If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: "I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye production" (you can get more specific but usually enough). And then someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z.

You can also leave a top level comment recommending an artist/project/scene that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z.

Example: "You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats"

Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question.

The more descriptive you guys are with your posts, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating an artist's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

[DISCUSSION] Vic Mensa - V TAPE (One Year Later)

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 09:24 AM PDT

After nearly a year away from music, Vic Mensa returned with a new project titled V TAPE. The project features guest appearances from BJ the Chicago Kid, Peter Cottontale, Eryn Allen Kane, and Snoh Aalegra and production from SC, Smoko Ono, Amir Johnson and more. Mensa also dropped the video for "Machiavelli," the EP's first single.

The Post Review:

Vic Mensa has released his first solo project in about a year and a half with the release of V TAPE.

The Chicago native artist took to Instagram following the release of the project, saying, "The past 18 months have been humbling to say the least. I've had to learn to love myself again. I had to move back to Chicago. Most importantly, I had to realize that every human deserves empathy and recognition of their humanity."

This project is a story of Mensa's search for his raison d'ĂȘtre, as this project focuses on his recent struggles with self-love, depression, existence and more. V TAPE is an open book, and Mensa's vulnerability shines through consistently.

...

Following the gritty "DIRT ON MY NAME," Mensa proceeds to let his guard down. "2HONEST feat. SAINt JHN" is a beautiful, passionate track that features some of Mensa's most sensitive lyrics yet. While audibly choking up, he says, "I find a notebook in my parents' crib from when I was 5 / I went inside, and said "I hate myself; I wanna die;" I cried / I couldn't even fathom a child feeling so lonely / So next time a n---- tell you 'bout Vic, say they don't know me / I need to be loved; I need to be loved / I needed the drugs 'cause I couldn't do it / I couldn't do it; I was goin' through it."

The revealing lyrics on this track in tandem with SAINt JHN's stunning vocals on the chorus make this one of the most heartbreaking yet moving tracks in Mensa's discography.

"REBIRTH feat. BJ The Chicago Kid and Peter CottonTale" is not seen as an outro but more of an introduction to the new Vic Mensa, as he attempts to mature and develop into the man he wishes to become.

There is no doubt that Mensa's struggles with mental health became concerning to himself and others, but V TAPE shows Mensa's commitment to personal growth. He says it best at the end of the last verse of the album, "Now I got my personal all tangled on my mic cord / Could either break you or make you appreciate life more / It only differs in perspective; you witness my crucifixion / Welcome to my resurrection."

QUESTIONS:
- Do you think this is a return to form for Vic?
- Where do you rank this in his discography?
- Favorite and least favorite songs?
- Favorite and least favorite features?
- Do you think Vic will ever be able to fulfill his potential or is it too late?
- Overall thoughts?

Tracklist:

  1. VENDETTA
  2. MACHIAVELLI (feat. Eryn Allen Kane)
  3. DIRT ON MY NAME
  4. XGAMES (feat. Snoh Aalegra)
  5. BETHLEHEM/SC FREESTYLE
  6. 2HONEST (feat. SAINt JHN)
  7. REBIRTH (feat. BJ the Chicago Kid & Peter CottonTale)

[SHOTS FIRED] Kanye texting shots at Drake on Instagram.

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 12:48 PM PDT

Instagram Post

Imgur Mirror

Kanye added Pusha T to the group chat before sending the following text:

I live for this

I've been fucked with by nerd ass jock n*as like you my whole life

You will never recover

I promise you

This all comes after Drake's feature on Trippie Redd's Betrayal, on which Drake raps:

All these fools I'm beefin' that I barely know

Forty-five, forty-four (Burned out), let it go

Ye ain't changin' shit for me, it's set in stone

Update: Ye deleted the post.
