It's under Kids See Ghosts on Spotify

Any opinions on kanye cudi? Wasnt what I expected, didnt feel it at all. Is seven tracks to become a kanye production 'thing'?

Struggle bars from Weezy. Sad to see a man who was on top of his game in 2009 unable to lyrically merk a easy target like 6ix9ine.

Amazing album.

Production is amazing. Cudi was brillant on it. Kanye's best rapping in years
Reborn my favourite song this year.

This Friday, June 15, Nas will release a new album, entirely produced by Kanye West. As Rap Radar founder Elliott Wilson announced via Twitter, Nas will be throwing a listening party tomorrow night in Queens, New York.

Is this going to be another 7 track album. What is that all about? Is there some hidden meaning to it?

Isn't 7 classified as the number of perfection in the bible or something like that. God created the world in 6 days, & rested on the 7th, etc...

It's a 7 deadly sins thing apparently.

Listened to Pusha today, pretty good.
Listened to Ye the other day, it's fairly average if you ask me.
Still need to listen to the Kudi one.

Black Thought EP is pretty good, although I'd like to hear slightly better beats.

Chris Orrick - Portraits
Not a bad album at all from Chris (formerly Red Pill) but it's missing a big song.

I don't get the hype around Kanyes album either, first 3 tracks are decent at best.

Boom_Bap

I'll give Kanye a few more spins though to see if I'm missing anything.




But I contrast that to something like Parades, a new album from Longshot (Chicago MC) and Lazerbeak (MN Producer) and I immediately love it.

Should I have to listen to a Kanye album a few times to see if I like it?




Kanye X Nas is out today.
Jay Rock is out today.

Liked Jay Rock's redemption and really respect the fact that he doesnt just get Kendrick on every track, even to tge extent that he took him off King's Dead. Lot of solid tracks in there, not sure there's any standout singles tho. Pity there was no black hippy contribution, usually like when they throw a track in together.

The NAS album i thought was pretty tight, but again it was far too short. Not sure what's up with the seven track albums, definitely prefer a longer format.

Kanye gonna have 7 projects complete by the summer. 7x7 is my prediction.

Dropping another next week.

Haven't really had enough spins of Ye, Kids see ghosts and Nasir yet. I've found them generally decent with no skippable tracks which is incredible in 2018. I'm struggling to find stand out tracks, but some may sink in over time.

Overall I'm happy, but Pusha is head and shoulders above any of the other recent releases so far for me.

Jay Z has released an album with Beyoncé

Loving Ye, Kids see ghosts and Nasir. Jay rocks new album is brilliant as well, First track "The bloodiest" the standout. What a month it's been

Shapey Fiend

Nocando after dropping one of these little 8 track, 25 minute mini albums as well. Liking it more than his last couple of projects.

JaMarcus

XXXtentacion has been shot dead...

Shapey Fiend

Jimmy Wopo got shot dead yesterday as well. I liked his tunes a lot.

Harambe

Kids see ghosts mini album is brilliant. Kanye is on fire with the production.

That apesh*t track is trash.

The album as a whole is better than that track would have you think

I'm getting auld... That sounds like pure scutter to me. It's like a music project done by a special needs class.

In complete agreement. That is trash.

More Win from Jay Rock
