half the point of this thread is to remember the songs i listen to on YouTube throughout the year

two of the best mixtapes of the past few months that i haven't gotten intimate enough with to know them track by track

Chicago's Chance the Rapper who has now decided he is also a reggae artist

https://youtu.be/FTDJmROdC0k

the album from the surprisingly interesting and likable Mac Miller

https://youtu.be/Ehi0qfxs3Us

both links are the full mixtape/album

the original song is cool but TDE goes too hard. the masters of the posse cut.

Dom is the silliest rapper ever but when you combine beats this smooth and shimmering with lyrics like "Lakers versus the Pistons, this shirt cost me a ticket, my girl purse is ridiculous, parmesan on my chicken" and you have a winner

Billboard has been trying some interesting things to make the charts more relevant and quickly connect people to actually buying the music they like.

i just discovered this new "Play Entire Chart" feature they have on all their charts now that will automatically populate a Spotify playlist with the latest chart hits. you can get the whole Hot 100 as a Spotify playlist, or the Hot Rap/R&B tracks, Hot Country, whatever you feel like.

a few months old but everything about this summer nights jam is gorgeous

what was awesome in the spring is now the ignorant rap song of the summer



if you need a crash course on why everyone around you is saying "versace" all the time

White people, smh.

Was riding the L listening to a Radiohead live bootleg when I saw some graffiti on a building on Wells that read

VERSACE.
VERSACE.
VERSACE.
VERSACE.

and I nodded my head knowingly.

VERSACE BABY RATTLE

So I guess if we're gonna have this thread this song should be in it:



Verse 2 is the one you're supposed to care about.

haven't heard it on purpose

i just assumed that all the hype over that verse was the result of a "slow news day" and refuse to believe that it was actually a watershed moment

Mostly agree, but even then, heard about this damn verse from everywhere from internet to local radio in a three hour span, can't say that for many songs not affiliated with a member of the Neptunes in 2013.

i've mostly been surprised by the breadth of sites i've seen this verse covered on. i think that says more about the various media outlets you (and I, really) follow and less about Kendrick Lamar. why do outlets that don't typically cover hip hop feel that Kendrick is appropriate to their audiences? it seems like he has passed the test as "smart" and "lyrical" enough for the white critical mainstream, so now his "diss verses" get covered on Huffington Post/NPR/Yahoo News.  

^i can't think of anything actually smart to say about it so that's what came out.

To be fair, at least a few of the places I heard about it were traditional hip-hop venues. Which is not to say that Jezebel isn't where I usually learn pop culture things.

But I think it goes to something Mitchell was saying when MAAD City came out, where it compares more to say Archandroid than Flockaveli. Why that's the case, I dunno, but it's been a thing since he's been around that he's someone white critics can get down with.

Is every "Danny Brown" song this annoying?

he raps like that on every song, yeah. every beat isn't some abrasive industrial thing though.

if you don't like that high pitched flow you can't really get into Danny.

can we talk about this

i don't know if we can talk about that because i don't know what the fuck that is

thanks for the link though Undo, i'll pass this around to a few people and do some research
