TESTING

I honestly think this record is very unappreciated. Rocky seems to be going for a dusty and raw aesthetic, which I think he does very well. Rocky has a very strong discography and even though this is my least favorite of his albums, I still like it a lot.

A lot of this album has a quiet and eerie sound and I think that’s makes it unique to the rest of his discography. Songs like Changes are basically completely unique to any other Rocky song, and I love it.

Purity is everything this album was trying to convey in one song. The Frank Ocean feature is incredible and weird. Once Frank starts rapping it’s really cool and the background effects are so awesome. Rocky has a really incredible verse and it sounds like he’s albums crying. The instrumental is so weird and beautiful at the same time. I think it’s one of the best and most abstract songs in Rocky’s discography.

Hun43rd is one of my personal favorite Rocky songs, I love the sample flip and the beat. The chorus is so good too, and I love Rocky’s laid back flows. The crowd chants at the end of the song are also awesome.

While I do think this album has high highs, there are some moments that are boring or just don’t add much to the tracklist. It has a lot of songs that are just good average Rocky songs that’s nothing special.

Overall I think this is a great album and one of the more underrated albums from its time period.
