pure energy, confidence, and charisma
Edit: (92 -> 88): Very good just not my absolute favorites ever
Now This Is More Like It! The charisma on this album is IRRESISTIBLE
Edit: (92 -> 88): Very good just not my absolute favorites ever
this thing is just not as good as people say. solid but nothing crazy
Edit: Ok I am not gonna leave my review at that cause just saying "overrated" is really annoying. My main problem with this album is it's just way to chilled out and relaxed. Maybe it's an unfair comparison but you listen to something like Illmatic and Nas just sounds so damn hungry. You don't get that on this record and while I get it's going for more layed back swag I can't help but feel ... read more
one of the best final albums and best return albums from a legendary group
one of the most inconsistent efforts from Freddie, some very odd sections, still some highlights
Alch beats are can be very great or a tad boring, freddie makes up the difference mostly
Freddie Gibbs, king of garbage album covers returns! slightly smoother than piñata, maybe a touch more boring, still great
that sample at the end of shitsville kinda sucks, one of the only times a silly madlib sample just does not fit at all
very pretty, denzel! what a guy!
Edit: (85 -> 80): Still love it, just not as much as I did at one point maybe
meg needs to fire her producers. these beats could not sound more generic
highlights, but weighed down by boring beats leading to filler

"@DavidEbner my mistake, replace every mention of Wu with mathematics and include a long side tangent about ghostface killah being a loser. There fixed!"

On Brogotmehyped's review of Iosonouncane - IRA
"I totally understand what you mean when you talk about patience. I had a very similar experience attempting to listen to Swans To Be Kind and only later being able to finish it and love it. Having that experience before listening to IRA is probably what made this such an easy listen for me personally. It is truly a profound experience to have in terms of learning and growing in your ability to consume art. I will fight you a little bit because this album has also had a life changing effect on me. This album may be the single most inspiring piece of art I have ever experienced. I have thought about this album every single day since finishing it because every day I feel a fundamental Need to make music like this. It truly is a special album."
On Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
"@Mychal I've listened to his back catalogue Extensively, trust. This is the same lines about pronouns and Caitlyn Jenner for like 10 songs. Don't worry girl, I get it. The idea of slim shady doesn't just go over my head. Like I said Guilty Conscious 2 was decent cause it was the actual "Death" part of that concept. The rest is just an attempt to adapt slim shady to the modern day and failing miserably. He sounds like an "anti-sjw" edgelord in a Rainbow 6 lobby. It's just corny and cringe"
On Billie Eilish - HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
"@Dallamalla For me touching a good amount of other genres doesn't always mean that it's diverse. Yes it hits on pop, altpop, electronic, indie, synthpop, even a bit of rock, etc. But to me a lot of the diversity in that kinda gets washed away under the soft alt pop style. It all has a cool soft blue filter over it. It takes a lot of different inspirations but makes them more one note. And that may not be a bad thing cause with some albums it can make them cohesive, which it does do here, but I also think it takes away the flavor of those influences. To again reference the synths on Chihiro, they stand out on the album, but there's just not that much more to them outside the soft pop sound, ie not much diversity."
