Yes, we will be getting Redman’s Muddy Waters for the October R&HH ROTM! I cannot wait to see the packaging for that one! In terms of the R&HH picks of 2020 so far, Redman’s Muddy Waters might be my favourite! It’s either that or Prince Paul’s A Prince Among Thieves! Redman’s eccentric and characature like voice would be irritating/annoying to some! Definitely understand why you don’t vibe Redman! 🤝

The December R&HH ROTM is going to be Big Boi’s debut; Sir Lucious Left Foot! I think that’s also a great pick! Looking forward to seeing the packaging for that! 😍

If we do indeed get People Under The Stairs’ O.S.T as the November R&HH ROTM, it will mean the second half of 2020 R&HH ROTM’s are all at least a 9/10 picks for me! And that’s never happened before - having six R&HH ROTM’s in a row that are so strong! 💪💥

That Big Boi album is, indeed, fantastic. Again, I'd skip it since I have it on CD but it is a beginning to end killer album w/ great guest spots (Fo Yo Sorrows is my jam)

I wonder which cover art they'd use.

I love Fo Yo Sorrows! Such a spooky, trippy, spacey, haunting, sickening, funky song! 😍

I love the song Hustle Blood and Tangerine! They’re such sexy songs! The former is a sweaty, teasing, seductive, echoing, body-rolling sex jam whereas the latter is a booty-clapping, dirty, hot-potato, 70’s funk jam! 🔥🔥🔥

Can’t wait to get that Big Boi! 💎😍😍😍💎

I love Quality Control. I haven't spent time with Power In Numbers. I think QC is a a great album maybe a notch or two below some of the best of Tribe or De La but it is still a great record and I enjoy the production quite a bit too but maybe I am just a big cornball.

Omg. You think Jurassic 5’s Quality Control is better than De La Soul’s 3 Feet High & Rising and Stakes is High and A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders! 😱😱😱

That quote says a notch below so saying it's close but not quite as good as those

LOL, thanks @frodo-pkt I thought I mistyped something.

I started typing some then realized I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to R&HH takes - there's a very real possibility of lil baby me getting schooled by the pros in here 😳

That said, "No More Parties in LA" is Kanye's best song 😗
 
Also not sure how hot/cold of a take this is, but I genuinely feel like Denzel Curry's TA13OO is one of the best albums of the decade - or at least it's one of my favorites. I can replay that thing front to back over and over and not get bored with it. The progression of the album from relatively soft and mellow to agressive and loud is so well executed and the album just has a great flow to it.

Saying Kanye West’s “No More Parties in L.A.” Is Kanye West’s best song is a little bit of a hot take! That would be like saying “Dracula” is Gorillaz’ best song; a quite a lot of Gorillaz fans would claim to be Gorillaz best song, but nowhere near in comparison to Clint Eastwood, Feel Good inc, DARE, Rhinestone Eyes and Stylo.

Same case with Kanye West, where Jesus Walks, Touch The Sky, Roses, Flashing Lights, Heartless, Dark Fantasy, Runaway, Devil In A New Dress, New Slaves and Ultralight Beam would be the ones considered by the wider audiences as his ‘best songs’.

TA13OO really is an excellent album and is certainly Denzel Curry’s best album in my opinion! I agree that it’s an album you never get bored with and the flow of the album is really nice! Freaking love TA13OO! 🤡🎎🎈🖤

I think my thing with hot takes is I usually think in terms of my favorite instead of objective "best" - it feels weird for me to say something is the best because that implies some degree of objectivity which I lack entirely lol as for "No More Parties in LA" on top of having great performances from both Kanye and Kendrick, has my favorite beat in any Kanye song. But my Kanye opinions would be sacrilegious to most. I'd probably listen to Yeezus before I'd listen to TCD or Late Registration. But that's probably more of a generational thing too.

"Dracula" is a jam but it's also a deep cut, I can't imagine it would make my top 20 Gorillaz songs (a list I am not even remotely prepared to consider making) even though I do love it. But again - if you were to ask my favorite I'd probably say "Stop the Dams" which is a song I doubt many others care about and even among the fans it's not one I think too many others love to the same degree that I do.
