MISTER TWO FIVE - STATE OF THE ART*
95

I'm a sucker for stuff that's chill what can I say. The production is so laid back but I really liked the vocal cadences that are used. I found it corny at first but it really grew on me and now I feel like the delivery of the lyrics is the highlight of the album. Kinda crazy.

Sampha - Lahai
90

R&B album of goodness and tranquility. Reminds me of Mr. Morale kinda as in some of the songs have that kind of production and feeling to them. Also, lots of piano, and I love me some good piano.

Makoto Matsushita - First Light
75

Pretty nice chill album but these songs do kinda sound similar to eachother. There just aren't that many highlights, but it's consistently good enough to get into my playlist so yeah.

Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
90

Easily one of the best R&B albums EVER. It's insane how influential this is. I recognized so many samples while listening to this lmao so that was fun. But the production is amazing and her VOICE wow... I swear it's so captivating, and she's got bars too.

J Dilla - Donuts
70

Yeah these beats are great but at the end of the day they're just instrumentals so I can't say I liked them THAT much. Probably overrated as an album but I still enjoyed listening to the beats. J. Dilla is definently fairly rated as a producer, just wished somebody rapped over these.

XV - Zero Heroes
85

This has got to be one of the most underrated albums I've ever heard. Crazy production and the rapping sounds super inspired. Some of these songs have pretty powerful messages, and I especially love the storytelling on Pictures On My Wall.

imnotvrycreative - FOR WHAT ITS WORTH
85

This is a really unique album. Idk how I'd describe this but it's basically bubbly videogame music with some rapping on top. Makes for a really fun album experience. The songs are just a bit too similar to eachother though.

2hollis - 2
60

Even though I'm a hyperpop hater I have to admit that this is pretty good and I can definently see the vision. Treating this like videogame music definently helped because that's basically what it is, and that actually made it pretty fun.

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
95

Not and Danny Brown fan AT ALL but he goes off on this. Actually they both go off on this. Hell, even the producer went off on this. 14 tracks of straight crazy production that will have you feeling ready to run a marathon after. So much energy that my phone started getting hot.

Justin Timberlake - Justified
75

Not a huge pop fan but I liked this a lot more than I thought i would. Talk to me boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
20

The 57 year old substitute teacher told me to listen to this and that it was "the jam back in his day". So uhm... how do I tell him that this is the most boring rap album of all time?? This album just straight up yelled at me for 50 minutes over some lame drum loops. I mean most of old hip hop is boom bap but cmon bro.

Lesley Gore - I'll Cry If I Want To
80

This album had a lotta hits which surprised me because this was made in freaking 1963. I enjoyed this pretty thoroughly aside from a few boring songs. 1963 is still crazy though for how good this is wow.

Rourourourous - ひとびと
85

Just super chill Japanese music. Great for chilling... and stuff. Idk I'd make an actual review but I don't speak Japaense so sorry!

Destin Laurel - MERCY"
95

WOW this album was stupidly good. Such high energy and Laurel sounds HUNGRY in his performances. The production is so freaking good and its followed up by some crazy addictive flows. The auto tune style isn't usually one I gravitate towards but wow this is amazing. The production is definently the highlight though.

Ninajirachi - I Love My Computer
40

IF I was an EDM fan would this be good? Yes, the best album ever. Am I an EDM fan though? No...

Mac Ayres - Juicebox
80

Consistently good like all his other albums but this was the first one that I felt had some filler on it. Pretty unfortunate as well that he doesn't change his style much. Variety is important!!

Mac Ayres - Something to Feel
90

THIS is my kind of music. It's like he can see inside my head and then make the exact music I enjoy. No but seriously I love this kind of chill R&B so much I cannot get enough of it. And Mac Ayres just does it with such god-level consistency.

aaron’s book club - Doggies
85

2nd half cooked because it wasn't as sad as the first half lol. No but fr though this guy just makes such consistent albums somebody stop him.

Mac Ayres - Drive Slow
95

Possibly THE chillest album ever made. This is like if lofi met R&B and its such a nice mix of genresssss. This style really should be done more. It's so laid back, I've used this while studying multiple times and it's been great every time.

USHER - My Way
80

I mean it's Usher what did you expect. Consistently good with some pretty nice slow songs. Would recommend dancing to this with someone, which is something I can totally do btw.

"@fangrlackssense my ratings are based on my personal enjoyment of an album. I had a lot of fun listening to Iceman especially cuz it surpassed my expectations. My score might be slightly lower on a relisten though, but I found it consistently good. But, me giving Iceman an 80 has zero bearing on my rating for this, as this and Iceman are completely different lmao."

"exactly it's literally just that it's smooth. But it's REALLY smooth. It's like how the texture of a food can affect your enjoyment of it. And creamy food is generally good, and the same is true for rap. Okay maybe this food analogy wasn't the best but you get the point."
