    I just watched it. A lot better than I expected to be honest. I love how much of a hip hop head Ye is underneath all the rest of the bullshit.

    Yeah, it was actually pretty uneventful for a two hour Kanye interview but I enjoyed it.

    Meanwhile the Kid Cudi documentary on Prime “A Man Named Scott” is turd.

    Leaves so much out. Fair enough when he refuses to talk about any songs on Speeding Bullet cos it was a dark time or whatever (but even then, come on mate you’re meant to be alright now. Talk about it) but it doesn’t mention any of his acting. I remember enjoying How To Make It In America, which he was in. No mention. Entourage Movie? Nope.

    Also talks about making Day N Nite but there’s literally no mention of how the remix came about, or that process. 9 people out of 10 think of the Crookers Remix when they think of that song, and we see him dancing to it at a gig, so tell us about it plz.

    Plain Pat though man. What a character. I’d watch a ten part series just about him.

    Also Shia LeBeouf’s arms are incredible. Definitely got arm envy.

    It's mad that Something for Thee Hotties is better than most albums and it's literally a bunch of Megan Thee Stallion's "loosies."

    Also, the Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) album seems pretty fucking special after one listen.

    I've not actually listened to (aside from hearing the singles on the radio and that) a Kanye West album since Graduation, lol. I absolutely loved College Dropout, quite liked Late Registration, and didn't care for Graduation so totally lost interest. I was gonna ask if I should try some of the newer stuff but I guess it's pretty obvious the resounding response will be yes, so which album should I listen to?

    MBDTF is essentially 'perfect', but if you don't care for perfect then Yeezus is the better album. TLOP is a 9/10 album padded out into an 8/10 too. Also check out Kids See Ghosts with Kid Cudi, which is easily a 10.

    Everything he's done has quality in it, but sometimes it's quite heavily drowned in shit (only ye and JIK are anywhere near bad, though).

    I still maintain that TLOP has the highest count of truly great tracks out of all of his albums.

    I’m glad I’m not alone I’m thinking TLOP was pretty incredible. MBDTF will probably always be my favourite though.

    I just love the mad cunt.

    TLOP's highs (30 Hours, Wolves, Real Friends the standouts for me) are as high as anything he's ever done, but as an album it doesn't really flow. I think if you take out half the tracks it becomes a 9, possibly 10 if some cohesion can be formed.

    No argument there, it's pretty awful as an album experience. I'd add Saint Pablo to your list as well, then there's a slew of tracks just under that tier (Waves, ULB, FML, No More Parties in LA, Famous).

    Edit: Actually, bump No More Parties up to the S-tier category.

    Yeah, that's pretty much how I see it too.

    I also rate Donda on par with 808s as a 7-8/10. Fivio on Off The Grid is just madness. That and Glidin' by Pa Salieu are my top tracks of the year

    I would say it's my favourite of their three collaborations so far too, on early listening! I think they've improved together with each project. Nas is ageless, isn't he? You know how some rappers, however sharp they stay lyrically, just start to sound old and tired? Nas sounds the same as when he was twenty.

    Watched this today (first part of Jeen Yuhs, the Kanye Netflix doc) and goddamn I can’t believe I’ve gotta wait until 23rd February to watch the second part. Will probably watch the first part again when it hits Netflix in 2 weeks. So good to see him young, hungry and optimistic, and watching his mum rap his songs was great.

    I’m glad we’re watching this now so we can “give Kanye his flowers” while he’s still alive and making music.

    In a new interview with Connecticut hip hop station Hot 93.7, Minaj said: “I will say this album will be the closest thing we’ll ever probably get to Pink Friday 2.0, and that’s why I keep stressing ‘Pink Friday, Pink Friday’.”

    Does anyone have any stand out favourites of 2022 so far? Nothing has come out that has totally blown me away but it's early days, and there have been a few solid releases I think.

    A few early favourites:

    Jam Baxter - Fetch the Poison

    Probably my favourite rap release of the year so far. Just a really solid release. It's on the longer side too (pushing an hour) but it holds up. I've got increasingly into UK Hip-Hop (the sort of boom-bap-ish, east coast inspired brand of it anyway) over the last couple of years and this guy is one of the better ones out there. Has a cool multi-lingual posse cut (people should do this more often) with some guys from (I think) Brazil too.

    Earl Sweatshirt - Sick!

    I'm not a huge Earl fan. And when I say that, I don't mean I've anything against him. I think he's very talented. He just inspires absolute fervour in some people, and I'm not on that level. But this is a really solid project. I feel like it's maybe not as, I don't know, "dark" as some of his other work. It's good. I think what Earl does really well is stay on the cutting edge production wise. He sounds experimental but still decidedly Hip-Hop at the same time. It helps when you can undeniably spit like he can.

    AJ Suede & Televangel - Metatron's Cube

    I had never heard of either of these guys going into it. Well, in a round about way I do know one of them. The producer, Televangel, is (I think) one half of Blue Sky Black Death, if anyone remembers them! Really solid album.

    Bloodmoney Perez & Messiah Muzik - Second Hand Accounts

    This is just one of those under the radar releases that deserves a bit more exposure. Quite sort of wordy, off beat but dope Hip-Hop. Messiah Muzik produced a lot of Backwoodz Studioz (Billy Woods et al) and this sounds a lot like a Backwoodz release despite not being one. That's the best review I can give it really.

    Che Noir - Food for Thought

    Che Noir is very underrated, big Jean Grae vibes for me. Great little 30 minutes of beats and rhymes. Conceptually quite strong as a body of work, and she owns the whole "female emcee" thing without making it a crutch or a gimmick. Raps and produces too I think. She's super talented.

    The Woods album is indeed great. My favourite rap album of the year so far I would say.

    History Will Absolve Me is ten years old this year, he's basically has not missed once since then. It's been a really fantastic run.

    The new Pusha T album is dope. I think it's better than Daytona. The reunion with Malice on the last track is amazing. Just give me more Clipse music lads.

    Agree its better than DAYTONA. I said to my mate earlier its his best solo work. It's impressive that he's becoming more consistent so the best may well be yet to come.
