  • Thanks for unlocking this thread. It seemed like we were actually starting to get somewhere... First of all, big :eyeroll: to the idea that new music has to be "important" today to be relevant. What does that have to do with jams that connect…
  • Money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go From the concrete who knew that a flower would grow Lookin' down from the top and its crowded below My fifteen minutes started an hour ago Truth over fame, yo…

  • Jonny_Paycheck said:Drew you're my man but I *don't* think he's honest. He doesn't talk about his past really at all. Maybe he does on this record? He definitely does on the album, in addition to other interviews that have been popping …
  • Listening to "Thank Me Later" is like reading the journal of a 23 year old who has always wanted to meet his idols and can't believe that he actually got into their VIP party. Each track is a different page with guests to support the theme of the en…
  • Very cool, congratulations!
  • How about some of these: Curren$y Wiz Khalifa Ke$ha B.o.B. Nefew Tanya Morgan (collective or separately)
  • Still on board and looking forward to the album. From there, who knows.
  • Great thread.
  • Nice work on the keys! Props.

  • House Shoes is that dude and for what's it's worth, here's his public statement on the CH/Dilla situation. On its face this is about young buck in the industry with a child-like mentality, so if there's no harm done it should eventually be let go fr…
  • Diddy To Shelf His Auto Tune Album? This Death of Auto Tune movement Jay started is really starting to pick up some steam and ruffle a lot of feathers. It has been the constant chatter of the biz these past few days and it is making some people ver…
  • Mod's should get bumped if they've posted less then 50 times in the past six months. Number of posts by a mod doesn't matter nearly as much as having the time to hang around and monitor the board.
  • I've said this before, but I'm all for making BATMON a moderator. I haven't been as active in the last few months as I'd like to be on here and I don't necessarily see that picking back up anytime soon, aside from simply checking in every now and t…
  • I still have not been thoroughly convinced enough to listen to any of this. Drew's recommendation ALMOST canceled out hemold's fanboyism but then Ross came in with his review so I don't know... The fact that I'm in here making a case for something…
  • Haha, my man. Further widening the chasm with an epic level of abstract, unjustified thought. You know I appreciate you. Here's a question: does anybody who liked 808s and Heartbreak NOT like So Far Gone?(And why not?) Just curious. I will soon l…
  • This thread is cracc to me. I'm fascinated by not being able to reconcile my views on "So Far Gone" with the majority of those who have spoken so far. There isn't even a middle ground. Any and all opinions of those who have heard the record are enc…
  • James, thanks for your take on this. I feel you on the idea of having a lot of guests and jumping in on their styles, that's a keen observation. What does he do in a studio by himself without a collaborator? It remains to be seen. I'm not sure if I…
  • Don't get ahead of yourself, though. To me, Drake reps the first wave of young folks making music influenced by the Kanyes and Jays of the world. It sure as hell took them long enough to grow into or create their own respectively unique styles from …
  • What I love about R&B in 2009:
  • Fair enough. From what I hear on there, I think Drake's making good new music and has a triple threat of sing/rhyme/writing skills with the potential to help move pop/rap/r&b in a different direction. There are many styles on that tape and he …
  • Stop playing and give it a listen. Uninformed hateration is dead.
  • Word is Bun B just took the stage w/ Drake @ SOB's. How wrong is ya' boy?
  • Ross, forget the radio, avoid the hype, and give "So Far Gone" an isolated listen. Of all the garbage out there right now Drake is one of the last people I'd write off coming up. I just hope he avoids being ran thru so quickly by the industry like m…
  • Philadelphia Record Exchange is a wasteland. Dead vinyls have been rotting in the bins for years. Overheard the shopkeep lamenting on the phone about how the owner had to basically liquidate his collection just to keep the doors open last time I w…

  • ...but truth be told the actual song isn't THAT bad. Has it really come to this?
  • Yeah, thanks for this review. I was about to press my luck on making a trip out for the Philly show tonight. Basically involving a long SEPTA ride and a hit-or-miss cab situation to get back home. But, I think I'll pass.
