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.

FAQ:

Q: Why is Gunna #2? I remember reading he beat the Weeknd?

A: Gunna won the more coveted Billboard 200 #1. When people say that an album went #1, they're referring to the Billboard 200. The Billboard 200 doesn't release actual sales numbers for most releases like HDD does. HDD and Billboard 200 are both industry standards. HDD gave Gunna 2k more sales and the Weeknd 6k more sales, so the Weeknd ended up outselling Gunna for HDD's chart. We aren't going to switch to using the Billboard 200 just for the two top results. HDD is better for comparing across weeks because they give more sales information.

Q: Source?

A: http://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming

Q: How is this list sorted?

A: It's sorted by the total first-week sales

Q: What are pure sales?

A: Pure sales are purchases of the album (iTunes, Amazon, physicals, etc)

Q: What are track equivalent sales?

A: Track equivalent sales (or TEA/Track Equivalent Albums) is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs

Q: Where is X album?

A: Only albums that make the top 50 in sales+streaming for their debut week are counted

Q: Why do some albums show exact sales numbers while others do not?

A: The albums that do not show exact numbers are the ones that have had sales corrections from Billboard

Q: Where can I find last year's list?

A: 2021 list, 2020 list, 2019 list, 2018 list, 2017 list, 2016 list

Jack Harlow’s Come Home The Kids Miss You Is Low On Energy And Originality - Album Review

Posted: 06 May 2022 09:21 PM PDT

Jack Harlow the media personality and Jack Harlow the musician are two completely different entities. When the cameras are rolling, the laidback coolness Harlow has made his only notable musical trait blossoms into an irreverent character that is responsible for coining a number of the decades fads. So far, that's been enough to keep the name Jack Harlow in your head - something his music is yet to do. Despite this, First Class was the first song Harlow released where I felt he wasn't making music for music's sake. The hit has a sub-three-minute runtime and uses nostalgia via a sample as its salient selling point, making it an ideal specimen in the TikTok climate.

Harlow certainly isn't the first major artist to tailor his music to recent consumer trends, but he's among the most careless with the way he goes about it. Come Home The Kids Miss You, Harlow's sophomore album, is low on energy and originality. When he isn't copying Drake (who appears on the album), Harlow is ripping himself off in order to repeat the ludicrous levels of success he's garnered.

If you don't have the resilience to sit through a 45-minute Jack Harlow album, everything there is to know about the Louisville rapper can be gleaned from the two singles Nail Tech and First Class. The former credits eight different people as producers but ends up jacking its swinging brass melody from a song Harlow has already been involved with. Without Lil Nas X to hold his hand, however, Harlow is unremarkable in the INDUSTRY BABY sequel. And on First Class, he names luxuries that are so commonly brought up that Harlow makes being rich sound like a chore. It is a sour reminder of how he has departed from his light-hearted roots.

Just three years ago, with Confetti, Harlow's goal was to put his hometown on the map. That mixtape had purpose, it tried to pay homage to the streets and artists Harlow knew best. Come Home The Kids Miss You, on the other hand, is indistinct. Throughout, the production is breezy, guided by midi loops and plain percussion patterns. It's the sort of repetitive, greyscale slapdash you'd expect to hear on an anonymous SoundCloud user's self-produced album. Worst of all, any substitute could rap over these beats with the same half-hearted demeanor Harlow affects.

Dua Lipa is the album's most frustrating song. Not because it sounds bad, but because Harlow shows supreme technical ability only when the possibility of creating a few headlines and hashtags emerges. On the chorus, light on his feet like a dancer, he goes, "Dua Lipa, I'm tryna do more with her than do a feature", vehemently. He coasts for the rest of the song. Other superstars show up, Justin Timberlake, who hasn't released solo music since 2018, sounds out of place isolated on the chorus on Parent Trap and Lil Wayne mumbles his way through his verse on Poison. Neither of these active participants gets energy out of Harlow in the same way his fantasy does.

The public name-drop is a move straight out of Drake's rule book. The two have been pictured together as of late and it's clear during their time shared, that more has rubbed onto Harlow than just the Canadian womanizers' sleaze. Not only does he enlist Drake for Churchill Downs, but he also mimics the melancholy from his Take Care era. The most interesting revelation to come from the five minutes they share is the chronicling of Drake's ongoing feud with Pusha T. Side Piece is dressed up with all the conventions of a Drake song, too; a beat-switch, a vengeful partner, trouble with personal psychosis, but the "grown-up shit" (his words) just doesn't suit Harlow.

His best songs have always perched somewhere between fun and fine. The song closest to recreating the exuberance of WHATS POPPIN is the Pharrell-assisted Movie Star. Harlow's singing voice, somehow meeker than the one he raps with, is smothered by the bleeps and bloops of the bouncy beat, but when the listening experience is genuinely fun, who cares? His connections serve him well on closer State Fair, too, where Harlow's shallow recreation of his birthplace is sheathed by a soothing flute melody that wouldn't sound out of place on Flower Boy. But these are anomalies on an album that is otherwise strictly curated to make sure his music remains uniform to keep his trajectory that way.

Hip-hop can be unforgiving with how fast it moves. Before a big-name artist can capitalize on a trend it's likely already nearing staleness. The pursuit of the next Jack Harlow never ceases. What's keeping this current iteration of Harlow at the top, though, is sheer persistence. He's been all over everything since Thats What They All Say, which is precisely why Come Home The Kids Miss You is so ineffective. Harlow's album about being rich comes too soon after his last one. On behalf of all of the kids, we didn't miss this.

Come Home The Kids Miss You - Jack Harlow - 3/10

[Discussion] Wiki & NAH - Telephonebooth (1 Year Later)

Posted: 07 May 2022 10:47 AM PDT

Bandcamp

Spotify

It's been a year since NYC's Wiki teamed up with Philly's NAH to give us Telephonebooth, a 22 minute collection of lean mean storytelling lyrics on beats that sound like they were made by installing Ableton on an MPC 2000 and making it BSOD.

Personally I like it a lot. Wiki's rapping isn't as out there as on other albums but his flow is on point, not to mention his slick writing on tracks like Yonkers, Truth Be Told, Hip Hop, Friendship. NAH's beats are very cool, most of them centre on samples cut up in a "choppy" way. And they all sound crunchy and distorted which sounds really great paired with Wiki's voice. If you liked the way Wik sounded on Sporting Life beats you might like this too.

What do you think of it?
