Some fun songs in the mix but this is far less memorable than the first one, and some of the chorus’s are way too repetitive. Also clearly a lot of the songs are out of Metro’s comfort zone as a producer. And it’s way too long.
TLDR it’s bloated and coulda used more time at the drawing board. Still some bangers tho
Not every moment lands but it shows lots of potential in the crew Yachty has assembled. I can’t wait to see Karrahboo progress as an artist.
The rapper filmed the 'Intimate Interview' with Fuse back in 2013, when he was 23. In the interview, the host asks MGK who his first celebrity crush was, and he says: “I don't care who my first celebrity crush was because right now it's Kendall Jenner. God damn I've said that so many motherf*cking times, I hope that I'm snagging that."
He then adds: “Don't let me move to LA. Ooof, I'm finding her.” Kendall was 17 at the time the interview was recorded.

This album is actually so good. This is what I want my pop music to sound like, throwback but modern, grounded but outlandish, goofy but incredibly serious.
This remains by far my favorite Kanye album and in my opinion, the best representation of him as an artist.
The production has massive range, from soul sampled rap, Yeezus-esq industrial, club anthems, and gospel. It incorporates everything with a brilliant sense of collaboration. Almost nothing feels out of place here, everything has a purpose.
There’s some irony in the fact that this is the album that has “I miss the old Kanye” when nowadays, this is the Kanye that I miss.
It’s crazy how great country music can be when it’s not just crappy “country cosplay” about beer, women and pickup trucks.
It’s crazy how much better country production can be when it has variety without just being trap drums over generic folk-esque ford truck month music.
It’s crazy how good the vocals can be when they have the soul of the blues and folk music that the genre spawned from, and not just fake twangy garbage.
I love this album, maybe even ... read more
It’s basically “what if Blitzkrieg Bop was actually pretty depressing and existential” and I’m here for it
I feel like I objectively hate this song because it’s just a Charli XCX knockoff, yet it still scratches a musical itch for me so I end up liking it anyway.
Also does Carti literally just go sumunuwjana at one point?
fantastic and versatile record from Matt of Brockhampton fame. Surprisingly despite him being known primarily for rapping in the group, this album mostly moves away from rap and sees Matt sticking to oddball indie a bit more. As a result, we get what sounds like the BROCKHAMPTON version of a Dijon album (which feels appropriate as Dijon does pop up as a producer), and it's quite fantastic.
Easily a top 5 trap album and possibly the best psych trap album ever.
The album speaks for itself beyond that.
Easily Jacob Collier at his most palatable. Still unlikely to convert any haters but if you can accept that slightly over the top flair that he tends to bring, it’s quite a nice pop record.
I don’t like to be so reductive because there are definitely lots of elements that set them apart from each other, but the whole time while listening to this album, all I could think was “PinkPantheress but sleepy.” Idk maybe it’ll grow on me.
AJR prove that they probably could’ve made an album worth listening too but chose not too.
This is an album I loved when it first came out but in retrospect a lot of the ideas perhaps make themselves out to be more impressive than they actually are.
