It's decent, but lacking in terms of a Young Sinatra adjacent production - every Young Sinatra mixtape is a boom bap masterclass. This is.. I mean, it's an OKAY album, don't get me wrong, but attaching the Young Sinatra name to this just pointless - the boom bap is sparse and admittedly lacking - except for the random FULL WU TANG POSSE TRACK?? The storytelling of Street Dreams II is great - especially when you notice the alarm sound in the background integrated into the beat. ... read more
About as good as Bobby Tarantino, which means it's, uhh.. oh, no.. wait, actually it's a little worse. Who gives a shit anymore.
It's CHEAPER trap. And the skits aren't even as good.
Best Songs : BoomTrap Protocol / Indica Badu (thanks wiz!) / State Of Emergency (thanks 2 chainz!)
Worst Songs : Yuck | Wizard Of Oz | Wassup (thanks big sean..)
One of the most overhated albums I've witnessed in my lifetime, at least in the circles I loom around. It's just.. not even bad? It may be preachy, it may be cringe at times, and it's subject content may be all over the place, but is it TERRIBLE? No. Absolutely not.
Best Songs : Confess / America / Ink Blot / Mos Definitely / 1-800 / Black SpiderMan
Worst Songs : Killing Spree | Take it Back | Anziety
Also, the hate on 1-800 is fucking lame and corny as shit. You're hating ... read more
It's trap.
It's CHEAP trap, correction.
Best Songs : Flexicution / Wrist (thanks king push!) / Deeper Than Money
Worst Songs : Slave | Slave II | The Jam
Note : A Word From Our Sponsor is genuinely one of the best skits I've listened to. It's hilarious. No idea why it's rated so low.
Don't abbreviate the album name.
Best Songs : Fade Away / Like Woah / Innermission / Lord Willin' / Stainless
Worst Songs : Contact | I Am The Greatest | Paradise
Haha good kid maad city jokes beside. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. There's nothing bad about it - it's tight from start to end.

Fuck y'all putting this as worst AOTY of 2019. I remember you all. You can't run.
Best Songs : Title Track / Icy / Out of Sight / Lost In Translation

It's solid. k.dunk seems hungry and Lucero brings his solid flowing. Beat is REALLY smooth, too.
The soulful outro too? Goddamn. Orgasmic.
It's a step back from Peace of Mind, for sure. The intro - INFERNO - is just.. weird? Awkward? Questionable. For the concept of the album - being in hell, or k.dunk turning into Satan himself, or whatever - it's FINE. It's just weak. Sure, there's some really good moments, like the slow-paced DAMNED or the hungry rapping on SALVATOR IN TENEBRIS.. But it's also stained by the downright terrible of SANGUIS PROMISSIONEM (which is just terribly auto-tuned and slow) and ... read more
This is probably the peak of k.dunks rapping so far. The flows and beats are excellent, a major step-up from Growing Pains II. Another major issue in his past albums - the MIXING - has been fixed, hoorah! (except for On My Way and Hell of a Year, but I forgive him) - Honestly, this is kind of a hidden gem as it's a very good project.
Best Songs : The Heart / The Soul, Pt. 1 / Champagne Showers / Thank You / Gone / TIme
Worst Songs : On My Way | Hell of a Year
Compared to Suicide Pact, this is like Illmatic. Well, it isn't THAT good, but what an improvement. Has some serious flashes of great, which, spoiler alert : only gets better in Peace of Mind, his next album. There isn't many straight-up BAD moments or songs, just over-all 'decent' consistency.
Best Songs : Mastermind / OC Freestyle / Ups & Downs / Bueno
Worst Songs : Peace | Guantanamo
It's.. not very good, really. The mixing is hot ASS. Listen to Rose Petals. Why the FUCK does it sound like that? The beat selections are questionable, the rapping is inconsistent, and take away k.dunks godawful autotune.. Have I mentioned how bad the mixing is yet?
Best Song : Starlight
Worst Songs : Rose Petals | Gonroll | Die Like This | Glass After Glass
edit : just gets worse actually
Now this is the Kendrick I like. Jazzy, Section 80 era. It's just so amazing to see that Kendrick can absolutely kill this style.. I just wish he'd go back. This EP is VERY bi-polar in quality though.
Best Songs : P&P 1.5 / Opposites Attract / Barbed Wire / She Needs Me
Worst Songs : Michael Jordan | Average Joe | H.O.C | Cut You Off
