I listen to all kinds of music, but I like to provide a little hip-hop in these threads whenever I can, because it is always extremely lacking here on Hubski. I feel like Hubski could be more based. Even if you don't like hip-hop, well here it is. So my first pick, is non other than the self proclaimed "Based God" himself. Lil B.

Surrender to Me - Lil B

I'm God - Lil B

Inspired by this article from Vice about listening to Based God for 50 hours straight. Read it, it's hilarious. This dude is a worker. I don't like most of his music but he has some gems... but he has like 50+ mixtapes and releases a new one like bi-weekly. One, called the MySpace collections, is like 850 songs. The article is a good read. Quote: "7:14: Total mental and emotional surrender to Basedgod. It feels sort of nice." So I urge you, as well, fellow Hubskinaut, to surrender to the Basedgod. Embark now on a journey to become more based.

Also, Big Sean, who I love, is dropping another album this month. He released a new track to it last week, called Fire. So far they have released two tracks from the album. Really excited for it, he's like Kanye 2.0, and oddly enough that's who signed him.

Also, one of my more recent favorite artists, Childish Gambino, AKA Donald Glover the actor and comedian. He also happens to be a damn fine rapper. Been sleeping on him for awhile but finally dove in and went through all of his stuff, and it's all great. So here are a couple of my favs...

Heart Beat - Childish Gambino

In related music news I saw Vampire Weekend last week, and it was "meh" as far as concerts go.
