I enjoyed the interviews for the rollout more than the album lol. Push said in one that Pharrell told him we've heard all that coke shit before and challenging him for more. I can imagine Pharrells frustration, must be like getting blood from a stone. If he succeeded in any way I missed it on the first listen, although I tuned out of the lyrics quite quickly I can't lie, seemed the same old same old Push to me which I've never found very interesting.
Nice enough production though.

Smashed it, that second beat 🔥
Reason to Smile is best rap album so far this year for my money.
Yes, it really is an amazing album, more people should check it out.
Disappointingly but unsurprisingly, DJ Tim Westwood accused of sexual misconduct by seven women in joint investigation by The Guardian and BBC.

Fewtch coming with my most anticipated announced album. Whispers of a double disk too

i told you i would get back to you about the billy woods so here i am, i've listened to it a few times. i didn't expect anything less from the guy, the features are all pretty strong. one thing i'll point out, the song with breeze brewin and el-p, with all three of them switching small verses was pretty dope.
i don't feel compelled to comment on anything else since there would be too much to quote, you probably get what i mean. i'll also add that while the production from preservation isn't anything different from what woods usually raps on, it's a big deal when it comes to how good this album sounds. of course woods can rap on anything but it provided this huge cinematic apocalyptic effect.

Wassup, y'all. It's Lil Roy. The one and only. You know what it is.
So listen: this OT has been without an active OP for quite some time. We need to change that. For many reasons, large and active OTs work best when there's an active OP to oversee them, and Hip-Hop Era is no exception.
I've been in contact with somebody, behind the scenes, to take on that role. However, there is a question I thought best to put to the community itself:
In the event that someone accepts the role of "OP" would you all prefer to keep this thread (OT2) going, with all 614 goddamn pages? Or would you all be ready to roll over to an |OT3|?

Similar to what I mentioned with Pusha T, billy woods reached a certain plateau years ago and is basically "just" maintaining with each project. At some point you run out of ways to praise him since, as you said, all we'd be doing is quoting whole verses... the same thing we've been doing for the last 5 projects anyway tbh 🔥🔥🔥. The difference between him and Push is that woods' stream of consciousness imagery often leads to absurdly great turns of phrase and wickedly incisive commentary on the state of things, a mixture that affords him a much longer leash with me to simply do what he does over new music. And with Preservation reaching into that Dr. Yen Lo cinematic grime, I am wholly content with what's ultimately another billy woods album.
I'm currently making a playlist to get a friend into the genre is there any essentials I should put in the playlist?
i don't have anything to add here, i think this sums up my thoughts also, thanks

if drake wasn't featured on dis bih, i wasn't gonna listen tbh
....KANYE?!?
EDIT: nothing against folks that like long albums but god damn, i'm glad it's not a double album and just a normal album length, i fucks wit it
EDIT 2: i'm seeing another rumor saying two separate albums...

i guess drake is on another one
nah but seriously why did they do that
After High Off Life and Pluto x Baby Pluto, I've got high expectations, but I don't want to be disappointed. I feel like we're in a Future renaissance.
I still listen to songs off of Pluto x Baby Pluto several days a week, it's got evergreen bangers.
Crushed ice, Cartier frames, or Chrome Hearts
N***as ain't solid as they claim, so I play it smart
I'm changin' weather, I'm thinkin' better, I'm peepin' the energy
I left my heart in the streets, so ain't no sympathy
If you ain't with me, you against me, you the enemy
Playin' my cards, sittin' in the stars, this the life I lead

I'm easy either way, I think there was some confusion way back when as to whether we were supposed to keep this OT going or make new ones every 200 pages or whatever, which is why we're still in this bih

Future just doesn't miss. This album goes dummy hard.
Could be recency bias, but this album has to be up there with my fav of his of all time, DS2.

Same sample as Big Boi/Killer Mike/Jeezy's Kill Jill, noticed it on the spot.
Future's new album does go hard, enjoying it a lot. Where are ShawnCee's impressions though lol
Deluxe as expected. Excited to Baby, Babyface Ray, and Dugg. Future and Gunna have the top albums of the year so far, but there's a lot to come in the summer. I expect Lil Baby, Thug has announced work is coming, 21 will probably drop, and another blockbuster from The Canadian.
What would have been Clipse debut album 'Exclusive Audio Footage' is now on Apple Music and probably elsewhere. It's been a long ass time since I've listened to this, but I remember it having a handful of solid tracks. Entirely produced by the Neptunes as well. Doesn't stack up to their later work, but it's an interesting relic of 90s hip-hop. Somehow The Funeral is not included, even though it was one of the standout tracks.
I'm not a Future fan. I find his music repetitive and ignorant throughout his albums. I'm still pissed that he ruined the Kendrick Lamar/J Rock track on the Black Panther soundtrack. But, damn! I Never Liked You is hard as helol!!! He even got current Kanye to sound like a human being.
Quick shout out to Future again, he released the Deluxe version of the album on Monday which added 6 new tracks, and they all slap.
So far with the Spring releases, they have all been fire. So far I'd rank:

I really geared up for this new Future to be a let down but it's pretty good. I think just over half of it is okay-to-good songs, which will ultimately be forgettable in the long run, but then the bangers.. oh my the bangers. And within those you have every element of a balanced, nutritional Hendrix diet: the raw and thumping Thugger collab (FOR A NUT), the driving music with a bit of a bounce (PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ), the hyper-aggressive joints that don't overstay their welcome (GOLD STACKS), the hypnotic earworms (MASSAGING ME), the bangers on quirky and otherworldly beats (WE JUS WANNA GET HIGH), the lamenting symphonies (THE WAY THINGS GOIN), and the lay up for Drake (I'M ON ONE). That's basically a 7-track greatest hits covering every Future style on this, and it's hard to get upset about that even if the rest of the project is just decent. And then the Deluxe adds even more heat with LIKE ME, STAYED DOWN, and JUST THE BEGINNING. It's not gonna change the world but man is it solid.
