Totally forgot about 2001 tho, the first half until next episode is dre's best work ever i think

There' a couple of good tunes on the second half, but yeah, it's all about the first half - which is still enough to make it one of my favs. What's The Difference 4 life.

Radiohead for me is so ingrained within my bloodstream that I hardly listen to their stuff anymore. I'm at a place where if asked who my favorite band is, I will always say Radiohead, but that is entirely based on the past and them being very important in my formative years as a music fan. Loyalty as a music fan, especially nowadays with access to such an endless variety of incredible music, is pretty overrated. The best lists to me are all about the now and constantly change over time.

You are a slave to no one, temporary obsessions till I die.

Didn't know you liked Dizzee Rascal so much, Wanta.

I was working on one, manually added Winehouse. I'm sure I'm the only one of a few dozen thousand who did

words to live by

I think he's gone underappreciated this century and hasn't made a bad album yet. But Boy in Da Corner is just such a clear vision of an artist and his music with so much control on every inch of it. The beats are oddly attracting and repulsive but act as a reflective agent to represent dizzee's spitting, so everything feels entirely his vision executed to perfection. My experience listening to it is so different from other rap albums (let alone albums) and affects me on conflicting levels of emotion. I feel something, rather intensely, but I could never pin down what I am feeling when I listen to it.

I had a friend who always thought he had good ideas for movies and wished that he could take whatever he had in his mind and project it directly onto the screen, in its most tr00est form. And that's what I think of Boy, it's an artistic vision expressed in its most purest and realized form.

you should listen to more grime jake, i think there's a lot of stuff in there that you will like a lot

Macabre Unit - 6 Feet Below Sound 2: Buried Alive
DJ Magic - No Hats fNo Hoods Editions 1
Slew Dem - Grimetapes.com: Vol. One

Damn Andrew, Los Angeles over Cosmogramma, that is an OG choice. Well done. And of course I like seeing Voodoo so high

Is Los Angeles not commonly considered to be better?
