He put roc marci on a track w actual drums

The Roc Marci song is a highlight for me

It really is

>The Roc Marci song is a highlight for me

I’m not the biggest durk fan to begin with but I like some of his shit. Him and Baby do not mesh at all to me. At least as far as a whole album goes

And these beats are real bland

<--- Big Baller World Order

Good for them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yXqRiXMru0

I looked these bands p too:
The Young Fresh Fellows released an album in 2020????

And the Lemonheads are back together and working on a new record??

AND, the Hoodoo Gurus are back together?????

I remember when we thought The Rolling stones were old.

I'm taking a break from new music after the news of Gift of Gab. Revisiting his work.

A few more catching my eye on here, Bobby Feeno, Crimeapple (is this a deluxe or a whole new album?), RJ Payne.

Gone: My Discogs collection for The Roots:
http://www.discogs.com/user/tomhayes-roots/collection

Everything there is to love about them is there, but a little more focused than CYW. Doesn't meander as much, but still wild and free.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

It takes a long time to get going or something. London Gangs and Trap Life sound like slightly lesser versions of earlier songs. It's still cool, not bad or anything. Just doesn't hit me the same.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

I've only learned about him in the past few months, so I haven't checked much of his earlier work (I did pick up his really dope cover of Prototype on a 7" at RSD), so this is almost surprisingly good.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

definitely an album i would recommend. a few songs arent great to me but as a whole i love the album.

not a fan of the name but whatever lol

checked out the doja, curren$y, rj payne and crimeapple too. these were mostly skips for me. crimeapple did have a couple tracks ill come back to but definitely a drop compared to his previous album this year.

This is battling that Topaz Jones for my favorite of the year so far.

AKA Bobby Feeno. I remember I really liked his first album and was wondering if he was going to drop something else. Looks like he dropped an EP in 2019, need to check it out. This new one is good too. Love the beat selections.

Really good week. Evidence and Tyler were great. Hiatus Kaiyote was really good too. Sault was solid.

Still need to check out Doja Cat, Curren$y & Jetlife Family, RJ Payne, CRIMEAPPLE and DJ Kay Slay.

I think often he raps like a more engaging J. Cole. And I missed that EP too, but was a big fan of Flamingo & Koval

And I listened to The Marias today. It's cool. They're kinda one note as a band, but they're playing that one note well on this album.
