Illmatic
Nas
I like the juxtaposition between life’s a bitch and the world is yours. One is about living in the moment because you never when you’re gonna go but the next track is about making plans for the future.
Also the boom bap drums and the bass lines under the piano and DJ scratching. Good stuff. Not afraid to call out pain. Struggling. Also is there an ace of bass reference?!

Fun album…kinda weird noises from the lead singer at times…groovy bluesy stuff. Not really my thing though.

Really dig this one. Figured it would be mostly acoustic folk sort of stuff but a good bit had a nice groove. I also like the lyrical content and the melodies. I knew these guys existed but never really got into it but I can see the appeal. Bet the live shows were fun.

Ellington at Newport
Duke Ellington
Really enjoyed it. I've been trying to get into more jazz over the past couple of years, and I've learned there's a whole lot out there, even when you just consider some of the classic artists. Everything from compilations to live albums...stuff that was a once-in-a-lifetime event. I got the impression that this recording really captured something special in Ellington's career.

In It For The Money
Supergrass
Honestly I hated the first 30 seconds of it and then it rocked. I dug the garage rock brit pop sound, and I didn't mind it when they slowed it down a bit. Good stuff.

Graceland
Paul Simon
Didn't actually listen to this one when it popped up...no need. This was one of those albums I listened to over and over as a kid...and into adulthood. Love it. Front to back. All rippers no skippers.
