Pop 2. Charli XCX. 2017 @EuroNymous

Pop 2 by American singer Charli XCX is no ordinary pop record. Here, Charli experiments with different sounds that comes off very nicely. The mixtape sounds like whatever Lady Gaga was doing on "Artpop" than anything Britney Spears released on her first two albums. The features on this tape aren't bad at all. My favorite would have to be Carly Rae Jepsen on the opener "Backseat". I love her vocal delivery over this 80s synth-pop inspired track. Another favorite of mines would be Mykki Blanco on "Femmebot", where he talks his s*** over this trap influenced beat that makes you want to bounce. Overall, this project was an enjoyable listen. My only gripe with this project would be sometimes the production can get a little too left field where it leaves me scratching my head. (Track 10) However, Pop 2 made me interested in hearing more of Charli's discography.

Favorite Tracks: Backseat, Femmebot
Least Favorite Tracks: Track 10

Mingus is King!

yeah track 10 can be bit grading for first time listener but generally its such great listen i am happy you listened to it and not someone which has heard it 100 times

Nas - Nasir

one of my all time fv jazz records

illmatic. Nas. 1994 @daquan98

Illmatic has been personally fav of mine for many years, and it is always great to give it more listens as it ages gracefully. The album shows why Nas is considered one best MC's of all time. This album paints a picture for me on living a cold winters day in Queens, NY. Without tracks like "Memory Lane (sittin' in the park)," this album would be another hip hop classics album. But listen to the production on this track, it changes the whole thing. The sly ass organ mixed with crisp as hell f***in' drums vary this album from a smooth listen to New York experience during this time.

The real magnum opus of this album is the three-song stretch of NY state of mind, life's a b**** & The world is yours. All possible, some greatest rap songs of all time.

On the NY State of mind, DJ Premier's production is flawless. This is what a boom-bap cypher would sound like on the C train. Nas unspools a two-verse-wonder where he proved that, at eighteen years old, he was the greatest rapper alive. Equal parts caustic, wise, and gangster, his performance here is masterful. Bottom line: this is one of the best rap songs ever made

Life is b**** generally has one best guest verses of all time and debatably out rap prime Nas which is no small feat. The trumpet solo at the ending of the song is excellent also.

The world is yours is the world is yours there is no word to explain how much I love this song, generally its perfect song for me.

I can keep rambling on how great this tape is, but I think anyone who has heard this knows its greatness, a true shining light in the genre, and influenced a generation. I have couple issues with it, but they're so minor that it doesn't detract from the listening experience

10/10

Fav Tracks - The world is yours, life is b****, Ny state of mind, Memory lane (sittin in the park), Represent

Worst Tracks - Halftime if have to choose (for that one line)

which line on Halftime? @EuroNymous

Versatile, my style switches like a
But not bisexual, I'm an intellectual

i guess in the era was made in it was acceptable but even then nas doesnt even rap the line anymore when he performs halftime, very petty of me to complain through

i cant even say the word i was talking about because ktt blanks it every time i type it in

i hope person which gets my album doesnt mind a long listen

Last day to submit and review your (favourite 10-track) album

yea haha that line didn't age well

7/10

real solid follow up to DAL, polo don't miss

also sticky this thread again wtf

fr now that the chat thread is gone sticky this. who tf unstickied it anyways smh

Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight (British Folk Rock, 1974) by @RVI

Such a calm and relaxing album. From the first song I knew I’d enjoy it. Any other Richard Thompson album you recommend?
Fav songs: When I get to the border, The Calvary Cross and Down where the drunkards roll.
