Wavves - King of the Beach (2010)
And you're all like, but Carter you're supposed to be into all the HIPSTER SHIT BECAUSE YOU'RE A HIPSTER. Well even a hipster like myself will miss a few things and this is one of them. This is a Lo-Fi/"Beach" Pop album. Nothing crazy, just really fun stuff. Think Blink 182 meets Beach Boys. Alot of catchy, fun..this album is A Bud Lite Lime in your hand and a beach. I also know its "mainstream" now because I read that King of the Beach was in a commerical. And you know, I actually used to be one of those hardcore hipsters (kinda still am) who would always say "I LISTENED TO THEM BEFORE THEY WERE POPULAR" I'm old, so I say retro words like "popular" and "rad", but anyway. I used to be like that, but now I really don't even care unless its a sellout move. I'm looking at you Maroon 5.
Big L - Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous (1995)
Awful album title spelling aside. I've picked up quite a few 90s Hip Hop albums and I've come to find that it's ranging from "Meh to Ok" with me. I know people swear by 2pac but I wasn't a big fan aside from his singles. And for like a month I LOVED 7 Day Theory which..may have been why I was so depressed...BUT ANYWAY! I'd tell people I wasn't a big 2pac fan and then after they picked up their jaw, I would then say "Don't look at me like that, I'm not a huge Biggie fan either" Fat jokes...Fat joe...MAN these vicodin...ANYWAY! People would just get all butthurt about it. How do you like Jay-Z but not Biggie. How do you like this guy but not 2pac. As if they are the founders of Hip Hop. So I took a week and I snagged some Hip-Hop albums. Before I get into this Big L album let me just say something really quickly.2pac and Notorious B.I.G. Albums That Matter Power Rankings:
- The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die
- 2pac - All Eyez On Me
- 2pac - Greatest Hits
- The Notorious B.I.G. - Life After Death
So can we stop acting like these guys dropped super classics please?
Also I guess this makes me a Bigger fan because I put it first. All 4 of these albums are interchangable. And don't you fucking dare try to tell me that shit like R U Still Down and Until the End Of Time gets alot of plays in your headphones. Save the bullshit.
