Not enough Cudi on Dangerous. Needed more hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmm-ing.
Decent project most of the way through, but nothing that really stood out. Imo there’s no telling how this thing is gonna age, but I just can’t see it reaching the level of Oxymoron, Habits and Contradictions, or Blank Face. Easily his worst album as of this writing.
RoboCop gets too much hate and is one of the 5 best songs on here.
Far from Kanye’s best album, but easily his most influential as it completely shifted the atmosphere of pop music in a way that has yet to fade away. Dude said fuck it and dropped a pop album that’s better than most pop artist’s best.
I don’t think his failures crush my successes anymore
Been a while since this dropped but my opinion has stayed pretty much the same. B L U E by itself is like an 80. The rest is about a 60. Production is really, really solid all the way through, but this project is just too long and all over the place to hold my interest. Jaden couldn’t have made his influences more obvious if he had tried, but unlike on “The Sunset Tapes”, I feel as though that almost worked in his favour here. 70.
Originally had it at a 97, but I felt that it deserved those 3 extra rating points.
While Pusha T is no doubt at the top of his game right now, it’s Kanye’s production that really took this project to the next level. It’s been awhile since Kanye took on such a large responsibility for the production of an album, but he’s not rusty by any stretch of the word. Kanye proved that he’s still got it- though I don’t think that was ever truly in doubt.
Edit: raised from an 86 to a 90
If what he had already accomplished wasn’t enough for you, this album should solidify Royce’s standing as one of the best lyricists of his generation.
Whether you began listening to Hip-Hop with Nas in the 90s or Lil Pump in 2017, there is something in this album for every rap fan. Royce did a fantastic job at blending sounds from the old school with sounds from the new school, in a way that J. Cole wasn’t quite able to achieve with KOD.
There is no denying that this is one of the best beats of the year. It’s a fucking crime that he wasted it on a troll.
With this album, Post more or less delivered what was expected of him. Almost every single song on here is catchy, and you just know it’s gonna be dominating the radio waves for the foreseeable future. I’m sure I would’ve enjoyed this record more had he trimmed a few tracks, but right now it’s just way too long to be enjoyable. The content isn’t all that varied, so at times it feels as though he’s just delivering a rendition of the same song with each new ... read more
