Rolling R&B 2016

Both r&b and hip hop but the new Tink is amazing

That "sorry I've been gone but I've been going through some challenges highly specific to a mid-tier major label recording artist" Lloyd song is actually getting airtime on my local rap station. I did not expect that.

i rly love that song now

It works way better on the radio than I'd have thought, but the old-man Ginuwine vibes still throw me off. Feels like Lloyd aged about 20 years since his last single.

Playlist is updated.

The Ty Dolla Sign tape is tight.

the songs that sound like the last album are good, the songs that sound like modern rap radio are bad

actually i suspect a good bit of it might be leftover from the free tc sessions, some of the credits/sounds seem pretty similar i.e. tish hyman also wrote this record's "horses in the stable" rip off

I like the songs that sound like modern rap radio. They've got bounce and feel luxurious, partly due to the production, partly to Ty's songwriting and partly due to the harmonizing.

This H.E.R. album is pretty cool

Also the Tink album everyone is ignoring bc they already decided what they think about her

maybe it's the anonymity as coordinated marketing strategy gambit or the drake remix but the h.e.r. record came off as too cynical for me

wait there's a tink album?!?

tape if you prefer. winter's diary 4. it's not on streaming

this All the Right Places alb by YMTK is perfect. pretty much all I've listened to in my car over the last month or so. some parts ty$, some parts k major with some bayarea production leanings.

Loving the Kadhja Bonet album "The Visitor"...it's like trip-hop if it was good

another vote for the kadhja; seems weird to me that "this love" isn't on the album proper?

anyways, the playlist is updated through October. 130+ songs, about nine hours of music.

Another insolent r&b nobody (2017 rolling thread title?) but I like this song by interscope industry plant 6lack:

http://www.billboard.com/charts/r-and-b-albums

So Joe had an earlier album called "My name is Joe" and his new final album is called #MYNAMEISJOETHOMAS...

Number #1 on the chart

also Joe Thomas, New Man (2008)

if i were an industry horticulturalist '6LACK' would definitely be on a list of names on a scrunched up ball of paper in my office wastebasket

take away that and the perfectly hilarious youtube image and i agree it's a p decent song. not v swaggy at all

i liked his most recent single, which capped off an hourlong joe block on bet soul a few months ago

Yeah clack is w/out a doubt a terrible name

out next week...

Tru is Lloyd's first project after a five year hiatus spent focusing on family, obtaining his high school diploma, and learning to play guitar.

i, uh, moved, i guess?

So Nicole Wray (now Lady Wray) is back with a new album. Heard this hot track this morning:

playlist updated

forks i'm not one of these people who cares all that much about whether you mine rolling threads for playlists but it is fairly annoying when you bump multiple rolling threads just to say that the playlist is updated. people who follow the playlists can monitor the playlists!

don't worry too much about it; I'll be stopping in the upcoming year.

:(

could you do a thread that's just "bump this when the rolling spotify playlists are updated" and just once a month by like "here is the link for X, here is the link for Y" etc and that way the people who get something from using them can still enjoy them without frustrating those who don't?

i have a plan that will undoubtedly still find a way to rile killljoys but should serve the same purpose.

but if someone else would take the wheel (or build a script, though good luck with that), i would DEARLY love to pass this off either to a committee or an individual. ILXmail me if you're feeling froggy.

killljoys

damn even the dictionary doesnt have enough Ls for forks to take

can't spell "random pedantic" without rtc

I like this Keke Palmer EP a lot.

cheesy

i mean that in a certain way relative to this moment in time

in retrospect we were fools to think we could enjoy fifth harmony without raising sean garrett from the crypt

yeah i'm kinda feeling that keke palmer too

gallant getting stiffed scandalously this awards season i see
