Happy June. May just ended, and I’ve been listening to music for the whole month, so I figured that it might be fun to show off my chart for the month and elaborate a little bit on how I feel about each of the albums.
This chart is a showcase of the albums I listened to the most this month. To create it, I used Topsters 3 alongside the .fmbot application Discord to see my most listened to albums for the month (as Last.fm does not allow you to see your monthly report without Premium). The ranking of each album is determined by how many track plays I got for it within the month; or, the amount of tracks I individually played from the album.

Content Warning: This album contains explicit language and content, in addition to heavy reference to drug abuse.
The third studio album by Lil Shine, “Get Rich Or Die Sippin’,” is now here for all to listen to, after much hubbub and controversy. However, this discourse is not aimed towards the Minneapolis rapper, nor the content of his music. Rather, the circumstances surrounding this release are what has garnered the interest of many aficionados of underground and cult rap. This just may be the last project of Lil Shine we will be hearing for quite some time, due to his legal affairs being in turmoil. A real shame for those who enjoy his musical stylings, as this project may just be his best yet.
Wikipedia is an interesting place to explore and learn about new things. In my opinion, it is one of the quickest ways to learn about a topic that doesn’t require diving into research or trying to find an accurate source on Google. If I need quick information on a topic, I usually go immediately to Wikipedia.
Sometime last year, I decided to take a dive into Wikipedia’s articles on emo, which led to an interesting discovery of how the editors of these pages view emo. If you’re reading this, join me on a (somewhat) deep dive into Wikipedia’s articles on emo.
