36 Chambers is coming very soon. It's almost done processing (larger file, so took longer than Telefone)

I would love to see some Open Mike Eagle but I do agree, I've never met anyone who's even heard of him, let alone a fan. I had Dark Comedy on repeat for like a whole year after it came out.

2022-03-20 23:00:00 +0000 UTCThis was a new album for me. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Being introduced to some new music through this platform now. I knew of the album but hadn't taken the time on my own. As far as female artists go I recommend The Archandroid by Janelle Monae. It is a science fiction epic with a retro/future aesthetic.

2022-03-20 06:00:26 +0000 UTCI love this album and I'm happy that you did this, enjoyed the reaction and appreciated her songwriting even more. Another female artist you should check is SZA and her album CTRL.

2022-03-20 03:37:08 +0000 UTCYea Those artists make great albums....Drake Take Care and Drake Nothing was the same are must dos and if u like them explore his catalog but alot of reactors loose passion and only end up making videos when Kendrick j Cole or Kendrick or some other similar tier artist drops stuff that's all I was trying to say. They usually forget about these smaller artists because the views may not be crazy crazy.

2022-03-20 00:18:41 +0000 UTCI saw some chatter about this on Discord today. It's too bad, but at the same time... I'm big into free speech. But, it's unfortunate some artists do seem to have an interest in disliking their own fans.

2022-03-19 23:54:54 +0000 UTCCare For Me has been on my list for awhile. Chance as well 👍

2022-03-19 23:53:29 +0000 UTCI'll look at it again with this in mind. Thanks for the insight on that 👍

2022-03-19 23:52:58 +0000 UTCI appreciate it (and glad you enjoy it too). I getting a little suspicious of those who just dance around and say "Oh great!" every song. A little too sus >.>

2022-03-19 23:52:21 +0000 UTC"Perfect vibe for golden hour on a warm day." Well said!
Bob_the_Poppop
2022-03-19 23:51:12 +0000 UTCI want to keep exploring. The popular stuff is important from a views perspective, but I'm a lot more interested in quality music.
Bob_the_Poppop
2022-03-19 23:50:07 +0000 UTCCare for Me is on my list

2022-03-19 23:49:27 +0000 UTCWell deserved too. This was really fun to listen to
Bob_the_Poppop
2022-03-19 23:49:11 +0000 UTCYeah, that sounds great. It's always neat when a new sound flares up all of a sudden.

2022-03-19 23:48:04 +0000 UTCThat was wild, I only didn't heart 2 songs. Unreal.

2022-03-19 20:45:38 +0000 UTCAnd I mean, the country is 75% white, just doesn't seem thought out though I understand her sentiment. But it just doesn't make any sense. I haven't heard any follow up since she said this a couple years ago, but her music is good so that's all I need from her.

2022-03-19 20:33:36 +0000 UTCYou have entered the Chicago rap scene. I totally recommend Mick Jenkins -The Waters and Saba- The Bucket List. Both amazing albums.
George
2022-03-19 18:06:06 +0000 UTCThis album is pretty great and so is Noname and if you're wondering hey why is nobody talking about her in rap circles you have to know that she has that Kanye-like mindset of self sabotage. Noname is pretty controversial for some people and has had some absurd takes on things that really sour her music for a large part of rap fans. The big conversation about separating art and artist applies to her for a lot of people. On one hand her charity "Noname Book Club" has done amazing things but on the other her burning bridges with a lot of people, having political opinions a lot of people disagree with and her refusal to play for white audiences really kills her momentum in the mainstream.

2022-03-19 13:26:43 +0000 UTCNow that you did Noname, Saba - Care for me, Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap & Mick Jenkins - Water(s) are a must! Great reaction!

2022-03-19 12:54:52 +0000 UTCBob would love Open Mike Eagle so much, but I'm not sure he has enough fans here to really get Bob's attention.
Alex VonBerg
2022-03-19 00:27:58 +0000 UTCReally great reaction, definitely one of my favorite hip hop albums. Bye Bye Baby is really a track you should go back to and read through again. The two verses are actually being spoken from two different perspectives. Verse one being the mother's perspective and the second verse being from the perspective of the aborted child. I find that song to be extremely vulnerable and beautiful, easily one of my favorites off the album.
Sam Shroyer
2022-03-18 22:16:25 +0000 UTCNice! Was not expecting a Noname reaction! This was great to see/hear you peel apart. I know you feel like you get caught up on deciphering the lyrics too much, but honestly, that's one of my favorite things about your videos. Too many reaction videos online are just people saying, "Wow, that's awesome" without ever trying to actually digest the art.
Jayde Stone
2022-03-18 22:10:00 +0000 UTCSo happy you reacted to this, one of my favourites of all time. Shadow Man is in my top 10 songs of all time. Now you have to react to more Smino and Saba
Tommy Tran
2022-03-18 21:17:59 +0000 UTCQuake 3 LAN party.. the kids will never understand. So happy you did this reaction. Noname comes from the DOOM school of playful writing. Full of eloquent, visual non-sequiturs. Reminds me of Earl Sweatshirt, Mac Miller, Joey Badass. Smooth flow too. I've always thought of this album as a wind-up music box. Beautiful, playful instrumentation. Sonically cohesive with no skips. Every track has an ear-worm melody. Perfect vibe for golden hour on a warm day.
Psykopomp
2022-03-18 21:13:24 +0000 UTCHell yeah quake is nice. Cool that you did this album. If you enjoyed this you might like 'Brick Body Kids Still Daydream' by Open Mike Eagle. It is also fairly short.

2022-03-18 21:09:03 +0000 UTCSo many reactors get so caught up in just doing the Kanyes and Drakes that people Like NoName and Saba get reacted to alot less when channels get big
John
2022-03-18 20:48:45 +0000 UTCYo I LOVE that u did this. NoName is a great rapper with a niche fan base. If your gonna do smaller albums like this can u try out Saba-Care for me. It's a deep album and it got me through a lot when it came out. It's a great piece of music
John
2022-03-18 20:47:35 +0000 UTCDamn, I never expect a Noname reaction, she doesn't have a huge following that would typically lend itself to this sort of thing. Regardless, I'm fucking pumped! Telefone was my AOTY the year it came out.
Erik
2022-03-18 20:38:39 +0000 UTCAlong the lines of the Noname/Nobody theme, De La Soul has an album from 2016, even if you don’t listen to it I suggest taking a quick peek at the title and the cover art, same energy.

2022-03-18 20:37:08 +0000 UTCThanks for doing the double-header even though it ended up being longer than expected, zero complaints when we get extra content. 😁

2022-03-18 20:30:30 +0000 UTCExcited, thanks for sharing like always!

2022-03-18 20:29:14 +0000 UTCSweet I love this album, Noname has a cool, unique chill style. Back when Telefone came out it was the peak of Chicago rap scene working together - Chance the rapper, Noname, Vic Mensa, Mick Jenkins, Saba. They all had a kind of jazzy, chill, socially conscious vibe that was refreshing.
Dylan
2022-03-18 20:28:19 +0000 UTCWoah extra reaction
