tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago)

isn't it called Kiss The Ring?

some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:07 (twelve years ago)

i don't know if any of these songs i haven't heard can possibly be less appealing to me than "I Wish You Would," but the troika of wimpy tasteful earnest new 'stars' on "They Ready" is pretty damn unappealing

some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:09 (twelve years ago)

whoops yes it is -- i can't read

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago)

yeah, it has to be "they ready"

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:15 (twelve years ago)

altho the idea of wale, tyga, mack maine & kirko bangz over a runners beat is truly one of the most repulsive ideas of all time

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:16 (twelve years ago)

man they brought DJ Toomp back from the dead and just for an ACE HOOD OUTRO

some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago)

6. “I’m So Blessed” Ft. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Ace Hood & T-Pain, Produced by K.E./Co-Produced by DJ Khaled

i like K.E. but these three guys rapping about how "blessed" they are.... fucking hell

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:19 (twelve years ago)

hahah, having traumatic flashbacks of Schoolboy Q doing an endless, joyless version of "Blessed" at Pitchfork

Evan R, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:20 (twelve years ago)

this one will probably be even longer

Evan R, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago)

wait what

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:21 (twelve years ago)

He did a version of "Blessed" (sans Kendrick Lamar) that just went on forever. Songs about being blessed are always a slog; songs with "Blessed" in the title are even worse

Evan R, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago)

oh i didn't realize that he had a song called "blessed" -- i thought you were saying that, like, the song on this khaled album was a re-make of a schoolboy q song

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago)

“I Don’t See Em” Ft. Birdman, Ace Hood & 2 Chainz probably gets my vote. That's a lot of clumsy on one track.

Evan R, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago)

10. “Don’t Pay 4 It” Ft. Wale, Tyga, Mack Maine & Kirkgo Bangz, Produced by The Runners

Elrond Hubbard (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:40 (twelve years ago)

i infer that everyone else on this album pays 4 it

some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago)

6. “I’m So Blessed” Ft. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Ace Hood & T-Pain, Produced by K.E./Co-Produced by DJ Khaled

fire-rated aeroplane components I have melted (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 19:18 (twelve years ago)

that 'blessing' sounds more like a CURSE in disguise, amirite?

well that first one sounds pretty stupid

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 20:09 (twelve years ago)

boi 1da's hi-hats have given me suicidal thoughts

some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago)

2. J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T. & Kendrick Lamar, "They Ready" (produced by J. Cole)

These three guys are touted as some of the most exciting young talents in popular rap, and in each case that proclamation has at least some degree of truth. But putting them together is just an incredibly obvious and pandering move, a late, out-of-touch MTV segment or Rolling Stone sidebar brought to life.

Literally laughed out loud several times reading this piece. Awesome job, Jordan.

Evan R, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:16 (twelve years ago)

thanks! it was fun

tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:19 (twelve years ago)

i think people are seriously underestimating the possibility that "I'm Blessed" will consist of everyone on the track claiming to have huge cocks

Pollopolicía (some dude), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:26 (twelve years ago)

hahaha, holy shit, yeah: http://www.carltonjordan.com/2011/11/30/confidence-is-key-big-sean-says-hes-blessed-with-a-big-situation/

The Big Sean pretty much writes itself "wibildy wibildy whoa, go, look at me blow..."

Evan R, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:52 (twelve years ago)

Dude's verses are 80% catch phrases now. He's definitely the Urkel of the G.O.O.D. Music family

Evan R, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:52 (twelve years ago)

that's why their wins low!

Evan R, Tuesday, 14 August 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago)

Big Sean's comic dorkiness is his only redeeming trait.

Big Sean's comic dorkiness is his only trait period.

Pollopolicía (some dude), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago)

hate to admit this but the "They Ready" and “Bitches and Bottles" beats are both pretty crazy

is Wale dating Tyga or something? that would explain how he got the first verse on the "Rack City" remix i guess

nutrition aziz (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago)

10. My Way Ft. Common, Lloyd & Kendrick Lamar

seriously wtf is this

J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago)

6. Clouds Ft. Rick Ross, Miguel, Pusha T & Curren$y

this is so bizarre

J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago)

Quality Street Music, featuring appearances from Childish Gambino, B.o.B, Drake and Tyler The Creator

nutrition aziz (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago)

i was just thinking that Miguel singing about clouds was kind of a natural progression for soft batch Rozay songs

nutrition aziz (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:42 (twelve years ago)

true.. but if currensy is on it it kinda has to be about weed right?

J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 September 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago)

yeah i guess.

in Drama's defense "We In This Bitch" and "My Moment" are already better than anything on Kiss The Ring

nutrition aziz (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 23:04 (twelve years ago)

yeah, "my moment" is very underrated imo

J0rdan S., Sunday, 16 September 2012 23:07 (twelve years ago)

15. Monique’s Room Ft. Fred The Godson

Something about the song title, the fact that it's last, and that it's only fred the godson is really cracking me up

listen to that wu-tang whistle blowin' (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 17 September 2012 01:47 (twelve years ago)

i've seen a video for that, it's basically a remix of Drake's "Marvins Room" and it's terrible

some dude, Monday, 17 September 2012 01:49 (twelve years ago)

and that it's the closer of the album!

my beard is almost as good as dj khaled's these days

tpp, Friday, 16 November 2012 16:04 (twelve years ago)

"Alright, do what you gotta do."

"Khaled, yo, ever since your album went up an hour ago, we've been getting nonstop emails and calls"
'I told you, we the best!'
"No, you don't get it, you gave us JPG files instead of MP-"
'Do what you gotta do to keep the party goin!'
