She had the worst upbrining to be fair and plus I'm gonna assume people were racist around her while she grew up beleiving she was superior to minorities.

Gotta just focus on the music

yea just gonna dive in and ignore the other stuff surrounding it.

I try not to let artists personal life get in the way of me enjoying their music.

it's probably the way to go, sometimes it depends on what kind of "wrong" thing they did or were accused of tho

but tbh, they're still human made after all so yea its def not a black and white thing, not as easy as that most of the times.

Yeah pretty much.

As long as it ain't rape or pedophilia I'll listen.

Didn’t know she was racist

That’s surprising considering how progressive ppl like Lou Reed and Warhol come off

i mean yea lou had accusations of racism as well iirc

but you can read her wikipedia for instance:

Nico was described by some friends and colleagues as racist. Her friend Danny Fields, the American journalist who helped her sign to Elektra Records, described her as "Nazi-esque", saying: "Every once in a while there'd be something about Jews and I'd be, 'But Nico, I'm Jewish,' and she was like 'Yes, yes, I don't mean you.' She had a definite Nordic Aryan streak, the belief that she was physically, spiritually and creatively superior." According to Fields, in the early 1970s, Nico attacked a mixed-race woman at the Chelsea Hotel with a smashed wine glass, saying "I hate black people". During a show in Berlin with Brian Eno and John Cale, the audience "hurled plastic seat cushions at the stage" after Nico performed the German national anthem "Deutschlandlied" including the first verse, omitted since 1945 for its nationalist associations.

lmaoo totally forgot about this song

Yellow tape - key Glock

Erykah Badu - Worldwide Underground

Erykah Badu - New America Pt. 2

8.4/10

loving this even more than the first one @pneumonia

kanye west - my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
10/10

José Gonzalez - Veneer
I've been revisiting this album so many times since it dropped in 2005. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this record.

Revisiting this, twenty years later, still iconic. 10/10

felt a 6.1 on this one, the lows were pretty low but I thought the best tracks were bangers, Highlights: Mahogany, Piano Trap, Wayne's World, Wild Dogs

Melodrama

The Tonite Show w/ Curren$y and DJ Fresh - 5.1 (first impression)

Nothing that compelling about this album, honestly probably won't go back to it much after a couple listens. Spitta's voice gets lost on some tracks, but the beats are pretty funky. Some middy pack to throw on a summer time playlist. All About the Dough probably my favorite song.

T.I. - Urban Legend
8.6/10

Middle ruins it from being really f***ing good
