a great lil compilation/throaways album. untitled 05 is one of kendricks best songs
it is disgusting how good this is
i listened to this on the trainride to see the foo fighters about june 16th or 17th. i listened and then promptly forgot about it but this album isnt bad, probably one of the better things to come from a legacy west coast artist in recent memory but its pretty forgettable
not the worst thing ever, but not exactly good either. bloated to all hell and while cube doesnt suck here, it feels like a massive loss in identity after his first 4
im dissapointed, but not because its not quality. Theres no skips on this record but not only is the second half much weaker than the first but it abandons a certain style of production that i was LOVING.
this is ice cubes weakest album of his first 3 but the highs are higher than his first 2 imo. wicked is my favourite ice cube song, we had to tear this mothafucka has this dark low end theory type sound i love with the bass sample. the lyrics themselves are whitty and go perfectly with his ... read more
A certified classic and arguably aged better than his sophomore album. I love the production here and this album is much more conscious than his past stuff with NWA. im not sure if im the only one who thinks this is easily better than straight outta compton but i will say it with my chest. the production is infectious and addicting and cube doesnt have any of the low moments lyrically that he would have on death certificate
this album is a tad bloated but what can i say its a classic. a few moments havent aged very well but a lot of all timers landed on here. i need to relisten to his first record but i'd feel comfortable calling this cubes best album. in terms of political hip hop, it doesnt get much better than this and is mostly fucking imaclate but theres a moment here and there that really puts me off. the political and conscious tracks are the best ones here and a couple bangers that dont really fit ... read more
if the first 3 cypress hill albums are stoner hip hop, then this is when being a heavy stoner catches up to you.
i knew nothing of what to expect as i had not heard a single track off of this record and honestly i kinda wished i'd kept it that way but fuck it man i loved their first 3 albums, this carries it on what could go wrong?
this album made me feel fucking nothing except disorientation, convusion and turmoil. i would rather watch paint dry than listen to this again because ... read more
this album still sounds fresh. out of every hip hop album to do THIS kind of sound with the 80's inspired sample based west coast sound (yes, that includes straight out of compton and 2pacs SFMN, hell even ice cubes first 2 records arguably)
i fucking love this album and still think its a classic. this album all hits start to finish with some of the best production to ever hit this style, courtesy of group member DJ Muggs. with Cypress hill's first 3 albums he has a very distinct ... read more
black sunday is one of my favourite hip hop albums of the 90's and is a fucking classic. the hazy and murky stoner music really fucking clicks with me and is something i have truly never felt replicated. these first 3 cypress hill albums are all classics in my opinion and dont get nearly enough credit for how fun and creative they are. each of these first 3 albums have such a unique identity to one another and it makes each album worth experiencing on their own merrits. Black sunday ... read more
for cypress hill being such a popular group, people only tend to give props to black sunday and if anything else then a track here and there from their first 5 albums. theres always one song on each album that tends to get the critical and commercial love but the albums themselves dont get discussed NEARLY as much and i think thats really dissapointing. i love this album and think its probably their second best work behind black sunday. i love the dark horrorcore inspired production, its some ... read more
i dont like MGK at all, but i do try my best to be as nice as i can even to artists i dont like but this shit is SO fucking boring. Hes left behind pop punk, instead just going for pop rock and it somehow sounds even MORE soulless. Its not as bad as his last album but its worse than tickets to my downfall and hotel diablo quite easily. it feels like his singing has improved on here and thats nice for him but the music sounds so generic and boring that it doesnt FUCKING MATTER
This feels so uninspired and im dissapointed cause joey was doing GREAT this year musically
im seeing this album get a variety of reactions but i didnt know what to expect.
Fata morgana INSTANTLY had me hooked, these riffs are fucking disgusting in the best way possible, giving me heavy prime wes vorland vibes on this track. Black rainbow is certainly weirder but still solid and still has those guitars im loving but i fear i do understand the core complaints.
The mixing is a hard pill to swallow. the vocals can sound a tad muddy and the guitars can sound a tad drowned out by the ... read more
This album is fun, emotional and honestly a masterpiece. im not familiar with glaive at all, this was a recently added pull for me but the production here is mostly high energy with glaives performances reflecting this, however the lyrics omes from a very personal and moving place. immaculate production and songwriting front to back
