I really like what he did on the Black Panther album and the Money Trees feature on Good Kid MaaD City. Looking forward to that dropping.

Boom_Bap · 22-05-2018 1:01pm

I've said it here many times, his last album 90059 is f*cking brilliant top to bottom.
The one previous to that is also a very well put together album with some deadly tracks on it.

Apparently he wasn't supposed to be on the Black Panther Soundtrack, he was in the studio finishing up this album, walked in to the studio next door where Kendrick was, heard a beat and asked to jump on the song.
He has no idea what the song was or what it was for.
I think he ended up doing a couple of verses in that session. He said that in an interview a couple of months back.

I heard the same, think that's a class story imo

Been searching for this song for years.

horsebox09 · 25-05-2018 6:50am

agree completely BoomBap, 90059 was a great album, actually don't think I've liked any TDE album as much since it dropped

horsebox09 · 25-05-2018 7:01am

On another note, lads, this new Pusha T album/EP, Jaysus!

On my 4th listen already, Push barely wastes any lines on here, but Kanye stole the shows, absolutely vicious production! Very RZA influenced in parts, and the bass, crazy!

Push also confirmed in an interview that the Nas album is dropping in June, 7 songs with full kanye production

kwestfan08 · 25-05-2018 5:35pm

Couldn't agree more. Was nervous when I seen it was only 7 tracks long but its so tight and flows so well it's definitely quality over quantity.

Great to see Kanye behind the board as well fully for a project. Makes you remember how talented he is that side of the booth too.

melted_face · 25-05-2018 11:17pm

yes ! it is some piece of work . only 7 songs but each one excellent. also his lines on infrared referencing drake's ghostwriting go p hard . "It was written like Nas but it came from Quentin" is an 'ooooooooh sh1t son !' line if ever there was one.

and in an absolutely brilliant turn of events drake has responded within a day :

New Pusha T is excellent, gives me high hopes for the new Kanye and Nas projects. Real rap is comimg back! I think we're in for a good summer.

It never went away - there has always been good stuff to be found.

VW 1 · 27-05-2018 6:36pm

That Pusha T album is really good, pushing KOD for album of the year so far for me. Nice features from rick ross and kanye too.

Lots more to look forward to as well in the next month to six weeks with Kanye and Nas and Jay Rock.

Presume we wont be scheduled to get anything from Kendrick this year with him having done the black panther album and all the touring?

28-05-2018 9:00am

Loving the new Pusha T

Also, that Childish Gambino video has now hit 200 million on YouTube!!!

Muirshin Durkin · 28-05-2018 12:34pm

new asap rocky album is pretty decent on first listen

1800_Ladladlad · 29-05-2018 12:30am

Been listening to these guys lately.I like them. This song starts at 1:34

peteeeed · 29-05-2018 10:27am

Pusha T going IN on Drake today. Be interesting to see how he responds.

Heading for a big sumner, I'm sure this does wonders for the numbers but I dunno how long Drake can keep this going without losing face.

on the grander scale i don't think its going to hurt drake - he's too big of an artist. but within the rap community he's on the ropes.

really interested to see how he'll respond, push got him good

Boom_Bap · 31-05-2018 11:42am

It's not going to hurt either of them

I'm sure that the majority of Drake's listener-ship hasn't even heard of Pusha T

Just got an email

New Run the Jewels Mixtape available!

Camac Hibs · 01-06-2018 8:00am

New EP from Black Thought and 9th Wonder "streams of thought" released today, pretty solid. 9th has fairly evolved his sound latter years.

peteeeed · 01-06-2018 8:08am

new kanye 'ye' is out (kinda)

weemcd · 01-06-2018 11:35am

New Ye, Black Thought and Run the Jewels in a day?

I've said it before, this is gonna be a hot summer.

Absolute quality on first listen, production is so smooth, might be going a bit far but potentially one of his best albums for me. Looking forward to sticking this one on repeat and getting into it.

Kitty6277 · 01-06-2018 1:40pm

Loving the new Ye, after the first listen I think it's fantastic

horsebox09 · 01-06-2018 3:50pm

Gave the Kanye album a listen, the intro being a track were he's talking to himself about himself is seriously clever and pretty haunting, he deserves to be applauded for speaking on mental health issues in that way; definitely different to what I expected

peteeeed · 01-06-2018 6:40pm

It’s really really good

Shapey Fiend · 01-06-2018 6:55pm

Haven't listened yet but I hope this track helps other people living with the stigma of KARC (Kanye Album Release Cycle-ism).

jimdollard313 · 01-06-2018 7:36pm

really like the new ye too, still prefer new pusha album atm tho

kwestfan08 · 02-06-2018 1:12pm

It's completely fine. Not amazing, not trash just fine. Production is great, the features it has are well placed. The lyrics are letting it down but then you don't come to a Ye project for bars. It's just not as watertight as Daytona was. That album i listen through fully nearly everytime because there isn't a second wasted on it. With ye I get through the first three tracks and it kinda sags with Wouldn't Leave, picks up again with No Mistakes and Ghost Town and sorta ends flat with Violent Crimes.

It's by no means a bad album and Kanye is one of the very few artists to put out (IMO) 8 albums and have none of them be less than good. But it's definitely in the lower half of his discography and not one I can see myself revisiting 12 months from now.

06-06-2018 9:26am

I see Daz popping shots at Kanye :P

06-06-2018 11:25am

New Kanye is a bit of an oddity, it's so short that it barely qualifies as an album which may be to its advantage as it seems to be all killer no filler though I would be interested in seeing if he will tweak it after release as he did Pablo.

The production is second to know, say what you will about the man but he is in a league of his own when it comes to finding and using samples. Nothing in some time has come close to sounding so good and I have high expectations for the Kid Cudi split and the NAS album he produced.

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

miocicmma · 09-06-2018 11:58pm

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.

peteeeed · 14-06-2018 5:51am

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.
