4. "its rare that im all caught up" In response to Reply # 3
its mostly big buzz albums by artists that im not really into that bug me. when everyones talking about an album midweek while im still trying to listen to albums from the past friday or before lol. i dont really wanna skip the earlier albums. now for an artist that i love im with it whenever. i will skip other albums.
i think i like structure too, give me some predictability lol.
17. "yeah move the date back to tuesday" In response to Reply # 6
that doesnt bother me. but dont release albums between designated release days lol if they move the release dates to tuesday you know you will still have some folks dropping theirs on thursdays and saturdays. stick to a single day.

Happy at some point to go in depth but in summary, this is everything I could have hoped for from them. It all lines up...content, bars, production, humor, reality/spirituality, growth, flow/concepts, back/forth on some authentic mc type. All of it. Great work LB.
27. "these are my highly rated projects" In response to Reply # 26
these can go up against any album - must listens Blu & Damu The Fudgemunk - Ground & Water Lucky Daye - Painted Choosey & Exile - Black Beans KOTA the Friend - FOTO Your Old Droog - Transportation
results may vary but great projects Black Milk - DiVE Tyler the Creator - IGOR Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. IZ HERE Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Bandana Little Brother - May The Lord Watch Pell - Gravity Ruth B. - Maybe I'll Find You Again YBN Cordae - The Lost Boy
pretty good to great - worth checking out Nas - The Lost Tapes II Berner & Curren$y - Pheno Grigio Curren$y, Jay Worthy, and LNDN DRGS - Umbrella Symphony Dreamville - Revenge of the Dreamers III Zacari - Run Wild Run Free SAULT - 5 Anderson .Paak - Ventura The Black Keys - Let's Rock Goldlink - DIASPORA Chali 2na & Krafty Kuts - Adventures Of A Reluctant Superhero Alex Isley - The Beauty of Everything, Pt. 2 Murs - The Iliad is Dead and The Odyssey is Over Inspectah Deck - Chamber No. 9 Your Old Droog - It Wasn't Even Close MED & Guilty Simpson - Child of the Jungle BJ the Chicago Kid - 1123 People Under the Stairs - Sincerely, The P Maxo Kream - Brandon Banks Curren$y & Statik Selektah - Gran Turismo
29. "curious which albums would make your list" In response to Reply # 28
the third tier i would probably shorten but some at the bottom of the list were some of my favorites so i had to include them lol. i sorted it by pure rating so didnt want to modify it. these are the ones i would actually recommend from the third tier.
Curren$y, Jay Worthy, and LNDN DRGS - Umbrella Symphony Dreamville - Revenge of the Dreamers III Zacari - Run Wild Run Free Anderson .Paak - Ventura Murs - The Iliad is Dead and The Odyssey is Over MED & Guilty Simpson - Child of the Jungle People Under the Stairs - Sincerely, The P
i feel like the others need more listens from me to either have a correction on their rating or to remind me why i rated them so high. not to say they arent good projects but they didnt stick with me personally.
32. "I said I didn't want to do the work ! haha" In response to Reply # 29

I think I'm more excited about this album than I should be. I kind of dismissed it when I heard 9th wasnt on there. Cause to me that's not Little Brother. But when I heard "U Black Niggas Network"......tears welled up

showed his ass on this one.
i mean. he came off, lyrically, on this album.
and the chemistry w/ him and tay was great. like, i imagine they had to have some joint writing sessions b/c they weren't just trading verses, they were continuing each other's rhyme schemes.

Yes! So important to this project IMO. Made it clear that the chemistry was still there.

SO GOOD!!
Favorites: The Feel Sittin Alone All in a Day Work Through Me
One of the best: Everything Man...these dudes spittin some REAL ASS LIFE on this joint. That Tay line about "he admitted 'my sex drive is fucking me, man in recovery, but relapse into a set of DD's, somewhere inside a fuckin Doubletree, right outside Montgomery..." Bro. Plus, when they thrown in that "HUH?"...it's always the right time for it.
THE BESTEST MOST ILLEST (lol) Goodmorning Sunshine Shit makes me want to hold my wife and never let her go. That sounds corny, but I'm being real. Tay's signing on that hook hits me in my SOUL. I've probably listened to this song 50 times since Tuesday. That's not hyperbole, either.
Some great comedy on here, too. "MAY GOD BLESS OUR...NATION AND THIS STATION" All skits are perfectly placed. Just a complete experience...as opposed to a collection of songs. Tay just continues to be one of the best fucking rappers, man. Haven't even been able to Blu, yet.
