It's been a minute since I've done one of these, so I figured what a better way to bring it back than to reminisce over my favorite songs this year! I always look forward to seeing my Spotify Wrapped. It's cute, simple, well laid-out. It's such a nice way to end the year, and it's … Continue reading My Favorites of All Time #21: My 2020 Spotify Wrapped
Like most things, I don't have a very strong chronological memory of how I was introduced to Anderson .Paak's Malibu (2016), but I do remember "Come Down" being one of the songs that introduced me to him. My mom had this friend that helped me out a lot when I was getting ready to go … Continue reading My Favorite’s of All Time #20: Anderson .Paak’s ‘Malibu’
Mm. I really could sing Donald Glover's praises all day. I would actively choose to sit outside on some random highway with one of those arrow signs that people flip that says "Donald Glover is the Best" for fun. Allow me to evoke myself from a past story: "Donald just has an amazing mind; he … Continue reading My Favorite’s of All Time #19: Childish Gambino’s ‘Because the Internet’
I feel like MF DOOM is one of those rappers that if you listen to rap at some point you end up listening to his music. He is the quintessential "your rapper's favorite rapper." It's kind of hard to go through your journey of listening to rap or hip-hop and not run into pieces of … Continue reading My Favorite’s of All Time #18: MF DOOM’s ‘MM…FOOD’
I have listened to this project so many times in the past couple of weeks. I signed up for Vinyl Me Please recently, off the strength of them releasing a VMP edition of Fly or Die in a peppermint cloud pattern. And finally received the project a couple of weeks ago. It was almost too … Continue reading My Favorite’s of All Time #17: N.E.R.D.’s ‘Fly or Die’
Tetsuo & Youth (2015) has remained one of my favorite albums of all time since it came out. I remember feeling slightly aggravated with Lupe after Food & Liquor II (2012) came out, and I was hoping that his next project would be something that I enjoyed a little bit better. Food & Liquor II … Continue reading Week Fulla Lupe – My Favorite’s of All Time #16: Lupe Fiasco’s ‘Tetsuo & Youth’
I think I've mentioned a couple of times on here that I was supposed to go see Lupe Fiasco a couple months ago during his food and liquor tour. But because of verona that opportunity. For me. I'm still sad about it to this day. American Terrorist was one of those songs that I was … Continue reading Week Fulla Lupe – My Favorite’s of All Time #15: “American Terrorist” by Lupe Fiasco
I debated VERY heavily with myself on whether I wanted to do an Album Look Back for Bucket List Project (2016) or if I wanted to do a MFOAT. I haven't listened to it in full in a while, but it really is one of the most amazing albums I've ever heard. Everything - from … Continue reading My Favorite’s of All Time #14: 3 Songs from ‘Bucket List Project’
UMMMMM. So I don't know WHAT happened yesterday. I had every intention to write this, but for some reason I was watching All Def's videos instead LOL. And then there was a bunch of excitement later on (cable company came to set up the internet because we've been living recklessly, I made dinner) that I … Continue reading Week Fulla Dreamville – My Favorite’s of All Time #13: J.Cole’s ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive’
I'm sad to say that I haven't listened to Revenge of the Dreamers II (2015) in a REALLY LONG TIME, and I'm really trash for that lol. But I kept it on repeat for days after the first time I heard it. It's a perfectly balanced project, and I think it shows off not only … Continue reading Week Fulla Dreamville – My Favorite’s of All Time #13: 3 Songs from ‘Revenge of the Dreamers II”
