Posted: 30 Jun 2020 11:51 AM PDT

From Jeff Weiss:

Bad news to report: 03 Greedo has been denied parole. He won't be eligible again until next June.

A tragic & punitive decision that highlights how evil our criminal justice system is. One of the most gifted artists of his generation is losing his life over a drug charge #Free03

Spoke to Greedo yesterday before they took away his phone privileges for the next 40 days. Texas prisons are a special rung of Hell. At his facility, they're using Covid to deny inmates all liberties and human rights. Rather than clear out the jails, they're tightening control.

[DISCUSSION] Polo G - Die a Legend (One Year Later)

Posted: 30 Jun 2020 02:23 PM PDT

Die a Legend is the debut studio album by American rapper Polo G, released on June 7, 2019, by Columbia Records. It features his US top 20 single "Pop Out", as well as the remix to the track titled "Pop Out Again" featuring Lil Baby and Gunna. The songs "Finer Things", "Battle Cry" and "Deep Wounds" were also released prior to the album. The album received acclaim from music critics.

Critical reception

The album received acclaim from critics upon release. Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork rated the album 8.3/10, and gave it the "Best New Music" award. In his review, he stated that Polo "blends pop and drill with ease and delivers a standout Chicago street rap debut that is meticulously crafted and honestly told." Riley Wallace of HipHopDX said "There is a beautifully crafted blend of honesty and tragedy within [Die a Legend]." HipHopDX users gave a unanimous review of a perfect 5/5 for the album.

Commercial performance

Die a Legend debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 chart, with 38,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, becoming Polo G's first top-ten album. In its second week, the album dropped to number seven on the chart, earning 29,000 album-equivalent units. In its third week, the album dropped to number ten on the chart, earning 24,000 album-equivalent units that week. On September 16, 2019, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units in the United States.

[DISCUSSION] The Internet - Ego Death (5 Years Later)

Posted: 30 Jun 2020 07:06 AM PDT

Ego Death is the third studio album by American R&B band the Internet. It was released on June 26, 2015, through Odd Future and distributed by Columbia Records. The album was supported by the singles "Special Affair" and "Girl". Ego Death was nominated at the 2016 Grammy Awards for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Critical reception

Andy Kellman of AllMusic said, "The majority of Ego Death is tighter. Bennett has refined her songwriting without reducing the candid approach that colors her past compositions. Additionally, the tangents are fewer and more substantive." Pat Levy of Consequence of Sound said, "In addition to their more fully formed sound, one of the more exciting things about The Internet is the music's point of view." Michael J. Warren of Exclaim! said, "Ego Death frees the Internet from Odd Future connotations and R&B norms; it's their best work yet." Tshepo Mokoena of The Guardian said, "There's wit and honestly behind her observations of courting and heartbreak, making her pinhole focus on love more about nuance than navel-gazing. It's just as well the band stayed together." Ronald Grant of HipHopDX said, "Ego Death is an album both suited specifically for the social media age of music listeners but simultaneously rich and permeated with the traditions of the soul and R&B music of the past."

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times said, "There's convincing thump at work here, but not so much as to overwhelm the lustrous keyboards, the nuzzling bass, the way several of the songs unfurl like blooming roses." Sean Fennell of PopMatters said, "Ego Death and The Internet require a little bit of patience, but if you are willing to give it a full go, it will reward you with one of the most interesting albums in recent memory." Patrick Taylor of RapReviews said, "Ego Death is the perfect summer record. Breezy, smooth, lazy, and meant for warm nights." Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork said, "The Internet's songs have always felt like scenes of salaciousness happening just out of earshot. Ego Death finally pulls us into the maelstrom." Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone said, "The best tracks fade away into gravity-defying instrumental outros that make Syd's heartache feel sublimely serene."

Trivia

  1. Steve Lacy produced a Grammy nominated album before graduating high school.

Discussion Questions

  1. How does this rank in the Internet catalog?
  2. Best songs? Worst songs?

Virgil Abloh-designed cover art for Pop Smoke's debut album to be changed after backlash

"Steven Victor took to Twitter to respond to the backlash over the newly unveiled cover art for Pop Smoke's posthumous debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon.

"Making a change," Victor wrote about the album artwork. He also added that "Pop would listen to his fans."

Moments later, Victor took to IG to expand on his tweets. "as pop's label & as his friends/family, it is our obligation to bring his vision to life he wanted virgil to lead creative, we fulfilled his wishes however, unfortunately, he's not here to give his final approval his fans, are," he wrote. "you know why you love pop your voices are loud and clear he loved his fans and listened to his fans pop and us at victor victor h e a r d you l o u d and clear - changes will be made see you July 3rd 2020."

Virgil, who has yet to respond to the backlash, posted the artwork to his IG account, writing, "this album cover was one of like 5 things we talked about. he mentioned his story felt like the metaphor of a rose & thorns growing from concrete of of his hood in Canarsie, Brooklyn." The designer also said that he "just finished it yesterday." "

Kendrick Lamar - The Heart Pt IV

Posted: 29 Jun 2020 05:04 PM PDT

The Heart Pt. IV

Here's a brief history of the series:

The Heart Pt I - Released April 2010, a relative no name in the game, confident Kendrick makes a bold prediction. He says he will be as great as rap legends like 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, Eazy E and Big L without having to die early like them.

The Heart Pt II - Released September 2010, this is the only track in the series that is part of a project, the opening song of Overly Dedicated. The intro features the late artist Dash Snow and the outro features late vocalist Alori Joh, who was Ab-Souls girlfriend and heavily affiliated with TDE until her death in 2012

The Heart Pt III, featuring Ab Soul, & Jay Rock - Released October 2012, this was the first in the series that was released after gaining recognition and getting his Dre co-sign. He opens this one up with another bold line:

"When the whole world see you as Pac reincarnated"

The Heart Pt. IV- Released March 2017, five years since the previous installment, now Kendrick is officially a superstar. The seemingly crazy predictions he'd made years before have come true:

"I prophesized on my last song, you laughed at me"

[DISCUSSION] Meek Mill - Dreams Worth More Than Money (5 Years Later)

Posted: 29 Jun 2020 01:39 PM PDT

Dreams Worth More Than Money is the second studio album by American rapper Meek Mill. It was released on June 29, 2015, by Maybach Music Group and Atlantic Records. It was initially scheduled for release on September 9, 2014, however, it has been delayed few times due to Meek Mill's revoking of his probation on July 11, 2014, thus sentencing him to jail for 3 to 6 months. The album made its entry at number one on the US Billboard 200; and sold 246,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 215,000 coming from traditional album sales, marking as Meek's first number-one album on the chart. Due to the change in the tracking week by Nielsen Music SoundScan, its first week sales were counted towards its second week on the charts. At the 2016's Billboard Music Awards, the album won an award for Top Rap Album.

Background

Meek Mill said that with this album, he is focusing more on rapping than on money. He said that rappers, especially in Philadelphia, have not received credit for helping their communities going on to state during his interview with XXL stating, that "If I'm in the position to help, I'm gonna help." Meek Mill says that he has come to realize there is more to the music industry than wealth, a philosophy which resulted in the album's title, called Dreams Worth More Than Money.

Trivia

  1. This is still the best selling Meek Mill album.

  2. Quentin Miller famously contributed to Drake's verse on "R.I.C.O.", but that wasn't the only co-written part of the album. Tory Lanez wrote August Alsina's part on "My Niggas"

Discussion Questions

  • How does this album rank in Meek Mill's discography?

  • Best tracks? Worst tracks?
