I've seen her in a tiny club and headlining an amphitheater and she was great both times: strong, clear rapping while also incorporating ridiculously twerk-heavy choreo. Cardi B is in a similar situation, she has yet to headline her own tour despite having a bunch of hits - I don't know if that's a strategic choice from the artists or if bookers are just undervaluing female rappers.
Nicki's feature is the quintessential hashtag rap verse to me (and I've heard a lot of that flow lately). lots of great/terrible lines, closing with "double D up hos, Dolly Parton" is so funny. and the way Drake pitches his voice up at the end of his "Under Ground Kings" verses is still so cool and unexpected.
Prince’s B-sides disc is nuts: She’s Always in my Hair, 17 Days, Erotic City, Shockadelica, Feel U Up, Irresistable Bitch, How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore. Some of the best work from his peak.
Wow what a cover. I saw Ohmme play a small club in the Northwest suburbs this weekend and they demolished. Some late night employee would be wise to secure the bragging rights of being the first to book them on TV, but in the meantime do not miss them on tour.
I had a similar moment this week listening to Aaliyah while shopping my dispensary - as she sang “before this love affair began” I spotted a strain called Love Affair and it was an automatic purchase after that.
This looks cool SA I’ll check it out. (I don’t hate you!) Post the others, I love this kinda thing - one of the chapters in my Prince book was What if Purple Rain Was A Double Album? And here’s a good alternate album by someone imagining that Prince never got WB to play ball and let him make a movie: https://princesongs.org/2020/08/14/the-dawn-how-princes-troubled-followup-to-1999-almost-became-his-feature-film-debut/
YBB probably has some info on the ethnoreligious makeup of New Zealanders and their likelihood to sleep late that he can alley oop off of this. Nailed it, good work today Jackie boy.
hm havent heard the song but gotta fine-tune the right take here if I wanna end up top 10 this week. let’s go with “more like Snooze Ring.” full of disdain, but casual, barely even a pun. yes, that’s perfect.
Happy Friday fhe 13th, I come bearing excellent Chicago postpunk: Content That Makes You Feel Good by Stuck.

happy Bandcamp day y’all. I released a new song today, remaking my friend’s bedroom folk song as a funk dance track. Hope you like it if you get a chance to hear it. Stay safe! https://wirecrow.bandcamp.com/album/recurrence-badgalriedy-remix
