Kendrick Lamar, 'To Pimp a Butterfly' - 50 Best Albums of 2015. Musically, lyrically and emotionally, Kendrick Lamar's third album is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece – a sprawling epic that's both the year's most bumptious party music and its most gripping therapy session.

A rap superstar at last, after years on the underground grind, Lamar wrestles with the depression and survivor's guilt that followed his fame and success by turning to heroes from Ralph Ellison and Richard Pryor to Smokey Robinson and Kris Kross to Nelson Mandela and Tupac. He lives large. He contains multitudes. The pleasures and rewards of To Pimp a Butterfly aren't easy. Leading the charge to bring live instrumentation back to hip-hop, Lamar and producer Sounwave call forth a sound as ambitious, free-associative and challenging as his rhymes: sci-fi funk on "Wesley's Theory," snatches of free jazz on "For Free?

More details surrounding the world’s biggest record collection have emerged. Ever since Zero Freitas emerged as the world’s most active record collector last year, there’s been a degree of confusion about what he plans to do with the five million records he has amassed so far. Now, in an interview with BBC News, Freitas has explained that the records are to be catalogued with a view to creating a searchable – and listenable – collection. “We hope people will be able to select records through our collection and listen to the music,” says Freitas.

Freitas also talks about the process of building his collection, which sees him buying records in bulk abroad and shipping them to Brazil in containers, where each record is cleaned and catalogued before being filed in the archive. Watch the full interview on BBC News and find out more about Freitas in an illuminating New York Times feature. Tags: MishMash.FM - The mashup controlled by tweets. About Mishmash.fm is a mashup of 225 artists - who control it from Twitter without even knowing it.

Each time one of them tweets, a piece from one of their most iconic songs is thrown into the mix, and keeps playing until another artist tweets and replaces it. At any moment, there are always three artists in the mix. And it always sounds pretty good. Built by Andrew Huang is a Canadian musician with 30+ albums in a huge range of genres. How does it work? We decided to have three components to the mashup: A lead part - like a singer, or a rapper, or that super intense synthesizer from Darude’s “Sandstorm”.

The pitch and speed of each piece were altered so they would all be in the same key (G# minor) and tempo (145 beats per minute).

Rapper's Flow Encyclopedia - Notorious B.I.G. | Genius Blog. Welcome to part 3 of my “30 days of rap analysis” bonanza. If you’ve missed it, this is day 9 of my Kickstarter campaign to raise money to help me write a book. Please, please think about donating – I’ve generated hundreds of thousands of page views between my blog, Rapgenius, and other websites I’ve been featured on, but have never made a cent off any of it.

If you give me anything (as low as $8 for a copy of the book), then we can both get what we want out of it – that good-good rap analysis – and go home happy. You can find the campaign at this link. Now, in continuing the righting of some wrongs in terms of rappers that I have yet to take a look at, we’ll be examining Notorious B.I.G. So, let’s start from this premise: we’ve got a problem.

Now, now, don’t worry – it’s one of them good problems. What’s the problem? You see, each of the songs we’ve analyzed so far in this bonanza – MF DOOM here, and Busta Rhymes here, and now Notorious – all have roughly the same amount of bars. -Martin. Why the Heck Aren't Funkadelic Considered Classic Rock? Subscribe to Ultimate Classic Rock on Who says a jazz band can’t play dance music?

Who says a rock band can’t play funky? Who says a funk band can’t play rock? Funkadelic came right out and asked these questions with their 1978 song “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?! ,” but they were part of the group’s manifesto long before — and a reflection of the loose, genre-flouting attitude that made them pioneers while also leaving them orphaned in the mainstream margins. They aren’t often mentioned in the same breath with the biggest or most influential classic rock bands of their era, but they deserve to be.

Name notwithstanding, Funkadelic were always a rock band as much as anything. Almost impossible, anyway. Listen to Funkadelic’s ‘Maggot Brain’ Yet rock radio remained indifferent to Funkadelic’s increasingly adventurous sound — and it wasn’t hard to pinpoint a major reason. Listen to Funkadelic’s ‘Red Hot Mama’ Clinton’s own relentless prolificacy also likely worked against him.
