i do find this to unfortunately be carti's weakest album by quite a margin which is disappointing considering the massive wait it took to release. nothing wrong with a 30 track album (i actually think a longer tracklist gives potential to make an album better than a shorter one) but this shouldve been cut down to at least 20. there still however is a lot of good is especially the diversity in the tracklist. the genre blending and experimentation is really cool to see. the production ... read more

proud to admit i was a day one defender of this amazing album that im super happy has gotten more recognition in recent years due to its insane influence on the trajectory of rap to this day. 'rockstar made' is the perfect intro that encapsulates this punk and hyper aggressive sound perfectly and sets the tone for the rest of the album. the unpredictability factor of this album is insane with so many sounds and diversity being presented. the working on dying collective are some of the ... read more

yeah this is my favourite carti album by quite a bit (still love the self titled and wlr) and an all time personal one that has stuck with me through the years and i find myself revisiting it constantly. while the album is so tonally consistent, the diversity results in there being a song for everyone. carti is amazing on this project with so many catchy flows and probably the most iconic adlibs ever, he brings so much energy and addictiveness to these tracks with his voice basically being an ... read more

this mixtape really did set the tone and precedent for where rap would go in the future. when this first came out i hated it, i thought 'mumble' rap was trash and it had no substance. thank goodness my taste changed pretty quickly after and i ended up loving this mixtape. it still absolutely holds up and is so immersive and so much fun. everyone kills it on production providing such clean, bouncy and psychedelic beats. the whole mixtape remains tonally consistent as well which i ... read more

i feel like this EP gets slightly overlooked as whole in comparison to his other notable projects. its incredibly grimey, atmospheric and hedonistic which creates this distorted VHS horror movie kind of feel. the siren and p*rn moans are used very often to create this gritty, disturbing world where SGP's hypersexual, hyperviolent lyricism feel like a descent into madness. the opener 'B.M.W' is a perfect tone setter with that entrancing hook and sexual/sinister lyricism with the ... read more

yeah this album is an absolute masterpiece to me. i feel like everything he was going for just absolutely works for me, everything from the production, to the evil lyricism, to the unpredictability. i love everything about this album. i can completely understand how elements of the album can be considered sparse or underwhelming but i feel it all comes together perfectly. the best thing about this album is its atmosphere. its so evil, desolate, lonely and depressing. the production is so thick ... read more

this album is surprisingly one of the biggest pioneers in modern cloud rap that paved the way for the plugg type sound. this album is genuinely so weird, like so weird that i actually wrote it off as just ass initially when its actually so much more than that. just listen to 'mad' and 'dad' and you will know what im talking about. the spacey, minimalistic sound that Nine9 goes for is so cloudy and mystical that it entrances me everytime. duwaps vocals are so weird and simple ... read more

from the opening track 'wyclef jean' you just know you are in for a rollercoaster ride where every song is so unpredictable, crazy and insanely fun. this has to be one of the most groundbreaking rap albums of the 2010s that went on to define hip hop for the future. the genre fusions, intricate production and incredible performances by thug (and the features) come together to make an incredible soundscape that in my eyes represents freedom of the artist. the reggae and pop elements ... read more

such a shame that people are writing of young thug bc of the snitching because this album is a masterpiece and in retrospect a pioneer of trap and southern hip hop. thug has to be one of the most entertaining rappers ever and he is at his best on this album. from the one liners to the chaotic (and iconic) ad-libs this album is so much fun to listen to - it might be the most fun album ive ever heard. it just bleeds creativity. thug's vocal inflections and insanely versatile flows that mix ... read more

i do not understand how this isnt put it the best future album conversation (or from what ive seen it isnt). this is probably futures most atmospheric project with such mystical and out of this world production. future also utilises a lot of vocal inflections to perfectly add to the experimental production. future also mixes in a lot of rnb elements which usually dont work for me but on this album theres just something about the raspiness of his singing combined by the atmosphere that i ... read more

this is the future album that i see receiving the most love and appreciation for (in general outside of this site) in which i do believe it deserves it all, although i dont think its his best project. the atmosphere on this album is pretty psychedelic creating some really unique soundscapes. the production on tracks like 'thought it was a drought', 'i serve the base', 'blow a bag', 'groupies' and 'blood on the money' while containing hard ... read more

ive always loved this album but my most recent relisten really solidified it as being a masterpiece with some of the biggest highs ive experienced in rap as a whole. this album feels so visceral, raw and honest. i appreciate how even though its extremely nihilistic it has so many moments of future being vulnerable. he is trapped in a cycle where he wants to change and knows what he needs to change but cant bring himself to do it. while this narrative might seem stale it is so effectively told ... read more

this album frustrates me because it genuinely has some of SGP's greatest tracks on it combined with some pretty weak ones. way more good than bad though. the best thing imo about this album is the atmosphere which is thick, disturbing and makes you feel as if you are in a horror film. the samples on this project are disturbing (the moaning on basically every song) but extremely memorable and create such a unique soundscape. right out of the gate you get mystikal maze which is an incredible ... read more

aside from some inconsistency issues, this is one of the darkest, most immersive and influential rap albums of the 2010s that has become an underground classic for a reason. constant risk-taking is made with trap staples being created or perfected on the majority of tracks here. extremely diverse with some of the most creative samples ive heard (the iconic MK sound effects).
production ranges between being lofi or in your face (sometimes the volume randomly changes on the same song which is ... read more
