I just listened to all of Cowboy Carter. I would not call it a country album, not even close. Just because a few songs have stomps doesn't make it country. I'm not even a big country fan.

Yeah I agree, I found myself a bit disappointed she didn't lean in more. Having Dolly and Willie Nelson in skit roles in favour of features from Post Malone and Miley felt pretty tokenistic. 

So I managed to bang off a few more albums while at work, having taken the time to see what's come out this year. I saw Aaron Lewis has released a new album (The Hill), which is awesome, as his last record (Frayed at Both Ends), was one of my most played for 2022, while not quite as good, I still dug it. Outside of that, I was also bumping ¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign - Vultures 1), and Kevin Gates (The Ceremony) as well, with the latter being the better of the two IMO.

2024 Albums Played

SPOILER: Click to show

¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign) - Vultures 1
Aaron Lewis - The Hill
Beyonce - Cowboy Carter
Chris Young - Young Love & Saturday Nights
Gabby Barrett - Chapter & Verse
Green Day - Saviors
High Valley - Small Town Somethin'
Jennifer Lopez - This Is Me... Now
Josh Ross - Complicated
Kevin Gates - The Ceremony
Scotty McCreery - Red Letter Blueprint

I went and saw High Valley in concert, back in February with the Wife. It's the second time we've seen them in concert, and again they put on a great show. Speaking of concerts, the Wife picked up tickets for us to see Avril Lavigne/Simple Plan, for later this year in September, so uh there is that as well.

With all that said, does anyone have any suggestions, as far as 2024 album releases go?

Edit: The big album going into April, is, of course, Taylor Swift's newest project (The Tortured Poets Department), however, I'm also pumped for Damascus by Elvie Shane.

I'll definitely check them out.

J Cole responded with his own diss track. I love it.

It dropped today.

Cole took a huge L on this let's be honest. He takes a shot at Kendrick not releasing often enough even though they have the same amount of albums over the same time period? :lol: And calling TPAB boring when it's one of the most acclaimed albums of the last decade or two just sounds foolish.

Crocodile Tearz is a good track though.

My favorote track on Joyner's latest album.

The apology/backtrack is pretty wild though. The rap world turning on J Cole now.

Is there something I missed with this beef?

J Cole was complimenting Kendrick (& Drake) with the big 3 line

Kendrick comes back with a diss over it?

J Cole released a diss track and then backflips on it, but I can see why considering he didn’t diss Kendrick in the first place?

Drake is on FIRE with these diss tracks.

Now he dropped a second diss using AI to have Tupac and Snoop voices on it dissing Kendrick.

J Cole made a diss track on Kendrick but then deleted it. However the internet lives forever.

That’s what I was referring to

Also in the music world, Taylor dissed Kim K. Chris Brown drops a brutal, brutal, BRUTAL diss on Quavo.

The music industry is hot right now. I love it.

Somewhat different track by Imminence but it has it's moments. I have gotten used to the breakdowns with them that this song doesn't have them where they're usually at. 

Sooner or later an album has to come from these guys....maybe. Wishful thinking?

New album of theirs "The Black" coming out April 12th, that's what I am talking about:

This song is really good, very pleasant clean vocals with screams/heavies that compliment everything and the violin of course is the moneymaker from these guys: 



Great feeling about this album altogether. 

To no surprise, the new Imminence album absolutely slaps. Then again, I listened to almost half of the damn soundtrack already with these videos :laughy:. This is the type of stuff I was hoping Architects would do after the outstanding "Holy Hell" album. Not sure if the "new" songs of the album touch what was shown previous off this album but the latter are simply tremendous so it's tough to expect that high of a ceiling to be met. 




That intense middle to end of the drums is too good. 

Only heard a few songs so far off this new album that sneakily came out last month, so far it's good. Always a pleasant listen, hope the rest of the album is good. Maybe listen to it tonight while waiting for the NFL Draft stuff(Prob not lol).

Let the bodies hit the floor! 

“BOP BOP BOP!

Last one!

Head shot for the year,
Have you walking around like Daft Punk”


My goodness. BARS.

My god he killed that. His delivery is unmatched and 3 beat switches are insane. So many good one liners too. That line about sexyy redd killed me. Lol.

I heard that Kendrick committed verbal murder on Drake tonight.

Yep, revealed Drake has a daughter also.

Battles over. 

Drake literally set Kendrick up with all that false material (daughter, his “dads stolen luggage) and Kendrick had to change the cover art after being tricked. 

The fact that Drake sent in a mole to trick Kendrick and make Kendrick drop lyrics about it is end game in my opinion. 

Diabolical mind games. Game over. Drake wins. 

If Drake actually sent Kendrick false info, he would’ve said so right away. Also, he’d have proof that he set Kendrick up like with videos or photos. It would be such an easy thing to prove and gloat over. He’s full of shit.

The reason Kendrick can’t use the cover on streaming sites is because it’s contains Drake’s personal belongings and information.

Everyone online is clowning Drake right now for being a pedo and trashing his latest diss. It almost has more dislikes than likes on YT. Not sure how he won.

At the end of the day, nobody has provided proof of anything they are claiming. Though the videos and posts of Drake being weird with minors are out there and he does have someone on his team with a human trafficking charge.

Public perception will ultimately win out and Kendrick is currently winning that battle. His songs are doing better numbers and Drake is getting dunked online for the pedophile accusations.

Best part of this whole thing is Metro Boomin dropping a diss beat and it going viral on Tik Tok and Twitter with people rapping to the beat.

UT @admin are you able to make the Drake/Kendrick beef it’s own thread?

Heart Part 6 was horrendous, acting as if that hasn’t been several famous people caught doing stuff with minors. Also not understanding that Kendrick wasn’t molested (his mother just wouldn’t believe him) but if he was, what a fucked thing to diss someone over.

Kendrick won by the distance between the Sun and Pluto, BBL Drizzy is just the end credits.
