Kendrick literally got people dancing in clubs and crip walking at home to a song about Drake and his camp being pedophiles.
This is actually the most disrespectful, most shocking, and most vile diss tracks I’ve ever heard… and i love it.
The fact that Drake immediately denied having another kid, but didn’t deny the sex trafficking and pedophilia allegations is actually sickening—especially when there’s stuff out there that makes you think there is truth to what Kendrick is saying—and the fact that more people are talking about the daughter stuff instead of that is also ... read more
I’m not a fan of Drake and the ghostwriting does lessen the impact of his diss, but ‘Family Matters’ goes hard, and it’s the hungriest I’ve ever heard Drake spit.
You can tell Kendrick had an absolute blast with this diss track. It’s so infectious listening to Kendrick rap his arse off on three beats, goofing around with Drake’s character and public image.
JID said fuck ya’ll for not giving me the recognition I deserve. DiCaprio 2 is a masterclass display of JID’s technical skill as a rapper. I dig every song on this album, except ‘Tiiied’.
The Never Story and The Forever Story are a solid double album listen, just to hear the artistic evolution of JID and the narrative arc of his come up. As for the debut album itself, it’s a great showcase of JID’s potential as an artist, and what makes him special as a rapper, but it feels more like a taste than a substantial meal.
The track run from ‘Underwear’ to ‘Hoodbooger’ is pretty weak filler, but still enjoyable enough as individual songs. The other ... read more
JID dropped this album like his family was held at gun point and their lives were on the line if he didn’t come through with the best rap album of the year. Phenomenal work.
A$AP Rocky’s third studio album is a boring directionless mess of sounds and ideas completely missing the mark on captivating and entertaining the listener.
‘Distorted Records’ is a baffling cobbled together intro. Nothing about the song sticks. ‘A$AP Forever Remix’ is such a lifeless track with a bland stagnant instrumental, and boring artistic performances, but a hilariously cheesy Kid Cudi contribution. I love me some FKA Twigs, but she is mistreated on the ... read more
With every A$AP Rocky release, his albums seem to be dropping off in quality. Live. Love. A$AP can feel repetitive and one note, yet it is enjoyable to listen to. Long. Live. A$AP is directionless and inconsistent, yet pretty enjoyable to listen to. At. Long. Last. A$AP is repetitive, one note, directionless, and inconsistent altogether, making it harder to enjoy as a whole. The first half is better than the second half by miles, but still, there’s a boring trail of track missteps on this ... read more
A$AP Rocky’s debut album is pretty much a mainstream pop makeover of his beloved mixtape two years prior. ‘Long Live A$AP’ has hard hitting verses and a beautifully elegant chorus, but the lyrical content between the two has no proper connection, leaving a little bit to be desired with the track as a whole. ‘Goldie’ and ‘PMW’ sound like they came straight from his mixtape, and are such fun tracks to listen to. ‘LVL’ is on another level, ... read more
Fearless is better than her debut, but that doesn’t mean anything, because still, the cheesy melodrama, terrible lyricism, and bland genericness of her music is just so insufferable to get through, especially when it’s over an hours worth of waterboarding material.
The production is fantastic; it’s atmospherically moody and otherworldly, it helps create this hazy space for A$AP Rocky to rap about drugs, sex, and drip with style and charisma. While this album is enjoyable to listen to, it can feel quite repetitive and one note throughout with a similar execution given to (almost) every track. I’m not head over heels about this album, like so many others are, but I appreciate its sound.
The only tracks I’m taking away from this are ... read more
An amateurish debut attempt with the most generic, most boring, most flavourless, and most cringe worthy country pop songs to touch the ears.
The Tortured Poets Department is excruciatingly boring. It is crippling to endure, absolute torture, honestly. Taylor Swift is the most overrated artist of all time, there’s no competition. She has made the same songs since her debut about love, perception, and heartbreak with the lyrical skills of a 13 year old girl on tumblr and the pop artistry of a used wash cloth. There’s no originality, there’s no personality, there’s no direction, there’s no liveliness, ... read more
If I thought the first album was tediously overlong, generically safe, repetitively stale, and monotonously flat, this sequel takes it to a whole other level. Holy crap. I’ve never skipped through so many songs so fast in my life. There is some truly insufferable listens on this. This never should’ve seen the light of day. Who the heck gave Future and Metro the idea that they can make straight rnb music? Who then let them release an absolute shit show rnb album? This album is ... read more
I’ve never listened to a Metro Boomin project, or a Future project, I’ve never had much of an interest to listen through their entire catalogue. When this dropped, I had no intentions to give it a listen, but once I heard Kendrick’s now iconic diss verse on ‘Like That’, and the fact that the song as a whole wasn’t that bad either—except the unnecessarily awful fade to end the song—I thought I’d see what else this album has in store. ... read more
I enjoy this album, a lot. Baby Keem’s expressionistic zany personality and unique vocal style is charming and infectious. Keem’s experimentally ambitious grand trap production, which blends his influences together in a pot of nasty stank face flavour is paired beautifully with Keem’s signature artistry. How Keem chooses to unconventionally attack a beat and spice a song up is another factor into what makes his songs so refreshingly catchy.
‘Trademark USA’ is a ... read more
A major step up from the terrible ‘The Sound of Bad Habit’, but this project is Baby Keem still looking to unlock his full potential. ‘STATS’, ‘NOT MY BRO’, ‘ORANGE SODA’, and ‘MOSHPIT’ are absolute bangers showcasing Keem’s unique style. ‘INVENTED IT’ is a short but sweet trap cut with a catchy hook and high energy, nothing else. ‘HONEST’ and ‘APOLOGIZE’ are beautifully simplistic ballads that ... read more
Baby Keem definitely hasn’t come into his own on this one yet. The uninspired and generic production, the weak as fuck energy, the boring song execution, the pointlessness of its short brisk unmemorable existence, and the lack of Baby Keem’s charming zaniness and experimental ambitions gives this no redeeming qualities.
