Cities Aviv made a better album than his previous two (“Electric Chair” and “Cafe Tom Tom”), but still I think he’s lost how to make a truly impactful album. Parts of me wish he stopped at 2022’s “Secret Waters”, because it feels like I’m watching Mays’s career mellow out into nothing instead of just disappearing like we all thought he did. My sentiment may change with age and I’m willing to accept it’s recency ... read more
what is it with British people and traveling to India and taking all their musical ideas……. waiiiiit I know why #colonizermaxxing
some bangers and some disappointing songs.. that's pretty much it tho. I feel like Denzel was expecting more of the *moment* KOTMS II made, but honestly the whole thing just kinda fell flat.
Deluxe that somehow adds MORE party vibes to THE jvb party album. Love the raw, dirty aesthetic of these tracks, which honestly sound more like an underground old mixtape you found randomly online. Love this.
Imma be so real, Dijon is the future of music. I'm calling it now, this man will be a legend at the same level of a Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson. If he keeps up this persistent quality and boundary breaking music, I'm sure he'll be there in just 30 years. This is deadass one of the best albums I've ever heard, and the only reason I'm not rating it a 100 is that I'm genuinely not sure if THIS is his peak. Only time will tell if he comes back in a few years with ... read more
my 2010s childhood goat is washed with his most creatively bankrupt and safest album yet.
Not to sound harsh, but there's nothing that makes LIMBOLAND stand out in the wider world of hip hop. Ale, I get it. You like Tyler, you like Kanye, you like Peggy. But I shouldn't be able to immediately know what song you listened to take the most specific ideas from it instead of doing your own shit. In other words, there's a lot of good ideas and good sounds on this record, but none of them are your own. You rap exactly like Kanye and Peggy, there's nothing that YOU do ... read more
I’ve never really cared about J Cole. I didn’t listen to him and I always just kinda ignored him when others talked about him. I thought, “oh, he’s fine, but there’s no way I’m missing out on much..” I was busy listening to other rappers I just assumed were better, or just as good as him, so I didn’t really care. But once I heard this album was FINALLY dropping, i said, “fuck it.” I knew I had to tap in now. In my core, I knew this was ... read more
One of the most harrowing, devastating albums I've heard come out of the experimental hip hop in a minute, which is crazy, because the last album I heard be this devastating was technically their previous record, "By The Time I Get to Phoenix". This record pulls you in, even if you're playing it in the background. If you weren't paying attention by "Can I Have You For Myself", you WILL be once "And I Dance" or "GGG" starts playing. Most ... read more
Catching up with the normies on this one.
A couple weeks ago we got a confirmation from By Storm that their highly anticipated album, “My Ghosts Go Ghost” was coming out on January 30. Around the same time, I learned that DaBaby, of all people, was dropping on the same day. So I thought it would be the FUNNIEST THING to listen to THIS album first. So I did! It’s less funny once I pressed play on the first track.
Look, I’m not saying this album is awful. ... read more
sorry J Cole, maybe I judged u too harshly.. I'm def tapping in now. This shit is crazy
It’s cool! Pharrell’s production has certainly aged better than a lot of his contemporaries, but other than cool production and Pharrell’s unique swag, it doesn’t bring that much to the table. it’s definitely not boring, it has a lot of cool songs and it keeps you entertained, but I’m not gonna pretend that this record is trying to say anything other than “Pharrell is a really cool guy,” and that’s okay! It’s okay to flex how cool you ... read more
def the most "normal" album by the sidepeices, and while that may make for a more focused experience, in the end it just ends up being pretty boring for most of its runtime
