J. Cole - The Off-Season
75

Coles relaxed but still passionate demeanor certainly works here. Production is still lacking unfortunately

Macklemore - GEMINI
60

Fun variety without direction

Lyrical Lemonade - All Is Yellow
53

Succeeds based on the talent of the featureed artists alone. A few standout tracks and a lot of confusing ideas.

Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.
78

ngl I was lowk geekd when i first rated this. Its still great(borderline classic?) but a 90 something is hella wack. I get it was kendrick accepting and tryna play with modern, more traidtional production and song structure but his previous albums were amazing cuz he wouldnt do this. Even though the production is a little spotty, I love the sequencing and the whole back to front concept is cool. Another reason this album might've lost some of its glory is how it was touted as ... read more

Young Thug - Punk
71

Its kinda hard to reconcile how mild and soft thuggers vocals and beats are on this record often, but it still contains some great songs that show thugs versatility. the direction this album goes in kind of reminds me of where i wish btg would've gone with reggae and country, as i wouldnt consider more than just a couple of these to be typical trap bangers. its still too padded out and contains the same messiness that plagues all thug projects, but certainly showed thug's versaitility ... read more

A$AP Rocky - LONG.LIVE.A$AP
85

73-->85
even though its supposed to be rocky's commercial debut, it honestly hit just as hard as live love asap for me. Perhaps the production and ideas sometimes go off on tangents and don't feel quite as focused as the original mixtape, but I think the more aggressive and vocally engaged performances land really well. Love how he curated the features on here too tbh, each feature felt like it had its moment. Really feels like a snapshot into the asthetic and general vibe of the ... read more
