I heard hip-hop in that OP. What do people think of XXXTENTACION? I'm aware that he's essentially become a meme after "Look At Me" and the fact that he worked with Ski Mask The Slump God, but he's got some good shit. If you don't mind the...interesting artistic choice of putting a KKK speech at the end of it, "Riot" is fucking amazing. "Vice City" is fantastic. "Save Me" and "#IMSIPPINTEAINYOHOOD" are really angry, pretty short, but that's kinda my jam. Not for everyone, though. 

Also, is it me, or has rap gotten pretty damn depressing lately? I mean, there's always been some sad-shit, but now you've got Suicideboys (however that's stylized) and shit. Then there's that new Uzi Vert song. "XO Tour Life" which is hella depressing, but I love it. Is that just a change in taste? Has this been going on for a while? I only recently started listening to new shit after years of pretentiously clinging to my Wu-Tang albums and claiming there's no such thing as good, new, rap. 

In terms of something not hip-hop, anyone heard the new NOFX album? [i]First Ditch Effort[/i]. It's a pretty wild departure from the norm for them. Less silly and "man isn't punk rock great?" and more introspective and somber. "Six Years on Dope" was immediately one of my favorite songs ever, and that's all about them regretting the whole "super coked out, all the time" thing that NOFX had going, as far as I can tell. "I Don't Like Me Anymore" is a glorious anthem for people who find themselves becoming dickish as they get older. "I'm So Sorry Tony" is one of the best tribute songs ever, and easily the best Tony Sly tribute out there. It's so personal, but I feel it so hard. It's weird to hear Fat Mike not angry or excited in his songs, but damn if he doesn't pull it off. Guess an old dog can learn new tricks.
