost me with the last 4 tracks. or the first 3 tracks of the last 4?? the last track was cool but the three before were too sleepy.
i can see some songs in this growing on me though.

47. "i liked the beats on this" In response to Reply # 31
not big on the rapping. i will say i never knew ditc stood for digging in the crates so i have this album to thank for that lol its also my favorite song on it.
49. "i really liked this" In response to Reply # 36
im not big on R&B but this hit. the beats are great and i really like her voice. i could definitely go for more of this. Rare was my favorite song but all 5 songs are great.
also checked out Christian Scott's Ancestral Recall as mentioned above. not really my thing. i could definitely see some good rap producers working with him to make some great stuff but not really any album ill come back to. it was good but not my thing.
Last friday of the month. still have a few albums to catch up on. not sure how many great albums have come out in the 1st qtr. definitely seems behind 2018.
some albums i want to check out, defintely the MED and Guilty Simpson. If the choosey & exile is the same exile from blu & exile im down. might check out the quelle chris, i was not a fan of the album with jean grae but that was my first exposure to him. might check out the dj muggs project too but ive been let down with his projects over all. logic supermarket?? maybe

50. "the beats are great" In response to Reply # 44
maybe the best of the year. the rapping is good but not really my vibe. i can see it growing on me.
great album, definitely a must listen to.
the phonte ep has some really good beats too. i enjoyed it but i can see folks not being into his singing. the last song has him rapping. its only 4 songs, definitely worth a listen.
