    I tried Kendrick Lamar again last night.  I can't get into it.  All American hip hop sounds the same anymore.  Sounds like the shit you'd hear when you roll up on the trap house.

    ^ Its the intro with Kanye........I do not like 90% of the american hip hop and rap that is out there. But I could not stop listening to Chance the Rapper's Coloring Book.  That is a brilliant record.

    Modern hip hop is wayyyyyy different from the 90's heyday.  You can't sample a damn song without getting sued or having to pay for it now.  It was neat to hear a Cypress Hill use an Sabbath song in their music or hear PE use a James Brown beat.  Hell, all of hip hop is based on a drum beat that was made famous by the JB drummer Clyde Stubblefield.

    So for newer rap/hip hop I applaud them for actually having to write their own beats now.

    KOD album out by J. Cole is really good. 

    Some of the gospel parts get old, but it all works well. First hip-hop/rap album I have actually enjoyed all the way through in a while.

    Mr Glover has a bunch of talent.  It'll be interesting to see if he shys away from acting to focus more on his music or maybe continue to do both?

    He'll do both. I think hes got a great balance going on now.
