This was my introduction to Vaporwave, and it still holds up today. The heavy sample-based pop and funk songs give a perfect idea of a vibrant 80s or 90s mall. It's a great album, both for the time and how people still talk about this album to this day.
This woman was ahead of her time. All the songs were created in the '60s through the '70s with themes and lyrics that are still relevant to this day with a perfect blend of different genres, from Jazz to Sunshine Pop. It's one of the best and most underrated compilation albums I've heard in a while.
This was the first Westside Gunn album I fully listened to and looking back on it, it doesn't disappoint. I've heard of WSG in passing but never gave him a look and he quickly became one of my favorite artists.
I miss when Carti actually cared about music instead of just becoming Rocky 2.0
Probably the rawest and most human album DG has made this album sounds more like a cry for help for change in their personal lives while trying to push the listener away from the band's issues.
I've tried my hardest to like this album but nothing clicks with me the only songs that I like to their fullest are the intro and outro tracks everything in the middle is certain segments that I enjoy or are catchy and Kanye's more aggressively braggadocious demeanor on most of the album pulls me away from the music the main difference for me from an album like MBDTF is the instrumentation and how big it sounded. This album sounds like Kanye screaming at you for 40 minutes about how ... read more
Good album and Kanye ref before he even existed
I decided to pick up this album when I first heard his verse on Spanish Jesus and I quickly became a fan. The final track on the album "Precious" also helps him show off how much of a great storyteller he is it's a great pick if you want to hear a mixture of both English and Spanish rap
This is technically seen as DG's lowest-ranked album (Everything else ranked lower is considered beat tapes or compilation) and it's disappointing because I think the empty and more EDM-inspired parts of this album help convey the theme of paranoia and government surveillance. The music videos also help this idea with most being rendered 3d objects (exceptions being the intro and outro tracks) showing it to be barren and isolating.
One of my favorite records of the current decade I think Armani improved herself heavily since LIZ 1 this would be higher if Sike wasn't the outro song it didn't feel fitting for the record and was a massive switch from the already established album
Disappointing for my first listen not that many notable songs on this record and the beat selection on this album was the worst part of this album
Vultures 2 is Vultures 1's lowest low this doesn't feel like an actual album it feels like an amalgamation of scrapped songs from V1 and Donda 2 that were loosely put together by Elmer's glue sticks. The best songs on this album weren't even made for the album just scrapped songs for Donda 2 that got leaked.
A good handful of the songs are good but everything else is ultimately disappointing with unneeded features or verses that could have been scraped, and a lot of the songs could have been shortened it's disappointing how most of the instrumentation for this album is great but with lackluster and boring artist it just makes the experience very underwhelming
I had no idea this came out but it quickly became a top 10 for the year
