Music I've been listening to - week 1

Recently, I've been to a ton of different hip-hop songs. On tuesday Juicy J and Big Sean each released new highly anticipated albums. Big Sean released "Hall Of Fame" and Juicy J released "Stay Trippy."

Big Sean's album kind of disappointed me. He released several singles leading up to the release of the album and they were all really good. But after I downloaded and listened to the entire album, I realized that those were best songs on the album. I think his first album was way better than the one he just dropped. He put out a song named "Control" that featured Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica, and I thought that song was amazing. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkZZo0XSm5s On this track I thought that Kendrick Lamar had one of the best rap verses of ALL TIME. The sad part was that this song wasn't even put on the album. I think that the album might grow on me in time as many other songs and albums have, but right now I'm a little disappointed the album.

Juicy J has a much different style that Big Sean. I saw him in concert when he came to Austin and it was CRAZY. He's a guy that makes club hits and bangers instead of focusing on lyrics. I didn't really know what to expect from him, because he has some songs that are just horrible and some that I actually like listening to if I'm just driving somewhere or in my room doing homework. His album was actually a lot better then I thought it would be. Now it wasn't as good as Big Sean because Juicy J is incapable of making music better than Big Sean, but I still liked it. It had a track with Justin Timberlake and it had a slow song and I thought that it was really good for Juicy. I think it's amazing that he's still going hard at 38 years old and hope he keeps making hits.

I really can't wait for 2 Chainz and Drake's new albums dropping in september. I think Drake will have one of the best albums of the entire year for any genre of music, just after listening to all of the singles he's produced.
