EML Update: Music Overload


           Recently I have been on a music overload, still am in fact. My library has doubled in 2 months, in the almost 2 years I have been getting it. Getting 11 full albums, and then 10 mixtapes. I made a list of it and it came out to be a day worth of music out of the 2.2 days I have. So not only have I been really busy with school and regular life, man music has been crazy. I was just happy to have time today to make the previous post and this little update.
            The reason I got so much is really because of the albums I bought. Usually I never get that many. I got all sorts of stuff, just on the 10th I got 5 more albums. Ha usually I never do that to myself, but I don't always have an opportunity to buy music when I want it, so there I go.
The 11 Albums:

  • Nas's Street's Disciple
  • Ben Kweller's Sha Sha
  • Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
  • Common's Be
  • The GZA's Liquid Swords
  • A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders
  • Daft Punk's Discovery
  • Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star
  • A 3 Disc Set of Nat King Cole: Unforgettable
  • 2nd Disc: Hit that Jive
  • 3rd Disc: Jivin' With Jarvis
I have had a good time with Street's Disciple, 36 Chambers, Be, and Midnight Marauders. All of those I have given close listens, Be and 36 Chambers probably feeling the most complete. Street's Disciple was actually a great attempt at a double-LP as it is hard to master those as just a solo rapper. Midnight Maruaders was awesome, and I gotta give that one another go sometime. Liquid Swords has been orphaned, and I hope to adopt it again once again! As I really haven't listened to it. 
The latter 5 albums I have acquired just on Monday. Discovery is amazing, have listened to it fully multiple times, but never in one go, as I have fallen asleep. D'oh! 
Nat's stuff still gettin' into it, and Black Star is still waiting!

The 10 Mixtapes.
  • Mac Miller's The Juke Box 
  • And the High Life
  • Nas's Illmatic Demo Tape
  • Biggie's Demo Tape
  • A collection of Nas's Unreleased
  • Nas's The Lost Tapes 1.5, all remixes produced by Cookin' Soul
  • 9th Wonder's The 144 -144 Instrumentals from 9th Wonder that are simply amazing. 5.4 hours of content on that bad boy! That is what has kept me so busy.
  • Aer's Water on the Moon
  • Mac Miller's I Love Life, Thank You
  • and another Nas collection, of remixes, unreleased, and collabs. Pretty sick.
Only really listened to The Juke Box, which was honestly terrible, except for the tracks I liked were quite amazing, Big's demo tape was short but decent, 9th Wonder's stuff is absolutely amazing, and The Illmatic Demo Tape is by far amazing, it is like discovering a 2nd Illmatic. Everything else still needs some attention.
So yeah quite the music kick. 

I hope to do some finishing tracks to People's if I have time, and then go on with random tracks for awhile. Perhaps do a cover of 9th's material and give an overview. Doesn't mean I am back for a post every other day, but I hope to do at least 10 a month ha ha.
