Freddie Gibbs - Shadow of a Doubt is fantastic.
No Ceilings 2(just dropped) is........well, 2015 Wayne. Some bars, and a lot of auto tune. It's wavy, but not vintage Wayne so to a non Wayne fan, it's probably trash. He's like Young Thug's dad at this point.
Lil Wayne = Kobe Bryant = Peyton Manning in 2015.

Belly on the other hand, just released a contender for project of the year with "Up for days". it's pretty chilled.
Also just signed with Roc Nation, so you know he's about to blow up. Finally.

Has it occurred to anyone that Drake and The Weeknd are singing to each other in Hotline Bling and the Hills?
That Wenger Album is great.
Amen
Corny but typical.
Anyone heard Rick Ross new album 'Black Market' - just giving it a spin, wow so far!
J Cole and Dreamville crew are dropping a mixtape on 11th of Dec.

LL Cool J won a Grammy for Mama Said Knock You Out which takes shots at Kool Moe Dee.
Hmm I didn't know that, but I guess it's in the best rap performance category since that's still quite new?
Wasn't that the album?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Rap_Solo_Performance
It was first best rap performance, then split into solo and duo and then put back together again.
Yeah so technically, there hasn't been a diss song nominated for "best rap performance".
It's the same category but it's a different name, so technically it's still the first in that category. Not sure if that made sense.
Going on from that though i'm glad Kendrick has been recognised for the album he put out, lyrically it's one of the best i've heard in so long, and politically it's very apt too.
A lot of people on my facebook and twitter feed are saying J.Cole has been robbed and his album was the best because it didn't have anybody featured on it and still went platinum. I'm not sure I really get that logic.
J.Cole and the Dreamville crew released a mixtape last night, not sure if anyone heard it:

General feedback is really good so i'll give it a spin later tonight.
Yeah it's awesome. I don't listen to much HipHop these days (more of an RnB \ Soul guy) but this album is the best release of the year for me.
'Ghostwriter' has me hooked!
What A Time To Be Alive is quite good I just realized.
Anybody heard Cudi's new album, Speedin' Bullet To Heaven?
Cudi's came out a few days ago. Haven't heard Pushs yet
Listen to Pusha like two times today, nothing special but it's a nice listen imo, especially from the producers point of view.
MPA is dope and Beanie's verse on Keep Dealing is spiritual
When It's Dark Out is probably my favorite album to come out this year. Clear maturation from Young Gerald and some hard bars.
Was disappointed in Pusha's project. Waiting for the real album.
Busta and DOOM going back and forth over a Dilla beat
Yeezy album coming out next month
Kanye, Kendrick and Madlib.
I love both the new tracks but the beat on Real Friends is
Gangsta Gibbs on a Madlib beat. Enough said.
- Good album
Anyone see B.o.B's Twitter rant the other day? Was banging on about the world being flat or some shit.
He released a new song tonight, its on iTunes
Jazz Cartier's new album Hotel Paranoia is out. Already on Spotify and Soundcloud.
