Not denying the mans talent. He’s had some jams. It’s just clearly not the best AOtY and while I know the Grammys aren’t the end all be all, it’s disappointing to see people get something g so wrong. It’s like them insisting 2+2=5. Or liking Donald Trump. 

Same can be said for Kendrick, the man has talent and some serious beats.  He was top of almost all lists out there for 2017, but there is a HUGE portion of the people that just want to listen to some music without reminding them of all the issues in the world they are trying to escape from.  This is the Grammy population.  I fall in the middle.  Halfway through DAMN, I say to myself "well thats enough of that" and I say the same thing through Brunos album.  Time and place for everything and Bruno just falls in line with the Grammys.  It's not a coincidence ratings are way down.

Music and politics go back years and years, Soca, blues, folk, country, hardcore/punk, hell even good ol RnR...

I guess that's what "pop music" was created for?

I don't believe sampling is gone. If that were the case, Kanye wouldn't have a career.

The difference is that Kanye pays for them wheras Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys did not.

Is that why he's broke and they aren't?

My sentiments exactly. Anyone find a vinyl yet? I just called my local store and they cant find any info on an LP.

Immediately loving:

”Pray For Me”
”Seasons”
”Paramedic!”

Tim Simmons

They haven’t announced it yet. Every other album of his followed a few months after release. Damn was the quickest at 3 months. 

Thoughts_Arrive

Where can I listen to the new music?

Tim Simmons

Any streaming service. 

Tim Simmons

Let’s fucking go people. Weekend plans right here.

May 30th

Listened to half tonight walking the dog. Really enjoyed what I played. 

Will play it a few times this weekend

Awesome album by Kendrick again. Any info on when CDs or vinyl will be available?

Tim Simmons

No. By a few accounts, it was just finished a day or 2 before it dropped. Universal didn’t even know about it until he said I need this out now. 

Tim Simmons

I bet CDs are out by x-mad and vinyl by (on?) RSD

Tim Simmons

PO up
