De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising
93

Really fun and enjoyable listen, though I think it has a little too many skits/interludes. Besides this, there are no bad qualities of this album.

Best Song: Me, Myself, and I
Worst Song: (Technically) De La Orgee

JAY-Z - The Blueprint
98

Jay-Z’s best album imo

Wu-Tang Clan - Iron Flag
77

Pretty good album, though it is very inconsistent. Also feels like they are trying to bring back 36 Chamber/Forever era Wu-Tang, and while they do it well sometimes, in most cases it does not have the same energy that the aforementioned albums did.

Best: Uzi (Pinky Ring)
Worst: Chrome Wheels

A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement
68

The songs aren’t necessarily bad, but this album misses one big word in its predecessor’s title, LIFE. It’s pretty clear in their voices and performances that they just didn’t want to do this anymore, I have the same opinions on the production: it’s good but it’s not at all suited for ATCQ.

Best: Find A Way
Worst: Hot 4 U

Ol' Dirty Bastard - Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version
100

Absolute classic, love ODB’s chaotic personality and rapping style, especially over these RZA beats, the features were great too.

Best: Brooklyn Zoo
Worst: Drunk Game (Sweet Sugar Pie)

N.W.A. - Efil4zaggin
68

Woulda been way better if they weren’t saying they didn’t talk about fucking so much

N.W.A. - 100 Miles and Runnin'
77

Has some really weird and funny moments (literally a fucking Tutorial on how to suck a fucking dick). Though some cracks definitely show after Ice Cube, who they dissed on this album, left in late 1989.

N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton
93

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON! STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON!

Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Forever
94

A little bit bloated, but it avoids the issue of being extremely bloated, like most projects of this length are, overall this is another great Wu-Tang project.

Best: Triumph & A Better Tomorrow
Worst: Dog Shit (ironic af)

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes and Life
79

Huge fall off.

Despite the fact that I love the Dilla production style, and Quest’s rapping, it’s sad to say that these two don’t fit very well together on most songs. It more of dips in quality in the middle and near the end, then it picks back up, it also feels less laid back and more aggressive than the other two projects I’ve listened to before this.

Best: Word Play
Worst: Separate/Together

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
88

A very good album by kid cudi. Only real bad parts were the choruses, which for most songs I found pretty corny, but that doesn’t really matter. Besides that, there’s great production, a lot of emotions, and many other things I enjoy in an album.

Best Song: Up, Up & Away (The Wake & Bake Song)
Worst: Make Her Say

Kanye West - Donda
83

With my final Kanye review, and his tenth album, Kanye kind of delivers. It is definitely bloated in its 109 minutes, and is also the longest album I’ve listened to. Pretty inconsistent, but its highs are very high, and the lows aren’t that low, so it wasn’t all that bad, but it definitely doesn’t reflect on Kanye’s best work, but at the very least it’s his best since Pablo.

Best: Moon
Worst: Tell The Vision

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
96

Pretty similar quality and style to TLET, but it had moments of low quality (particularly at the end), but, besides those, there are no misses on this album.

Lil Tecca - DOPAMINE
70

Liked the first few but it fell off after that, every track after Hollywood is under an 80, besides this, the album is ok, there are some standouts (Dark Thoughts), and that’s pretty much it.
Best Song: Dark Thoughts
Worst Song: Irish Goodbye

Rihanna - ANTI
87

A very good album for my first Rihanna album review. Some songs were definitely bad (Work), but most songs were good, as were most of the instrumentals, and the songwriting.

Nas - I Am...
84

Has some good moments, but this is still definitely a downgrade from his last two projects. I would have liked it way more if he put more effort in some songs and didn’t make the choruses so goddamn corny in some songs (K-I-SS-I-N-G & Undying Love especially). But, this is still a great album nonetheless.

Best: Nas Is Like
Worst: Money Is My Bitch

MF DOOM - Born Like This
84

DOOM’s final solo album was a great project, though it slows down by a lot in the second half, and SUPERVILLAINZ is his worst song I’ve ever heard, leaving this album to be a bit underwhelming when compared with his others releases, it does still have extremely good moments

Best: GAZZILLION EAR & THAT’S THAT
Worst: SUPERVILLAINZ

Yuno Miles - YNX "EP"
71

I don’t even know how but this is actually good 😭

J. Cole - KOD
59

An extremely good concept that Cole preformed horribly. His rapping is incredibly corny, and some of these beats are half-finished. It does kinda get better at the end, but that doesn’t make up for the really shitty first half.

Best: Window Pain
Worst: Motiv8

JAY-Z & Kanye West - Watch the Throne
73

From what I expected, this was pretty disappointing. Not necessarily bad, but not groundbreaking, or really “great”, just good or alright. The features, just like everything else, weren’t really anything special (besides the features on No Church In The Wild). Though the album does have highlights, so I can’t necessarily say it’s mid, but it’s definitely not that good either

Best: Otis (9.1/10)
Worst: Welcome To The Jungle (4.8/10)
