It's been awhile since I last posted. I recently released some music this year

Just going back over some albums that I love, but didn't do that well in the mainstream: Q-Tip's The Renaissance and Guru's Jazzmatazz Volume 1. I struggle to find a bad track on either - they were reviewed well, but it seems like that style of hip hop has appeal to a subsection, but that doesn't translate to commercial success (especially in the case of Q-Tip, as Jazzmatazz was so niche there was almost no chance of it being popular).

Favourite tracks from each...

my one complaint about the Kendrick Diss and a lot of his music (and I'm a fan) is I feel like the beats aren't there. I'm not nodding my head to that track like I am to "Hit em up".

It's not his best, but the new Kendrick is pretty great. The middle of the album feels like it was the strongest section. But, he's on the top of his game. It was very different and more high energy than Mr Morale. Less ambitious than that excellent album. Gonna let it settle with a few listens until I'll give a rating.

This is like if Chris Rock had pressed charges against Will Smith.
