Paris texas werent really on my radar up until i saw them open for tyler the creator on the chromakopia tour this year. They blew me away with their energy and creativity. im such a sucker for well executed rap rock and these sibling EP's are exactly what i need
both these guys have so much energy in their rapping and the production is disgustingly good. if you're not looking out for these guys, you are missing out.
if you fw east coast hip hop of this era then this is an essential album
this is one of the worst practices in the music industry it is genuinely disgusting
Taylor swift is not the only artist to do this, king gizzard was guilty of this until recently apologising, but this practice fucks over so many smaller artists by putting their vinyl and cd pressings into her, meaning that smaller artists will likely suffer delays which prevents them from taking advantage of hype and prevents them from making money because artists make barely anything from streaming.

this album took me far too long to get to but by god was it worth it. I dont normally rank this many albums this high for the year but this has been such a great year for more niche albums and its fucking amazing. this album is very nearly tied for my favourite of the year
he really does sound like uzi sometimes on here.
i've listened to this mixtape twice now and i genuinely cant find shit interesting about it but i will say its his best project so far. the album cover is a cute spin on the LUV vs the world cover and i actually really like it. ironically enough this is still his most unique work so far cause the beat selection is actually really interesting and as his first release under opium it is decent and i hope his music evolves more. derivative as ... read more
"i feel like ice cube its all about the benjamins"??????
i know i shouldnt take the lyrics too seriously but that really took me out of it. YVL and recently opium signee and cousin of playboi carti released his first studio album last year and its SO FUCKING GENERIC. theres moments i like on here hence it not being rated lower but this was the longest 36 minutes of my life. Apollored1 is the most boring member of this fuckass lable because everyone has some identity. Homixide gang ... read more
earrings is the only interesting song on here and its only cause the beat is incredible and the whispery flow doesnt actually ruin it.
idk who the FUCK shelovesmeechie is but im not sure i really want to because this mixtape is fucking nothing. wait sorry what? THIS ISNT A MIXTAPE??? THIS IS AN ALBUM??? i dont even know if this dude is actually associated with YVL/opium because of how little attention this has got but if he is this is embarassing. This isnt a big album or anything but however ... read more
the production on here is mostly great but this project is really nothing special and apollo is the big reason for this because these flows are pretty basic and just feel like if lone didnt always sound congested + edward skeletrix with less voice effects sometimes on tracks like ready2purge. his apollored1 vs the world mixtape is a big improvement but im not inclined to believe that album is gonna be the status quo, rather the exception. i'd love if he proved me wrong but he still stands ... read more
these first 3 songs are great dont get me wrong but WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ON HALF OF THIS ALBUM. the unnecessary and honestly bitter sounding digs at charli XCX, the insistence that she likes her friends cancelled/problematic, this is not the return to form that i was hoping for. its better than tortured poets, but its a low bar
Another 2025 re-review
i've made a lot of progress when it comes to my feelings on a lot of underground and rage music this year. i was incredibly harsh on this album when it came out, initially giving it a 26/100. i understand what i actually like from rage music instead of not really knowing why i like some of it. Jumpout has a very different style of production from what i knew i liked but i kept an open mind as some of the best beats here are more reliant on melody in comparison to ... read more
while most rage music i dont understand because the artist is just hard to understand, this is just because i do not speak spanish but the production on this record is fucking incredible and exact;y what i've been wanting from the genre. English speaking mfs need to take notes
despite the dissapointments out of opium, the rage scene seems to be thriving right now and its thanks to bringing in so many different sounds and inspirations.
Lucy bedroques debut mixtape showcases very digicore and glitch pop inspired version of the rage subgenre thats breathing new life into the subgenre where the heavy hitters are starting to seem more and more uninspired. artists like Jane remover, che and now Lucy are breathing so much new life into this genre to the point where i ... read more
has some decent tracks but i just find myself not really caring for this record

"Considering you liked flashout freestyle, give stunt 4 life by ezcodylee a shot. Given he already features on the original half blood you might fw it. It blends rage and punk rock perfectly in my opinion, and doesnt feel like the fake "punk" personas that carti or che have done in recent years"

"@StarLightBBX as someone who isnt a drake fan, idk why he hates in drake so strongly. I dont believe he's ever gone into any reasons he just pokes fun at him all the time. Granted its funny, but he's doint the same thing people dislike drake for. Repetitive whining"
On 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓪's review of ezcodylee - STUNT 4 LIFE
"@dingalingaling i got it as soon as he started using the word "punk" the way he did. Being punk is being unapologetic about your politics and your opinions and che expresses absolutely none of that. Apart from the abrasive sound, there's no essense of 'punk' in anything that che does, especially in comparison to ezcodylee who has punk DNA embedded into each bit of the music"

"@redsnapper2 not at all, just because they employ distortion doesnt mean it distorts everything else, its a very clearly controlled chaos with death grips. With 2slimey it clearly trumps everything else in the instrumental and even the vocals."
On #1 MIDWXST DICKRIDER 🍆💦's review of 2slimey - times changin
"@ramonapark01 absolutely not lmao. Death grips isnt an assault on the ears with distorted 808s cranked to the max with trash lyrics and no variety in the delivery."
On #1 MIDWXST DICKRIDER 🍆💦's review of 2slimey - times changin

On musicrater9's review of Bad Bunny - Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
"@felix_valkyria that history has no baring on the fact ice, especially as it stands right now, is a dangerous and tyrannical institution. it is wild to dismiss that fact due to the reason it exists because as it stands, innocent people are dying and its not just the sex traffickers and drug traffickers because the government that are so involved in funding ice, have also been covering up the biggest sex trafficking ring in human history. you're missing the point beyond belief. I wont deny that traffickers and other awful people have been persecuted at the hands of ICE, but as it currently stands, the way that institution is being handled as we speak is dangerous and it needs either drastically reformed, or abolished."
On claire ☆'s review of Gesaffelstein & The Weeknd - Lost In The Fire
"i didnt interpret it as a conversion bar, just one about fucking a bi girl, but yeah it doesnt make it any less cringe to hear him sing about. it always annoys the fuck out of me whenever someone does it as a massive Abel fan."
On PlasticTrees's review of Che - REST IN BASS: ENCORE
"@th3o you dont need video proof to believe carti beat his gf retard. Do you think thats the only valid form of proof for someone to believe someone did something? Do you think EVERYTHING is recorded or else it didnt happen? The closest we have is the footage of the interrogation and direct aftermath of him 'alledgedly' beating that pregnant woman. If you do your research you will find plenty good reasons that people believe that he did that."
On jackolson45's review of Nas - Magic 3
"As someone who likes this album a good bit more than most, magic 2 and 3 are so much less focused than magic 1. I think its because magic 2 and 3 were a lil more rushed and looser in concept as magic 1 was made in anticipation for KD3, but did something with more of an old school feel to set it apart.
Magic 2 and 3 arent being made in anticipation of anything and just instead feel like throwaways from nas and hits other sessions"

On nino888's review of OsamaSon - Flex Musix
"@ChemicalRr not particularly, it can be in a lot of cases but aesthetic can be correctly used in many different ways kinda used interchangeably with vibe in a musical context but the visual aspect is often used to strengthen the aesthetic in other areas. Again to use an example, opiums visual aesthetic is used in tandom with the aesthetic they use in their music"
