R.I.P. to possibly the greatest R&B Artist, It's not my first listen of D'angelo but since his death id decide to return to some of his projects and it doesn't disappoint. Voodoo pushed neo-soul into new, uncharted territory, blending funk, gospel, jazz, and hip-hop into something deeply human and spiritual in a way. Voodoo feels raw, unpolished, and deliberately messy on some tracks like a live jam captured in a trance. while D’Angelo’s vocals melt in and out of ... read more
Ca$ino really captures that raw Keem energy with some of the wildest production he's jumped on yet. The way he switches from those high-pitched erratic flows to a smoother, more melodic pocket keeps the whole project feeling fresh and unpredictable. It’s a solid evolution of his sound that doesn't try too hard but still lands exactly where it needs to, I am not a Lyricist is genuinely the perfect song

76 -> 68
decided to redo my review cause it was trash but anyways, majority of why it did lower a lot than usual is mainly because i put FINE SHIT & RATHER LIE as straight 0's just cause they use AI. I just dont like the overall idea of artist beginning to utilize the use of AI to imitate art and sorta encourage artists to dilute their creativity. but overall, too much filler to make this a consistently enjoyable listen.
