Not listened to those new 2 yet webesc but I will do today I think. I have to clear up a load of brick dust so they will be my soundtrack.

I sort of see what you mean re real friends vs that freestyle fellowship one. There are differences to my ears, cleaner production on Kanye I suppose, but I see where you are coming from.

devin the dude, i've heard that name but dont think i've heard this. it's a throwback to the 80s! sorta reminds me of slick rick or someone like that. biz markie. comfortable/nonchalant style belying good rhymes and decent storytelling. i like the modulations in the delivery, when he suddenly speeds up a little. it's a little bit too laid back for me to enjoy it in the way i would other stuff, also seems to peter out a little, but if it was on the radio i would turn it up.

2nd one is not what i would normally call hip hop. more soul/rnb in the start then goes somewhere else but never mind. brings to mind Isaac hayes but early 2000s. stream of consciousness lyrics and i like those alice coltrane style chimes that pop in and out. not sure about the female vox that come in, it's trying to do a few too many things perhaps, not all that successfully (i do like it when songs wrongfoot you but in this case i don't think it works so well).

i like the album that Pink Siifu track is off, its not just r&b typish stuff but trap, Outkast sounding southern rap,funk and a whole lot of other stuff

he's varied in a way some of his peers aren't last album he did was kind of a punk/free jazz/harsh noise thing

I love devin the dude. he's like a finely tuned balance of several contradictory things but he gets the balance just right so it doesn't veer too far in one direction. and his music is very human

i picked these cause like i said at the start even though i don't like em it would be stupid to play ignorant of it existing, that's where indie rockers failed and then they wonder why nobody gives a shit about the new Low album but Linkin Park seem to be getting more love than ever these days


also again you might fuck with the songs you'll never know

i never liked lil peep but i think the castles ep is "interesting" and alot of critics even people who i never thought would be interested in his music at least think there was something going on with his music even if most of it was junk
