Don’t Smile At Me is a solid EP that showcased the talent for songwriting and production that Finneas brought to the table and also Billie’s great vocal performances. And it is the refinement of these things that that would later culminate into their great first studio album in 2019. And while Don’t Smile At Me is not a perfect record, and you can tell that they hadn’t hit their full potential yet, it’s still a very enjoyable EP nonetheless.

This is a pretty nice sounding album, and I see a lot of potential for Chiiild’s music going forward, but this album is just a little too generic and safe, which ultimately leaves the album to be a little forgettable. The track with Jensen McRae is still one of my favorite songs of the year though, and I do like a lot of what is on the album
I heard about this album because Ken Carson is signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label, and while I do think this is a little too derivative, it definitely is one of the better executed projects trying to do this Playboi Carti sound. The production is pretty great throughout, Ken Carson has a solid presence, and the album doesn’t overstay its welcome. I just wish it felt a little more original, but I’m hoping going forward Ken Carson can stand out more.
While this is definitely a flawed album, Dave’s talent lyrically and his storytelling make this a enjoyable listen regardless.
I didn’t know much about Dave before listening to this album: I had seen people talk about Dave’s last album, and I saw his performance at the BRIT awards, but this was my first time actually listening to a project from Dave. And while this is a solid album, there are just a lot of flaws that hold it back from being great.
While I do like this album ... read more
While I haven’t been a big The Kid LAROI fan in the past, and while I’ll still not, this is definitely his best project yet and Stay is his best song yet.
Even though I didn’t really like the first two installments in the Fuck Love series, I did see his potential and thought that if he could grow as an artist, he could make some solid music. And while this is still derivative and not as good as I think it could be, it is a notable improvement. The production is pretty solid, ... read more
A new James Blake album soon is exactly what I need…especially if it’s this great.
For me, Industry Baby isn’t as good as Montero (Call Me By Your Name), but it is yet another banger with solid production from Take A Daytrip and Kanye, a fun verse from Jack Harlow, and a solid performance from Lil Nas X.
REVISITING KANYE WEST’S DISCOGRAPHY #12
At the time this was coming out, I was very excited. This was when I was really getting into Kanye’s discography fully, and while I wasn’t looking forward to the religious themes, I was still very excited for new Kanye. I even got my hands on the leak of him playing the album in Detroit, and even though the quality was terrible, I loved it. LA Monster, Up From The Ashes, and the OG Use The Gospel before the changes had me very excited. ... read more

This collaborative project from Kanye West and Kid Cudi is about as great as you could have ever imagined coming from two very talented but sometimes inconsistent artists.
KIDS SEE GHOSTS is very short, but this concise runtime allows for no filler, as every single song is great. The production throughout is stellar, and both Kid Cudi and Kanye West have some great performances here and have a lot of chemistry on these tracks. It’s also the ... read more

Ye was released after a very controversial year for Kanye, and during a great 7-track album run. But while it isn’t the best of those 7-track projects, it is pretty solid and a surprisingly personal look at his mental health at the time.
Ye is a very short and concise project, but during the runtime we get a variety of sounds. We get some more braggadocious and wild tracks with unfiltered lyrics, but we also get a lot of more smooth and ... read more

TLOP has some absolutely fantastic highlights that are among Kanye’s best, but it also has some extreme lows, leaving this album intriguing and enjoyable but ultimately inconsistent.
I used to hate this album: I thought it was all over the place and just a mess, but as time has gone on this has grown on me a lot. And while it is kinda a mess, I think this messiness gives the album a unique feel. Yeah, the album is a little too long and has ... read more

Yeezus may be flawed, but it’s certainly one of Kanye’s most interesting, experimental, and impressive releases.
I didn’t use to like this album, but as time has gone on and I’ve given it more listens, this has definitely grown on me. I love the experimental and industrial production, and Kanye’s performances on here brings so much energy. Yeah, there are some questionable lyrics at times, but this album has some of ... read more

Cruel Summer has some great highlights, but it’s not really even a Kanye album and ends up being the least essential album in his discography. While it’s a solid label album with some great posse cuts, it just is kinda forgettable.

While this is definitely one of Kanye’s least essential albums, it’s still a solid album and has some great highlights on it.
Coming off of MBDTF, this album may have been a dip in quality, but it truly feels like a victory lap in album form. And while Watch The Throne may sound dated, and while there may be some really lackluster songs on here, for the most part this is a pretty solid album. The expensive sounding production is pretty ... read more

Classic.
MBDTF is my second favorite Kanye album, and I definitely see why it’s many people’s favorite. The production is insane, Kanye’s performances on here are great, and the many features throughout all bring a lot to the table. There are so many songs on here that are top tier Kanye songs, such as “Dark Fantasy”, “All of the Lights”, and of course “Runaway”. Almost every song on here is ... read more

808s & Heartbreak isn’t Kanye’s best album, but it still is great and an important and crucial moment in his discography.
While 808s may not be Kanye’s best album or anything, it is probably Kanye’s most influential album, and is definitely one of the most influential albums in the last 15 years. Not only was 808s & Heaartbreak ahead of its time, it really was the blueprint for a lot of things in the melodic rap ... read more

Graduation may sound a little dated, and it may not be as good as his first two albums, but it’s still a very important album in Kanye’s discography
Graduation may not have aged super well, but it was where Ye really started experimenting with more pop and electronic sounds. And while it may not my favorite Ye album, I still think this is a great album with many highlights. I love that he experimented more on this album, and Ye’s ... read more

Late Registration is not my favorite Kanye project, but it’s still a great album with amazing production and personality-filled performances from Ye, and is one of the best in his discography.
While in many ways Late Registration kinda feels like a second helping of what Kanye was doing on The College Dropout, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as TCD is a classic. And if anything, it just shows how talented Ye is that he was able to ... read more
REVISITING KANYE WEST’S DISCOGRAPHY #1
With Donda coming Friday (hopefully, who knows with Kanye), I decided to go back and listen to Kanye’s whole discography. So let’s start with his debut, and my favorite of his: The College Dropout.
The College Dropout is a classic with some absolutely incredible production. There are some seriously perfect songs on this project, as "All Falls Down", "Jesus Walks" and "We Don't Care" are all some of my ... read more

"@Pankace I don’t think personality necessarily means an energetic delivery or that she’s switching it up. She very clearly is having fun and having a song called Princess Diana after the memes of her being modern day Princess Diana and having many of the lyrics that she does on here shows her personality to me. The production also at times has personality, but I don’t think she’s devoid of it just because she kinda does the same thing over and over."
