Killah Priest threads in 2017, lawd. I wonder who my generation's Killah Priest is going to end up being? It couldn't be Ab-Soul.

That's an interesting qualifier. I've griped to WebE about this but both Westside and Conway to me are just Uncle Murda style generic NYC rappers who got ahold of the 'right' beats. If they were A-Mafia nobody'd give a shit about them, but they have good managers. And both fucking suck...

The Singing/Charisma/Good-Songs triumvirate is a rare breed now. D'Angelo is not as good a singer as Bilal but Bilal cannot write songs with nearly as much immediacy and Bilal's charisma is like that of the sweaters his fans wear while picking weed grindings out of the mohair they struggle with...

I honestly thought her best collabs circa the last album were with JMIKE, that sort of fluorescent, yearning energy. A real shame he didn't make the cut a lot here. I do like "Distraction" a lot though.

Its almost as if these DJs/Magazines/Websites should have international coverage so they could help scenes in places like Africa manifest... *Hmm Emoji*

Its OK, but I feel like Pop & Oak are a bad choice of team to work with for her.

Also to be fair, have you heard a Rakim song of late? The delivery's there but 'effort' is not always something you can describe Rakim as performing.

Nah, they just don't sound like Grime which is a lot of effort. The greatest Giggs quote of all time was that one interview where he described Grime as "A lot of guys doing a lot but not saying much, not REALLY". It works best when you imagine it in his voice. Of course now my man's career...

I used to read this amazing net essay on Bowie's Occultist Obsession on some webpage but I've never since been able to find it. EDIT: http://www.parareligion.ch/bowie.htm AYYYYY decade old essays, we outchea

Yeah again, that's actually a much smaller piece of the pie than we're led to believe. Solange's commercial recognition is a result of a long period of strategic reinvention over the course of several records and working alongside trends; Bryson is one of many post-Drake pop-rap/R&B hybrids...

The problem with that is the R&B Industry is kind of overly segmented right now in that the core demographic radio listeners are split between younger and older (the grown & sexy, more orthodox and 'retiring' crowd vs. the younger dance/rap/pop acknowledging crowd) and that's not acknowledging...

You people really comparing Armand and Todd like there's some sort of competition, they're two different fields. Armand is Todd Terry's spiritual son, Edwards wants to be Dope & Vega. Also Luka "Build A Wall" with his anti-Hispanic bias! And people pretending anyone in the US cares about...

Yeah, I mean, the immediate bridge between both these songs is the misery that is the Tina Turner comeback. "What's Love Got To Do With It" is the soulless version of these two songs having a child.

To tip my hat to the enemy, I don't think you can piss on a guitar solo for "Ain't Nobody" when the Harmonica Solo on "Feel For You" is right there.
