  1. I liked Be and Finding Forever so much that I was able to forgive Universal Mind Control and move on as if it never happened. But, truthfully, I think I am hip hop'd out. It's as if I woke up one day after listening to the genre primarily for the last ten years and concluded I was fed up with what has become of it.

    Well, personally, since rappers began to promote themselves more actively on the internet, I've found rap to be a bit refreshing as of late. IMHO, it seems rappers are taking more risks. But that mostly applies to the underground (or however folks label it).

    Personally, I'm tired of people trying to emulate rap music from almost 20 years ago. It shows a lack of imagination and ambition. It's equivalent to some of the crap getting air time on the radio. Just another type of lazy. And I'm tired of seeing comments "about real hip-hop," on every youtube vid. Not saying that's what you meant, but it's just something I've been reflecting on for a while.

    If I want to reach for 90's sounding rap, I know where to look. I don't need to hear someone's failed/modern day attempt at trying to emulate DJ Premier/Pete Rock. LOL.

  2. If you haven't already, you need to check out the new Common album. Killer.

    I wanna like the album, but part of me keeps calling Common a fucking hypocrite. It just irks me that the dude who was pussy-whipped by Erykah (so much so that he made a fucking love song), and put out universal mind control, has the gall to call anyone's music "soft." And I really don't give much of a shit when it comes to drake.
