I was never the biggest ApolloRed fan, but that “#Demon” song was special. The rest of the album was mostly generic rage/trap music, aside from “More Time.” Those two songs are genuinely special, but the rest of the project is just okay.

I’m not gonna lie, I stumbled onto this album completely by accident. I knew what N.E.R.D was, but I’d never actually sat down and listened to one of their albums. Wow.

The first thing that jumped out to me was how Tyler-coded it feels. Honestly, a lot of the ideas Tyler gets praised for are all over this record, and in some ways N.E.R.D executes them even better. You can definitely hear where Tyler pulled a lot of his inspiration from.

Honestly, some great work. I definitely liked Swag Disease more than crack n Confetti, but still some awesome work.

I’m ngl it’s 12:00 a.m., I’m lying in bed with all of the lights off in pitch-black darkness. I did no research before listening to this, I just got it recommended to me a long time ago and I decided to listen to it. My mind is numb. I don’t know what is happening, but I like it? Anyway, this was confusing.

This mixtape is awesome, man. I had a bit of Esdee fatigue, so I didn’t listen to this when it came out, but wow. I really don’t think there was a single miss, and the distortion is ceazzzzzzy.

If you look at my profile, you’d know I’m usually very optimistic when it comes to music. I tend to find something good in almost everything, and my ratings reflect that. So when I say this album is one of the biggest pieces of doodoo I’ve listened to in a while, I’m not exaggerating. There are maybe two decent songs, the rest is absolute garbage. Just listen to Molly Santana.

This is my favorite first listen of the year. This album genuinely inspired me to be a better person—thank you, Mink. I’ll probably end up crying tonight looking at a photo of your beautiful haircut.

Honestly, I just wasn’t feeling this one. There are tracks in here that I really like (mainly Like Glue, End of Spring, and Shibuya Transfer), but I’m just not a big fan of Kurus’ sound. I can definitely tell why people would like it, and I don’t have much to complain about; it’s just not for me.

I forgot I hadn’t rated this yet. The feeling I had while listening to this was the same feeling I had when I first heard Whole Lotta Red. I’ve yet to have another album give me that feeling. This project pushes boundaries further than I could’ve imagined. His vocals are by far the craziest in the underground. This truly feels like the evolution of Whole Lotta Red. Each year, it seems like we get a new subset of rage that pushes the sound Carti introduced to the next level, ... read more

Yeah, this wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. It was definitely still pushing the rage boundaries, but it just wasn’t as interesting as Rascal 51. When you make something that interesting, everyone’s going to hold you to that standard. Hopefully the album is better.

name another album that sounds like this… go ahead, I’ll wait.

Exactly—you can’t.

This project has some of the most unsettling yet beautiful production I’ve ever heard. It genuinely feels like an atmospheric horror film unfolding in sound. It’s a masterpiece.

Honestly, it’s hard to even put into words—this album is kind of unexplainable. Just do yourself a favor and listen to it.

I would be lying if I said I loved everything about this album, but I think that’s the point. Okgutta portrays himself as a genuinely demented person who isn’t ashamed of the crimes he has committed. He seems fully aware of the moral implications, yet shows no regret. The album features a very aggressive delivery over cloud rap beats, creating an intriguing dichotomy. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this album to most people because of the subject matter, but it’s ... read more

I need Che to keep this sound

Pusha T is, without question, my favorite rapper of all time based on pure skill. While there’s a heavy dose of nostalgia involved—having grown up listening to Clipse, "Runaway," and Cruel Summer in my brother's car—everything changed when I heard this album at sixteen. I had never truly sat down with a "lyrical" rap album before, so my expectations were low, but the production on "Brambleton" completely hooked me.
The track has an incredible ... read more

While I don’t like this as much as the original, it’s still fye. It’s grown on me a lot since it came out

Very unique album. I can’t say I’ve heard anything quite like it. This feels like true creativity coming out of the underground in a way that isn’t really expressed anywhere else. Artists like Che, Bleood, 2slimey, Osamason, and others don’t even seem to be operating on the same wavelength when it comes to this level of innovation. He’s like Ye, but recontextualized for a hyper-online, niche, almost alienated audience, and that’s exactly why he stands out as ... read more

listened to this album a long time ago, and while there are definitely some standout tracks like “Off the Map,” “Everyday,” and “Hang With the Goats,” a lot of the other songs felt repetitive and didn’t really hold my attention. I still like Faygo, but this project ended up being a lot weaker than I remembered.

One of the most uninteresting albums I’ve heard all year. It doesn’t really bring anything new to the table—Tezzus’s performance feels lackluster throughout. Diamond* shows some flashes with a few interesting verses, but he still needs time to grow as an artist. The Thugger feature stands out, but overall, the project just doesn’t leave much of an impression.
