Earl comes with a pretty focused album with his tightest flows to date and his usual lyricism. Altogether, this easily makes for his best album in a long time.
Top 4:
Infatuation
Crisco
Static
Gsw vs Sac
Worst Track:
Heavy Metal (Not bad, just a bit of a copy and paste of the pervious track which already wasn't great.)
Solid rapping from Earl, MIKE, and Vince and Alchemist having great production, however still suffers from Earl having his weird flow. Overall, pretty solid project even with it's downs.
Top 4:
Mac Deuce
The Caliphate
Sentry
Dead Zone
Worst Track:
Heat Check (Don't know why, it just doesn't click.)
It's just worse Some Rap Songs with not as nearly as high of highs, but not as many lows, however, it suffers from being bland as a result.

Solid EP of decent and good songs:
Top 2:
Ultimate (Remix)
Chief Forever
Worst Track:
Delusional Shone
The problem is that after the first third, it never picks back up to being interesting or consistently good.
Top 5:
Weston Road Flows
Views
U With Me?
Hype
Keep The Family Close
Worst Track:
Grammys (Sounds like a WATTBA leftover that was left off and for a good reason too, painfully generic)
Great First Half, the second half is a lot more shakier with a run from FlatBed Freestyle to Choppa Won't Miss that doesn't impress me.
Top 5:
Shoota
Long Time
Home (KOD)
Old Money
R.I.P. Fredo
Worst Track:
Middle of the Summer (Just a confusing track all around.)
Worst Mac Miller project tbh. Nothing too standout even with good and great tracks, felt a but half baked and even then, is wasn't notable.
Top 5:
Fight The Feeling
Sunlight
America
Lucky Ass Bitch
Aliens Fighting Robots
Worst Track:
Ignorant (Underwhelming performances by both Cam'ron and Mac.)
Solid mixtape overall, nothing too crazy, but is an enjoyable listen.
Top 5:
All That
The Scoop On Heaven
Family First
The Miller Family Reunion
Pranks 4 Players
Worst Track:
Just A Kid (Solid concept, but feels done over and over again at this point.)
I feel like this a standard Freddie at the point, it feels sort of stale at this point, not bad, but at this point, it feels like it's nothing special.
Top 5:
On The Set
Brick Fees
Rabbit Island
Origami
Ruthless
Worst Track:
Walk It Off (Feels Boring and Repetitive at this point.)
Solid EP overall, though not the biggest fan of trap Freddie, White Range and Diamonds are some of his best trap style songs:
Best Track: White Range
Worst Track: Pronto
Nothing functionally wrong with it, but just becomes so repetitive after a while that the songs start blending in with each other. I didn't give it a lower score because there's nothing too wrong I can pick at.
Top 5:
Generation RX
Lincoln Continental
Exotic
White Stripes
Greatest Rapper Ever
Worst Track:
N/A, look I honestly think all of it is fine but I guess, Guitar Solo?
Honestly, a bit more of a divisive project for me if anything, cause some songs are just good, while others are great. Overall, pretty decent listen, but some tracks could have been spared, maybe it'll grow on me. Just feels like a sizable downgrade from Alfredo.
Top 5:
Grandma's Stove
Gold Rings
Black Illuminati
PYS
CIA
Worst Track:
Dark Hearted (Never cared for Freddie's singing, this is just another cherry on the pie. Still decent though.)
Solid coke rapping from Freddie and great beats by the Alchemist make for a phenomenal short listen. The Griselda and Tyler Features are some of their best, just an amazing project all around.
Top 4:
1985
Something to Rap About
Babies & Fools
Frank Lucas
Worst Track:
Look At Me (Nothing wrong with it, but it is a pretty good track amongst a sea of great and amazing tracks.)
One of the best debut albums in terms of impact, but not the best when it comes to quality. You could cut some songs here and there.
Top 5:
Many Men
Patiently Waiting
21 Questions
Back Down
What Up Gangsta
Worst Track:
Blood Hound (Just a nothing track.)
Luxury beats combined with some of Freddie's best rapping, some weaker moments hold it back from being higher, but all around, a pretty great album. The features do an incredible job here too.
Top 5:
Palmolive
Fake Names
Education
Cataracts
Massage Seats
Worst Track:
Gat Damn (Boring cut here, there really is nothing to say. Freddie's singing tends to be bland.)
My first Dr. Baklava album, and it was interesting...very fun concept and pretty good soundscape overall. The flows are still something I'm not the biggest fan of but I might get used to it after I go deeper into his stuff. However, this was just an album that I listened to because I was moreso intrigued if anything.
Top 4:
Simone
Triceratops
Mandem
Condor
Worst Track:
Iguana (I really can't get behind how off beat he sounds during the end of each beat break.)
I would have a defense for this album, but I really don't feel like making one. Just as rushed as Donda 2 with slightly better highlights but more AI slop.
Top 4:
Take Off Your Dress
Field Trip
Slide
Promotion
(HM) Dead
Worst Track:
Sky City (This man massacred so many good unreleased tracks from the era and past...)
Never have I had the displeasure of listening to an album as unfinished and unpolished as this...what the hell was he thinking?!
Top 3:
True Love
530 (Original)
We Did It
(HM) City of Gods
Worst Track:
Louie Bags (Jack Harlow does better than Kanye, that should tell you everything there is.)
This is messier than I would like and is littered with questionable choices and sonically conflicting production, but when focused. It's not ALL that bad. Still nowhere near good though.
Top 5:
Keys To My Life
Burn
Problematic
Do It
King
Worst Track:
Beg Forgiveness (Boring, bland, and uninteresting.)
