[Vatanui AKA Pride]

good kid, m.A.A.d city got a 9.5 rating on Pitchfork. o.o

That's damn awesome.

Isn't Pitchfork like hipster central or something?

Yup. The last album they gave a perfect score to was back in 2010, and before that, 2006. o.o

Which is why it's so impressive, for Kendrick to having been given this high a score.

I don't really follow Pitchfork, but I know they can be really uptight with their ratings.

This is truth.

Anyway, I'm listening to this album called ANX by Dark Time Sunshine. I'm going to assume you don't know who they are because I didn't until like yesterday, so this is my first listen. Here's a stream of the album if you're interested. It's kind of Hip Hop, kind of not. http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/i...x-album-stream

I've also been digging Aesop Rock's Skelethon and Death Grips two 2012 albums lately. I recommend Skelethon, but I'm not sure if I can recommend Death Grips, they're a little inaccessible. Warning before going to their website: You probably won't like what you see.

[shinmarubountyhunter]

Death grips is something that I just can't get into.

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

What's on their website? o.o

[deadtaka]

The shock value lessens if I say so. Also I'm not sure if I can say it.

[Ino's Girl]

A guy's peepee

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

I think I'll just stick to my Kendrick Lamar and KiD CuDi, thanks. e.e

[deadtaka]

Term wasn't graphic enough, cover art is a metaphor for the hardness America has against all ethnic groups.

[deadtaka]

I've been getting into KiD CuDi lately, but I want to get some more Nas CDs. Other than Illmatic, which is his best?

Illmatic is and will forever by Nas' best album. Arguably followed by Stillmatic.

Life is Good was his best album in about eight years. Have you tried the Lost Tapes yet, by any chance?

[deadtaka]

I have not listened to any of those yet, because I've only listened to Illmatic. I was thinking of listening to Stillmatic or Life Is Good next.

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

I've heard from some people that It Was Written is one of his best' albums. You should probably skip Nastadamous though, unless you're a big Nas head.

How's your JAY-Z discography?

[kanisawa]

lolso, am I the only one who liked Chief Keef's Love Sosa?

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

Chief Keef is a goon. And not in the positive way either.

/idc.

I usually listen to the albums rated the best on SputnikMusic for the different artists, pretty sure Nastadamous wasn't rated too well.

Pretty sure it's nonexistent except for The Grey Album, an album by DJ Danger Mouse where he mixed The Black Album by Jay-Z and The White Album by the Beatles.
