A Personal Review #10 - Vince Staples vs America's Dilemma
────────────────────
(First Listen Review)
When was the last time we got a rap album that discussed the current problems with American society but it actually sounds refreshing and speaks on current generational problems and not something we've been preaching about for decades? Albums like these often gets looked past until years later when their problems are so overblown to the point ... read more
A Personal Review #9 - Why did Vic stop trying
────────────────────
I seriously don't know there this version of Vic went, He was actually starving when he made this lol. After listening to this mixtape for 3 consecutive days, Innanetape was ahead of it's time and I can argue that this mixtape might be better than Acid Rap. Both of them hold up and are great listens to this day but I would definitely find myself coming back to Innanetape than ... read more
A personal review #8 - "More Life...More time to get it right." (A Longer Review)
────────────────────
I find a bunch of things crazy when it comes to More Life:
• "I have a ton of history with this project unironically"
• "This is still in my rotational playlists years after it released"
• "More Life and IYRTITL are his most consistent projects and he hasn't came close to replicating the ... read more
A personal review #7 - The Disrespect to both the Artist and the Fanbase.
────────────────────────────────────────
"Over 1000+ songs in the vault either unfinished or completed and the label still managed to put out one of the most uninteresting song lineups I've ever heard from a Juice WLRD album. I seriously don't know how we went to Legends Never Die (which is still and forever will be his best ... read more
A personal review #6 - Thank you for believing in me
────────────────────────────────────────
"This is truly one of the greatest Logic albums of all time. In terms of where I stand with Logic's catalog, I've only listened to BT1/2/3, Everybody, and No Pressure. His retirement album [No Pressure] was a great send off which truly felt like rap was heading into the era where the J.Coles and Kendrick ... read more
A personal review #5 - A hidden form misunderstood by most
────────────────────────────────────────
"17 is a very conceptual, exclusive, and unfinished album (admittedly). Many people will understand the message behind it but only a handful of people will resonate with it. This album served as X's introduction to his uncensored mind and thoughts with depression, heartbreak and revenge acting as the string ... read more
A personal review #4 - How to open space for yourself
────────────────────────────────────────
"With all of Meishi's albums, each one is made to bring it certain emotions to the listener. 'Ressentiment' is uncontrollable anger, 'melencolia i' is true freedom and 'Lust' is chaotic happiness. Each album is vastly different and incomparable to one another due to how much Meishi ... read more
A personal review #3 - Playing safe sometimes isn't the play
────────────────────────────────────────
"Cordae has always been the odd one out of the new generation of artists he blew up with. He showed up in the wrong generation where music exploded with new talent and sounds pushing the genre away from the introspective views and creativity when it came to Hip-hop and because of that, he has always been ... read more
A Personal Review #2 - How to Overhate an Album
────────────────────────────────────────
"This album is truly overhated. Similar to what Kid Cudi did with 'Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven', This was Drake's attempt at branching off into other genres. Unfortunately, the sheer amount of hate this album received is what happens when you attached yourself to the sound or specific genres of an artists ... read more
A personal review #1 - The impact of looking beyond the future
────────────────────────────────────────
"On release, this album was ahead of its time and will forever be ahead of it's time. The vast majority of listeners didn't like the album due to the lack of "bangers" on it (which makes 0 sense to me). This album was very anti-radio, anti-chart and wasn't replay heavy as his previous ... read more
