Great Song, one of Lil Uzi's best. But unfortunately, this song lead me to make a very real decision: I'm done listening to trap and most hip hop in 2020. All it took was reading the lyrics to this song... I can't in my own good conscience support this shit any longer. Young Thug and Playboi Carti are my only exceptions.
For the last 2 years I've been listening to trap and hip hop regularly. It's what I tend to throw on when I choose to listen to music now, when I'm driving, working out, ... read more
AZIZ just snapped. I hear some heavy Screw & Three Six influence and I love it. Can't wait for what's next.
Cool decision to switch up his sound, but I can't see this being a remedy to The Weeknd's long term inconsistencies.
Second half is alright but the first half is mostly bad.
After finally giving this album the attention and time it deserves, I have concluded it to be my favorite album of 2019 this far. Not even close.
If PANG were a museum exhibit, it would be one large room with one central piece, Caroline's vocals. While the vocal centerpiece is impressive on its own, it's beauty is accentuated by the lush production throughout the album's runtime, which would act as the lighting for the exhibit, showing the piece's curves and imperfections, but ultimately ... read more
Playful and layered, the debut album from Monstercat's Throttle is a mind-bending leap forward for the EDM genre. I was drawn into this by the neon cartoon cover, which I thought was Astro Boy at first. But after actually hitting play on the album, I realized the fantastic decision I had just made. The music does follow the traditional dance music format of bass drops, loud synths, and melodramatic vocals, but these aspects of the music are more dialed back than the EDM that tends to make me ... read more
"Yeah just loop that one more time and we're good to go man. 100 million streams here we come."
Just reminding you sinners that rating this negatively will reserve your spot in the depths of Hell next to Moloch himself. May the power of Christ compel you.
Now, with all that said I believe that God would not approve of Kanye blue balling us for a month. However, I am more than impressed with this project. Kanye is not limiting himself to gospel music, despite what he says, but is integrating both Christian themes into his lyrics and traditional gospel instrumentation with ... read more
Ever since I started listening to Danny Brown in like 2015, I've been a fan of almost everything he puts out. He hasn't made a bad album yet in my view and he is constantly challenging himself on each release. From the nostalgia and reflection of XXX to the drugged-out parade that was Atrocity Exhibition, Danny keeps things fresh.
What slightly changed my view on Danny was an appearance on the podcast The Church of What's Happening Now from 2016 or 2017. He fit right into the show. I was ... read more
All memes, dances, and cases aside, this is one of the hardest songs ever made
A polished, well thought-out indie rock album. Not something that you see all too often these days. I wasn't blown away, but I did feel like I was breathing clean air for the first time after living in Beijing for 6 months or something. Reminds me of Fang Island too.
After the first time I listened to 1992 Deluxe, I was hooked. It was a great re-imagining of the gritty New York hip hop style with a uniquely feminine perspective. Nokia proved herself as a writer and rapper, all she had to do after that was remain consistent.
A Girl Cried Red was absolutely awful and pushed me away from following Princess Nokia because it proved her to be a trendhopper (though 1992 did not give me that indication).
Now she regresses even more and moves further away from ... read more
I AINT NO BOY IN A BAND I AM MORE THAN A MAN
So Ameer is back, more than a year after his forced departure from Brockhampton. And he's still a better rapper than anyone in BH is, at least on the 2 records they've released without him. I'm happy to see he's still working and creating even after being isolated from the collaborators that he had almost exclusively worked with before. Its easy to vilify people that do something unpopular but not necessarily illegal or morally wrong. I know a ... read more
Smith has a good voice and is a solid writer, but the lack of original ideas and risks taken leads me to toss Lost & Found into the "vibe" carried Mainstream R&B dumpster.
Anyone who listened to Charli XCX's leaked project XCX World can see the ambition she had to create a cohesive album. I think Charli has been largely thought of as a singles artist for the past few years due to various label/leak/other issues, along with many of the singles she has put out (ex. Boys, 1999) being very popular on their own and did not need to be put on a project. But Charli isn't just gonna sit around and drop banger singles all the time, sometimes she's got to put a ton of ... read more
i’m going to put the same amount of effort into this review as Peggy put into this album. While the whole atmosphere of it, along with most of the production, is pretty good, everything sounds unfinished and sloppy. I always understand why artists want to change things up and pursue different sounds, but this is not for me. Despite it not really being my thing, I can see JPEGMAFIA’s progression and All My Heroes Are Cornballs still gives me very high hopes for his future ... read more
