Jay-Z's debut never has a dull moment and has aged like a fine wine. the confidence is infectious and the beats will become ear worms for weeks.
at times American gangster sacrifices song quality for cinematic value which is great on a first listen but drags on further relistens.
Too peak to even describe, lush instrumentals and infectious choruses combine to make a perfect album experience.
A drop in quality compared to Rocky's discography while still providing a decent crop of tracks
My favourite rocky project, the mix of genres and ideas converge beautifully to create a cohesive and consistent track list.
Jcole finds his personality and message while spitting numerous memorable verses
Jcole attempts to find his sound and musical identity to mixed results
Great moments but lacks as a project with many of jcoles worst ever songs
Peak jcole rapping and beat selection while the songs still contain deep messages
A perfect mix between hard hitting bangers and low-key introspective songs only with a few drawbacks
There is a 50/50 chance the songs are amazing or filler. Feels like a lot of the features were forced for radio potential.
Didn't expect to like this as much as I did, although it can drag in portions
Great debut from ghost mountain showing his strengths and differences from the rest of haunted mound
Solid release with a lot of memorable tracks which change the standard sematary style
