I drive to my local hood and blast the music. If I get shot at, robbed, ran off the road, or removed from my vehicle at any point the album is trash. According this 2014 was a so so year for hip hop

(1) I have to hear at least 2 songs/snippets from it that I like...if so,
(2) I buy it
(3) I put it in and listen to the opening/the beat first. If the beat/opening makes an impression,
I keep listening to the song to see where it goes. If it doesn't keep my attention, I skip to the next song.
I do this all the way through (usually in my car).
(4) I read who did the beats afterwards. If I recognize the producer, I see if the beat matches the
style I know they do.
(5) for the songs that didn't keep my attention on the first listen, I go back to them and try to listen to them
in their entirety to see if it got better as it went on.

I'll pretty much never skip a song the first time listening to an album, it has to be the complete opposite of the type of shyt I like. & even then, I'll skip ahead within that song to see if it gets better.
They'll usually be a couple I like right of the bat, so i'll play those back
Relisten to the album a few days later. I try to listen to it with different headphones/speaker system so I'll get a different experience. The bump test in a car (does that shyt bump?
) is always a good one. Theres always songs I don't really care for until I hear it in a car. Unfortunately I don't have a car, so this test is rare.Within the first couple times listening I try to just completely focus on the music & not do shyt (no tv, internet browsing, videogames, etc)
Eventually I always start to really fukk with songs I didn't like the first few listens
I do this with all the music I downloads
What about the lyrics? Don't you try to understand them?
