Albums Noname - Room 25 (Discussion Thread)

I don't give peasants any attention..

So back to the album..I love that it's 11 songs. I think the length is perfect. I don't care for albums that are like 20 songs long without a true purpose.

Queen has great taste with her own music. Top 3 on the album.

 

[Dead End]

Was looking forward to this but not really feeling it on first listen. Maybe wasn't in the mood for this lane. Will have to come back to it another time.;

This shyt trash. I was never a fan of her spoken word flow, but it's especially bad on this.

 

[brownsugah]

[greenvale]

[brownsugah]

Room 25 by Noname

She had skills and I’m a big fan of rappers who try different shyt.. but with that being said It’s kinda hard to really get into this one. I think I’d probably have to put it on while cleaning up or something. I don’t hate it but I also don’t love it either. It’s ok.

I feel similar man, she got skills and I personally wanted to like it. It's just that it sounded like she was rambling and fake deep a bit but I guess I will run it back and see if my thoughts change.

Noname to Update ‘Room 25’ Cover Art

At no point does music stop being a forum for change. Chicago rapper Noname knows this well, as she tweeted early Monday morning that she would be working to replace the cover art on her fantastic Room 25 album in light of bodily harm and domestic abuse chargesbrought against cover artist Bryant Giles.

“I do not and will not support abusers, and I will always stand up for victims and believe their stories,” she wrote.

So honorable

“Fantastic Room 25 album”

That’s all.

No name for people to call small or colonize optimism
No name for inmate registries that they put me in prison
I sewed the answers in linen, phantom under the thread
Tandom riding in your cities where nikkas scared of the feds
There's a ghost on my bike, said he laid with a bullet
Re wrote the scriptures for living in all the ways that he couldn't
Gave up the profit for pennies, no taste in mystery pudding
When labels ask me to sign, say my name don't exist, so many names don't exist
Moved into Inglewood and the trauma came with the rent
Only worldly possession I have is life, only room that I died in was 25
What's an eye for an eye when nikkas won't love you back?
And medicine's overtaxed, no name look like you
No name for private corporations to send emails to
'Cause when we walk into heaven, nobody's name gon' exist
Just boundless movement for joy, nakedness radiance

Reading the comments in here reinforces my belief that nikkas don't know too much about music.

With that said, I can't wait to have this album on vinyl.

Can’t wait! Still #1 of 2018.
