Albums Billy Woods & Kenny Segal – Maps (Discussion Thread)

[Zero]

Blue Smoke my favorite loop so far this year

So much tape hiss, FBI agents narrow they eyes
Frustrated, asking to be reassigned
"Been on this n-word for months, I think it's all just rhymes."
I'm still peaking, and if it's just us speaking, these n-words is on the decline

 

[Zero]

Year Zero

 

[Piff Perkins]

Soft Landing whew.

Billy Woods raps like he’s a black spiritual medium for all the shytty, pretentious white rappers of the early 2000s.

you can add all these new "rappers" in addition.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Really like the album. Production is very diverse, def sounds different from Hidden Places.

Nobody can convince me that billy and Boldy James aren't the best out right now.

 

[IronFist]

woods’ mind state creating Maps (52:12).

How Maps differs from Hiding Places (57:53).

Working with Kenny Segal (1:00:18).

Breakdown of the ending to Maps, and how fatherhood has impacted woods’ music (1:18:12).

Which ones you speakin of, breh? The entire Backwoodz movement is hilariously fraudulent and contrived to me. Dripping with CAC juice (hard pause).

there's some CACery on backwoodz, but i dont mind willie green, elucid and akai solo.

i was making a general statement of current rappers that get gassed on here that are trash.

i need to sit with this album tho, i wish Billy got more press.
