Reinventing what was normal for indie rock to accomplish during it's strongest years, and it happens to actually sound awesome so I don't have to say, "bla bla bla influential"

Basically a lullaby, with a few moments you could rock out to. And in the end, insanely rewarding.

although surprisingly more heartfelt than expected and containing some great beats, all amerikkkan is still just boring as ever next to the rest of joey's discography

...eh.

edit (5-18-25): eh? eh? what do you mean eh? this is one of the most well put together emotional experiences from the entire year. those last three songs are some of the greatest three track runs in all albums ever conceived. this is not eh.

most overhated tyler album it's actually decent

some of the best and worst songs of the year, but ultimately not bad

can't wait for the next album

Shockingly powerful, a future classic.

Although raw, the last poets might have been the godfathers of hip-hop, and might have been politically driven and unfiltered, but musically...weak.

One of the last old school hip-hop records as well as one of the first conscious hip hop albums to ever bring me close to tears. Start to finish, things fall apart is enjoyable and brilliant.

okay aoty I actually really like lovers' leap this whole album is amazing - top five for this year perhaps

The jazziest of jazz rap, the boomest of boom bap (obviously until illmatic) Buhloone Mind State is what you need for hip hop introductions.

The Shortie No Mass features remind me of the digable planets I love their energy.

Slow to start, like a lullaby, and with each growing and eventually waning bit of speed it grows as an incredible record before it's calm ending, just like the start.

All I have to say - incredible. This record proves jazz and rock can and DO work together in the best way possible - showing and not telling.

A good album, similar to lysflath but often more quieter and a much less definitive sound. Indepdently, it's as musically sound as many albums made in it's time, and even in the present. Instruments upon instruments that each tell their separate story.

Less of a perfect album and more of a movie, I was fully prepared to call this album overrated until I heard the entire thing, even after the first few minutes.

underrated kanye is peak hip hop, and so is overrated. you get both of these on the same album, peak experimental up there with madvilliany atp, and one hell of an ending you'll never experience again.

better than kid a, fight me

idk what else to say, it's your typical banger from radiohead we get each time.

Intensely overrated I hate the black woman's voice (I forgot her name)on this project. And all that hype in Not everybody gets to go space only for them to say nobody would clean is kind of weird. corny at points, really well sounding at others, but at the end quite underwhelming.
edit, same day: also insanely repetitive, made it almost unlistenable at times.

Hip-hop's peak remains to be only in the earliest of stages, brought by boom bap's best - Nas. Lyrcisim and production meet with one of the most talented emcees, at the age of 20, to bring us Illmatic. A fully faceted album.
