Mista Thug Isolation (Lil Ugly Mane, 2011)

Beats are pretty impressive, rapping is sometimes amusing, I'm just not someone who can listen to this style of music for an extended period of time, and this feels hella extended.







Pangaea (Miles Davis, 1976)

Love the energy of Disc 1, due largely to Al Foster's drumming, but I think it climaxes too early and never really reestablishes its momentum.  The flute's a nice addition to Disc 2 but while I enjoyed its grooves it didn't seem to go anywhere.  Not a bad double LP at all, but not the monument I've come to expect from late-period Davis either.
