Just completed Black Thought VS. NLE Choppa Wednesday S17A3 Narco Choppa (2019) By Icy Narco & NLE Choppa

Ronny Killed: The beat is super distorted.I could really distinguish choppa if he was on here. Honestly not bad.
Redrum: Ok this one for sure has Choppa. His flow gets pretty repetitive. Pimple line was gross. Lyrics are super surface level.
Snowman: Homie really said “paying for them nails, now I’m nutting on those toes” 💀. Icy sounds so whiney on here. Beat is a ... read more

Henri Pousseur & Michel Butor - Paysages planétaires
NR

Super unique and unlike anything I've heard before.
I do plan on listening again paying more attention.

Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces of a Man

Always enjoyed this album but goddamn did it go hard this time.

Black Thought - Streams of Thought, Vol. 1
77

Just completed Black Thought VS. NLE Choppa Wednesday S17A2 Streams of Thought, Vol. 1 (2018) by Black Thought

Twofifteen: The vocal sample is so catchy. He destroyed this beat and did not let the track breathe for a second. There wasn’t any chorus, the whole thing was one big crazy verse. Fire opener

9th vs. Thought: Loved the horn on the beat. Great lyricism and amazing flow. Great song.

Dostoyevsky The lack of choruses combined with the ok beat kinda left this one a little dry ... read more

Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad And Garrett Saracho - Jazz Is Dead 015: Garrett Saracho
NR

Just completed Jazz is Dead Tuesday s14a14 Garrett Saracho JID015 (2022)

Love how dynamic and fun the three starting tracks are, but I’m not really too focused on Saracho’s piano even though this album was named after him.

The Gardens: Absolute banging ass track. Love the percussion and the piano really sticks out on this one.

El Cambio Es Necesario: Top 3 track.

Probably one of my favorite jazz is deads but I wasn’t paying enough attention to rate.

NLE Choppa - No Love The Takeover
32

Just completed Black Thought VS. NLE Choppa Wednesday S17A1 No Love The Takeover (2018) by NLE Choppa

Humming in the Rain: I love how he says hmmm. Would have been better if it was all hms.

Pain (Ft. Baby Mula): The vocal effects are so weird sounding. Baby Mula did not deliver. A little bit better than the first track.

Ride My Wave: The fart beat is so funny and his delivery is so ridiculous. It just does not stop. Worst so far. The jumpscare at the end was so sick.

No Love Anthem: I love ... read more

Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We
80

Just completed Mitski Friday s11a7 The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We (2023)

Bug Like an Angel: The choir part was a little wack. Lyrics were good, but the guitar was kind of repetitive.

Buffalo Replaced: I like the synth part. Chorus is actually pretty smooth. I like how this one sounds like I’m floating.

Heaven: I love the little touches in the instrumental. Violin is so good. This instrumental felt a hell of a lot more engaging than the last two songs. Love how smooth and vibey ... read more

Henry Franklin, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Jazz Is Dead 014: Henry Franklin
80

Just completed Jazz is Dead Tuesday s14a13 Henry Franklin JID014 (2022)

The Griot: Great track that I’ve listened to before on JID011.
People’s Revolution: Flute was a lot of fun.
Memories Lost: Pure concentrated chill.

They don’t call Henry Franklin the upright bass master for nothing.
Lots of fun to listen to while I did my Henderson.

8/10

Jaden - CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3
35

Just completed LAST Jaden "10/10" Smith Wednesday s16a7 CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3 (2020)

Circa 2015: Strong harp intro. Hate his entrance. Singing is a bit nasally but in some parts it works.

Falling for You: Guitar reminds me of the club penguin pizza theme. Don’t do it Jaden don’t jump. The beat is way too happy for him to talk about killing himself. Chorus was a little lame. I really like the live feeling and dynamic beat.

Rainbow Bap: Jaden kinda goes nuts here. The ... read more

Dream - to whoever wants to hear
10

Slow Down: I hate dream’s vocals so much. Lyrics are so awful and unspecific.

Kind Of Love: More horrendous vocals that make my toes curl. Beat somehow was worse than the first track.

Paranoid: :((((((((((((((((((((((( This was not fun. Vocal were beyond terrible. I hate the uppity nature of this one so much. So generic sounding it’s actually incredible.

Spotlight The wows were so bad. The drop was so egregiously bad. Dream’s vocals are straight unlistenable. The lyrics ... read more

Jaden - ERYS
37

Just completed Jaden "10/10" Smith Wednesday s16a6 ERYS (2019)

P: Starts off with some jesus bars sung by willow smith. The bridge is actually pretty hype with the guitar coming in and the cool piano.

I: Nice song transition. Jaden goes a little crazy on here. Beat has a lot of energy behind it.

N: The background vocals are actually pretty good. Another jaden classic but I’m hoping that it isn’t like last time where the BLUE songs were pretty good, but the rest of the ... read more

Katalyst, Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad - Jazz Is Dead 013: Katalyst
70

Just completed Jazz is Dead Tuesday s14a12 Katalyst JID013 (2022)

The Avenues: Sax went hard and I love how fleshed out the percussion is. I love how the sax and keyboard work in tandem.

Daybreak: A real chill fest. Hink said it was too long, I disagree.

Corridors: Guitar has a nice amount of funk.

Summer Solstice: Love the crazy buildup at the end. The way everything layers together is so nice and sax has some great energy behind it.

Juneteenth: I really like the wacky percussion in the ... read more

Quavo - Rocket Power
59

Just completed migos saturday thursday s10a20 Rocket Power by Quavo (2023)

Fueled Up: I really like the synth in the intro. Quavo has a stellar entrance. The bass drop goes pretty hard. Nice Takeoff outro gets me excited for the rest of this album.

Patty Cake: Horns are great. Takeoff leads a lot of the track. Beat is a little wacky in some parts. I love their verse together. Great track.

Mama Told Me: The reverb intro is a little interesting. Yeah not a big fan of the chorus but the lyrics ... read more

Loved how chill the vocals were and I loved the nice keyboard and guitar.

Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Adrian Younge - Jazz Is Dead 011
NR

Just completed Jazz is Dead Tuesday s14a10 Jazz Is Dead 011 (2022)

I didn’t forget about this thon, I just stopped wanting to do it.
That being said, I think I might clear my thon debt because it isn’t very fun to catch up.

This album is a lot like the first JID with a variety of different jazz features on each song.
Apparently every song is from future albums with those respective artists so oops.
Kinda like a compilation album but for stuff that hasn't been released yet. So I ... read more

Quavo & Takeoff - Only Built For Infinity Links
43

Just completed LAST migos saturday s10a19 Only Built for Infinity Links (2022)

Two Infinity Links: Love the woman going crazy in the background. Crazy energy on these bars definitely has me excited for the whole album.

Tony Starks: Intro wasn’t my favorite. Decent chemistry but these bars and the sleepy ass flow on the whole song are not it. Garbage chorus and ok beat.

Hotel Lobby (Unc & Phew): Guitar is nice. Chorus is really catchy. A lot more energy in this song compared to the ... read more

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP2
40

Just completed Eminem Thursday s15a8 Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013)

Bad Guy: Kinda reminds me of em his first album. No eminem silly business that you usually hear from eminem. Actually good singing chorus that isn’t awkward. Beat switch was sick and I loved how the beat built up.

Parking Lot (Skit): Oh no they caught eminem!

Rhyme or Reason: Loved the yoda voice. The sample is actually sick. Wacky singinem chorus that kinda works.

So Much Better: The singinem is pretty rough. I love ... read more

Migos - Culture III
45

Just completed migos saturday monday s10a18 Culture III (2021)

Avalanche: Papa was a rolling stone sample, one of my favorites r&b songs. Solid track with no real chorus but a verse from each of the migos. Beat is great.

Having Our Way: Starts off with a verse from the legend drizzy drake. About half way through the track till drake hops off the beat. Half baked trap beat. Feels more like a drake song featuring the migos since drake is the chorus and takes a pretty big lead in the track. ... read more

Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loveliest Time
80

Just completed call me maybe monday thursday s5a8 The Loveliest Time (2023)

Anything to Be with You: I really like the distant guitar and high energy sax. The vocals are really fun.

Kamikaze: Nice synth beat. Another pretty fun track.

After Last Night: Her singing is just so fun. Love the background vocals.

Aeroplanes: I really like the piano and synths. The layering is really nice and I love her vocal range. Absolute bop of a chorus. Probably my favorite track so far.

Shy Boy: Another ... read more

Jaden - The Sunset Tapes: A Cool Tape Story

Just completed Jaden "10/10" Smith Wednesday s16a5 The Sunset Tapes: A Cool Tape Story (2018)

Soho: Trap beat gets really annoying. Autotune is not it. Awful lyrics.

A Calabasas Freestyle: Why the fuck does jaden bring up that he has a dragon fetish. Boring.

Play This on a Mountain at Sunset: Terrible five minute autotune prison. I cannot express how truly bad this song really is.

Plastic: More awful autotune over a trap beat. Haterade bar is crazy.

Distant: Autotune hell on a ... read more
