Average April

Holy cow, another month gone by... As you can see from the title of this month's playlist, this month has actually been pretty normal. Ups and downs, ins and outs, turns and... yeah, you get the point. However, I'm really impressed with the music I've been finding lately (only because I do an ungodly amount of digging and searching). When am I not, though? I guess that makes this month even more normal...
First up, I'll talk a little on some music that I've been bumpin' all month long, and ironically, it's really not that average. It's very different than what I was expecting, actually. Even though Mac Miller's newest mixtape, Macadelic, was released a little over a month ago, I've now had enough time to form a few opinions about it. First off, I like it. Some of the songs really vibe an old school hip hop sound, which I really dig. Second, like I mentioned before, it's definitely not what I was expecting. Why? The drug use/references in this album are uncountable... I mean, yeah he's a young hip hop artist, they all rap about b!tches and rollin' on pills, right? But comparing this new album to previous works such as Blue Slide Park or Best Day Ever (I'm thinking songs like Wear My Hat, Life Ain't Easy, Love Lost), it seems he's really into the drug scene right now. Furthermore, when he's not talking about drugs, the rest of his lyrics are pretty gritty and nasty... but of course, he won't lose any support from the female percentage of his audience by rapping about all those nasty things. Girls go ape sh!t over this dude, I mean, look at that face! Still makes for good music, though, so I'm not complaining. ...Especially when it's FREE.

Next, I'll just get right down to business. Here's my full April playlist, from which I've extracted my most listened to and liked songs and turned into an 8tracks Mix, which is below this list. Check it.

Imma let you finish in a minute, but...

Dear Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose, and PETA,

Suck it.

Sincerely,
Yeezy



I guess it's true, the only person that'll ever outdo Mr. West is... Mr. West himself. This ones juicier than an issue of US Weekly, so grab it while it's hot. Kanye lashes out to musically uppercut a few people he's got beef with, including his ex girlfriend, Amber Rose, who's currently engaged to fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa. Next is his ex crush, little miss Kim Kardashian (anybody catch that threat to New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries, her ex husband?). “Lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the team"... Well played, Mr. West. And as for PETA... well, what more do I have to say. This has gotta be the best Battle Of The Ex's song I've heard in a long time. Thumbs up, for sure.


I saw this on Facebook, as posted by GMAD , and for lyrics, here they are from KillerHipHop.com. Yes this video is UNOFFICIAL.
