Cunninlynguists - Oneirology
Solid album. Cunninlynguists is really proving their worth with these concept albums IMO (though their first couple albums remain their best IMO). Some say Kno fell off a little but I disagree. That said, I'd rather keep Kno behind the boards for the most part.

Atmosphere, Eyedea, Grieves & Budo, Blueprint and all the other Rhymesayers label are what really gets me feeling good.
First, R.I.P. Eyedea. Not necessarily always the type of music to make you feel good though lol. Have you checked out Evidence's latest release Cats and Dogs? Ev signed to Rhymesayers last year I believe, Cats and Dogs has been good to me these last couple weeks...picked it up on lime green and pink vinyl!
Evidence feat. Slug & Aesop Rock: "Late for the Sky"
And a
Primo banger from the Ev album.
Nice to see the Schoolboy Q on here as well. Al the Chemist certainly deserves some respect IMO as well (Alch produced quite a few beats for Evidence's Cats and Dogs FWIW!). I've got an Alchemist instrumental album I love to throw on the platter when I'm sitting back with my vapors.
elevation: I see you posted K.R.I.T.'s "Dreamin" on the last page. Good call! The Return of 4eva (foreva, eva?)!
I also see you got some Curren$y artwork as your avatar. I must admit, I've been a little disappointed in Curren$y recently, I think he needs to slow way down with the amount of music he's releasing. Curren$y isn't the most substantive MC (that's not
meant to be a jab) but has a great flow and delivery IMO. This three to four albums a year formula though is a little over the top especially when the quality (IMO) suffers. I will say, as long as he keeps messing with DD127 and Ski Beatz in particular (and Alchemist for that matter!) then I'll have a strong incentive to listen.
Sorry for the rant, I stay away from these types of threads on here for this reason
Usually keep my music talk sectioned off in dedicated forums, nice to see this thread go strong though.
