It's gonna be embarrassing when Talib Kweli reveals in an interview that he tried to join in on ILX but kept getting mocked and rejected.

"i debuted at #19 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, which is a really unusually high debut for that format

hmm from what i saw it was being added to even more rhythmic stations than HH ones ...
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 3 October 2014 05:32 (nine years ago) link
don't see it anywhere on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart yet. don't really have any stations in that format that i know of in my area, whereas i listen to 3 rap/R&B stations and i've heard "i" on all of them in the past week.

seems to be getting a little bit of play at pop stations too

Eh, I'm not seeing the whole voice change point. This track seems more like an extension of something from Section 80.
I've also liked this one:

the discussion upthread was not about his voice on "I" being a change from earlier material, just that he generally does rap in several voices that differ from each other and his speaking voice.
― some dude, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 13:07 (nine years ago) link
damn i care for this track even less now it cuts off that nice sa-ra style intro in the video
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:03 (nine years ago) link
or is that some other track of his i havent heard
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:05 (nine years ago) link
idk if i love this song but i think its very interesting and am curious if it will be a huge hit
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:28 (nine years ago) link
i like his new look too
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:35 (nine years ago) link
I kinda flopped, didn't it?
― longneck, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:41 (nine years ago) link
it stalled on the rap airplay charts last week after a high debut and a few weeks of rising. might be losing momentum but I wouldn't count it out yet.
― some dude, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link
i'm pretty into this, i think it works -- the video helps imo

they used it for the opening night bumper music for the nba on tnt
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 15:03 (nine years ago) link
unsurprisingly it is doing better at rhythmic radio (#7 right now, might rise some more). somewhat more surprisingly it's his first song to chart at pop radio (#31 right now). but yes in general its momentum seems to be faltering.
i like it better than i did before but i still have mixed feelings on it. and radio around here seems to cut out the parts i like best toward the end :\

his new music is weird as hell not sure what to make out of it
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 17 December 2014 19:54 (nine years ago) link
it's a bit backpackery, musically speaking, but the rhymes/his delivery are still 💯, and he's clearly doing whatever the fuck he wants, which is ultimately better imo than him doing section.80 pt 2 or GKMC pt 2

it totally seems of a piece with his past work, if not as 'good kid 2' as people were probably expecting

I just have to get this out of my head, but I keep imagining a Christmas viral parody video of "I" but it's Santa rapping at his workshop about how much his elves help him and have his back "I love my elfs"

the close-out breakdown on "i" is so ridiculously funky
it's from something else, isn't it? it reminds me of some classic break that i can't quite place

Surprised to hear something so straightforward after the more serpentine last couple of tracks. (Apparently the still-untitled Colbert song will probably not be on it, which seems a shame?) Sounds like a solid album track.
