I would like to formally apologize for all the things I’ve said about old Kanye. I have no idea why, but for the longest time I just hated all of Kanye’s music. There are multiple factors at play there, from me trying to have hot takes, to having a sour taste in my mouth due to his recent outbursts, and just never taking the time to come back to these albums. I knew a relisten of the 3 albums (TCD, Graduation and this) were long overdue. So I relistened to the 3 albums, and also ... read more

“Alfredo 2” takes the genius of “Alfredo” and doubles it. Having listened to both projects back to back, there were a few tracks on Alfredo that had me basically ascending, but for this album it was basically every other track. “Mar-a-Lago”, “Ensalada”, “Skinny Suge II” and “Gold Feet”, just to name a few. And I never thought I’d say this, but the most surprising part is the production. These are easily the best ... read more

I think this is the last thing literally anyone expected from Tyler. A dance album? Only 9 MONTHS after Chromakopia, an album with a decent amount of hardcore hip hop aspects? It is a surprise that is definitely welcome, because Tyler obviously knows what he is doing. The beats are fire, the sampling is genius as always, and each in every song is a vibe. The instrumentals are fun and punchy, taking a lot of pop rap influence, and even rnb in some places. Tyler’s singing is quite good in ... read more

Pharrell was absolutely COOKING with his production on here

I really enjoyed this album, to the surprise of absolutely nobody. Clipse featuring Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator and Nas??? With Pharrell production??? You’ve gotta be kidding. This is the rap album of all rap albums. It has a few forgettable moments, but you get exactly what you come for. Kendrick Lamar obviously goes off on here, seeing as Clipse literally left their record label just so they could keep the verse. ... read more

I’m seeing GY!BE live tomorrow, so I thought I’d catch up on some of their past works that I missed. The most obvious of the selections was this album, which has the same user score as the iconic “Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven”. Of course this album has been on my radar, but I just haven’t prioritized it enough to check it out yet. Will since I now have a reason to check it out, I figured why not. And yeah, this album for sure lives up to the hype. ... read more

I think now is the time I talk about Kamasi Washington. Now I love jazz, but I was never and still am not experienced with the genre. It didn’t take long for me to immediately be interested in the genre, because the day “Fearless Movement” came out, it immediately piqued my interest. At the time it had astronomically high scores, specifically with the track “Prologue”, which while I don’t remember exactly, I’m quite positive had a 98/100 for a day or ... read more

BOLDY JAMES STRIKES AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

2025’s most rapid fire artist is back with another project, and this one was definitely a project to get excited about. Boldy James’ collaborations with Real Bad Man have historically been very good, and with it featuring Conway the Machine and the goat of white rappers El-P, I definitely had my eye on this release. And while Boldy’s 2025 releases have been of varying levels of quality, this is DEFINITELY ... read more

Well this is certainly underrated

I’ve recently finally been able to understand just how great run the jewels is “Legend Has It is an absolute fucking banger”, but instead of checking them out further, I wanted to see what Killer Mike’s solo work had to offer. And it’s definitely safe to say I’m not disappointed. In fact, I’m a little more disappointed in how low this user score is. I mean a 73!? If we’re letting MBTDF be considered one of the ... read more

I listen to clipping.’s new album about 20 minutes before this one, and it was about as devastating of a switch as I expected. Basically that one review with thousands of likes on Y2K about hot sauce or something. But anyways, this album is fucking ass. Did I expect to like it? Absolutely not. Carti is such an annoying artist, as are the majority of his fanbase. I have been more than tired of people complaining about this not dropping, and it actually dropping might be the best part of ... read more

NEW CLIPPING. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD

I have to get a new review out, and it looks like my sweet glorious clipping. has cooked up something that I am more than happy to check out. Just by the 50 second intro I could tell this would be something special, and it didn’t take long for me to realize I was right. I think it’s safe to say that this project is the best rapping Daveed Diggs has done on a clipping. project so far. His flows here are INSANE. Daveed has never been a super fast ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 28:

For the final day of February, listen to an album that turned heads because it changed how the masses viewed an artist - this could be either for the better OR for the worse…

I’ve known about this for a LONG time, and even after hearing BAD CAMEO, this still shocked me. Switching up from trap music to psychedelic rock is something that had never been done before, and though the concept is absolutely ridiculous, Yachty showed that not ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 27:

Let’s all be smarty-pants today and listen to an Electronic album that you find to pique your interest!

This was a very interesting album. This has been on my radar for months ever since @sushidigital recommended it to me a very long time ago, so to finally get to it is very cool. And honestly, this isn’t what I was expecting at all. It was Electronic of course, but it also had a lot of orchestra aspects which I was not expecting at ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 26:

Today happens to be National Be a Good Example Day, so, put on an album that you would think to be appropriate to play for a young child.

I mean it’s Michael Jackson, what child hasn’t already heard him a million times? This album is just a fun, energetic album that I would surely show a child. Even in his starting years, Michael Jackson had already made some timeless classics. This includes songs like the title track, the iconic ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 25:

Celebrate the lives of those artists who are unfortunately no longer with us and listen to an album by an artist who has now passed away.

This took Balloonerism, an already amazing album, but turned it up to a whole other level. Posthumous albums are notoriously not that good, but with both of Mac Miller’s posthumous being highly praised, I knew I would have to check the other one out eventually. It’s safe to say I’m lucky I did, ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 24:

IT’S THE LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH!
Celebrate by listening to an EP* (because who doesn’t enjoy mini things) by any artist and any genre

Again Woodbine, it’s Monday. Anyways, even though it doesn’t live up to one of the best albums of all time made just 2 years prior, I can’t still say that I really enjoyed this. It obviously wasn’t going to with it being a 4 song EP, so I might as well just enjoy what ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 23:

Y’all… it’s the dreaded day: Listen to a genre that you don’t typically enjoy to see on a project and list it below!

Genre: Anything emo tbh

So I don’t like emo music. The vibe of it is nowhere NEAR anything enjoyable to me, and sometimes it’s just unbearable to listen to for me. A lot of times this is because of the vocals that I just find extremely annoying, and unsurprisingly, this falls right under the same ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 22:

YOU’RE NOT MY MOM!
Today, listen to a Punk project to get some excess energy out of your system!

So, I’m not really a huge fan of punk. I just don’t really like the genre as a whole, mainly because most of the time it’s just boring. And while this album is decent, it unfortunately falls under the same problem. Most of the songs just blend in with one another. There are some standouts of course such as the first track and ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 21:

It’s National Language Day! Today, listen to an album that was written in any other language BUT your mother language!

So I’m beginning to realize how good of a way this challenge is to finally get to albums that have been on my radar. Everyone on this site has probably heard of the title track for this album, with it once being one of the highest rated tracks and currently being one of the highest rated singles, and with this album ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 20:

It’s 2000’s time! Revisit the era by visiting an album that you feel embodies the Y2K aesthetic!

Fine, I’ll finally check out the album I have been avoiding for a pretty long time. Why? This type of music isn’t really isn’t my thing. As you’ll see in an upcoming prompt, I’ve never been the biggest fan of really anything emo, and while this album is decent, I still haven’t warmed up to it. I will admit ... read more

Woodbine’s February Challenge! Day 19:

Ooh, we’re in need for some Diva energy right now! Today, pick an album that will have you strutting through the day, fierce and GLAMOROUS!

Ok. So this wasn’t exactly the BEST pick for today. I should’ve probably spent a bit more time looking (because I switched out an even worst pick just a few hours before), but it is what is. This album is also pretty damn good. I’m OBVIOUSLY familiar with a few songs on here, and while ... read more
