    Our board is so small right now, a few days late is still on the front page haha. He for sure has earned his reputation as a rapper’s rapper. One of my favorite things about Hip Hop in general is how the rhymes and double meanings really make it so you can get more out of a track/album each time you listen to it. MF DOOM is damn near as good as it gets when it comes to that kinda thing.

    Hope to see you next week too! I’m trying to make sure each week’s album is something good, but also different from the week before so we can hear all sorts of Hip Hop.

      Next week’s is new to me! Not sure if I’ll like it but I’ll give it a shot.

      By the way we stole your album club idea over in lemmy.world/c/alternativenation. First week went okay. Hopefully both of our communities continue to grow and we get more discussion in the future.

        That is sick! I’ll have to check out y’alls album for this week, I love to check out different sorts of music. If we can find an album that fits both of our communities we should try a crossover post one week haha

          Well I’m not the main mod over there and I haven’t heard what we are doing for this week yet. If this idea is still going strong in a month or two a crossover would be a really cool way to promote both communities.
