Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown. Just wow, I was surprised about how much I enjoyed this album. I listened to it a couple times before this review, but never really focused on it a lot, just kept it on my airpods while I was in school, but now that I actually locked in on it, I can understand why people love it so much.

This project is super consistent from start to finish, every song being different from the other, and I love that about this album, every track is so unexpected and weird.. ... read more

Cheat Codes, by the legendary rapper Black Thought and legendary producer Danger Mouse. Before listening to this album, I thought it was gonna be sinister and dark because of the cover, but after listening to it twice, none of the tracks are that creepy. Every song on this project has a different mood to it, from more relaxed songs, to more energetic & loud bangers.

An issue I have with Cheat Codes is that most songs seemed a bit low quality, usually it was Black Thought's rapping ... read more

Big Fish Theory, by Vince Staples. I started getting into Vince's music lately, and I've been wanting to listen to this album for a while, and it didn't disappoint. This project is very experimental with it's sound, being very glitchy making it sound very futuristic and overall unique.

It starts off very well with tracks like Crabs In a Bucket, which is a perfect example of the futuristic sound I described above, then it follows up with Big Fish which is just a solid fun ... read more

Piñata by Mr. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib. First off, I gotta point out, wtf is this cover, like it's so ass, but at the same time I'm starting to love it. Now we gotta talk abt the album itself, one of the best Hip Hop albums of the decade, with amazing rapping and production throughout the whole tracklist.

As I said before, the production here is amazing, and it's fully produced by one of the best to ever do it, Madlib. He can make any type of beat, Chipmunk Soul beats, ... read more

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by the notorious Wu-Tang Clan. One of the highest praised Hip Hop albums of all time, from critics and from the rap community. A classic in a lot of people's eyes, for it's groundbreaking sound, hardcore style and it's rawness. I've been waiting a while to listen to this, and it definitely didn't disappoint.

For starters, this project has no bad songs, not a single skip, every track is quality, some more than others, but all are solid. ... read more

Dark Times by Vince Staples, a what it seems like very personal album, which as the title suggests, talks about dark times in Vince's life such as depression, trouble finding love, and much more personal topics. This is the first project I've heard from Vince, and I enjoyed it a lot, and as many people believe, I think it should've been a contender for Rap Album of the Year.

This album succeeded in a lot of areas, Vince Staple's calm and thoughtful rapping combined very ... read more

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest. As Q-Tip said: "Uh, so funky", I agree with that, this project is probably the grooviest Hip Hop album I've ever listened to, probably due to the jazz and boom bap it contains. A definite classic.

This album is great from start to finish, there are no bad songs or a worse half than the other, this project is consistently very solid, and it's not just the songs, it's also the group's rapping. My personal favorite member ... read more

I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, JPEGMAFIA's 5th studio album and considered by many, a 2024 album of the year contender. This project is much more different than his previous ones, it's much more rock influenced, and calmer, especially on the later tracks.

I enjoyed this project quite a bit, it has fantastic tracks on it like SIN MIEDO or don't rely on other men (album), which are great in their own ways. But the standout track for me is without a doubt Exmilitary. I couldn't ... read more

The Blueprint, by JAY-Z. Considered by many his best work and magnum opus, an East Coast Hip Hop classic, with a lot of chipmunk soul influence. It serves as Hov's victory lap, the whole entire project is him being braggadocious and flexing his money, success and the women that he has. lap.

As I mentioned before, this project is all about Jay bragging, and that can be reflected on basically every track. From The Ruler's Back, where he's rapping about being the king of Hip Hop, ... read more

SCARING THE HUZZ by JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown. Very good album and my favorite Peggy album till now. Such an unique project, from its eerie and messy production, to the just purely funny lines both spit. As any other Peggy album, it mixes a lot of shit together, and that's what makes it so good.

Alright, so we gotta start with what made me enjoy this album so much. Firstly there are so many great songs on here, the whole tracklist is great, but my personal favorites I have to say are ... read more

Veteran, by Mr. JPEGMAFIA himself. JPEG's sophomore album met my expectations, tho I do believe All My Heroes Are Cornballs was a better and more concise listen, we shouldn't take any credit from this one. I feel like this LP is where he mastered his unique style of production and music in general, it's very noisy, it's exciting and most importantly, weird asf.

First off, let's talk about what sets this album apart. As I mentioned before it's very weird and ... read more

Run The Jewels 2, by of course Run The Jewels. RTJ 2 is the second volume of the RTJ trilogy, and on first listen, I think it's not as good as the first one. Both are very similar projects, both are hard-hitting, loud and arrogant, but still, I believe the first did it a bit better.

Now let's stop comparing both albums, and let's talk abt what we're here for, what makes Run The Jewels 2 good. Both EL-P and Killer Mike give killer performances throughout the whole record, ... read more

The Diary by the legendary rapper and producer, Scarface. A classic southern Hip Hop project with a lot of G-Funk influence. I was quite excited to listen to this album, and it delivered.

To start it off, Scarface was very impressive on this project, the subject matter about his gangsta life, accompanied by his deep and commanding voice with outstanding bars was great. The production on this project was also very remarkable, with most tracks having this very dark and sinister sound, combined ... read more

Some Rap Songs by Earl Sweatshirt, man I gotta say... this shit is bang average. I was heavily disappointed by this, I was expecting a great album as this site showcases, but what I got was a boring short mess of an album.

First off I gotta say, Earl didn't impress a bit, he had no mic presence, sounding like he was sleeping while rapping, weak delivery, and mediocre and bland bars, with the same boring flow for every fucking song. I don't understand why he gets so much praise, this ... read more

GNX by one of the GOAT's himself, Kendrick Lamar. I was in my last class of the day when this randomly dropped, like out of nowhere, and I'm all for it. To start it off, this album has a lot of variety, with Kendrick rapping over trap and hardcore beats on one song, to flowing on piano notes and guitar strings on another. This project combines a bunch off music styles and genres, making it K-Dot's most diverse project to date.

GNX has a multitude of great songs, from fun bangers ... read more

All My Heroes Are Cornballs by JPEGMAFIA, a very very interesting project. This album is probably the weirdest I’ve ever heard and the first album I’ve ever heard from JPEGMAFIA, and thank God I finally listened to this. This thing is so random and so chaotic, from its weird beats and production choices, to PEGGY’s mic inflations and weird/funny adlibs and noises he does all over it, AMHAC is such an interesting and abstract LP.

As I mentioned before, AMHAC is very ... read more

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths, recommended to me by a friend, is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 1980s. Often hailed as a cornerstone of indie rock, the album blends Morrissey’s introspective and witty lyricism with his expressive and captivating vocals, which seamlessly complement Johnny Marr’s masterful guitar work, creating a sound that feels both heartfelt and melodically rich.

The highlights of the album for me were There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, I ... read more

Black on Both Sides by Mos Def, widely regarded as a classic in the hip-hop community, carries a reputation for its introspective lyricism, jazz-infused production, and its role in shaping conscious rap during the late '90s. Given its acclaim and Mos Def’s stellar guest appearances—particularly his standout verse on Kanye West’s Two Words—my expectations for this project were sky-high. However, while the album has its strengths, it didn’t fully live up to ... read more

DAYTONA by Pusha T, an album I’ve reviewed before, remains great despite its short runtime, packing a lot into just seven tracks. It’s easily a top 3 album of the year, with Kanye West’s excellent production backing Pusha’s sharp, commanding rapping. Across the project, Push delivers his signature bars about drug dealing with unmatched confidence, while also taking shots at Drake on a couple of tracks.
One of the standout tracks on DAYTONA is What Would Meek Do?, ... read more

Run The Jewels, the debut album by the duo of Killer Mike and El-P, is a bold and loud project that doesn’t hold back. With its hard-hitting beats, sharp lyricism, and relentless energy, the album grabs your attention from the first track and never lets go. It’s a great introduction to their distinct style, combining raw production with thought-provoking commentary that cements them as one of the most dynamic duos in hip-hop.
One of the standout aspects of Run The Jewels is its ... read more
