he stopped making jpegmafia music and started making jpegmafia *type* music. this album is an identity crisis.
it seems like jpegmafia saw people say that he lost his identity and just wanted to be kanye on his last album and decided to double down in classic petty jpegmafia fashion. this sounds less like a jpegmafia album and more like the album of an upcoming artist who wants to be like (prime) jpegmafia but lacks the creativity to replicate it, which might just be what it is at ... read more

holy frontloaded.. when i heard "new JID album" i was pretty excited considering its JID, but this is far from where i set my expectations unfortunately. this album is extremely frontloaded imo which made it a reaaal drag to get through, especially with a whole 4 track run of misses starting from sk8.
i understand what he wanted to do with the sing-y songs but it just really didnt hit or connect with me, and instead it left me wishing for each song to be the last miss on ... read more

i didnt have much hope for this album since i found the singles i listened to quite underwhelming, but given the insane score on this album (94 as of right now) i felt like giving it a chance. however, my initial expectations pretty much lined up with how i felt about this project in the end.
a very large portion of this album felt like it was building up to something, i dont mean in terms of a drop or increase of intensity obviously, but rather i was just waiting for something ... read more

i honestly highly recommend yayu to anyone looking for good underground abstract/(somewhat) experimental hh. hes somehow constantly putting out music with none of it being lazy or underwhelming to me, every project sounds like its filled with creative inspiration and passion and this is naturally the same. annoying how spotify calls his music "anime rap" despite nothing in his discography reflects this.
his rapping and writing has always been super cool to me, and ... read more

unfortunately im still only good at talking about music i dislike but, it gives me an excuse to write a review so fuckit
naturally everything from my original album review applies here, however ill weigh my opinions on the new tracks over the old ones since thats the main takeaway from this project.
with that said... nothing really changes except hes more annoying now i guess? he also seems to be trying harder to make his production sound otherworldly and eccentric on a few of ... read more

its hard to tell if hes trying something new or just not really trying on this one which makes it hard for me to understand how to think about this album but ill just try to ignore that factor.
in that case, its solid. its nothing outstanding in his discography but its not a bad listen by any means. however it is very frontlogged to me. the first 6 tracks were pretty solid and gave me an idea of what to expect for the rest of the album, but it just took a nosedive in quality past ... read more

ive been excitedly waiting for this album since the first single dropped as i expected Phil to revisit the "The Glow, Pt. 2" sound based on the singles i heard, and it seems i was right to an extent. the thing i did not expect was for him to build onto that sound even more by playing with sounds he hasnt done much of before, or experimenting with and changing sounds he already uses.
as is expected from Phil, the tracks on this album weave together perfectly into the full ... read more

uhh i mean my expectations weren't very high to begin with since i thought the singles were pretty good at best but unfortunately this still did hit a little below my expectations.
as a whole i feel like this album is really messy with very different sounds plastered everywhere which got me very lost a lot of the time, for example going from sticky to take your mask of is like whiplash as theyre just antonymous and of a completely different sound profile to one another, or the ... read more

i went into this with generally high expectations all things considered, peggy has undeniably lost most of his appeal as of recently due to his shenanigans. but even so, i thought abt how a year ago i considered him my favourite producer, so i expected this album to still retain the instrumentals and energy i enjoyed from him, but it doesnt even have that.
honestly, most of the instrumentals on this album are pretty terrible. 'it's dark and hell is hot' and ... read more

underwhelming as expected
some good beats, i fw the beat on bussit pretty heavy and the first 40 seconds of rapping is pretty good to, and there are some other good instrumental moments thru the album but man these guys suck at rapping to the point where it doesn't matter if the beats are good
like in terms of vocal presence and energy they have that somewhat down, but its held back by their shitty delivery, flows, and lyrics.. and im aware that the music they make isnt meant ... read more
the 2 month delay was totally worth it!
