Dont really understand the dissapointment with this one at all. Same vibes as all of Mick's other work, great verses from him as always, and earthgang delivered a solid feature. Sure it isnt his best project and its pretty short, but other than that there isnt much to complain about tbh
Fav tracks: All but same ol
Solid project but definitely Zel's worst. Still decent though all things considered
Fav tracks: Wish, Speedboat, Zuu
Blew my already high expectations away. Saba really is one of the most consistent artist out there
Fav tracks: Everything minus the interludes
Fav tracks: Get a hold, Crew, Stressed out, Word play, The hop, Mind power, The jam, 1nce again
Suprisingly a pretty great album despite how late into Rakim's career this is. Definitely wish there was more of Rakim himself on the album but a majority of the features are pretty good so its not too big a deal
Fav tracks: Love is the message, Now is the time, International, Sign of se7en
Wow i wish i had gotten to this album earlier. Might be an all time favorite for me
Fav tracks: All of them except cheatin
Fav tracks: Buggin out, Rap promoter, Verses from the abstract, Show business, Infamous date rape, Jazz, Scenario, Check the rhime, Vibes and stuff, Excursions, Butter
Massively underrated. Just as good as Below The Heavens, even if a bit of a change in sound
Fav tracks: The only one, A man, More out of life, O heaven, Maybe one day, Mask your soul, Good morning neighbor, Dont be jelly, I am jean, Ease your mind, Cent from heaven, Berries and juice, The great escape, Growing pains
Fav tracks: The narrow path, The world is, Soul amazin, In rememberance of me, Blu collar workers, Dancing in the rain, No greater love, Show me the good life, Cold hearted, Simply amazin, Juice n dranks, First things first, I am
Relisten: 59 > 77
A lot better than i remember on relisten ngl. Still nowhere at the level of his previous albums, and definitely not on the level of what he was about to drop after, but still pretty solid
Fav tracks: I am music, Come close, Aquarius, The hustle, Between me you and liberation
Fav tracks: Luchini, Coolie high, Sparkle, Black connection, Rockin it, Black nostaljack, Nicky barnes, Swing, Killin em softly, B side to hollywood, Say word, League
Dated but still amazing
Fav tracks: Put it on, No ends no skinz, 8 iz enuff, Street stuck, Mvp, All black, Title track, Fed up with the bullshit, I dont understand it, Danger zone, Da graveyard, Let em have it L
An essential boom bap record
Fav tracks: Im not a player, You came up, Beware, Super lyrical, The dream shatterer, You aint a killer, Caribbean connection, Glamour life, Twinz, Boomerang, Tres leches, Fast money, Parental discretion

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."
