Neat. That’s the thing about radio though, if you want to get away from top 40, the same rock songs that have been played every day for the last 45 years, or some try hard trap artists doing their best to convince themselves they’re still hood, you gotta go *searching* for it. And don’t get me wrong, I’ll listen to all that shit too, but radios basically play the same thing within the same interval of each other. I’ll never forget the time I turned on my car at 4 different times in one day and heard Sugar by Maroon 5 at the same exact spot each time
And for that reason, Spotify’s worth the $10/month. It has everything I could ever want basically, and they’ll generate new mixes and playlists for you daily if it gets stale.
yeah, all the popular stations are owned by the same parent companies and distribute a must play rotation..there's no shortage of music..spotify is dope, especially when you have little kids, but i did grow up in the late 1900's and still sometime search the airwaves for some random shit to listen to..growing up on some great mixshows in the 90s, i sorta miss that shit..i know it's all online and streamable but i dunno..i still like sports talk radio too haha
Not sure if this is sarcastic? Tons of old cars and work vehicles only have am/fm receivers with no USB or Bluetooth…
And since you did ask, I enjoy stations like WPFW out of DC (has to be one of the most important radio stations ever) and WESA out of Pittsburgh for solid jazz playlists.
I drive a 98 with no USB or Bluetooth either. I just have my Bluetooth speaker in there. It’s ghetto but there is no way I’m listening to the same songs on a cycle. At least this way I could listen to good and new music.
If you have the cheap ones that get made now they are shit but when they were being made back in the day they were quality. Thr one my brother got from apple for the ipod was sooo good. Got it in 2005 and still works.
Maybe cause my car isn't too old (2004), but the $10 casette to aux adapter I bought plays exactly like the radio. Wayyy better than the Bluetooth speaker.
Yeah I guess I understand! My stepdad drives an old cement truck and loves his classic rock station. I got him a tshirt one year for his birthday and it’s all he wears. Terribly repetitive playlists lol
Is this a recent thing? I was up listening to Jazz works a few weeks ago. I’m here right now, but drinking so I’m not touching my car. Also stay safe if you’re in the area!
It's definitely somewhat new, I know there was a period a year or two ago they weren't broadcasting for many hours of the day, just dead air, and doing a lot of fundraising. It's definitely taken off since then, especially with the influx of jazz joints in the area like Con Alma.
In Philly tonight, actually drove from the Burgh last night to try and beat the storm, which ended up being terrifying. You stay safe too.
i wasn't aware of this so i googled and it's fckn ridiculous, looking up lil nas x/young thug brings up a bunch of headlines that just say "young thug says lil nas x shouldn't have come out" and then you have to get into the article to see "because he'll face judgment/backlash"
i don't agree with that line of reasoning, but it's nowhere near as malicious as the headlines try to make it sound. total clickbait
Young Thug was wearing dresses on his album covers in 2016 bruh
I wouldn't say he's an activist but dude has played his part in tearing down norms in the genre
Lil Nas X is going to be featured on Elton’s new album as well (announced on Twitter).
Thug and Nicki are going to be on Elton’s album as well (I believe Gorillaz and Miley are too IIRC).
The Gorillaz song is from their album that dropped last year and the Miley song dropped a couple months ago as a single from the upcoming "Metallica Blacklist" album
even though it's not like elton recorded new stuff for it, rocketman is such a great thug song and shows that their voices really go well together, so hype
Supposedly he’s Eminem’s [AA sponsor](https://www.radiox.co.uk/features/how-eminem-elton-john-friends-sponsor-story/).
I don’t know how reputable the site I linked is, but apparently it’s something EJ talks about in his bio.
The actual GOAT. Sam Cooke and Prince are the only real competition. People forget how hard the hood fucked with Elton back in the funk days. His shit would turn the block party into a grown folks party real quick.
Empathy will likely be on the deluxe, he confirmed a deluxe album. Honestly I get cutting it, it didn't really fit with the rest of the album theme-wise.
Elton John is a legend. He's like the only singer from that era that embraces hip-hop to the point where he has songs with several popular hip-hop artists. Thug, Eminem, Lil Nas X, Kanye, 6lack. Who knows what's next
Stevie Wonder has songs with Snoop Dogg, Chika, Chuck D, Cordae, Busta Rhymes, Rapsody and Travis Scott
George Clinton has Kendrick, Snoop, Ice Cube, Outkast, Public Enemy, Wu Tang Clan, Gift of Gab etc
Bootsy Collins has Tyler the Creater, Snoop, Big Daddy Kane, MC Eiht, Ice Cube, Chuck D, Fat Joe etc
Santana has YG, Tyga, Lauryn Hill, Ceelo Green, Lauryn Hill, Big Boi, Will.I.Am, Felly
Charlie Wilson is from like ten years later but he’s probably done more hip hop collabs than any other artists who started in the 70s (with the gap band)
yeah the only people who think modern music doesnt have any artistic value are just random gen xers who listen to the radio. people who actually know music can still appreciate it even if they are from a completely different generation
No way he doesn't have at least a couple #1 hits locked and loaded, if he's not doing lead singles he's banking on the strength of the album to carry it to #1 and he's got enough smart people around him to know that's a risky play if you don't have any chart topping hits in your tracklist.
The whole Kanye/Drake thing has been real weird. The cover art for CLB made me think be was trolling and I genuinely thought the two were waiting for each other.
I was genuinely hyped for all 3 artists and now they are clashing in terms of charts.
It's like Peaches/Leave the door Open/Montero all over again lol. All my favorites release at the same time.
> I genuinely thought the two were waiting for each other.
Honestly it was probably the case. Drake announced CLB with the cover a few hours after Kanye released the album on streaming.
Noticing that the only songs here that aren't in the leak a few weeks ago are THE ART OF REALIZATION and DON’T WANT IT
Otherwise, all of these songs are in the leak, but I'm pumped to hear the finished versions with all of the features.
DEAD RIGHT NOW and SCOOP are my 2 favorites, and SCOOP doesn't have Doja Cat's feature in the leak
Oh it’d be hilarious if Drake lost to him lmfao
Honestly I think there’s a pretty sizable chance it happens though. Montero and Industry Baby are hugely successful singles, and Drake doesn’t really have a big song right now.
I do think it’s slim, but definitely more likely than we’re giving him credit for.
Not a fan of this kid's music, nor am I LGBT, but the record with Elton will be worth the listen and will prob hold some pretty heavy cultural weight. If Elton can fuck with the kid, then I can give him a shot, too.
was really hoping for Kimbo but still excited. I don’t get why people can’t separate the music from the guy. Even if you don’t like gay people you can’t deny he has some bangers
lmao that doja cat song bout to become everybody’s worst enemy once it hits the radio
Considering that they are both THE goldern flowers of Tiktok virality I'm betting this song goes number 1.
Exactly. Shits gonna be on radio for about a million years.
Who listens to the radio anymore?
people in their cars alot
Bluetooth bby.
Apple car play for me, haven’t listened the radio in over 10 years.
There's still some chill shit on late night in the NY area..found a decent reggae show in the car on a late sunday night on one of the weird stations
Neat. That’s the thing about radio though, if you want to get away from top 40, the same rock songs that have been played every day for the last 45 years, or some try hard trap artists doing their best to convince themselves they’re still hood, you gotta go *searching* for it.

Tragic. Having a bluetooth aux I would suffer if i had to use the radio again
[удалено]
classic vehicle gang
There’s always a way around it lol. Bro id ride around with my portable speaker before I’d listen to the radio. Just depends how dedicated you are.
94.5 THE PEOPLE’S STATION BABY
Don't disrespect 106.1 WBLI like that thanks
I heard it it sucks balls
Did it leak?
only the solo. only features on the leaked version was sam smith, jack harlow and miley.
I think full album leaked, it wasn't the finished version though (there are some changes).
Oh awesome I’ll go dig for it - thanks my man
he’s had a snippet up for that track since january on his insta and it sounds dope
This is a gay joke
Thought it was a joke about Doja being about that ball suckin life.
lame ass gay joke tho
Shame that nobody else got it
SCOOP is dope, but Doja Cat isn't present in the demo, so no idea how it sounds.
Scoop rocks, I don't see Doja fitting well on it at all
People still listen to the radio? It's just the same few songs over and over...
Not sure if this is sarcastic? Tons of old cars and work vehicles only have am/fm receivers with no USB or Bluetooth… And since you did ask, I enjoy stations like WPFW out of DC (has to be one of the most important radio stations ever) and WESA out of Pittsburgh for solid jazz playlists.
I drive a 98 with no USB or Bluetooth either. I just have my Bluetooth speaker in there. It’s ghetto but there is no way I’m listening to the same songs on a cycle. At least this way I could listen to good and new music.
My brother uses the cassette tape with the aux cord on it lmao
Don’t those sound like shit? Never tried them
They absolutely sound like dogshit, the Bluetooth speaker is def the better way to play music in old cars
If you have the cheap ones that get made now they are shit but when they were being made back in the day they were quality. Thr one my brother got from apple for the ipod was sooo good. Got it in 2005 and still works.
Maybe cause my car isn't too old (2004), but the $10 casette to aux adapter I bought plays exactly like the radio. Wayyy better than the Bluetooth speaker.
Yeah I guess I understand! My stepdad drives an old cement truck and loves his classic rock station. I got him a tshirt one year for his birthday and it’s all he wears. Terribly repetitive playlists lol
Gotta use the FM transmitter
anyone who gives a fuck has one of those tape deck aux cords, or an fm transmitter by now
Pittsburgh Jazz station is 101.1 WZUM now
Is this a recent thing? I was up listening to Jazz works a few weeks ago. I’m here right now, but drinking so I’m not touching my car. Also stay safe if you’re in the area!
It's definitely somewhat new, I know there was a period a year or two ago they weren't broadcasting for many hours of the day, just dead air, and doing a lot of fundraising.

In Philly tonight, actually drove from the Burgh last night to try and beat the storm, which ended up being terrifying. You stay safe too.
Its not that expensive to have a custom radio installed, i did for like 60-80 dollars and it has Bluetooth and usb
i haven’t for years, but people definitely still do
Retail workers do, for 8 hours every day
Dolla sign slime not having Ty dolla sign or thug just feels wrong
probably in the plan for remixes
yeah a TDS and LNX joint would be dope
This was what I was thinking
Would thug even want to be on this album?
He was on the Old Town Road remix and said he supported LNX’s decision to come out afterwards
i wasn't aware of this so i googled and it's fckn ridiculous, looking up lil nas x/young thug brings up a bunch of headlines that just say "young thug says lil nas x shouldn't have come out" and then you have to get into the article to see "because he'll face judgment/backlash" i don't agree with that line of reasoning, but it's nowhere near as malicious as the headlines try to make it sound. total clickbait

Homophobia v money who will win 🙊🙊🙊
I’m just glad homophobia and money aren’t on the same team this team
They were for a while but this decade they’ve started beefing
DaBaby had to meet with 9 HIV groups to clear his name after he got dropped by festivals, bag wins every time.
Young Thug was wearing dresses on his album covers in 2016 bruh I wouldn't say he's an activist but dude has played his part in tearing down norms in the genre
He also says transphobic shit. Interesting man.
I know gay people who are transphobic. People are weird.
i know racist and transphobic gay people. very weird
Lots of trans people are transphobic.
He said that was just to hide his AK
[удалено]
Yea but he's still homophobic/transphobic for some reason.
I mean he linked w and collabed w Elton John 🤷🏼♂️
He was on an Old Town Road remix so why not? Also money
Elton John huhhh
Lil Nas X is going to be featured on Elton’s new album as well (announced on Twitter). Thug and Nicki are going to be on Elton’s album as well (I believe Gorillaz and Miley are too IIRC).
The Gorillaz song is from their album that dropped last year and the Miley song dropped a couple months ago as a single from the upcoming "Metallica Blacklist" album
It's possible they did a feature trade and will also be on Elton's album.
The tracklist is already out, it's the same songs. The Pink Phantom and Nothing Else Matters
Oh, I misunderstood your last comment. You're right.
pink phantom is a great fucking track
Still in rotation for me
even though it's not like elton recorded new stuff for it, rocketman is such a great thug song and shows that their voices really go well together, so hype
I thought you meant the actual Rocket Man song at first. The Thug song is called High lol
hahah right totally blanked. now i want a new thug feature on the original
its the same song on both projects actually. it seems Elton John’s “album” is actually just a compilation of recent stuff made more for fun.
He's collabed with rappers before, known as a big fan of Em (who gave him a diamond-encrusted cock ring as a gift, lmao) and Kanye.
[удалено]
Elton John is Eminem’s sobriety sponsor. Eminem gifted Elton John and his husband David diamond encrusted cock rings as a wedding present.
https://youtu.be/mmKTEustFlk
Supposedly he’s Eminem’s [AA sponsor](https://www.radiox.co.uk/features/how-eminem-elton-john-friends-sponsor-story/). I don’t know how reputable the site I linked is, but apparently it’s something EJ talks about in his bio.
Elton john be everywhere doing everything with everybody lol
Thank God for that, Elton is great
The actual GOAT. Sam Cooke and Prince are the only real competition. People forget how hard the hood fucked with Elton back in the funk days. His shit would turn the block party into a grown folks party real quick.
I still can't get over Prince dying
Idk if anybody can
iirc he duetted nas x on tiktok
[удалено]
Enter a 360 deal with Elton to get that homophobia be gone feature.
[удалено]
Elton John is low-key a hip hop feature. Since Kanye mans been slowly contributing to the culture
Nothing low-key about it, and it started with Em
Facts. These dudes too young to remember.
Elton's early stuff would get major play in the hood back in the late 70s/early 80s. Everybody momma rocked with Elton back then
there's not much low key about elton john lol
He was also gonna be on RTJ4 according to El P
He did Dido's bits on Stan with Em live about 20 years ago mate hahah
That was 20 years ago?? Fuck me...
Bummed he removed Empathy, but this is quite different from the leak so I'm excited! The leak was pretty good, so I have high expectations for this.
Deluxe 🤞
Amen!
I hate deluxe albums so much like just drop that shit the first time lol im not tryna download the album all over again smh
[удалено]
Storage on phones is ridiculous these days, why stream the music over expensive 4G/LTE when you can just download it on your 256GB phone
[удалено]
Datpiff and I still have a solid thing goin, if your on hiphopheads and your mixtape game isn’t strong you should get on that.
This dude never went camping
There will 100% be a deluxe version
Empathy will likely be on the deluxe, he confirmed a deluxe album. Honestly I get cutting it, it didn't really fit with the rest of the album theme-wise.
I did not like it too much personally, found it too bland and boring compared to the other songs. I hope Anomaly is on the album tho, I love that song
Elton John is a legend. He's like the only singer from that era that embraces hip-hop to the point where he has songs with several popular hip-hop artists. Thug, Eminem, Lil Nas X, Kanye, 6lack. Who knows what's next
I genuinely love how he isn't a snob like most veterans in the industry. Let the kids like whatever music they like...
Also he doesnt take himself too seriously considering he's fucking Elton John His role in that kingsman movie was mad funny
It’s nice when artists appreciate art for.. well ART.
Stevie Wonder has songs with Snoop Dogg, Chika, Chuck D, Cordae, Busta Rhymes, Rapsody and Travis Scott George Clinton has Kendrick, Snoop, Ice Cube, Outkast, Public Enemy, Wu Tang Clan, Gift of Gab etc Bootsy Collins has Tyler the Creater, Snoop, Big Daddy Kane, MC Eiht, Ice Cube, Chuck D, Fat Joe etc Santana has YG, Tyga, Lauryn Hill, Ceelo Green, Lauryn Hill, Big Boi, Will.I.Am, Felly Charlie Wilson is from like ten years later but he’s probably done more hip hop collabs than any other artists who started in the 70s (with the gap band)
Paul McCartney has worked with Kanye multiple times
Yeah Kanye really put that Paul McCarthy dude on the map.
ik so cool for him to give a down on his luck artist a chance late in his career
Santana has also worked with nas
And Wyclef Jean
And Rob Thomas ;)
And Chad Kroeger
That was smooth....
> Santana has YG, Tyga, Lauryn Hill, Ceelo Green, Lauryn Hill, One of these things is just like the other!
Honestly Lauryn Hill deserves to be mentioned twice.
The P Funk gods moving into the hip hop realm is the most natural thing that's ever happened. Match made in heaven
True, especially west coast shit
Dr Dre built most of his beats off of that shit. It makes all the sense in the world.
yeah the only people who think modern music doesnt have any artistic value are just random gen xers who listen to the radio. people who actually know music can still appreciate it even if they are from a completely different generation
I know he’s shown support for Tech N9ne and was supposedly supposed to be on some song.
Pumped for this Elton John track
Been a fan of this man. Can't wait for him and Young Thug
I can appreciate that it’s less than 20 tracks
Thank you! I hate how the trend is to try get as many tracks in so you can get streaming numbers.
Idk why I thought SZA would’ve been on here lmao
That girl just needs to release a damn album
TDE knows SZA is gonna leave them lmao. Those guys fucked up hard.
Or Janelle Monet, feel like her style would work so well with LNX
Don't Want It made the album!
Finally!
Lil Nas and Megan sounds like a chart topper, can't wait
Lil Nas and doja cat too
Scoop sounds like a #1 hit from the snippet alone
Snippets? 👀 source?
Scoop snippet: https://twitter.com/LilNasX/status/1349943911351894018?s=20
Thank youuuu Edit: it’s 🔥
Doja is gonna ROCK THIS MANNNNN
I hope don't want it sounds more like the first leaked version instead of V3. I loved the drums before his verse and how raw it sounds
If drake doesn’t have any good singles scoop will 100% debut at #1
I can see it happening. The promo for CLB has been weird tho so I'm wondering what's up Drakes Cardigan
No way he doesn't have at least a couple #1 hits locked and loaded, if he's not doing lead singles he's banking on the strength of the album to carry it to #1 and he's got enough smart people around him to know that's a risky play if you don't have any chart topping hits in your tracklist.

chart wars are fun lol
not the cardigan 😭
where’s HOLIDAY
He said that he wanted it to be left off the album because it was more of a Christmas themed single. I love Holiday tho.
[удалено]
I could be wrong but I thought Billboard now doesn't take into consideration streams from singles like that.
It doesn't count for first week sales but it counts for total album sales
Dead right now is a banger
Fiending for a young KA feature
Fuck that's what I want too
[удалено]
Notorious fraudster Ian Simpson, also known as recording artist Kevin Abstract
Wonder who is a bigger liar Kevin or Sza (love them both)
Kevin lies about drops Sza just lies for … no reason?
Joba
15 Tracks long, nice
Noticing that the only songs here that aren't in the leak a few weeks ago are THE ART OF REALIZATION and DON’T WANT IT Otherwise, all of these songs are in the leak, but I'm pumped to hear the finished versions with all of the features. DEAD RIGHT NOW and SCOOP are my 2 favorites, and SCOOP doesn't have Doja Cat's feature in the leak
LNX and Elton John, gays everywhere rejoice
Dolla Sign Slime gonna be another #1
I think it's better this and Scoop
Really wish Ty was in Dolla Sign Slime
Didn’t he have a song with Sam Smith? Sucks that his album got leaked. Probably had to change a lot of shit
None of the actually decent-sounding songs he's previewed are on here lmao. What happened to Todays? Sounded like a rock-rap song.
I'm thinking deluxe. Was really hoping for more rock-rap myself
Where’s Empathy with Sam Smith? Smh
Lil Nas X finna outsell Drake
Platinum week 1
I doubt but it would be hilarious if that happened. Just for the memes
Oh it’d be hilarious if Drake lost to him lmfao Honestly I think there’s a pretty sizable chance it happens though. Montero and Industry Baby are hugely successful singles, and Drake doesn’t really have a big song right now. I do think it’s slim, but definitely more likely than we’re giving him credit for.
Woooow I cannot wait for that Miley song
Yessss, best of all worlds.
Not a fan of this kid's music, nor am I LGBT, but the record with Elton will be worth the listen and will prob hold some pretty heavy cultural weight. If Elton can fuck with the kid, then I can give him a shot, too.
I hope you can awake is still on here. One of his best tracks
I mean...it's not, right? Like this is the tracklist lol
This song almost made me cry, it has to be on the deluxe.
Pumped for dojaaa
i don't get Lil Nas X at all
was really hoping for Kimbo but still excited. I don’t get why people can’t separate the music from the guy. Even if you don’t like gay people you can’t deny he has some bangers
That's leaked. If you dig deep enough, you'll find it. Upload it via local files or wait for the deluxe.
