I've been vaccinated and I'm on the spectrum 🤷🏼♂️. At least I'm not dead, lol.

For real, I did not need to hear some anti-vax bars while at work today.

I didn't realize that Jeezy had actually sold that many albums. I guess he's been a lot more prolific than Travis though.
You really can't compare album sales for someone whose been around 10 years longer, and debut'd during the height of.. well.. album's actually selling. As much as they tried with the "equivalent units" thing it's never been a very fair comparison to when there was 2-3 "CD Stores" in every mall, and a massive section at every Best Buy and Circuit City (RIP).
This.
Anyone who's came up within the last 5 years is obviously going to have fewer albums sold just due to the fact that album sales, in general, are way down. Like B.O.B has sold over 4 million+ but dude hasn't been relevant since 2012.

Thoughts on Joey Purp? Duckwrth? I've known about them for a while but I really dig into a couple of their albums and REALLY enjoy them.
What's the best album of the year so far to some of you? Curious. Need to listen to more.

J Hus: Big Conspiracy is probably my favorite of the year so far tbh

Joey Purp is nice. I liked iiiDrops and Quarterthing, so I hope he drops a project this year.
Even though we're 2 months into the year, I really like:
- Against All Logic's 2017-2019: Electronic album with some roughness by Nicolas Jaar.
- Sega Bodega's Salvador: Experimental pop, extra on the experimental.
- The Medhane album, the Navy Blue album. and the new Tha God Fahim are also quite good.
What's up Tearable! Hope you're doing well. I'll give this a listen.
Awesome! I'll give these all a listen in the coming hours.
I think my favorite album so far is Modus Vivendi by 070 Shake, or Circles...it's tough. I THINK I'd give the edge to MV...
Damn. The song Zulu Screams by GoldLink is a damn banger...
Forever one of the most incredible songs in existence. 3k's verse is just beautiful.
A drake and Benny track will be interesting cuz Brent gonna smoke him regardless but damn if drake don't go hard don't even realease the track
Album sales have meant little since the streaming era began TBH. Way too many shifting metrics and ways that people can inflate numbers. Hell, even recently we learned that in the 00s, Def Jam and others were counting memorabilia that they gave to stores for free as album sales. Artist meltdowns over not going #1 really aren't worth it.
Sales-Age and all of its forms (Box Office threads, Billboard, NPD, etc.) are one of the worst parts of nerd culture TBH.

Next film my guy. 40's era. Reznor is only using era appropriate instruments on the soundtrack.
Its going to be godly.
Someone fill me in on the context. Is she replying to the lyrics of that one song or is this something different?
Russ is one of those high and mighty guys who always brags about mixing and producing his own music. He's just overall annoying because no one cares about him except his russian bot fanbase.
I know Doja has a thing for white boys, but it's a damn shame she also has a thing for that white girl.

I imagine the Benny line is pure drug rap about stretching (and branding) a brick.
Lmao wow I can't remember the last time I've seen someone so absolutely all over the place like that
This.... was a thing? Wut? Paltrow really opened the floodgates huh?
I've been nerding over this billy woods song "Windhoek" the first aspect that comes to mind is how the song sounds like a Kingdom Hearts dungeon over drums. The second aspect is billy woods' very usual way of being non-descriptive about what he's talking about and assuming that the listener always knows or doesn't really care because it sounds good. Mach-Hommy on this song solidifies himself as a rapper who can rap on anything and can easily draw in the listener based on his random outbursts of French or references to obscure shit sporadically. Then he'll say some regular street shit, but Mach-Hommy's street shit hits differently than a lot of other rappers because the lyrical lenses that he uses, illustrates him as more of a complete holistic rapper who can rap about many different topics instead of just having "a thing" that he normally does.
So the last aspect of this song that gets me is billy woods' last verse on this song where he kind of blacks out, and once again, he kind of reminds me of Aesop Rock sometimes where he'll spit some really fucking hard shit and then the next two bars have some very "historical and cryptic meaning", that's not really worth deciphering because really, only billy woods know's what his metaphors are supposed to mean. Luckily, a lot of people who have listened to woods a lot drew some meaning behind this last verse, and apparently the title of the song "Windhoek" is a city in South Africa which is a frequent topic of woods' lyrics.

Instead of poets, you motherfuckers begat accountants
Mach whispered, "how the gat sounded?"
Holy grail, frail chalice
Palace shook while the artillery pounded
Break every idol on your fuckin' mountain
And of course the rhyme scheme on this with "on" sound or "ain" sound.
Just want to point out that this didn't go unread.
On the Mach-Hommy point in particular, i wish it was easier to follow him and point people in his direction but his elusive, enigmatic artistic bowlsheet is the most ridiculous moat around an artist I've seen since the cassette album wave. I respect his moves in terms of wanting to place value in his work and build a specific niche, and i enjoy the stuff that does drip out to us plebs, and he is a fantastically malleable and fascinating rapper, but... just be normal in your weirdness mai gai.
Is this a roundabout way of saying his music is ridiculously expensive?
