YG's stock just keeps rising for me, I think I actually liked his new mixtape more than his album, and I dug that a LOT

Help me out, goons. What's the best stuff Joey Badass has ever done?

New album is great

Wendy N Becky featuring Chance is great. Mostly because of Chance.

Great as in...? I didn't know it was out.

xp, bada$$'s 1999 came out on January 1; it's got several stinkers (particularly the pro era crew cypher) but lotsa quality

I thought 1999 was his first mixtape, from a few years back?

ha, shows what i know: i was confusing 1999 with B4D4$$

i'm late to badass as i just FOUND that 1999 mixtape at the start of the year. the new one is due out in about two weeks i guess?

Yeah, I remember enjoying 1999 when it dropped but then quickly getting tired of the anachronisms.

when sounding super 90s was more of an accidental casual thing & less of an intensive result of peter rosenberg and statik selektah's misguided consultation it was a lot more bearable

and right on time, spotify just upped summer nights

Like the guy from 808 state, gzus piece just got charged w heroin trafficking :-/

ty's album is gonna be the dopest shit out

i said this on twitter but even though this song is like the anti-'next to it' it pts to one of ty's great strengths as a collaborator which is to emphasize & enhance the other artist's core essence, rather than trying to fight it or contrast with it

if anyone is interested in following or contributing to my yearly spotify lists then here you go:

Is there any kind of origin story about how YT and RHQ teamed up? How much of a factor was Birdman? (research question)

they definitely were collaborating before Rich Gang

Yeah I know that Get TF out my face is from before they became Rich Gang but I'm guessing Birdman made a business decision at some point anyway? Or did they show up at his door fully formed?

there's some sort of jobs, hope, cash joke to make about people hating on kendrick & loving azealia banks and rich gang going into 2015

couldnt find that despicable cover art thread so i just wanted to s/o my fave krautrock jazz reissue of the year somewhere

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Rick Ross, Step Sisters, Drake, DonMonique, RJ & Choice) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
