Philly, Find me someone else who reviews albums as articulate / researched as him.

I think it's amazing

 

It's actually like art. People are analysing and dissecting it like art. I listened to it twice now and i still feel like it needs more listens in order to properly digest it. I have honestly never been made to feel that way by a musical album before.  

 

I think the greatest music is that which makes you feel deeply. This sh*t made me feel deeply. I mean... usually my mood dictates what i want to listen to, but i lock this on and how i feel and what is going on in my head is totally driven by what i'm hearing.

 

I understand that this may not be for everyone (i kindah think you need to love that bluesy/jazzy sound).

 

In some ways it's not an easy listen.

 

But this sh*t (the second part of 'you', where he goes off on some self-hate tangent for the way he has progressed and left some people behind, in particular) has really resonated with me.

 

and i think it's crazy that so many other people have been made to felt this way.

C/s everything

Only album on this level is Lupes imo

They have taken rap to another level/different direction this year

It's a beautiful thing happening

Are we not allowed an opinion on rap now?

2015 and guys aren't clicking on an album review video because the guy is white

But same guys won't post an actual analysis of the album from themselves or alternatively somebody credible which I'm guessing is someone with black skin ?

[The Infamous]

Bane is such a terrible character

Mad predictable

[Kuffir]

when u consider the themes on this album a review by a white guy kinda defeats d point nah ?

 

andrew noz

justin charity

shea serrano 

david turner

 

some black writers, dunno if theyve reviewed this i aint listened so why would i read a review

 

ill post my thoughts when i do but im in no rush tbh

 

again i didnt say it was an issue of credibility/quality stop drawing

 

/

 

u urself just said lupes album is d only one on the level of this which is 1 of the main things i was getting at in my initial posts, im not sure y u been arguing..

[The Infamous]

Cos hes crowd following faggot

fam i just wanna see more black faces in a black industry in positions of power. respected voices. that simple.

[Kuffir]

Cos hes crowd following faggot

 

na real talk it it is abit strange that that was literally how this discussion began and then pages later after some reaching/diversion tactics the point is finally conceded in some low key fashion 

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Cos hes crowd following faggot

If I was a crowd following faggot id be coming in here saying it's dead after listening to it twice without giving any explanation as to why it's shit but dismissing a 22 minute because the person who made it was white

I didn't agree with or say Lupe couldn't make this album

I said it's very harsh to dismiss a project like this which he spent a year on researching, assembling and producing.

I then said it's ironic that Lahi is citing Lupe, when Lupe said people shouldn't dismiss an artist work which took so long to make after only a couple listens and compared it to art ie you need to take it apart, find its meanings, piece it together as it's disrespectful to just say it's dead after one or two listens which Lahi came in and done

[Yoshie]

Only black review I've seen on the album was on Pitchfork and that was shit, about as much content as a 140 character tweet.

 

Then again what does this white guy know about black music.

 

Pathetic.

[The Infamous]

Kendrick lamar stans are the worst

This album post mike brown would get air

Not when it's a review of the album, explaining the difference between this, gkmc and section 80

Highlighting the different genres he has explored as well as the features

Giving a list of different topics and concepts covered by the album

Also pointing out a couple small things such as the end of each poem after each song gives an indication of what the next song is going to be about

The guys not there to review the topics covered and pass a judgement or opinion on

That's what kendrick does through the album and his lyrics

Which is why I don't understand the whole

"Not clicking because he is white" talk

[Mame Biram Diouf]

On top of that I posted a written review by a black man and it got air
