2013...most important year ever in music? world history?

[FRIED MASON]

First Justin Timberlake dropped the biggest RnB/Dance record since Off The Wall in the 20/20 Experience...very important album according to all reviews I've seen.

Then Daft Punk made its return and dropped the most important disco/robotic funk album since their last disco/robotic funk album. Very important sounds on that album according to the reviews I've seen.

Now Kanye saves hip hop by releasing what is hands down the most important anti-hip hop hip hop album ever recorded. Very important themes and concepts on this album according to the reviews. Many people are still trying to digest/make sense of/enjoy all of the importance.

Then finally, last night The King of Important Hip Hop Made His Return

King Hov Copy shutting down the earth with the most important game changing blueprint defining album release of the decade. Samsung+Rick Rubin+ Black Excellence = GOAT IMPORTANT ALBUM RELEASE

All that important music in less than 4 months. And Beyonce and Drake still haven't dropped their soon to be classics. Don't know how much more of this we can handle brehs...

Shut the fukk up fakkit :baby:

The only thing that has changed is popular artists (Jay, Kanye, JT) not really following the traditional format. JT came out with a video announcing that he was "ready", then his single dropped. Then came a lyric video about a month later revealing a March release date. Then another single. Then the album dropped.

Kanye announces over Twitter a June 18th album release. No singles, just information slowly leaking out. It doesn't have the traditional album sleeve either.

Jay Z announces an album and release date during the NBA Finals with accompanying footage of producers and music.

^^^ This could potentially set the stage for a new era of marketing and promoting music. No pushbacks, no real single, just announcements followed by the album.
