Hence the finale that doubles as a living will for his kids. He still means business though, specifically family business. With no use for bangers, his rhymes are conversational and the beats are cool and fluid. That cash is put to better use on songs that sample Stevie Wonder, Hannah Williams and features a Frank Ocean cameo. “You wanna know what’s more important than throwin’ away money at a strip club? Credit.” True, but Jay will have to use more practical anecdotes than investing $1 million in real estate and fine art as examples of every-man accomplishments. So don’t miss his true aim of preaching economic self-reliance to a black clientele perpetually victimized by crony capitalism. So don’t think of this as a response record because there is nothing to respond to. But Beyoncé already documented that on Lemonade. up at night is a wounded marriage caused by a reckless ego. But striving for greatness ain’t one of his 99 problems. Sean Carter’s most personal album isn’t his best. Key Tracks: “Boomshakalaka” / “Good Cop Bad Cop” / “Fortune” Which is why it’s so important to remember to laugh. “It’s an everyday conflict / Losing your sanity,” they declare. “I count my money to my babies while I rock them to sleep.” They like to laugh as much as they like to keep it real, which is why things get serious on “Good Cop Bad Cop,” in which the son of a black officer is murdered by a trigger-happy white cop. I’m fond of “Boomshakalaka” and Starlito’s play on Pistol Pete and Peja Stojakovic to brag about his. But, unlike the Will Ferrell comedy, the jokes stick. Like the Will Ferrell comedy of the same name, these guys are addicted to the one-liner. Both are dead funny, dead serious and practitioners of the mantra that doubles as this mixtape’s label - Grind Hard. Don Trip is what Lil Wayne would have sounded like if he ever finished puberty. Starlito is the gruff one with a slow, exaggerated drawl. Should Music City’s unsuspecting rap scene ever cough up another act to the national stage, please let it be this pair of intelligent hustlers who are intelligent precisely because they hustle. Starlito & Don Trip – Step Brothers Three (Grind Hard LLC) They’re not the only ones by any means, though: here’s a quick list of LPs that could have made the cut but didn’t, often due to a lack of concrete information about them.Professors of blackonomics impart their knowledge Instead, here are 20 albums that a) we think will actually be released this year, b) should add something to the conversation rather than merely the glut, and c) we’re actually looking forward to hearing – even if in one album’s case, it’s because it will almost certainly be a six foot seven car crash (that’s you, Waka). As for Broke With Expensive Taste, even with Angel Haze deciding to release Dirty Gold on just about the worst possible date, she’ll probably still win that battle. You don’t need us to tell you that there’ll probably be a new Rihanna album the same way there’s been a Rihanna album every year bar one since 2005, we can safely presume that Four Tet, Main Attrakionz and Starlito will release minimum eighteen full-length projects between them, and the various Top Dawg projects on the boil (Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, possibly Kendrick) have been speculated over so much that we’d rather leave them until they drop. Nobody outside the rap blog feedback loop really cares about a new Maybach Music Group compilation, the same way that nobody cares about what Trinidad James thinks of New York or knows who Maino actually is. It’s 2014, and if we wanted to, we could easily wheel out a list of 100 albums due to come out this year that are, in theory, anticipated.īut let’s cut through the bullshit a little.
