As if my team missing the world cup wasn't bad enough

I haven't listened to much J Cole just in general but I heard about the hype this album had (and after Cole mentioned Lupe Fiasco in that one interview). Goddammit I see the hype. I prefer DISC39 over DISC29, the performances feel "smoother" if that makes sense, and 39 Intro... my god. Sure this album is way longer then I'd like but honestly if you're even just a casual hip hop fan, I'd consider this worth a listen.
Best Song: 39 Intro

Well that run krit had was fun. His first 3 studio albums were excellent work out of krit, especially Cadillactica (Lupe Fiasco my beloved) and 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time. My expectations were really high and the first 3 tracks here were bops (not including the interludes) then it just gradually started getting more and more shit, besides Believe & Blue Flame Ballet both being nice bounce backs and pretty good songs, this album closed out in such a shit way. K.R.I.T. Iz Here is a generic ... read more
I knew what I was getting myself into and yet I'm still surprised. π
And they say modern hip-hop is dead. ITS is another display of Aesop Rock's creativity and the production is unique which isn't a bad thing. Great listen in a year where albums were mid.
Best Song: Black Snow
Worst Song: 100 ft Tall
Slept On: Pigeonometery
Best Feature: billy woods (Living Curfew)
Simple, yet consistent. Its a good listen, surprised to see aes drop twice in one year tho shit I ain't complaining.
Best Song: Potato Leek Soup
Worst Song: Call Home
Slept On: Spin To Win
I'm slowly realizing that the Lice is get worse with each release (besides Season 4 which i thought was a step up) but its a steady decline so I won't whine about it too much. Pizza and Burgers is hilarious btw
Best Song: Pizza and Burgers
Worst Song: Yoohoo
Its better and worse than the first, I felt the production was a bit of a step down, but I did enjoy aesop & sandman's performances more here, still worth a listen.
Best Song: Stop The Bleeding
Worst Song: Zilch
The first ever Lice EP has aged like fine wine. Aesop continues to prove how he can rap about really anything, Sandman contributions are great and the production is amazing
Best Song: So Strange Here
Worst Song: Get A Dog - Fort Minor Remix
Slept On: Vertigo
I actually thought he made longer versions with an extra verse or something (my biggest issue was with how many of the songs were too short). I was dissapointed.
I just noticed that its called Miami Lice and they're Lice on the cover.
This is worth a listen, its fun. Always enjoy it when Aes and Sandman collab
Best Song: The Burgers
Worst Song: Uh-Oh
Slept On: Homework
It did feel like krit fell off for a while didn't it? His run from 2010-2017 which included his best album Cadillactica & the masterpiece known as 4eva Is a Mighty Longtime, then K.R.I.T. Iz Here came out and it was ass and since then the quality has just... fallen off. Now we're here with Digital Roses Don't Die and well its better then anything he's released but its just... boring really. Now I do love how instead of the generic feel on K.R.I.T. Iz Here, he tried a ... read more
