2nd Yelawolf LP very much on my wishlist. Radioactive is so much fun.

B.o.B's cd isn't bad. But that song with Nicki is atrocious.

Whoa. Why have I not heard about the new Gambino songs!!

You should ban Childish Gambino from these posts just cause he's so shitty.

And Now The Funeral Is Over And All The Tears Are Dried Up

I really tried to like Radioactive but could not, hope he brings it on this second one.

you forgot this I\'m #RunninIt behind the scenes in the studio with @speakersmusic and @traviemccoy! http://shar.es/2o0TC and this

Nothing about the new Death Grips album?

Loving Daughters. It being the worst of the three LIG is a great sign. Also, the hell?

I don't think Wiz will be able to record with Dre if he's still as strict as he's been.

he's an extremely talented rapper, just can't get into it. his voice is just too abrasive.


still haven't listened to anything that doesn't have a video. the tracklisting has kept me at bay, to be honest.


h8 u...


...but then i luv u


i'm not into it. it's noisy bullshit. always will love zach hill for his work on this though.


mainly wanted to love up on your pete and pete icon yet again!


elaborate?

Again? You did it before?
