I am very very very fucking excited for...

• Wiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers
• I tend to listen to a lot of the summer music in the winter, and vice versa. I have been about Khalifa since maybe September, then I slept on him till around November. He's dope. Period. I never really jump on a trend in public, but when I'm alone in my head, I do like to rep the Taylor Gang. "Kush & Orange Juice be the components!"
• Lupe's Lasers
• Nuff said. Show goes on :) 
• Fucking buy that album. Twice. Three times if you get a raise soon.
• Dre's 'Detox'
• Note the quotation marks. I feel like I trust the tooth fairy with that $12.75 she owes me than I do with Dre releasing this thing. Felt the same way since like 2003. It's weird how Lupe got pushed back and folks flipped, but Dre has been refusing (sic) to drop this bitch for years. I get pushing it back a year. Or even two if you're low on the totem pole (see: JCole) but this is fuckin Dre. If this were dropping, it fuckin would have by now.
• That said: I can't afford kush, but I'll buy the album. With my tooth fairy dollars, obvi!
• Speaking of obvi: The summer time! :) Word to short shorts and shirt optional weather!
• J Cole
• Who dat, who dat?
• Bitch, he got that flame!
• The next line in the song I'm quoting is so stupid... "don't worry 'bout my motherfuckin name" DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT SHIT. REMEMBER J COLE!!!
• Fleet Foxes
• Last summer these dudes were the shit to me. 
• This winter these dudes are the shit to me
• This spring these dudes will be the shit to me.
• I'd say that Fleet Foxes will be like my The Beatles in a few albums. Like, if you allow for the fact that no band/artist can be expected because that's extremely unfair, and the the fact that I am admittedly not even that into The Beatles, you'll nod your head to that. These dudes are amazing and I expect only good things from these guys. Also, I recommend that you look up 'hyperbole' if you don't already know.
• Mumford and Sons
• Hell yea! 
• I have no idea when these guys will drop again, nor have I even looked. Similarly, I know that Cold War Kids have a new album out that I have zero idea about. But I love 'em both! And I will probably love both these band's new joints. I'm just not there yet in my life. Give me a moment
• Kanye
• Watch the Throne?
• Whatever he's dropping in the summer? (read: October)
• My question is, when 3/5 of your albums are in my top ten list, and one of them I listen to religiously when I'm sad, depressed or anything like that, what can you be expected to do? Dude climbed to the top, sat there, got knocked off, built a higher, sturdier platform, and is now sitting up there with Jay-Z, shitting on haters. That's what WtT is. Two rappers who really don't have to do this doing it just to remind the world that they're the best. Which they certainly are. But Ye has already promised another release. Maybe it'll be a bit like MBDTFWAFWFW: Volume 2. Maybe he secretly made Good Ass Job and is just gonna throw it out there. Who knows, either way, I'm excited as fuck!
• Florence and the Machine
• Same as Mumford and CWK. But I'm fuckin in love with her. Wikipedia tells me very unoptomistic things about her upcoming album, so I'm just gonna keep my trap shut. But if you know Florence personally for some reason, you can go ahead and tell her she's my favourite. She's not, but I want her to think she is, you see, cuz I'm playa like that.
• Big Sean
• That's my nigga! Like I listen to dude and feel like I know him and we talk shit together. 
• We fuckin dont, though, so I'll just sit around and wait till Finally Famous drops. 
• I always think of Big Sean as the Ma$e of G.O.O.D Music, which is pretty badass
• Me!
• Nah, I intend to record some stuff and I'll post it here, if only for historical value.
• Dre
• Seriously, though, release the fuckin music! I promise to pay for it!!!*
• *Sike
• Rick Ross
• I have no idea when he'll do it again, but the strength of BMF alone made me a life long fan of everybody's favou rite bawse / CO (that was a little joke, voila!)
• I went back and listened to Deeper Than Rap after spending the summer of 2010 not being a star, and I realize why I only really started to fuck with Ross over this album: he's improved. Fat boy gained weight! I see dude fucking with Diddy now, which.... meh. So long as no one is trying to make him The Notorious Rozé I am willing to accept that Ross' business is none of mine till the CDQ's come out. (CD quality tracks that leak online all the time, as opposed to annoying DJ riddled joints that also leak)
• Jay Electronica
• This is the big one for me.
• J cole and J Elec are on similar pages for me because of this: Neither has an album out, and both has massive promise. The difference is, whereas Cole stops at being a truly incredible lyricist and rapper, Elec keeps going. He's a ghetto poet and a dusty foot philosopher (that's word to another of my favourite artists). 
• "In a land before time, a land before alter boys, synagogues and shrines, man was in his prime. Look how far back I go just to start a rhyme..." See what I mean? No one raps like that. I admit that I have studied his steez a lot and respect him greatly for it. Oh, and did I mention that that song features Jay-z? And the Dream? Both being incredible... It's like a philosophical dream about god. Some rappers spaz when they get on tracks with other greats- go listen to any Kanye West feature ever- and it seems to me that J Electronica has the converse effect: I'm not trying to be clever or facetious when I say that this is one of my top Jay tracks for ages. And the complete version isn't even out yet. I could go on for ages about Jay Electronica. From his name to his raps to the way he's been putting out music like a song can be an entire album. I will soon, too, but for now I'll just tell you to go listen to Shiny Suit Theory. 

In summary, I used to want to be with the Roc. That was my dream. Now I want to with Roc Nation. I've literally had that dream. Pie also pops up in my dreams a lot. I eat a lot of pi- you do the math!

You know, I hate that word summary. It just reminds me of birds and berries and short clothes and strolling and smiling for no reason and shit. Also, summary just reminds me that summer is always too short, even when it feels too long.
