    d---, it's pretty cool that you can make a living out of that. Where do you get jobs from? Different websites and stuff, writing reviews?

    True, there's so much stuff available out there these days, it's hard to pick what to listen to.

    As you said, Netflix. There are so many d--- series now that I find myself spending more time debating what to watch than actually watching something lol.

    I'm not complaining because there's never been more choice but it seems like it has shortened my attention span and I find it hard to pick a movie or series and commit to it.

    Yes I have listened to Earthgang - Mirrorland. Not sure if it was you or someone else who suggested it but I discovered them from this thread.

    https://forum.sectioneighty.com/loo...ist-recommendations-no-mumble-rappers.t235944

    I didn't love the entire album but there were a solid 3-4 songs that I really, really liked and added to my library. Will definitely continue to check them out in the future.

    The best discovery I had with that thread was Freddie Gibbs. I had seen him before on some features but had never listened to his stuff or any of his albums for that matter.

    I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to adding albums to my library so if I don't like at least 1/3 of the album i'll pick out songs individually and delete the rest. But there was just so much s--- I loved from Freddie Gibbs albums/mixtapes. I kept 4 of his albums. 2 of them being mixtapes. And there's still some I haven't heard yet.

    Btw, out of curiosity. What type of work do you do as a freelancer?

    you'll love 'em. Also, if you're not on the Mach-Hommy train yet I highly recommend checking out the 2 albums he did with Muggs this year: Tuez-Les Tous and k--- 'Em All.

    As far as albums are concerned, I wasn’t too satisfied with that many releases.

    Ventura was very good, might get my AOTY
    WWCD is tied with Ventura atm for me
    TM104 was faithful to the Thug Motivation style
    Hollywood’s Bleeding was also good
    E-40’s Practice Makes Paper was good but I’m from the Bay and grew up with that hyphy s--- so I’m biased
    The Lost Boy and Born 2 Rap are very similar. There’s great material but half of it is not for me
    That Dreamville album was a major disappointment as a whole project, the music is the exact opposite problem of Born 2 Rap
    Port Of Miami 2 also disappointed

    Can I consider the Carter V OG leak as an album from this year? That s--- still gets plays @Big Cuntry
