    Hip Hop was the best thing about 2020. Check out the Legends returning to save us from ourselves.

      That KRS track gets better and better as the song goes on. Frontline was catchy as hell, though.

        Also I don’t say so often enough, but I really appreciate your music posts.

          Same. Even if I don't always post, I almost always go through and listen to the links.

            I just got an old ear. I don't *too much* follow many 'new' artists, though I'm finding a lot of guys who've been in the game for 15 years I never heard of.
            Really my 'new' outreaches are that juicy funk comin' out of Seattle (The True Loves Band and Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio), and Vulfpeck.

            Oh and I started tasting Death Grips. moe6 warned me I should a long time ago.

              Oh and yeah, the videos are pretty much my current favorites, with a preference towards an actual video vs a visualization or just audio.
              Everyone deserves Poison Goin' On.

              Hmmm... Seattle, you say?? I might try to catch a live show after Covid settles down. Would be cool if you could join, assuming the state of the world/life/theuniverse/everything allows.

        Hip Hop was my dad, as my biological couldn't be less interested.

      Whatchu think of the busta rhymes album? The e40/too short album was a letdown. I liked Illogic’s latest release - Autopilot.

      I have a feeling 2021 is gonna be a dope year. Could we get some new kendrick?? I think Blueprint is gonna drop 2 albums this year too. If Frank Ocean releases something new I’ll be in heaven.

        I heard two Busta tracks and he's trying to recapture that exact same lightning in a bottle, but that expired in like 2004-2006 maybe. You saw Missy made a little stab but it was someone trying to sound just like Timbaland. 2000s Timbaland. (Bubba Sparxx still his best production).

        I'll have to break down and listen to a whole Kendrick joint. I've heard the singles posted around and ... I mean He Aight. Production doesn't really enthuse me.

        Hard Head from Hard Knocks said he was dropping an album late 2020 but I didn't see it.

      I’ve loved everything that Ransom and Nicholas Craven put out this year.
