Pretty good, safe, and overall pleasant debut album from The Beatles.

Crayola Circles is an album that can contain some absolute hard hitting tracks with 10/10 production. On the other hand, it also contains some forgettable ones and repetitive moments. Overall, I think the positives outweigh the negatives slightly.
Fav: Saltwater Tantrums
Worst: Cold Day In Hell
Had a lot more fun moments than I expected. Jay Worthy and T.F normally make great songs together, so it’s no surprise they would come out with a good collab album. The production can feel out of place from time to time, but the rapping does hit at times.
Fav: Left & Right
Worst: Party
T.F is a great rapper, but I never realized how mid his early career was until now. It does have a handful of great and memorable tracks here, but there are some mid and forgettable ones too. It isn’t great when a 10 song album has forgettable tracks, but also there are some underrated gems so it doesn’t affect the listening experience too much. Overall, Skanless Summer finds itself in between the range of good and mid, with some bangers and some mid tracks varied throughout a ... read more
Wtf was he thinking here? Some of the songwriting is actual d4vd levels of creepy. If you don’t believe me, then listen to Kidnapped and then you’ll understand what I’m saying. The production here also isn’t that great, which is something that most other Ginuwine albums got right. It’s just a hard carry from his choruses and the song Batteries being a banger.
Fav: Batteries

W Skyzoo feature, but the rest is just the most bland Ginuwine experience you can possibly get.

BALITO’S WAY is a showcase of BA PACE having good lyrical abilities, but doesn’t always pair well with the production. The MF DOOM inspiration is really visible here, he even mentions how MM.. FOOD changed his life. This is cool and all, but also gives anew perspective on how he’s just trying to sound like Mr. Fantastik the entire album, and doesn’t do the worst job of doing it but far from the best. Overall, BALITO’S WAY ... read more
Cloud Rap 11/100
Thank you IGETDDT OUT NOW for the recommendation!
This is easily kxlldev’s greatest work yet. He expands his sound from just rage to both rage and cloud rap, and his rapping really compliments the production well. Worth listening to just for the last track, it really blew me away.

Back to the basic, with an emphasis on basic cuz goddamn this album is bland as hell.

This is when Ginuwine started to fall off with his albums. The hit here instead of being one of his classics is just a solid track, and the only other standouts contain rap features that I’m biased towards and a track that R. Kelly ruins. Also, there are a handful of tracks that are just awful. Get Ready was NOT a great start to the album, not even Snoop Dogg could save it. Sex is exactly how it sounds, a song that talks about sex and has a girl moaning in the background. How could you ... read more
AZ with the comeback, love to see it. Despite the last installment where features stole the show, AZ goes all out and makes you feel as if you were back in the late 90s or early 2000s. The only features here that I care to talk about are Jadakiss and Nas. Jadakiss was mid, wasn’t surprised because he’s far past his prime. Nas was disappointing, idk how he went from such a legendary feature run last year to just 1 mid one (so far) this year. I still think that the production and ... read more
Overhated af, this is AZ’s comeback album after being on a streak of mid albums. Has last good album was released 15 years before this one, so it’s fair to understand why he tried so hard here. The main problem of this album is that AZ doesn’t switch up any of his style. It makes the songs more repetitive. I get that, but I didn’t find this album to be as repetitive as others said. The features did stand out a lot though, especially Wayne and Conway on Ritual. Ritual in ... read more
A ton of overhated tracks on here. How could someone listen to something so emotional with amazing vocals like Two Reasons I Cry and think that it’s mid and bad? Just like most Ginuwine albums, this one also has that one hit on it that draws people in back then to buy the whole CD just to listen to that one single. Of course it’s the best track and there is a lot of bloat, but there are a ton of tracks slept on here. I previously mentioned how Two Reasons I Cry is amazing, but ... read more
Easily Ginuwine’s best album. It does also have that one hit song that people only listen to the album for, being So Anxious, but the rest are slept on severely. The tracklist is a little bloated, yes, but Ginuwine’s vocals pair so well with Timbaland’s production that I don’t really mind the bloat. The lyrics are also a step up from his debut album. It’s overall a really solid R&B album that proves the One Hit Wonder depiction of Ginuwine wrong.

Cloud Rap 9/100
He’s oozing with potential. I’m excited to see what he makes in the future. The project does get repetitive with the rage and cloud rap style of sound, but there are songs off here that scream “YOU NEED TO BUMP ME IN THE WHIP”.

Thank you Cola Cartel for the recommendation!
Ik that this is mostly dance pop but I’m running out of Cloud Rap albums already. This album answers my question of “What if Michael Jackson and Childish Gambino combined into one to make a pretty good and fun dance pop album?” I’ve been wondering this for a while, so I’m glad to know what the answer is.
