best of Wicked's Best of 2k18 | #1 TV Show Revealed! (pg. 9)

[mokitsu]

big freedia's ep was so fun but a bit same-y. crush  

[Tom Vercetti]

Same #1 ep 

 

haven’t listened to Big Freedia or The King Of R&B yet but I like the others.

[Pink Matter]

Ravyn was a nice lil surprise. Sticky is a jam and the other tracks on the EP were cute too. Def gonna check for her upcoming releases.

I listened to one of the songs on the Andre EP due to Tom's rank and enjoyed it. Might check it out as well even though that's not what I want from him.

Downloaded the Moses EP. I don't think his music is my cup of tea but I'll certainly give him another chance.

Jacquees though  I'm not sure if I can take dude seriously. I always see him acting up/being annoying on social media  

 

Edit: I too would like to know what the good sis Ravyn did  

[madonnas]

What's wrong with Ravyn?  I don't know much about her as a person.  Or is it her vocal?

New Optimism is so underrated there was like no hype for it!

FM! is on my albums list....   

[Vilppu]

what ravyn did

 

her + moses i dig, vince was ok too but def his worst release + very HM-y

[MP2K]

I always miss Moses Sumney projects.
I am NOT listening to no damn jaqueef

And I need this Rayvn tea that is my girl...

[Love Drought]

Andre, Moses, Ravyn, Big Freedia . I'm not planning on listening to the King Of R&B anytime soon 

 

As for your book list, I'm intrigued by The Tunnel, The Night Stalker & Siddhartha. The Kurt Cobain one seems cool too but doesn't it get a little too angsty at times?

[Navyofbadgals]

Moses and Ravyn snapped

though I was kinda disappointed that Rank & File was the only song song on his ep if you know what i mean efoiajpaiefo

Rank & File is a serve though

[TRF.]

Andre's EP is really really good, unfortunately I think I only played it like once or twice ?

[theblackestday]

Haven't listened to the top 3 (might as well get to it), but if Moses' next full-length is as good as these three tracks then we're not ready.

[Vxspertine]

I still can't believe that I missed out on the Andre EP 

[Wicked]

Albums lists should start rolling out later this week.

I totally missed out Andre 3000's EP  But I would have been interested in it.

Never too late to give it a listen!

I can’t at all these EP lists snubbing Khalid’s Suncity when Motion and Vertigo (plus the 2 songs smashing on Spotify) are almost flawless 

I didn't even know he released an EP

Andre Benjamin really did that.

He's a messy diva with terrible feet but he makes jams!

The Jacquees hate is so uncalled for  he got y'all big mad huh?

 

There's not really any tea, she just doesn't add anything to the music. There's no cayenne on it. Replace her with any other R&B girl over the same tracks and there's no difference.

Y'all need to stop with this Jacquees hate when he dropped the best R&B material of the year!

 

The Tunnel & Siddhartha are very short reads, so I'd highly recommend those. Yeah it's his private journal so there's times where it can get a little dark, but it has music industry/cultural commentary from one of the biggest acts of the 90s. I wouldn't't call it a must read but I enjoyed the insight (and the drags)

It's what made it top 5 worthy, a SONG.

Give it some more spins! Who knows when he'll drop something new.

I think you'll dig Andre & Freedia the most! Oh yeah, he's coming.

Never too late never too late never too late *Luther voice*

 

 

 

[MP2K]

 Iol I will try Jaq out and not be biased. I just wasn't impressed with the very first song he put out and "You" and then I had a friend that raved about him and it annoyed me.

 

I think what's working for Ravyn rn is the fact that no one is doing tracks like hers, so she's really owning that sound and her voice is unique. But you're right though, I think she plays it safe.

[Pink Matter]

If Wicked ****s with him, then I'll give him a shot.

[Maddox]

Adding the Jacquees/Andre 3000/Big Freedia eps to my wishlist!

I kinda thought the same about him when he first debuted, but he's grown a lot. Give 4275 a listen! If you like 90s R&B (who doesn't... ) he borrows from it well as mentioned, while updating it. I know damn well you were getting lit in the club to At The Club tho

As mentioned, listen to 4275!

[Bubble Tea]

Pure Comedy tanking and Pop 2 debuting... we love growth

 

Take Me Apart serving this in every revised list

 

[Vilppu]

we had the same AOTY cute ^-^

 

i like the upgraded list better, sleep well beast and pop 2 are great additions and pure comedy is genuinely one of my least favourite albums of the entire decade so glad that's out too 

[Blue Rose]

Perfume Genius, The National and TWOD (the best album of 2017  ) are all great.

Also I’m currently listening to Sleep Well Beast while catching up on the Best Of. What a coincidence
