Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2009)

Context - cleaning the dishwasher This album is the bomb.[every domain in existence].  Easily my favorite of the bunch so far. If this album does nothing else, it brought us "Monster" and more importantly Nicki Minaj's verse on "Monster".  Easily... Continue Reading →

Kanye West – 808s & Heartbreak (2008)

Context - reading news articles and stuff This is what the third album of the trilogy should have been if you forget Late Registration exists and make Graduation the middle section. He's bringing it home with the auto-tune.  He's managed to turn recognizable conventions... Continue Reading →

Kanye West – Graduation (2007)

Context - holding down the fort Today I had one email to send.  It was very important, and I'm glad I was here to do it.  But I'm also so tired I don't know why I didn't just nap instead.... Continue Reading →

Kanye West – Late Registration (2005)

Context - excavating I once again wildly mismanaged my time today, not that there was that much free time to manage.  So you get the bare bones. This album is good.  Not as good as The College Dropout.  You know "Touch... Continue Reading →

Kanye West – The College Dropout (2004)

Context - shower jamz I've decided that it's time I give Kanye West the respect I know he deserves.  I'm a fan of all of his more mainstream hits, but I've only really listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy... Continue Reading →

Earl Sweatshirt – I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt (2015)

Context - living that scramble dream I fucks with the title of this album.  The actual album is pretty good too. As a huge fan of Vince Staples, it was only a matter of time until I stumbled my way... Continue Reading →

D’Angelo – Black Messiah (2014)

Context - waiting for instructions D'Angelo does his best Otis Redding impression on this album, and it's pretty tight.  I love these revivals of more traditional genres of music, and D'Angelo's is no different.  Well, it's plenty different.  My love... Continue Reading →

Hootie and the Blowfish – Cracked Rear View (1994)

Context - hammer time Well, crunch time.  Well, busy time.  Well... what a time to be alive.  Amirite? Today I dig deep into the dark, dark world of mid-nineties mediocre alternative music.  Hootie who?  Hootie and the Blowfish, that's who.... Continue Reading →
