There are times I’m like your sister. I swing back and forth. But when something grabs you, its worth getting the whole album and putting some intention into your listening.

Tyler is in my backlog. I need to get around to checking them out. I agree about Kendricks music. I am an old rock head so I would usually just listen to hip hop on spotify or youtube because I always saw it as stripped down. Not layered like older rock. I put on TPAB one day at work with my dac and headphones. I kept stopping going “wait what?”
They got what they wanted from Ukraine. He doesn’t pay his bills.
