Super underrated. Easily amongst Mach' best
Fav tracks: Midrash, Newark, Breastmilk, Egypt, Sauer suite, Russian dolls, Gnarly dude, Solo dolo, Wheaties, Kinglish, Hardwired
One of Mach's worst projects but still not horrible
Fav tracks: Nardwuar
Feels mostly like leftovers from Mach's other 2017 drops
Fav tracks: Continental breakfast
Pretty inconsistent but its still Mach and his mid is still quite good
Fav tracks: Shukran don, Rosewater
Honestly this took me by quite a surprise. I feel like Kenny finally managed to strike a great balance between the mix of genres he's been attempting on past albums. Here it sounds like he's reached a new level of polish in his sound and there's hardly any tracks here that aren't at least somewhat enjoyable. Still by no means a flawless project but atleast on the first few listens I'm thinking this is his best work thus far.
Fav tracks: Citgo, Door swangin, Junkyard ... read more
Action dropping potential rap aoty contender. Some of Baklava's best work since Well Done. Love the almost psychadelic, rock inspired production on some of the tracks here on top of the typical luxurious jazz prod you expect on a Bronson album. Really gives this a different feel to most of his other releases, especially his 2020''s albums.
Fav tracks: Lebron hennessey, Olympic vince carter, Vhs, Triceratops, Peppers, Condor, Mandem, My blue heaven, Iguana, Chutney, Simone
Much like its predecessor this doesn't particularly stand out in Jay'z catalogue, though this one significantly worse. Also wtf is that Things That You Do beat and why did anyone let that pass
Fav tracks: None
One of a handful of unremarkable stepping stone albums between Reasonable doubt and the Blueprint. Has some moments but mostly quite bland
Fav tracks: A week ago
Pretty good albeit inconsistent
Fav tracks: Intro, This cant be life, 1 900 husler, Soon youll understand
Pretty solid all around. Not Q's best solo release but has a lot of worthwhile highs.
Fav tracks: Feelin, Blue girl, Even if it is so, Make it work
Another just fine Nas project. Gets a bit boring and same-y sounding after like the first 4 tracks. Luckily Nah mean is a pretty good break in the pace of the project and is the one song here worth revisiting
Fav tracks: Nah mean
A fun bridge project between Summertime and Big Fish but doesnt really do anything to warrant coming back to it
Fav tracks: Big time

On Wither's review of J. Cole - The Fall-Off
"@PostWither I guess I can see how it may come off as lazy. I personally find it fine though given art inherently comes from places of personal experience and perspective anyway, but i understand how it may appear to be dull, especially in the case of Cole who, frankly, has a rather uninteresting writing style at times."
On Wither's review of J. Cole - The Fall-Off
"I'm genuinely curious as to why you think he's rapping about nothing here. I do find Cole's writing to be rather on the nose quite often, but I feel like he took a more mature approach on this album comparatively to much of his prior work. Also, why the negative perspective on him rapping about his own experiences? That's a common feature of a majority of so-called conscious hip hop, not like its something new, unless that in it of itself is the reason you dislike it. Great review nontheless though, even if I personally disagree."

On Phoenix_wrong's review of Ice Cube - Man Up
"@Ableist_abby honestly that explains my thoughts perfectly. West Coast hip hop artists, atleast the mainstream ones, were never able to really evolve their sound and it just leads to all their projects sounding so dull compared to other regions. Especially so considering how washed lyrically a lot of them are now, like with Cube here. Luckily there's some amazing underground or underapreciated west coast artists that still keep that side of the genre alive, atleast aside from some of the more modern big names like Kendrick or Tyler. In their cases though they've obviously completely evolved passed the typical west Coast sound."
