Honestly a tad underrated. Not great, but more consistent than a lot of his other projects
Fav tracks: Draft day, The motion, Dreams money can buy, Jodeci freestyle
A staple west coast hip hop album, though not the traditional west coast sound. Doesn't get much better than this
Fav tracks: Title track, Live and let live, A name i call myself, Disseshowedo, What a way to go out, Never no more, Limitations, Anything can happen, Make your mind up, Tell me who profits, Outro, Thats when ya lost, Let em know
Fav tracks: Her, One in rotation, Doorways, Shotgun, Zone 3, No more wonderland
Relisten: 82 > 91
What an all around fantastic project. Remains consistent throughout its short run time and shows Simz' capability as an interesting rapper.
Fav tracks: Selfish, Wounds, Flowers, Sherbet sunset, Therapy, 101 fm, Pressure, Offence
Fav tracks: Woman, Two worlds apart, I love you i hate you, Little q pt 2, Standing ovation, I see you, Protect my energy, How did you get here, Miss understood
Fav tracks: Angel, Silhouette, No merci, X, Heart on fire, Sideways, Who even cares
Was pleasantly suprised with how good this album was. Coming off the battle with Joey, Vaughn delivers a really concise but solid mixtape that feels reminiscent of some of Vaughn's contemporaries, but at the same time seperates itself enough into its own identity. Eager to see where Ray goes from here because hes got a great career ahead of him if he stays at this quality.
Fav tracks: Flat shasta, 3pm at dairy, East chatt, Klown dance, Janky moral compass, Miles away from heaven
A tad inconsistent but man theres some really beautiful cuts on this. I really gotta get into more Simz if this is one of her weaker albums cuz this is great
Fav: Only, Free, Hollow, Lion, Lotus, Lonely
Such an underrated 90's classic. This is easily up there with Illmatic and some of Tribe and Pharcyde's albums in terms of quality. The only thing I can really knock this album for is how much better Resurrection is compared to the rest of the track list but that's more a testament to how phenomenal that song is.
Fav tracks: All of them except the interludes
Fav tracks: Reborn, Freee, Kids see ghosts, 4th dimension, Cudi montage, Fire
Relisten rating: 52 > 64
Production on here is super boring and generic ngl. Freddie still delivers some good bars as always though but its not enough to raise this higher than just ok at best
Fav tracks: 2 legit, Triple threat
One of Krit's best
Fav tracks: Boobie miles, 1986, Temptation, Insomnia, Package store, Title track, Me and my old school, The alarm, Red eye
One of the best mixtapes Ive heard
Fav tracks: Glass house, Return of forever, Children of the world, They got us, No wheaties, Something, Neva go back, 2000 and beyond, Good enough, Country shit, As small as a giant
Quite underwhelming unfortunately comparatively to some of his other projects
Fav tracks: Life
Fav tracks: Cool 2 be southern, Money on the floor, Porchlight
not great, but theres a few smooth tracks on here
Fav tracks: Show u right, Rhode clean, All the time
This is honestly a super underrated project. Its definitely not even close to the quality of 4eva is a mighty long time, which is probably why it gets so much flack, but there's still a lot of good tracks on here even though its also muddled with a bit of slop trap songs.
Fav tracks: Energy, Krit here, Make it easy, Mississippi, Learned from texas, Family matters

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."
