I really, really wish this was longer.

Elseq - eastre will be looked back on as a highly significant piece of music. 

 

Danny Brown, Kanye West albums were good but lacked the spark of Old and Yeezus. 

 

And that's about it for 2016. 

special "musical achievement" or somethin like that award to Kanye's bleached asshole line
