Fucking rad!

I cried the last time I saw ATCQ live (Rock the Bells Tour, 2008). It happened during "Lyrics to Go," which is more a showcase for Q-Tip than Phife, but the tears falling down my face were for all three of them (yeah, and Jarobi too, I guess). I was hit with a wave of memories, countless moments with people I hold…

I've only watched the first 3 eps of S2 so far but I've been wondering if they've made any changes to the costume because I'm oddly not offended by it the way I was when it appeared last season. I almost like it.

Different Bilal. The one referenced here is Bilal Sayeed Oliver.

That Rawiya Kameir quote for the win. I spun Good Kid, M.A.A.D City for the first time in over a year this past weekend and was completely enraptured with it, just as I was back when it first dropped. I've yet to connect with TPAB in a similar way.

I'll check out Limetown and those other individual eps you highlighted. Thanks for the recs.

Any good recs for legitimately creepy-creepy podcasts? I listened to the entire first season of The Black Tapes and while it had some unsettling moments I ultimately found the quality of the voice acting lacking to the point of distraction. I listen to Jim Harold's Campfire which is wildly uneven with chilling tales…

Ah. I see.

The scene where it's just Kendra and Savage and they're still going on with the whole "we don't know each other" ruse…why is this happening?!?!

This episode was completely nonsensical and disorienting. Seriously, does anyone truly understand what the fuck was going on?

Bucky's hair is the worst. Ugh.

It's definitely more cheerful and upbeat than their previous stuff. You'd be hard-pressed to derive such a joyous feeling from the earlier stuff though I wouldn't let that deter you from checking it out. They're far from depressing but there was a tinge of melancholy to the old tunes that doesn't come out as much in…

I agree that it's probably their most accessible album to-date. I do like it but I've spun it maybe only a handful of times whereas their past albums got much more heavy play. I can see it gaining some traction with me in the coming months though.

What do you think of that Chairlift album? I was silly for "Ch-ching" last year but I haven't been able to connect with the album as a whole. It sounds like it might sound better in a different season though, maybe this coming Spring.

Echoing other folks here…Malibu by Anderson .Paak is a joyous listen and sounds like something I can see myself listening to many years down the line. Emily's D+Evolution by Esperanza Spalding has been ruling my ears the last couple of weeks. It's very reminiscent of Joni Mitchell circa Don Juan's Reckless Daughter…

That Esperanza Spalding album is the business.

Malibu has been in super heavy rotation for me the last month or so. It's an incredible album and I hope it's indicative of a future of many more great ones from Anderson .Paak. The vocal similarity to Kendrick threw me off at first but I got over it and now he sounds more distinctly like himself than I initially…

I dig Kendrick a lot but this was not an enjoyable listen for me at all. I'm perplexed as to what motivated him to release what's basically a bunch of studio outtakes and half-baked ideas. There may be people who are clamoring for this peek behind the curtain but it's hardly essential listening, nor is it on par with…

I despised him in his early days of SNL. When comedians incessantly laugh at their own shitty jokes it makes me furious. Some of the Lonely Island shorts were slightly redeeming. Before it premiered, the ad campaign for Brooklyn Nine-Nine convinced me that it would be a terrible show and I'd hate it on sight, mostly…

Hopsin needs to check himself (dude's got issues) and you should probably check out more rap if he's the best you ever heard.
