Suffers from heavy bloat and half of these tracks aren't even good.
Top 5:
Diary of A Broke Nigga
Still In the Hood
They Say
Get On Your Shit
Shadow of Death
Worst Track:
No Joke (No Jay Rock, I don't need to repeat myself again. That track was bad then and it will be when I get to his next.)
Great storytelling displayed here but shaky raps hold it back from being higher.
Top 5:
Life's A Cycle
I Won't Go
Real Bloods
Roll On (J Rock)
Zip That Chop That (Black Hippy )
Worst Track:
Striving (It's fine...but repetitive this deep into the tracklist )
I don't like this project and this just feels like the transitional step between the superior before and after him. This album is the definition of bloated. Again, maybe make this a Ye situation [7 or 8 tracks]
Top 4:
Gotta Rap
Moonshooter
Do Better
It Be Like That
Worst Track(s):
Hollandaise/Positive Vibes Only (Why did he dabble in autotune, and please don't let him around it anymore.)
I'm willing to give Soul his flowers for the concept, cause if this wasn't said, probably would have been lower.
Top 5:
The Law
Beat the Case/Straight Crooked
Braille
Huey Knew Then
D.R.U.G.S.
Worst Track:
YMF (He should've ended things out on The Law.)
Ehh, this teeters on being great but struggles to keep it up throughout the tracklist.
Top 5:
Nevermind That
God's Reign
Ride Slow
World Runners
Stigmata
Worst Track:
Twact (Ehh...not that great but not as bad as everyone says.)
This is the best he's going to get but it is a great album nonetheless. R.I.P. Alori Joh
Top 5:
Beautiful Death
Book of Soul
Empathy
Black Lip Bastard (Rmx)
Terrorist Threats
Worst Track:
Soulo Ho3 (Weak intro track to a phenomenonal album.)
Had to grow on me first, but overall, very enjoyable listen.
Top 5:
More of A Euphoria
Almost There
Hell Yeah
Picture That
Loosen My Tie
Worst Track:
Moscato (Kendrick tries to save the track, but it still isn't worth returning to.)
Meh, nothing great and a whole bunch of filler is on here.
Top 5:
California Dreams
Crazier
The Sky Is Limitless
Righteous Man
Peace
Worst Track:
I, Myself & Me (I don’t hate Doechii, but neither artist fails to leave an impact here.)
Great album, that's all, Conway being Conway.
Top 5:
Bruiser Brody
200 Pies
Scatter Brain
Sister Abagail
S.E. Gang
Worst Track:
KD (Again, this man isn't equipped for modern beats.)
The gritty East Coast New York is done to great effect by Conway.
Top 5:
Dough & Damani
Lemon
Spurs 3
Forever Droppin Tears
Jesus Khrysis
Worst Track:
Fear Of God (Dej Loaf runs this track into the ground and the production is out of Conway's element.)
Yeah...it took me a lot to not put this in red. But I do believe the highlights are good enough to warrant it above a red. Now, with that being said, this is his weakest to date. He should've stuck to the plan of the I Am... leftovers. I'm 90% they would've been better than this.
Top 4:
Project Windows
Family
Last Words
New World
Worst Song:
Big Girl (I think Nas was hanging around Diddy a little too much...)
Way too overhated for my liking, great rapping performances even if it is commercial. Commercial ≠ Bad Music.
Top 5:
N.Y. State of Mind II
Nas Is Like
Undying Love
K-I-SS-I-N-G
Dr. Knockboot
Worst Track:
You Won't See Me Tonight (This is when I was smelling strong commercial vibes even with with what I previously said.)
I like it album, but it is technically a downgrade from Illmatic
Top 5:
The Message
I Gave You Power
The Set Up
If I Ruled The World
Live Nigga Rap
Worst Track:
Black Girl Lost (6.5/10, everything else outclassed is severely.)
2 misses but everything else is elite from rapping wide to production. This is what I mean by a level up!
Top 5:
ATLiens
Babylon
Elevators
13th Floor/Growing Old
Decatur Psalm
Worst Track:
Ova Da Wudz (This is one of the misses I was referring to, boring track with no dynamic production to save it.)
This album has a lot of flaws and is very 50/50, but when it hits, it hits the nail directly on the head.
Top 5:
Git Up, Git Out
Crumblin' Herb
D.E.E.P.
Southernplayalisticadillicmuzik
Clamin' True
Worst Track:
Hootie Hoo (Who decided to let an owl in the recording booth?)
Pretty good, pretty good, all the issues I had with his past projects really got smoothed over.
Top 5:
A Lot
Can't Leave Without It
1.5
Monster
Letter 2 My Momma
Worst Track:
Ball W/O You (This man cannot sing and this gets an 83 and it's rated better than Good Day?!)
Overrated, really not that good.
Top 3:
X
Savage Mode
MAD High
Worst Track:
Ocean Drive (Tapped out by the time this comes on.)
Picks up after Ghostface Killers and Rap Saved Me
Top 4:
Still Serving
Disrespectful
My Choppa Hate Niggas
Nightmare
Worst Track:
Ghostface Killers (Travis Scott does nothing and neither do Offset and 21.)
Not as bad as people say, not great though.
Top 3:
Bank Account
FaceTime
Dead People
Worst Song:
7 Min Freestyle (You wanna see the most basic lyricism laid out over a slow trap beat, here you go.)

On Remi's Reviews's review of ScHoolboy Q - CrasH Talk
"I find this album just a bit basic, I like Q's trap style but a whole project filled with essentially Blank Face style songs but less creative to be just meh."

"@Soundwavenjoyer Thank you!"

"@Soundwavenjoyer Okay, maybe that is fair, but it feels like a weaker version Superwoman. It's essentially Superwoman with less impact."

"@Soundwavenjoyer I don't know, you tell me. These are my honest opinions."
On CDTVProductions's review of Kanye West - BULLY
"@AZIZ Why are we glazing the most mid album to come this year?"
On kluemi's review of Yeat - ADL
"@kluemi Look, if this album was the second second disc and the best 5 songs from the first, I can see 70+, but as is, people are glazing because this isn't a good project. It's decent at best. ADL = A Deceptive Listen"
On kluemi's review of Yeat - ADL
"This might get a 50-60 from me, don't know where it scales though."
On Remi's Reviews's review of Yeat - ADL
"I feel like this is generous and this is coming from me, imagine this being the first Yeat album you sut down and listen to, that's me."

"I could tell, but even then Kodak is someone I don't care for."

"I prefer the rapping on Deathcamp that's the thing."
On matitypeshit's review of Young Thug - Slime Season 2
"@matitypeshit Oh no, I agree it holds up in the last and first 1/3, it's the middle section that holds it back. If this was just 12 tracks with the last and first 6 songs, it would deserve the praise."
On matitypeshit's review of Young Thug - Slime Season 2
"@matitypeshit Also, no offense I don't get the hype for Slime Season 1, don't get me wrong, there are bangers but it loses steam fast."
On matitypeshit's review of Young Thug - Slime Season 2
"@matitypeshit For me it's like 70% filler with occasional gems. He went 14/22, but if I'm being real here that should be like 7/22 if not lower. The best track hands down is I'll Tell You What so I'll give you that but almost everything else is decent or meh."
On matitypeshit's review of Young Thug - Slime Season 2
"@matitypeshit What half of this album is fire, I love Thugger as well, but this is just long drawn out and very boring."
On whatsthebuzz's review of ScHoolboy Q - CrasH Talk
"I get wHat you're saying but tHis album is Half and Half at best. If I wanted to Hear ScHoolboy Q over trap I'm going to OK Alright or Code of Honor."
