What have you been listening to recently?
Sour Soul dropped today. Yesterday I checked out Young Bleed's My Ballz and My Word and gave Drake's tape another listen. Aside from that, heavy psych/stoner/space rock.

Favorite decade?
The 90s were stacked. I don't play favorites though. Currently listening to mostly contemporary.

Favorite region?
Regionalism isn't my thing. My taste is global. Currently listening to varied regions.

Most interesting beefs for you?
Drake's shot at Tyga was amusing. Forever curious as to why El-P and Aesop aren't friends anymore.

Upcoming releases you're excited for?
Lucas Dix of Jellyfish Brigade is doing a tape over trip-hop beats that should be cool. Major releases like Kendrick and Kanye obviously. Freddie Gibbs is working with some Drake affiliates for production but I don't know when that's coming out.

Things you don't understand?
Why anybody cares about Big Sean.

Unpopular Opinion(s)?
Kevin Gates > Young Thug

Top 3 Rappers?
Nas
Aesop Rock

What have you been listening to recently?
Been listening to a lot of this Drake album/mixtape even though I've steered away from Drake for quite a bit. Other than that it's been here and there rap music. Just discovered Theophilus London's Vibes. Got a Cudi feel to it.
Favorite decade?
Early 2000s. It's what I grew up on. All that music from then just gives me nostalgia. Probably a bit of bias here.
Favorite region?
Ehhh, I just listen to whatever. I don't pick between regions.
Most interesting beefs for you?
Beefs just tend to go over my head a lot. I was really into the beefs in drill music though. Those entertained me.
Upcoming releases you're excited for
The Powers That B, MOTM 3, Kendrick's new album, Kanye's new album, Frank Ocean's album if it ever drops, Metro Thuggin, Special Effects

What have you been listening to recently?
Been listening to Drake and Big Sean's new projects a lot recently. But basically have spent 2015 listening to the new albums of this year like B4.DA.$$ and Tetsuo & Youth.

Favorite decade?
I don't really have a favorite decade. I like music from any time period.

Favorite region?
Not a big deal to me, but I do listen to more West than East coast rap. Also listen to a lot of southern. There's really no preference.

Most interesting beefs for you?
Although rap beefs don't interest me that much, when Kendrick called everybody out on Control and people started responding, it caught my attention.

Upcoming releases you're excited for?
Obviously, Kendrick and Kanye, but im also looking forward to new music from Flatbush Zombies and some more less known artists like Action Bronson and Vic Mensa.

Things you don't understand?
Why Sorry For The Wait 2 was considered good by some people.

Unpopular Opinion(s)?
Not sure how popular/unpopular this is, but I think if Pac and Biggie were still alive, they wouldn't be considered the GOATs that they are today.

Feb 19, 2015

lol. what is this supposed to establish about you? of course we all listen to music from lots of regions. acting like where rap originates from isn't important is so myopic.

 

Feb 19, 2015

If you pressed me, I've probably heard more from New York than anywhere else. It was a very prolific area in the 90s. That said, I wouldn't say I seek out music from a specific region. I don't have a particular one that I would call my "favorite". Not going to act like I do. There are people who know a lot about and listen to a very narrow period or region. I'm not acting superior to them. I'd say the majority of people are what I described.

What have you been listening to recently?
Recently, I've been listening to:
Elzhi - he's one of my favourite rappers and one of the best lyricists to pick up the mic.
The Foreign Exchange - Authenticity is one of my favourite modern albums.
BADBADNOTGOOD x Ghostface Killah - I listened to Sour Soul for the first time last night and I have no doubt it will stay on repeat for a while.

Favorite decade?
My musical taste is pretty diverse, so if we're talking over all genres, I'm going to have to say the 70s - purely for how great of a run Tamla Motown had during that decade.
Just Hip Hop, I'll have to be generic and say the 90s.

Favorite region?
Being from the UK, regions don't mean s--- to me.

Most interesting beefs for you?
The ones that don't end in death. Peace and love y'all.

Upcoming releases you're excited for
