Watched it for breakfast (very nutritious)

Brilliant. Eminem taking the knee too. Dre still not loving police

Great stuff that last night, 50 has put the beef on and looked hilarious upside down!

I can't believe they cut to a dancer when 50p uncurled and got onto his feet so you couldn't see him do it!

Maybe they expected him to fail

I was laughing at that part too - poor Fiddy must have felt well uncomfortable.

I thought the half time show was great, I grew up with these artists bar Kendrick. Don't think 50's heart is really in the music anymore

. Seen in the NFL thread the rap experts weren't impressed

No way - remember listening to his mixtapes all the time back in the day.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #9694 on:** May 13, 2022, 05:42:58 pm »

Mad choice by Kendrick to have Kodak Black all over his album.

The Ghostface feature is killer though.

disgraced cake · « **Reply #9695 on:** May 13, 2022, 08:48:53 pm »

Reckon that new Kendrick Lamar record will need another listen sometime soon. Felt it was very underwhelming to be honest. I did feel the same of his last one upon the first lesson though.

Mother I Sober had me extremely emotional on that first listen.

That new Kendrick album just ain't for my ears

I'm more section 80 & gkmc, his evolution just ain't what made me vibe to his records in the first place

ljycb · « **Reply #9698 on:** May 16, 2022, 12:07:30 pm »

I’m quite underwhelmed by the new Kendrick album as it stands. Kodak Black. 🤮

AndyMuller · « **Reply #9699 on:** May 16, 2022, 05:08:11 pm »

I like it a lot actually. I think it’s probably better than DAMN after a couple of listens.

I feel exactly the same. DAMN was good, but a noticeable step backward. This is weaker still.

For me anyway. Glad others are enjoying it.

My fella got me tickets to see Little Simz in December for my birthday, and it reminded to post in here about how it's a toss-up between Simbi and Tyler for AOTY. If she doesn't become a huge star it'll be a travesty, I honestly think she's the most talented artist to come out of this country in years and years and years.

Point and Kill live

Rolling Stone live

And the actual video for Point and Kill is boss:

https://youtu.be/tvY31eN3gtE

Very true, Little Simz is a rare talent and I think one of the few Uk artists who can breakthrough stateside, she’s that good, a US equivalent would have already been huge.

Interesting question would be apart from her who is the most talented rapper or artists to come out of the UK in the last 5-10 years? I would say Dave has to be in with a shout, a lyricist who can produce his own work, Knucks is another one who can both sing and rap plus produce as is J Hus. I think in terms of more traditional rap Potter Payper is someone who I’ve been very impressed by in recent years.

Melt My Eyez, See Your Future is the best hip hop album I’ve heard so far this year. That’s in a year Kendrick and Pusha have dropped so far which is pretty fucking incredible.

Sorry I meant to post this video with my original post, absolutely phenomenal song this.

Snoop 50 and still rapping his fucking ass off.

I used to think rap would come full circle but these OG's just gonna keep doing there thing till they expire.

Musically, maybe. As a person, no.

Mr. Morale gets better with every listen. Crown is criminally underrated, imo.

Cheers bro. What you been listening to recently? I still lurk a fair bit, but life gets in the way of posting regularly sometimes ey. Also, I'm a bit of a transfer thread junkie but really can't be arsed with all the pointless arguing on there so don't wanna get drawn in...

Stuff I've been listening to recently: -

Black Thought & Danger Mouse - Cheat Codes (great)
Pusha T - It's Almost Dry (great but not on Daytona level)
Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez, See Your Future (great)
The two Vince Staples albums that dropped this year are both great.
Kendrick Lamars album is still growing on me.

What you been diggin'?

I dip in and out of the transfer thread but find it goes around and around in circles most of the time
