Kyza completely kills this one (2nd verse)

[Verse 2: Kyza]
When I start rhymin' bare breddahs a start hidin
My dark writing strikes many like charge lightnin'
Sharp slicin' knives cut and then stick right in
It's not a wise thing to start no arms fighting
I might fling hundreds of blows and start wilin'
Like right-wing Nazi marchers who start violence
My mind thinks the same way that Einstein's did
My IQ is higher than London car crime is
I slide in inside of the thighs of a nice white slim
Light skinned girl from behind and plot my tings
I dive in, piping her slightly ripe tight minge
I like when she tips on my cock! and starts ridin'
I fry fins of these sharks who like biting
Surprising them with more hundred and five types man
Their eyes widenin with the frightened child likeness
Some high-pitched siren screams when I'm sighted
I buy drinks for some Friday night high-jinks
And try link some yatties by givin' em sly winks {*whistling*}
Kindness lines my golden heart shining
A high cars mileage just to pass time with
I cry gems, shit rubies and fart diamonds
My style is rarer than priceless art findings
I'm swiping iced rings and wetting up dry men
With my pen, what my friend - Alright then

Evidence comes with a complete banger everytime. I don't think I have heard any of his beats and not nodded.

His rap style is quite distinctive too.
 
Decent modern rap is rare... but even that exists.

There's tons of good modern rap, you just haven't been paying attention. Piñata is amazing, then again you can't go wrong with Madlib as a producer. IIRC they're both working on another collaboration project called Bandana.

As for music I've been listening to, mainly BROCKHAMPTON and some Lil Ugly Mane. They're pretty good and they're dropping a third album on the 15th. They've already dropped 2 good albums this year, would be cool if they wrapped up Saturation with a good ending to the trilogy. As for Ugly Mane he dropped a pretty depressing but good project under a different name on his bandcamp earlier this year.


I also got around to listening to DAMN. While the collectors edition is a sad cash grab, the album is great. That's 3 classics in a row. Sheeesh.
I knew it was gonna be good when I heard 9th Wonder was the producer for this track.

I think this is a new golden age for Rap, like, if you like any type of Rap, even niche ones, you can get many great albums that make your head nod. This goes for Mainstream, Mafioso, Crossover, Boom-Bap, Southern, West Coast.. Everything is served really well nowadays.

This isn't the mid to late 2000's when it was underground or none.

Facts. While there were probably some good artists that were popular in the 2000's, it was for the most part trash. Currently though there's just so much good rap right now that it's a little impossible to sweep it all under the rug.

At least Budden got a shout out on that previously posted Joyner Lucas - Bank Account track

Thoughts on Eminem's Revival?
I went into it with the lowest expectations. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would after something like MMLP2. It's too bad most of the passable songs come after the 11 track mark. I enjoyed Believe for an early on song, but Untouchable was the first Em song I've ever listened to that I ever considered beyond terrible. Lyrically this album is terrible, but I feel more highly of it than MMLP2 because at least this album made me feel things like annoyance while I was listening to it while MMLP2 made me feel bored.

The last two tracks, Castle and Arose, are hands down the best tracks Eminem has put out in fucking years. Pretty emotional tracks and I like how Castle connects with Arose and in turn Arose at the end goes back to revisit the last verse of Castle. They're kind of sad for another reason though. If he can still put out hits like those, why the fuck is the rest of his work so lackluster. Like fuck, just LISTEN to those two tracks and then listen to EVERYTHING ELSE on that album. There is no reason there should be a huge gap in quality between those two songs and the rest.

I am still listening to it, I got as far as Untouchable before switching off.. That song is a waste of a good beat.

I am planning to do a write up later. For now I am cleansing my ears with some Royce.

This track is stuck in my head from my Gomorra Marathon earlier this week, even though I understand none of it lol.
