North West - N0rth4evr
35

How do you think a 6-song EP made by the 12 year old nepo baby of a bipolar, absent father and an inconsistent, immature mother figure might sound?
Probably worse than N0rth4evr does, actually. It's not terrible if you consider she's 12, this is her first EP and it at least claims to be fully self-produced: it's definitely a nice effort.
If you don't though...

Yeah, if you take this EP at face value it kinda sucks. It's 6 tracks of mediocre rage production where North ... read more

Isaiah Rashad - IT'S BEEN AWFUL
90

[23/05/2026: I had definitely missed the point behind this one. Coming back to it with a more open mind allowed me to enjoy the lyricism a lot more and made me realize what Isaiah was really going for here. Incredibly touching, open and unique. It's like he's looking at his life from the outside and realizing his issues are his heaviest weights as he progresses with the album, process that peaks at ACT NORMAL, the most lyrically full song on the record. Outstanding lyricism and ... read more

Kanye West - JESUS IS KING
54

Jesus, what the fuck.

Fantano and The 405 said it better than I ever could. Kanye is too lost, confused and frankly out of place to make a Gospel record justice.
I'm sorry to who this may offend, but I HATE this album with a passion. Not because of its Christian roots, not at all. I'd rather Ye go gospel than addicted to nitrous and talking about nazism, but that'll never happen.
Right?
No, the reasons are plain and simple:

1) The writing on here is absolutely terrible. Kanye ... read more

Salmo - STUPIDO GIOCO DEL RAP 2
31

Senza ombra di dubbio la mossa peggiore dell'intero beef seconda solo alla scelta tremenda di Luché di credersi degno di rappare su un beat dei Mobb Deep...diss stupidi e scontati, base insipida, e sopratutto ipocrisia continua...si è salvato con quelle due barre buone su GAME OVER, anche perché dopo quell'ossimoro di Operazione Scampia, per Luché per me era già bella che finita.

Luchè - Estate dimmerda 2
42

Boh...ha iniziato un beef senza un motivo apparente se non fare due quattrini, perché se questo è il modo di iniziarla non avrebbe avuto modo di reggersi impiedi a prescindere. Base noiosa e ripetitiva, diss che se la giocano un po' sullo scontato...ha fatto bene a ribattere dopo DOVE VOLANO LE PAPERE perché ha giocato sulla debolezza più grande di Salmo: la sua incoerenza.

Luchè - HO PAURA DI USCIRE
56

Il beat quantomeno non è rubato, e ha qualche rima carina. Diss abbastanza validi degni di una risposta, a partire dall'attacco all'ipocrisia di Salmo, purtroppo nascosti tra varie frasi fatte. E questo è il diss migliore di Luché.

Ulteriore prova che quanto si parla di beef il rap italiano semplicemente non si regge impiedi.

Luchè - Operazione Scampia
0

Non farebbe neanche schifo come diss, per quanto sia bassa la sbarretta, ma Shook Ones Pt II non si tocca. Non puoi parlare di appropriazione culturale in una canzone diss commerciale che usa un beat che ha scritto la storia del rap.

Canzone ossimoro.

Salmo - DOVE VOLANO LE PAPERE
81

Finalmente un diss in sta beef del cazzo fatto come Dio comanda. Cover del cazzo, ma il beat è ottimo e originale, ha barre divertenti e ottime risposte a Luchè, ottimi flow e citazionismo stile classico Salmo. Due cringiate qui e lì, e molte frecciatine super generali, ma è abbastanza forte.

Salmo - GAME OVER
46

Peccato per la tremenda ipocrisia che porta Salmo a tirare in ballo morte e prigione come niente nonostante si dichiari portavoce della cultura rap in Italia...

Fermo restando che i dissing in Italia sono come le pizze a New York, ovvero poco più che tristi, scarne ed ignoranti caricature della vera natura dei beef, e che se una qualunque canzone di questa farsa fosse uscita in america avrebbero riempito sia Salmo sia Luchè di prese per il culo fino alla fine dei loro giorni, il ... read more

Blu & Exile - Time Heals Everything
86

Time Heals Everything was a pleasant surprise and a warm welcome into Blu & Exile's seemingly outstanding discography.

Having never heard anything from the duo before the release of this record, I went in fully blind, and I was met with MF DOOM/Nas-reminiscent jazzy, laid-back production from Exile, accompanied by incredible lyricism and hypnotizing flows from Blu. I found myself really enjoying this record all the way: even when Blu raps about personal and societal issues, he does so ... read more

DaBaby - POP DAT THANG (Official Remix)
77

I mean, sure, why not. The original was great, but this is a nice spin on it too. A remix was honestly mandatory with how DaBaby has been moving to promote this song specifically...just wish we had different artists on this. Glo does her thing, but she's about the only one I enjoyed.

And then DaBaby goes off for like a few seconds, only to go back to his offbeat rapping for the rest of the song.

It's aight. Just kinda meh. A remix was definitely happening, just wish it wasn't ... read more

Frank Ocean - Blonde
100

Have you ever given someone your all and still had to watch it crumble?
Have you ever lowered your standards for somebody who still did you wrong in hopes that one of you would realign to the other's standards?
Have you ever felt like nobody truly understands the things you go through, or that everybody you ever loved just kinda tolerates you instead of genuinely craving your company, or enjoys your presence and the idea of you more than your person?

If the answer to any of these ... read more

Slayyyter - WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA
58

Despite being the highest rated album from this year so far on AOTY, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA makes me feel like Slayyyter might be panning out as a one trick pony.

On paper, 14 songs of maximalistic, experimental electropop sounds like something I might enjoy. However, despite a very solid start, Slayyyter's energetic deliveries peak at YES GODDD and quickly and irreversibly dim and fall off, and the production style quickly gets super stale, to make for an incredibly anonimous listen: ... read more

Salmo - ON FIRE
100

AVE MARIA
PIENA DI RABBIA

Che bomba assoluta. Tutta la gente che caga il cazzo a Salmo dandogli del cringe o del datato non batterebbe ciglio se rappasse nella scena americana. Base azzeccatissima, testo incazzatissimo e molto riflessivo (nonché bello hype a momenti), e flow fortissimi e memorabili, come al solito. Non vedo l'ora di ascoltarmi RANCH, perché se mantiene la sbarretta così alta non escludo di cacciare un centone.

Noyz Narcos & Salmo - CVLT
73

SONO GROSSO SONO COCAINORSO (SONO COCAINORSO!!!!)

Adesso tutti gli stronzi che han dato a quest'album un voto rosso con scritta una battutina del cazzo nella recensione voglio che se siedano e me spieghino che cazzo c'è di così tremendo in quest'album.

CVLT è una collezione di canzoni horrorcore difficili da stomacare e che alle volte riprendono alcuni aspetti pop per addolcire un po' la pillola. Noyz più raffinato nei testi e Salmo nei flow, i ... read more

MACHETE - MACHETE MIXTAPE 4
51

MACHETE MIXTAPE 4 è la dimostrazione che Salmo deve tagliare il budget per sta cazzo di posse e smettere di tirar fuori dal cilindro:
- Nomi emergenti che non sanno neanche dove girarsi;
- Nomi big commerciali per fare du spicci.

Questo mixtape è una mystery box. Non sai se ti uscirà una performance assurda o penosa, o un beat sofisticato o basilare: o un qualsiasi mix delle quattro variabili.
Davvero, non voglio idolatrare. Questo è uno dei primi album rap italiani ... read more

JPEGMAFIA - babygirl

WHO CARES ABOUT ICEMAN WHEN YOU GOT A PEGGY ALBUM ON THE WAY

This sounds STRAIGHT out of his magnum opus, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, and it's stupid catchy. The lyrics are fun, the beat kicks ass, and the delivery is TOP TIER.

2026 BEST YEAR FOR RAP SINCE 2019

Drake - Scorpion
74

Uh...yeah...I like Scorpion. This might be the highest a Kendrick fan has ever rated this album, but oh well. I think Scorpion is better than WATTBA, NWTS and DLDT. I said it. I'm not trying to be performative, I was just pleasantly surprised time and time again.

For a double album that's 90 minutes long, you probably wouldn't expect mr. uncohesive can't-make-good-music-into-good-albums corny ass hitmaker DRAKE of all people to do such a good job. But what the fuck, ... read more

Tom MacDonald - FACTS
0

Yeah, I don't know what came into my head that told me to listen to this. Just wanted to hop onto the hate train.
You don't even need to stomach the terrible fascist claims to understand how out of place this fucking bum is in the music industry. Tom MacDonald is the first and only rapper trying to act tough and censoring fucking with "freaking".

This utter atrocity of a "song" feels like it's satire. And it might as well have been: just by hearing the first ... read more

Kanye West - Graduation [Streaming Version]
97

Ookayy...so it's the japenese version without Bittersweet Poetry, for whatever reason.
No changes from my original review, which still holds up to this day. What a record.
