Fun project. Black Milk supplies some excellent beats and Danny Brown has witty bars but there's nothing spectacular here. There's really not much connection between each track.
Favorite Tracks: Wake Up, Jordan VIII, Black and Brown
Least Favorite: LOL
I enjoyed most of the songs on this album. The second half is a bit weak.
Favorite Tracks: Shots, Gold, Polaroid, Friction
Least Favorite: Summer, The Fall
Without the aggression of the first album or the amazing production of the second album. Still enough to be a good album but a bit worried about future RTJ albums.
Danny Brown's most focused album. The beat selections and dark vibes are fantastic
Pusha T and Menace bring the same gritty style as in their previous album but with more interesting beats.
Favorite Tracks: Freedom, Kinda Like A Big Deal, I'm Good, Never Will It Stop
Least Favorite: The last two tracks. They weren't bad but they felt a bit mediocre compared to the rest of the album.
Like watching a movie. Kendrick is probably the best lyricist right now. Somehow he manages to fit his entire narrative without sacrificing any listenability.
Some excellent beats. Lil Uzi is very braggadocious and playful here.
Raw. Pusha T delivers some hard-hitting tracks and even takes aims at his former business partners. Nothing spectacular but solid throughout.
Favorite Tracks: Intro, Untouchable, M.P.A
Least Favorite: F.I.F.A., Sunshine
Every song is like a beautifully crafted movie. My only complaint is that Richard Dawson doesn't really have the best voice and it shows on some songs more than others (Ogre for example). Although he kind of gets away with it because the less than stellar voice seems to advance the sort of folksy feel of the album.
Favorite Tracks: Ogre, Soldier, Prostitute, Beggar
Least Favorite: Hob
On Shapeshifter, Dawson mentions the man being given a potato. How??? Potatoes are a new world crop but I ... read more
I'm not a big Outkast fan but the more mainstream songs on Stankonia really did it for me. Interludes are alright but not when they make up a third of the tracks.
Favorite Tracks: Gasoline Dreams, So Fresh, So Clean, Ms. Jackson, B.O.B., Humble Mumble
Least Favorite: I'll Call B4 I Come, Toilet Tisha
For some reason, the two tracks with American rappers are among the worst on the album.
Really creative trap album
Favorite Tracks: 3500, Pray 4 Love, Nightcrawler (There's a brief point around 3:30 where I could swear Chief Keef is speaking Chinese), Apple Pie, Ok Alright
Least Favorite: Wasted, Piss On Your Grave
