I'm usually fine with the correspondent as long as it's not Bayer's Kid News segment, or some variation of "dress up Kate McKinnon and have her use a thick accent for four minutes."

Mountain Dew or Crab Juice.

The b-sides and rarites bootleg that's been floating around for years is as good as any of their albums. "Lick the Pavement" and "Nobody Can Win" FTW.

Version 2.0 is in my top 10 albums of all time. NYKoP felt stale to me, but I loved their three Record Store Day releases. I'm looking forward to Strange Little Birds.

If you kept "Ultralight Beam", "Famous", "Waves", "Real Friends". "No More Parties in LA" and "30 Hours", and just got rid of the rest of the songs on TLOP, Kanye'd have himself a pretty solid EP.

Also get rid of "Make Me Proud" and replace "We'll Be Fine" with "Free Spirit".

Yeah, he did great on that SNL gig. He's definitely skilled enough acting-wise where he could pull a Will Smith and transition to acting full time, if (and when) people stop consuming his music at any real rate.

Forest Hills Drive was quality, yet ultimately forgettable to me. Friday Night Lights, though, is fantastic from top to bottom, and would be in the same conversation as Good Kid, m.a.a.d City if it had gotten a commercial release.

I genuinely believe that Take Care would have been widely considered Drake's 'classic' album if "Dreams Money Can Buy" and "Club Paradise" had been included. Those are two of the best songs in his entire catalogue, both from the Take Care sessions, and they didn't make the final cut.

Enemy of the State is still my favorite post-The Cool offering from Lupe, but T&Y is a close second. Everything else? Ehh…

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap it
Foot up, my foot up
"Hold up now my foot up
I'm spinnin' my foot up
Foot up yeah my foot up
I'm spinnin' my foot up
Put my foot down yeah my hands up
My hands up, my hands up
(Flexin')
Flexin' while my hands up
My hands up, my hands up
I stand up with my hands up
Then I put up, my hands up
I put up,…

Beyonce: "You've never been to Compton, you're never gonna go to Compton, you're gonna be here the rest of your life, you're stupid, you don't have any money, and you're never gonna score."
Michelle: "Oh, yeah."

That's good!

One would have to assume that the cast, just given the list of players, takes up the majority of that budget.

Louis said during his Stern interview that he'll supposedly have it all paid back by the summer.

So even Beyonce is abandoning Tidal, huh?

I'm glad to see the show starting to find a groove that works for it. The problem with Vinyl from the beginning — and I know I'm just echoing others' comments on prior episode threads with this — is that Vinyl didn't give the audience time (or reason, mind you) to care about Richie as a protagonist and American…

The “Mostly Rock ‘N Roll” section feels a little light this week, which leads me to believe I missed more songs than usual. Please feel free to fill in the gaps!
