2013 Wishlist

A list of things I hope happen in 2013: 

• Kanye West releases a chill-wave concept album about his child
• Lana Del Rey and Christopher Owens become romantically linked
• Lana Del Rey threatens to leave Christoper Owens if he doesn't re-unite Girls
• Girls get back together
• EMA drops a new record
• Dr. Dre releases Detox
• I figure out why Swedes are so good at pop music 
• People realize that the hologram thing has gone too far, discontinue using holograms indefinitely
• Das Racist say "hahahhahahajk" and re-unite
• Exitmusic actualize full potential, release the amazing LP that they are capable of
• Kings of Leon release their best album to date, which will be considered the first "classic" rock record in years. This will consequently make all of the haters eat crow and allow me to mention that I love this band without verbally sparring with people who only know them from "Sex on Fire". 
• Jay-z and Beyonce do an album together
• A$AP Rocky's debut lives up to my incredibly high expectations

• I attend Pitchfork Music Festival 
• Yuck release a new record
• M83 puts out a new record
• Kev Brown finally gets the respect he deserves
• American Idol, The Voice, and X-Factor go off of the air 
• 2013 is even better than 2012

Kanye and Kim Kardashian Expecting Child

Having seen the success of Blue Ivy Carter, Kanye and Kim Kardashian decided to get a child of their own, according to E! News.
I can't wait for the future success of Ms. Donda Spaceship West.
I also can't wait for Kanye to explain to his child why mommy is "famous from a home movie".

"But, Drunkunc" I'm sure you are no one is asking, "how can you possibly co-sign an album that says "bitch" roughly 600 times and is as pro-violence as it is misoygnisitic?!".
Because, concerned person me, the songs on this record get new uses out of old material, and that impresses me. Also, it completely serves the purpose it sets out to do while marking a big step forward in a burgeoning career. Therefore, I tolerate the bullshit that comes along with it.

Is this approach to music morally reprehensible? Almost certainly. But is this an effective way to approach music? Maybe.

K, now that that is cleared up.

This record is an exciting, forward-leaning LP disguised as a lowest-common-denominator freshman release by a one-hit wonder.  Finally Rich is like buying a '96 Camry only to find that it has NOS under the hood.

The slightly-off-rhythm spitting and oddly infectious hooks coupled with top-tier production make Finally Rich more than worth a listen. But don't just take it on faith:
