So Kanye has tweeted over 100 times in the last hour. If nothing else he might get De La Soul on streaming, even if Donda is never happening.

Edit: This is turning out to be one of his better manic episodes.

Great album.

I also just noticed “Felt” dropped a new album about a month ago (Slug and Murs) produced by Ant. Both Felt and Atmosphere have serious issues when using Tidal, as there are other artists of the same name in there messing it up.

Lastly, new Class for the Classified fans:

Love coming across rare stuff.

I really enjoyed this. Doesn't make up for the show that got cancelled here with Rage, but it's something at least.

Anyone check out that new Benny the Butcher album? Hit Boy does the beats for the whole project and it's pretty great. Sounds like a NY rap album from the early 2000's but tweaked for 2020.

The Benny album is pretty decent, if you like him check out Flee Lord. Griselda adjacent as it were.

New 3MG? Woooooooooooo

Opinions on the new Busta? New Black Thought? New Common?

For the record the correct responses are dope, dope, and not my thing but still dope.

Eminem dropped a surprise album b-side to Music To Be Murdered By. I like it, though I can always do without the skits and stuff like that beefing up the number of tracks. Still haven't heard an Eminem album I didn't like.

Couple listens through and it just gets better.

Gnat is a masterpiece:

I get hooked on some weird songs, for weird reasons. I currently love this and have probably listened to it a hundred times since I first heard it:



Honestly, I don't even know what it means, but its awesome. It's the kind of thing my wife laughs about because I love all this and really can't possibly relate at all.

I know there are a couple of you left around here and seeing best of 2020 lists I’m realizing I clearly don’t have enough indie backpack cred. In no particular order my favourite albums of 2020:

Unlocked - Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats
Mauve - King Fantastic
Cincoriginals - Tobe Nwigwe
The Allegory - Royce the 5’9”
Slab Talk - Paul Wall and Lil Keke
I Miss Hyphy - Mistah F.A.B.
Anime, Trauma, and Divorce - Open Mike Eagle
So Help Me God - 2 Chainz
Rocamerikkka 2 - Flee Lord & Eto
Love & Rockets Vol 2 - MURS and DJ Fresh

Plenty I left off or swap in and out (Flee Lord releases like 10 projects a year) but that’s a good starting point.
