columbus's second verse lowk a w crashout but this battle is probably my least favorite by far for erb. beat is probably the best part, it's big and fits the vibe that this battle should have been. I like columbus randomly leaving before it began, but lowk I should have too.

kirk's performance does not work for this battle and is very grating especially when the beat is trying to build this battle up to be a hype spectacle.

columbus is tolerable by comparison, but this ... read more

first listen so no score

lowk mislead with the marketing, thought bro was on his j cole type timing, but this is nice. some cute relaxing r&b to study to

favorite track is all of my friends, that one was highkey making me do nfr podcast levels of headbopping

this might be one of their best battles, always love angry rapping, they sound like they hate each other, and this is executed really well. beat hard asf too, especially when it builds up at the end, it feels tense and fits the vibe well

One of the biggest drop offs in quality, the DaBaby of ERB Battles some would say, and it's rough because there's a lot to love about the battle. The opening 2 verses are incredible and filled with great flows and disses, especially the ending to Bruce Jenner's verse where he hits a really cool flow on the cousin line. I think the concept of transitions was a cool idea, especially since we've seen it done immaculately on MJ vs Elvis Presley, but the second they transition ... read more

Rating Mother and it's inclusion in the album:

Mother is an incredibly amazing song, the multiple phases, the introspective lyrics, the storytelling, even when tyler's mic quality goes to shit, it works with how personal the track is, it reminds me of wilshire off if CMIYGL.. overall this song has been stuck in my head especially with how beautiful and catchy the synths are on this song.

regarding it's inclusion, it's slotted well into the album. it makes the transition ... read more

WE SO BACK

so context, I really loved her debut album, but thought throwing bows was kind of a meh project outside the first 2 tracks and a couple funny tracks like ee er through leo luv the sluts.

first thoughts (might change drastically on more listens so take with a grain of salt)

the intro is so fucking good especially the catchy asf chorus, and while some of the slower tracks aren’t up to that level, and lizzo’s feature (ignoring the moral dilemma) is disappointing ... read more

why is lil yachty dropping a 9/11 bar in big 25 💔

edit: that beastiality bar is insane from em, every time I think he back he says the most diabolical line imaginable 😭😭😭 ik what he means but that line still looks insane asf

nothing crazy, it’s a vibe, it’s chill, they aren’t bad

wish they went stupid on this, this collab has insane turn up anthem potential

but it’s not bad, like the soulja boy bar

took me months to understand why this battle doesn’t click for me, because this is something erb can easily master, a historical battle with lots of content matter

I think it comes down to the flows, the flows especially in charlemagne’s opening verse, feel like they have a life of their own, instead of working with the production

there isn't a sense of timing to the jokes as it feels like the rappers are trying to speedrun their verses

compare the flows to the battles of ... read more

I love both of these artists, JVB had my favorite album of last year, and peggy’s latest output has been great, STH is probably my 2023 AOTY

but I can’t get behind this track, I genuinely dislike this. outside of joey’s first verse, the verses are good, peggy does his thing on the track, and the beat switch during peggy’s verse goes hard as fuck

but the “WASSUP” chorus is really annoying and grating, joey’s first verse is noticeably lacking, ... read more

idk just proving that your favorite rappers are all furries, kanye, cudi, snoop dogg, kendrick, etc

also the song is a banger

edit: ngl the la la la la la arc that idk has been on is going crazy rn, he does it so catchy, also the production growing on me

idk just dropping a collection of bangers with crazy production and catchy as fuck hooks especially poke poke

stop and omg are a dip in quality but they're bangers

and holy shit denzel curry and rico nasty went off. denzel curry really on his unlocked energy, while bad news is a perfect track for rico nasty to go off on, and rico does her thing on it

can’t trust adam levine with a wfe but fuck I can trust him with making some beautiful tunes

this shit actually just peak i’m sorry, this shit is too colorful, preformances and instrumentals are too good, songs like This Love, She Will Be Loved, and Sunday Morning just make me fuckin happy, while songs like Harder To Breathe, Shiver, Through With You, and Not Coming Home hit so hard.

Secret is probably my favorite, the production is so beautiful and interesting to me, it puts me ... read more

why this shit kinda good

“my grandma just called me a mean dude” 😭😭😭

production is good but mario judah sounds like a white teenager and it doesn’t work out

bro on here singing “you my love in every wahhhh-hiii” 👋😁

peak so many amazing elements, tracks like miles trumpet and the closing interlude are beautiful while kickin are bangers

jvb rapping on the wrong bpm but this still fye and idk kills it on here

that section with the fucking “la-la-la-la” is catchy asf, literal ear candy

NEVER LET DENZEL CURRY NEAR NEWBORN BABIES 🔥🔥🔥

how tf my twin get on a track with sexyy red and lazer dim 700

not a crazy song, sexyy could have brought more energy but she’s fine on the track. the f1lthy beat is fye asf tho

for the other rappers, what the fuck is BabyChiefDoIt saying, lazer dim fits the vibe but nothing crazy, and baby kia is funny but idk his screaming is too abrasive on the beat

this mixing is god awful but bhad bhabie is going in, these bars are unhinged asf
