Holy fucking peak.
Is this the most versatile rap album of all time outside of ta few of the ending songs? Absolutely not. Does it mainly consist of trunks, women, grills, and chains? Yes.
Does it go absolutely stupid and hard as hell?
Hell fucking yes
Absolute classic trap project, and one of the most influential of the sub genre. So many iconic trap bangers came from this album, and songs like Stay Fly took the hip hop world by storm back when this thing came out. I absolutely adore the chemistry and energy on this album, helped out by the timeless beats. One of the best 2000’s albums to bump in the car
The epitome of grief and harrowing depression comes to a head on Navy Blues newest album, one of the best additions to one of the best current hip hop discographies. Passionate, heartfelt, and commanding, this album will warm the hearts of anyone who will give it a chance and provide a sense of relatability that not many other projects can
This is a huge swerve for Vince in terms of his sound, a complete 180 from the haunting and depressing sounds explored on Dark Times. This album is a homage to the political hip hop of the 90’s, exploring today’s political issues with a passion and an anger that we don’t usually see in modern hip hop. All of the rock elements work really well in Vince’s favor on this album, and it makes for a very compelling and fulfilling runtime that offers a lot of good stuff to dig ... read more
I’m sure this whole website sounds like a broken record about posthumous albums, with very good reason for it
Another step down from Latto. The songs sound like there’s less and less personality in them, and more just corporate ratchet music. The bright spots about Sugar Honey Ice Tea were the more lyrical cuts near the end of that album, and that seems to have been cut out completely. It’s a bore to get through overall, and very bland
The bright synths and pop rap elements don’t complement Cubes gritty storytelling at all compared to his g funk and boom bap classics. It feels off a lot of the time, and his apparent lack of good lyricism on half of these songs proves to be this albums detriment
This album didn’t really land with me. It was a big change in style and structure from Chamillionaire, with a larger focus on chasing hits and pop rap. It works on a few songs here, but the solid storytelling and gangsta beats he was known best for are replaced for lazy lyrics and painful hooks over traditional synth filled pop rap pieces of production. It’s a big let down, and part of the reason why his quality took a large dip
6LACKs best project in years comes through with full force. Amazing writing, some truly somber and emotional moments throughout, and a beautiful overarching message about sorrow and forgiveness gives us a very nice album. An amazing comeback to a relatively underrated artist
IG reels are gonna have a field day with The 1st Amendment…
I can’t help but feel disappointed with this record a little bit. I enjoy experimental hip hop a good bit, but I feel like there’s a fine line between experimental and straight up noise pollution. Peggy goes the line pretty often on this album, with horribly mixed drums and synths on several of the songs. He makes some bangers here, sure, but for an “experimental record,” he doesn’t switch up his ... read more
People see Chamillionaire as a 1 hit wonder with ridin, and I initially did as well. When I decided to check out the whole album that the single was on, I am more than impressed. I’m honestly shocked that he wasn’t bigger than he was, because besides getting some big features on here, he shows that’s he’s a really versatile hit maker and dope storyteller. He has a very 50 cent-esque vibe to his lyricism and his own sense of flow and performance, and his personality ... read more
Very underrated album from the G Unit rapper. I was intrigued by this album after hearing Get Buck, which is an absolute banger of a song. The rest of this album followed up that initial impression fairly well, except the slower, more melodic cuts. Those aren’t in Bucks speciality. His speciality is those dirtier, grimier, more hard hitting southern trap songs that go hard to this day
2026 is something special. Not only do we get fantastic music all around, but we get a LUCKI album that’s not complete dog shit for the first time in years. Granted it’s still not anything crazy, and could benefit from a shorter, more consistent runtime, but it feels like he’s starting to inch back to his roots in cloud rap. He just needs to drop the overly sleepy performances and he’s got a comeback in the palm of his hand
Kenny Mason finally reaches his truest genre blending potential on BULLDAWG, blending conscious hip hop, rock, pop, and cloud rap on a project that has everything to offer that a modern experimental hip hop fan could want. Fantastic project that adds to a fantastic year for music
Drake really just went 11/43 over the course of three albums. This boring, snoozy, obnoxious drugged out shit fest of an album’s only major redeeming quality was that it was over in 36 minutes, so I didn’t have to endure its agony as much as I did with Iceman and that fuckpile Maid Of Honour. I say this time and time again, quality beats quantity, and this is the biggest proof of it. 43 songs in one night is such a fucking bad idea that I don’t even know how it made it out the ... read more
I would say I’m speechless, but that would be like Billie Eilish saying “idgaf” then going on some bs rant on why she gives a fuck.
In fact I’m quite the opposite of speechless. It’s honestly impressive to me that Drake made an album this fucking dogshit. The beef did irreparable damage to this man. This albums sound makes Honestly Nevermind sound like a masterpiece, which was already a bad album to begin with. Every aspect of drakes music that I think is ... read more
Listen, I didn’t have high hopes for this in the first place, but the first half of the album was passable, with some very good songs mixed in with some mediocre ones. Then, just like For All The Dogs, it drops off really hard in the second half. Drakes pen game is just sad and honestly laughable without ghostwriters. The production on this album is very good, I’ll give it that. But even the lyrical Drake tracks here don’t have enough musical substance to pull me out of my ... read more
T.I. had one of the most underrated peaks in hip hop, further solidified by this underrated gem in his catalogue. The emphasis on pop rap worked out well for him here, further influencing his eventual transition into the sounds explored on his classic project Paper Trail. This album is a great blueprint for success he would have later on in this new sound, and it’s worth many listens
This might just end up being the best year of the decade so far for hip hop at this rate. Action Bronson has had one of the most wildly underrated careers in hip hop over the last decade and a half, and his quality is quietly staying extremely high, as he has now put out one of his best projects. This is on the same level as Mr Wonderful and JSBTH, if not even better. This is the perfect representation of who Bronson is, what his music is, and who he is as an artist. Just incredible music with ... read more
Jay Z just keeps putting out classics on classics. This album is cinematic, well constructed, and very concise and consistent(holy alliteration). Jay sounds so motivated on this album, and it’s a really fucking good project from him, and it simply adds on to one of the best discographies in all of hip hop
