Last year ended up being decent for rap. Another year where it totally dominated my listened. Only 2020 thing I’ve listened to so far is this Big Kahuna OG thing.
Did anyone ever listen to the Ameer Vann EP, Emanuel? It went to the bottom of my list because of who he is but I gave it a listen when clearing up my Spotify playlists and thought it was actually pretty good. Some very nice production and interesting self reflection from a man who’s put himself on the shit heap.
Not sure I’d go and see him live but can maybe imagine him carving out a solo career.
Been getting quite into the Call Out Culture podcast. Latest one on white rappers is great. They often drop some gems about Def Jux and it’s demise - get the impression it all ended quite frostily.
Can’t say that line up does much for me. Used to think Nas was magnetic live, but he seemed utterly finished when I saw him last year. Just bored and going through the motions. Can’t imagine cracked up 2020 DMX, The Lox and some kind of Gangstarr tribute are gonna be worth getting out of the house for.
