    Can't believe I slept on this for so long. Best Wu-affiliated material in a while. This album goes:



    Also, gonna keep hyping Goldlink until one of you wankers realizes the greatness:

    Cheers, liking the second one. Sounds similar to some Pro Era stuff.

    I keep trying to get into that Goldlink album, but I'm just not really feeling it.

    Pell's new album, however...

    Bought a copy of Dillatronic on CD. Mostly old bootlegs I've been listening to for years but the "newer" tracks were solid, as I expected. He really was a genius.

    I guess, just love his flow. Not sure if it's better than Under Pressure so far, but I do like the story running through it with the 'scenes'.

    I'd say my favourite track changes with every listen. Based on play count it's Gorgeous, I think.

    Mine is probably Dark Fantasy. But several others could take that spot, a truly brilliant album.

    5 years, damn. Favourite tracks are probably Runaway/Blame Game/Gorgeous. Phenomenal album though.

    How are we feeling about the new Gibbs?

    Slow burn. It didn't hit me like "damn" the first time, but it keeps getting better. There's a run of tracks from like Careless through Lately that are absolutely amazing.

    Gorgeous or Runaway, with Hell Of A Life up there even if the lyrics are bollocks.

    Runaway for me. Never really liked the album overall but it had some great moments. I forgot it was released on my birthday.

    In other news, Logic can freestyle and complete a Rubik's Cube at the same time: http://pigeonsandplanes.com/2015/11/...y-freestyling/

    That was a great album @Alex Ferguson

    So we're coming up to the end of the year, albums of the year time? In my current thinking it's probably

    1)The Mick Jenkins tape, Waves or whatever.
    2)Action Bronson - Mr Wonderful
    3)JayRock - 90059
    4)Kendrick - TPAB

    and the Pusha album will probably round out the five slipping ahead of JayRock and Kendrick, that's based on little to nothing apart from knowing that every other Pusha album has made by Top 3 of that year.

    I really do need to listen to that Freddie Gibbs album actually. Fuckin' Up The Count is a banger.

    Careless is so fucking good.

    Albums I need to put in some kind of order from this year:

    * TPAB
    * Mr. Wonderful
    * And After That, We Didn't Talk
    * Every Hero Needs a Villain
    * Summertime '06
    * Days With Dr. Yen Lo
    * Tetsuo & Youth
    * Shadow of a Doubt

    In no particular order, my top 5 favourite albums released this year have been:

    Dark Sky Paradise by Big Sean
    Jenny Death by Death Grips
    Slow Motion Vol 1 by Jarren Benton
    Stoney Point by Demrick & DJ Hoppa

    #1 spot is easy though: Integrity by JME

    Plus Logic's album might make the top five, but I've not listened to it enough yet.

    Biggest letdown of 2015 was definitely Cherry Bomb by Tyler The Creator

    There's a free Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman EP up on the Stones Throw website.

    I haven't heard it yet, got to be worth a download though.

    I'm a virgin to this thread, but: thoughts on Kendrick Lamar? He's about the only hip-hop from this millennium that I've enjoyed listening to, and amongst my friends he's surprisingly popular too.

    To Pimp A Butterfly and Anthology by Tribe is the only hip-hop I've really listened to in any meaningful way in my life.

    It's happening. Why don't you listen to more?

    I didn't like To Pimp A Butterfly that much, to be honest. Only a couple of tracks really stood out for me. I'd rather he kept his sound like GKMC.

    On a vaguely related note - whatever happened to Offshore?

    I tend to prefer Kendrick when he does stuff like Black Friday or Deep Water on Dre's album. He's an absolute beast when he decides to go with that kind of style. TPAB is still very good, like. Just a bit too jazzy themed for it to be one of my favourite albums of the year or anything.

    My favourite 5 albums of the year in no particular order:

    Tetsuo & Youth - Lupe Fiasco
    If You're Reading This It's Too Late - Drake
    The Album About Nothing - Wale
    Compton - Dr. Dre
    GO:OD AM - Mac Miller

    Wale, really? Good call on Mac Miller though, I need to listen to that one again.

    @spoon, Kendrick is deserving of the hype he gets and at the moment there's no one close to him artistically (Yeezus was cool, but Kanye isn't really delivering top form recently). I only consider around 8-10 albums 'modern classics', and Kendrick has made 2-3 of them.

    The list:

    Wale's album was really good, I felt. It might be slightly nostalgic because I loved his mixtapes back in '08/'09 and think he hasn't really returned to that style of music until his album this year. When I looked over the list of albums that have come out this year, his is one of my most played, so yeah.

    GO:OD AM is great. I do slightly prefer his last album, but it's one of those albums that's so easy to just press play and listen all the way through without skipping any tracks.

    I can't listen to too much Mac Miller (ie a full album) because his voice reminds me too much of Devvo.

    I've just given Kid Cudi's new effort a spin.

    It's one of the worst things I've ever heard. Whiny, droning shit over a load of guitars. My hopes of MOTM3 being anything like the first two (despite him saying he was going to use a lot of the same producers) is dwindling rapidly. I mean, I could get on board with INDICUD because it was still essentially a hip-hop album, but this isn't. And whatever genre it is simply isn't very good.

    I still find it most of it very abrasive and the lyrics off-putting. For me it has basically got to have some sort of jazzy element in it to make the rap worth listening to. To Pimp A Butterfly is just so damn musical.
