People that are complaining about this being tagged as jazz, blame Sputnik honestly. Jazz rap/ jazz hip hop is a legitimate sub genre. And since sputnik has no such tag, the jazz tag will have to do.
the fact that sput only has one "hip-hop" tag available is pretty atrocious. almost as reprehensible as the time we only had one "electronica" tag.

Only songs I would rate less than an 8/10 are You Ain't Gotta Lie and Momma, maybe For Sale too.

The closest thing to another hip hop tag we got is trip-hop. That should not be the case.

I honestly find the a cappella and the end of i to be beautiful. "Realest Negus Alive" indeed.

@Ritvik While it's not as powerful as the album version, I find that the single version is just a fun track that just gave me a feel-good mood with the same message as the album.

Been keeping track of the ratings to see the effect of pitchfork and fantano drones. This album's rating was dropping very slowly from the time of its initial release, however it jumped up within hours of fantano's review and went up to 4.46, stuck there for a while and now is at 4.5.



On rateyourmusic the albums rating was also dropping slowly and got to 4.06 at a lowest. Again almost right after the fantano review the album's rating started rising again to 4.10 and now after the pitchfork review went up quickly to 4.13

It is now officially above Biggy's Ready To Die and DJ Shadow. It's 4th place on the Sput charts for hip hop. What have we done?

"Conscious Hip Hop, West Coast Hip Hop, Jazz Rap
Political Hip Hop,

These are the tags on rateyourmusic, sputnik needs more tags for hip hop, too many sub-genres to all lump into one category

I really don't like the term 'conscious hip hop' although most of the hip hop I listen to is considered conscious hip hop.

i don't get why people have such issue with that term

but then again i dig the tags 'idm' and 'art pop/rock/punk' just fine

Yeah, I kind of hate the term art pop for the same reason.



I feel like when you label something 'concious hip hop' or 'art pop', you're insulting hip hop and pop that don't fall under those categories. Like all the other hip hop isn't socially aware and all other pop isn't art. Idk. Maybe that's nitpicking, but I feel like that's people's thought process on some level.
