Have you been to see Kendrick on his UK tour yet?
I'm definitely on the page of separate the artist from the art so in my book you're good. But I would also advise you never listen to R Kelly for reasons disconnected to morality.
I’m from LA my man…
I’m on the same boat but specifically asking can I still play flashing lights at the kickback or keep that forever tucked away now
what are you referring to about r Kelly? I’m not recognizing the reference. Don’t really listen to much of his work anyways even before the whole mess.How was he?!I’m seeing him tonight
Give him chance, he only posted 11 minutes before you

just woken up and not quite with it! I'll stabs by until later!So i'm probably very late on this, but I never even knew about it, and i'm sure some casual rap fans wouldn't either.
This is an album of Eminem that was released before he got signed - apparently it flopped. I absolutely love it though.

He was great!
Started with United in Grief, finished with Saviour and also did Family Ties with Keem just before.
He pretty much did the whole of Mr Morale barring Auntie Diaries, Mother I Sober and We Cry Together (there was a short bit of it).
Didn’t do any Section 80, did Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe, Backseat Freestyle, Money Trees, Maad City (this one was so good) and Swimming Pools.
He did Alright and King Kunta off TPAB and from Damn he did DNA, Element, Love, Humble, Loyalty and like the first half of Lust. I would’ve wanted more from TPAB but I get he has to appeal to all. Loved it though.
Some good old Aussie rap;
Jealous...sounds like an amazing time.
I quite liked that. I tried to think of other Aussie rappers and I remembered the New Zealand rapper Scribe. I used to like this song
Eminem’s list of rappers he shouted out at the rock and roll hall of fame was brilliant.
KD3 just out. Halfway through and, like almost everything Nas does, it's v good. Not as many instant bangers as KD2 and KD1 to my mind, but still a really good album. For me, in order it's KD2>KD1>KD3.
Just listened. He's on an insane run in his 4th decade. I like how there are no guests on this one for the most part.
Thun is my favourite so far, feels like a spiritual successor to The Message. Beef is another.
I started watching Snabba Cash yesterday and the opening theme is pretty sick!
Heard on the radio that people started chanting kendricks' in box.. gota love the brits. Bet he's thinking we're all mad - hes not wrong.
Ridiculous isn't it?! He just makes it look so easy. You can see he's fully at ease with himself and his process - an OG at the peak of his powers! Thun was the standout for me too.
There were also loads of "Ohhh Kendrick Lamar" to the tune of Seven Nation Army which I'm sure he hasn't got a clue about
I can listen to majority of Nas’s old albums and it reconfirms why I have him 2nd in my all time list. But for whatever reason, the last 10 years or so of Nas albums, I just can’t get into after the initial listen. I’ll think it’s great but never go back to it.
“First time you heard Nas
You probably heard somebody say that I pick bad beats”
nice that he acknowledges the criticism. He always had a bad ear for beats

Whole album slaps but this remake from The Weeknd was the stand out.
really enjoyed this today, loved the cover too, probably prefer it over the Mario Winans version
Yes that Metro album is boomin. Really good project, love Don.
Anyone been following Bronx and Brooklyn Drill? An incredible amount of bloodshed over the last few years......
Coming this March to a streaming service near you.
In terms of the music I rock with 22Gz and Pop Smoke (goes without saying. Also, RIP), haven’t really given Sheff G a chance but I heard he’s good too
"You cannot say pop and forget the smoke." RIP
Check the new kids from the Bronx. Although the big two who made waves, Kay Flock and D Thang got locked up last year.
Nice down to earth interview with Canibus about the Eminem thing.
I've been watching most of the videos for the past week or so and Canibus has grown so much. He was a loose cannon in the 2000s. I hope the interviews give him the respect he deserves after the whole battle rap fiasco a few years ago
I feel you mate. I got sentimental after watching the interviews and I relistened to 2nd Round KO again, what a track! He really deserves some respect.I've been watching most of the videos for the past week or so and Canibus has grown so much. He was a loose cannon in the 2000s.

Just a reminder for De La Soul fans that their first six albums will be available on streaming services from tomorrow
Can't wait!
Can't wait!
Anyone see the video of 6ix9ine getting jumped in a restroom?
“scaring the hoes” by Danny Brown and Jpegmafia a very fun album for anyone who likes that sort of thing
Not strictly hip-hop but the new 6lack album is so good.
I've liked his stuff before but never found his albums to be that consistent. East Atlanta Love Letter had maybe 4 or 5 good songs on but the rest were average.
I will give this a listen, wasn't even aware he had one out.
Ren - not hip hop or rap, In fact I don't know what this guys lane is... but talented.
