billy woods is such a creative lyricist and coupled with the great production of Kenny Segal makes for one of the best albums of last year and probably the decade, the E L U C I D verse on Baby Steps was really disappointing though, one of the few things keeping the project from a 10.
Best Songs: Soft Landing, Year Zero, FaceTime, Babylon By Bus, Rapper Weed, The Layover
Worst Songs: Baby Steps, Agriculture
I don't remember where I heard about this EP but I just listened to it and it's pretty good, the ambiance is nice and while it's not something I'd routinely listen to, it's great as background music and something I could occasionally play when in the mood.
Best Songs: Roughly Torn, Weight Heavy
Worst Songs: 707909
THE KANYE RETROSPECTIVE #3
Oscar's third album is one of Romania's most impressive modern albums. The most heartbreaking thing about it is how it all goes well until we reach the last 2 songs and it all goes crashing down, "Droguri sau Vise II" and "Mai Mult Decat Un Album" are some of Oscar's worst songs ever and after the genuinely amazing project before it hurts trying to do a full listen.
Now the question you might be asking is, why is this apart of The Kanye ... read more
To say this album outshines his debut Capitanu is actually not that true. I'd rather not listen to either of them but between the two, I'd actually rather take Capitanu. Tulbure is an incredibly boring album, the features being rays of light through the clouds but even then, some of the guests are just as bad as Tussin is, especially Verty, FLORIS and Ian, these 3 ruin the vibe of the songs they're on and it's most depressing on "Boss" since before FLORIS' audio homicide its actually ... read more
Stefan Costea's only weakness is he's too good and expectations are too high so when he fucks up just a little, it's much more noticeable, oh and also he is THE single best artist in romania right now.
Best Songs: plumb, VVS, PT. 2, saptamana grea, FOREVA, SUMMERTIME, TIMBALAND DRUMZ
Worst Songs: Mrs. So Fly, Blue, 8iulie Freestyle
traian is easily one of the most entertaining and creative artists out right now but "EXPERIMENT" is everything I hate about him, mostly his overly long albums.
Best songs: CUSCA, TRENDSETTER, MIT
Worst Songs: YAMATE, LACRIMA, ENERGIE, 3D, GLE
While the album does have the advantage that it's short, outside of the Stef Costea accompanied "BANI GHEATA LICHIZI" there isn't anything to revisit.
Best Songs: BANI GHEATA LICHIZI, VDFN maybe
Worst Songs: NOROI, INTERLUDE, 100%
Nicknamed by Twitter as "Auntie album", "Auntie Diaries" manages to somehow be to me the least memorable moment from the album. Songs like "Father Time", "Mother I Sober", "The Heart Part 5" and "Mirror" manage to break my heart and build it up again with such portrayal of mastery from Kendrick emphasized by everyone's expectations of a TPAB 2, especially after the 2020 George Floyd protests but Kendrick deciding to finally focus on ... read more
THE KANYE RETROSPECTIVE #2
Playboi Carti's second studio album is his most decisive to me and the majority of his fans, most calling it his best, a masterpiece etc.
To me, "Whole Lotta Red V1" would've been the perfect album everyone says this is but with as many misses as this album has I just can't see it. "Go2DaMoon" is the first example with Kanye having a really forgettable verse and the beat in itself being one of the worst on the album. M3tamorphosis is good but it ... read more
"Vultures 1" was incredible on first listen, one of my favorite Kanye albums, then the songs I called my favorites became less and less listenable to the point where I now hate most of them.
The potential this album had was insane, songs like BURN and FUK SUMN prove that and if Kanye didn't find that one sample so funny, BACK TO ME would've been one of the best songs of the year. Kanye is to me the main issue with the album and also the reason why Ty isn't on his A-Game ... read more
I can't believe there's a song called ohio and it has Freddie Gibbs' bald ass on it, the internet is truly a fucked up place to be right now
Best Songs: Thank God 4 Me, Yeern 101, oHio, Lost Times
Worst Songs: Cooties, Nunu, Time killers
If you only listen to this album then yeah, Parazitii is a good group, but once you start diving into their discography and see that every album and song is practically the same, the more modern and polished sound of "Arma Secreta" loses most of it's charm and becomes the best of a bad thing.
Best Songs: Parc-as fute ceva, Antimilitie, Sa nu ma iubesti
Worst Songs: Hashthug Rezist, Intro, Lacrimi de ceara
Flou Rege is the single most underrated artist in Romania, this project is great and the way Flou rides over al*bu's beats is impeccable, can't wait for his return album. One thing I would've preferred would've been if Flou's flow changed a little more throughout the project because I know what to expect from every song, the songs are still good but it's nothing all that new.
Best Songs: Hip hop, Eu si Muzica, Centimetru, Obutrez
Worst Songs: Mike nebunul, outro
My introduction to the subgenre of "underground romanian rap" or shorter RoRep. If you're a fan of RoTrap and you haven't heard anything from RoRep, check this album out. Dragonu's one of my favorite artists ever, his lyricism and especially his rhyme-schemes are insane and even if I don't get more than half of the drug lines the lines that I do get hit more than any Oscar or Amuly lines.
Best Songs: The Sound Of Underground Was Found, Intro, Hardcore, Aloha, Dacheeba
Worst Songs: ... read more
Sabian is a decent artist which, as his self-titled album proved to me, has major potential to become better if he switches from the basic trap sound he currently seems to love. The Kev and Dice features we're nice.
Best Songs: Huh? Ce? N-aud, preamultebenzi, LOVE (interlude)
Worst Songs: Fiorii, U U, Dans, Stiu ca si tu vrei
An album which to me feels empty, nothing about it is special and it introduced what is probably the worst Ian style of the slurry, unintelligible Ian which led to a butterfly effect that gave us "McSundae"
Best Songs: Urgente, VVS, Oare
Worst Songs: Tiki Taka, Skurtcircuit, Waka Waka, Salbatic, Clapa, Lumea Asta
After listening to his newest album "BEAST MODE" i got hit by nostalgia after "Timeout" played and I relistened to this modern trap masterpiece. Outside of a few questionable bars, mostly from Azteca, this album is amazing, the atmosphere is something no album in the last few years has managed to have and for now, this is the only reason why Ian is still accepted in the goat conversation for RoTrap.
Best Songs: Teancuri, Placebo, Palmat, Scuze Mama, 60 de Zile II
Worst ... read more
JESUS WHAT HAPPENED??????? This new Ian album sounds most of the time like shit and the other time like... shit.
oh and quick question... WHO THE FUCK IS VERTY
Best Songs: Lunetist, Oh My, N.C.S.M.
Worst Songs: McSundae, Supernanny, 4, Blestem, Selgros
