I was on a plane pretty much all day yesterday, nothing but hip-hop. It was great.
El-p - Cancer 4 Cure Extremely forward-thinking, almost futuristic sounding hip-hop. El-p's becoming one of my fave MC's. YC The Cynic - Gnk I'm not quite sure if it's a mixtape or a full-length, either way it's a great record with great conscious hip-hop. Shabazz Palaces - Black Up Experimental, jazzy, ethereal hip-hop. This is a challenging record, but it hit me hard one day. Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2 Much, MUCH more abrasive than RTJ, the details in these beats could only come from El-p. Killer Mike tears this up, but it is El-p that steals this record. Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels Still brutal, but opting for that "adventurous" sound. Treading somewhat melodic territory, and certainly not as hardcore as RTJ2. The Roots - Undun

Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 2 So I guess there's been this trend in hip hop with these really deep, heavy, brutal acts like Death Grips and RTJ here lately. It's a hell of a lot different than all the Nujabes I've been listening to lately lol but it's pretty cool overall. Definitely good but I wouldn't say great, I should listen to more albums like this though

I love Psychic Hearts but the last couple of song oriented TM records didn't really do it for me. I am looking forward to The Best Day though.
It's funny - I guess the only way we're going to come close to a new SY fix is to put Thurston, Lee and Body/Head albums on shuffle play. Maybe on the next Body/Head record, they'll ask Steve to play drums just to be consistent. I will miss SY though. They've been in my life for over 30 years! Hopefully they'll reform for a nice dissonant Senior Citizens jam at some point.

And speaking of jazz... I've listened to this countless times, but I'm reading his autobiography and hearing about how he actually made the record really got me in the mood to listen again with fresh ears. As always, it's incredible. Funky, groovy, and I really only just now appreciate how ground breaking and important it was, and still is. I'll probably be listening to much of his discography in the coming days.
