Originally I had written out this big ol’ OP but now we have a Drake/Future collab tape. So fuck all that. DIAMONDS DIAMONDS DIAMONDS DIAMONDS ON ME DANCIN
Rap music! It’s good. I like it lots. This has been an unusually great year for new rap music.

Imagine a new Dr. Dre song is here, because that shit aint on youtube.
Imagine something from the new Drake and Future tape is here, because that shit aint on youtube.
We even got a new Dr. Dre album, and it’s actually good! Crazy, I know. Of course, the stuff posted above barely even scratches the surface of all the great music we’ve gotten this year, and maybe some more stuff we might see before the year closes out. Frank Ocean and Kanye West are still rumored to have albums coming soon, Game has an undoubtedly featurepalooza due soon, okay you get the idea. I’m surely forgetting something and I’m writing this at 1am. FBGOVO
Also noteworthy are the THOUSANDS of fantastic rap beefs this year. Drake ended Meek Mill’s career as a screaming rapper and Ghostface sonned Action Bronson in the most Ghost way possible. Also Young Thug and Birdman may have paid a guy to try and shoot Lil Wayne, slightly less hilarious imho.
