Why is this not on streaming man. Such a phenomenal project. Local files is the way to go I guess
Fav tracks: All of them
A great display of lyricism as always with Rome
Fav tracks: Hell backwards, Clutchin, Stunna, Fastactionvenom, Heart break hotel, Procall
Not the biggest fan of Muggs' production style but he works fairly well with Rome here
Fav tracks: The manuscript, Zig zag zig, Horn and halo, Fuck you know about me
Pretty great Rome release, though some of Daringer's production drags a bit
Fav tracks: Starbvxkz, Sage, Cadillac smoke, Weight of the world, Heavy traffic
God this man just flows effortlessly. Gotta love the Conductor prod too
Fav tracks: Andre agassi, Runny nose, Ricky bobby, Blood in his boogers, Rule 4080, Died 1000 times, Heartbreaker, Connies revenge, Electric slide, Resource room
Some great standouts but a tad bit messy at times.
Fav tracks: Spelling, Old magic, Sardonyx, Impasse, Mangosteen, Betamax
A great solo release from Elucid. Up there with some of the Armand Hammer stuff in quality
Fav tracks: The world is dog, Instant transfer, Ikebana, In the shadow of if, Voice 2 skull
Not Boldy's most outstanding project but once again he shows his consistency.
Fav tracks: Pint of purple, Champagne rolls, The dealers cut
First time listening to a solo Elucid project despite listening to most of Armand Hammers stuff and I came out of this enjoying most of what it had to offer.
Fav tracks: Cantata, Make me wise, Equiano, Fainting goats, Alive herbals, Hands n feet
A return to form for Aviv as far as album releases go. Not that his past two were bad but just not on the quality of stuff like Secret waters. This isn't quite there either but it's a much better step back to that quality.
Fav tracks: Elan vital, Blkcardprince, Tribeca, Closing door, Even colder spring pt 1
Griselda releases seldom miss. Rome's flows are crazy here
Fav tracks: In too deep, Ugly balenciagas, Long story short, Fashion rebel, Big steppa, Soulja boy, Destiny child, Blow 4 blow, 1k ecstasy, Armed and dangerous, Cry champagne, Non factor, Serving, Reversible
A bit too many interludes but the actual tracks are fantastic
Fav tracks: True and livin, Gameplan, Speak ya peace, Food for thought, Hip 2 da game, No gimmicks,
Another solid 90's boom bap release. Its no Illmatic sure but a good listen nontheless
Fav tracks: Gimme yours, Ho happy jackie, Rather unique
Relisten: 59 > 79
Some of the production here grew on me upon relistens. Lacking a bit in standout tracks but its atleast fairly consistently good, though I wanted this to be better than it was.
Fav tracks Rain dance, Tracey morgan vomit, Good for you, Melo
A pretty good release following a dissapointing Alc collab tape
Fav tracks: Goyard god, Tapeworm, On the run
Alc kind of misses here with the production to my surprise. Some of these sound like throwaways
Fav tracks: Zig zag zig
A great release in Marci's discog
Fav tracks: The horses mouth, Amethyst, Fabio, Consigliere
Basically the start of drumless hip hop. While I can't say the production is the among the best Ive heard, Roc's rapping makes up for it in this case
Fav tracks: Tek to a mack, Not told, 76, The man, Sweet nothings, Thread count, Two zips, 20 guns, Emeralds

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."
