I fell in love with this album the very moment I had laid my ears upon it. When I think of jazz, this and the black saint and the sinner lady immediately come to mind. Every second of every song is just so enjoyable. It is so relaxing yet at the same time so energetic. This classic jazz album has so much to offer, and it is a must listen. There was hardly any lyrical content at all, but what there was is beautiful. It has such a unique and enticing delivery to it. That’s about all I could ... read more
This was a really great album, yet it did lack on a few things. It has some really great elements to it overall that are really enjoyable, but this album has some very sly mixed vibes. On certain songs there were the similar peaceful vibe but with a little touch of a different unique. Which at surface value it sounds really awesome, but when you actually hear it, it makes it very cluttered and mixed emotions. The lyrical content was actually really great as per usual, but also as per usual I ... read more
This was honestly just an overall mid album, and it’s incredibly repetitive. I mean it’s pretty cool for the first few songs and it’s also pretty cool listening to what they listened to back in ancient Japan courts, but it doesn’t make it good or anything. The isntuemnts were mainly just flutes, and they were all just incredibly repitive and each song sounds like a continuation of the last one. There’s also nothing that really sticks out to me that much from this ... read more
This was such an amazing project that just offered solely original and unique elements. It was just very enjoyable, and completely a solid debut album. The lyrical content is honestly really good for the most part, and I think it’s actually really spectacular . The rhymes are good and they’re actually more than consistent with every line. He also has really amazing references with the food stuff and I appreciate those references quite a bit. The references just make the lyrical ... read more
This is another really good album by Freddie, and there’s not much to criticize here. I mean the production is just really great. The instruments are all unique, but I really like the drums in all the songs. The lyrical content is also really good. He flows pretty well off the beat, and has solid vocals. His rhymes though are as per usually just phenomenal. The messages and story telling is also so spectacularly amazing, and some of the songs have a more serious message to it. Such as ... read more
This is a really good album, and it definitely needs more love shown to it. The production on this is really good and the combination of complex and abstract instruments just go so well together. Each song has a different manipulation of instruments, but something about the production seems a little repetitive. Even though when you pay attention to each songs production and you realize they’re quite different, it still feels repetitive for some reason. It could be caused by the same ... read more
This was honestly really enjoyable, and such a fun underrated mixtape. Domo genesis is a really good odd future member, and he needs much more love. Anyways though, I don’t think I even have to mention how amazing the production on this album is. I mean after all it is the alchemist who produced it. The choice of instruments and drum frequencies were spectacular. They all collaborate so well to create spectacular different vibes on each song. There was also a great manipulation of really ... read more
This is a pretty awesome album, and I feel like it’s rather unique and fun in its own special ways. The lyrical content is kind of mid, and not really something that you would sing your lungs out to. It has alright delivery and mid story telling. All though, the production matters much more in this genre, so that’s what we will focus on. The production was really amazing, and it offered some really cool and interesting elements. It had great use of the guitar, and the frequencies ... read more
I absolutely love this album, and it needs much more love as well. It is no doubt another great work of Armand hammer, and although it may not be as impactful as other ones, this is still another project to be proud of. The lyrical content has that harsh delivery, execution, and refences that Billy woods and elucid both specialize so well in. They’re all so cold and harsh, and all make it feel as if there is a much deeper meaning. Now the thing with the story telling is that, all though ... read more
This is a honestly an undisputedly near perfect album, and it perfectly depicts ka’s style so well. When you look at each individual song, it’s hard to really critize anything. The lyrical content was just spectacular, and it was rather complex. It had great rhyme schemes that were compact with absolutely beautiful story telling. There are some more sly yet important references that play into the overall message of this project. But the thing that easily stands out the most is the ... read more
This has some really amazing aspects to it, and some things that just aren’t really seen that much in this current music culture. Now I will say there are some things that kind of kill the overall experience, but it’s still really great. The lyrical content is great, and it’s quite emotional. It displays this feeling of heartbreak, and maybe even the 5 stages of grief, through his delivery style, the rhymes, and just the overall feeling. The production was really spectacular ... read more
This is honestly such a stunning an beautiful experience, and I really thought it was so close to a perfect album. I might honestly come back and change this to 100, because if you really look at it everything is so near to perfect. There is just so much absolutely spectacular aspects this album has to offer, and not a singular one of them is ignorable. The lyrical content is hard to judge, since I don’t know what she’s speaking, but gosh oh my these vocals are the most beautiful ... read more
I for sure think this is an awesome project don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it’s that insane. There are some cool elements that you hardly see elsewhere, but those elements didn’t really just captivate me. There was hardly any lyrical content, but for what there was it was good. It has some really nice vocals, and decent enough story telling. The production was definitely awesome, and I enjoyed it very much. It has this experimental rock type feel to it, and the ... read more
This is such a crazy and mind boggling album. I will say though that this is genuinely like kind of disturbing. It is so evil and sinister, but I think it’s really enjoyable. It has so many horrifying pictures that they paint, and so many gruesome scenes they describe. Try to think about the skit intro on method man, and that’s basically what this whole album is all the way through. This album contains detailed themes about horrific murders, insanity, suicide, and much more. Somehow ... read more
This is just a really enjoyable and great album, and I take back what I said about stankonia. This is undisputed my favorite OutKast album, but just by a little. There is not much that this album does wrong, or much that it lacks in. The lyrical content was just spectacular, and it was rather enjoyable. The rhymes are really good, and pretty advanced for their times. The refences and story telling were just phenomenal, and there were so many little stories compact into these songs which played ... read more
I think that this is a really awesome project, and in my opinion probably outkasts best album. It includes so many fun, interesting, and unique elements. For its time specially it was really unique and never really seen of. The lyrical content was amazing, and it was quite enjoyable. The delivery had much heart poured out into it. The rhymes were really good too, and they went bar for bar quite well. The story telling was deifntley not on aquemini level, but it still had some pretty cool ... read more
This album is quite enjoyable, and it offers a variety of cool aspects and themes. It’s hard to pinpoint one overall message, for it is quite broad and interesting as well. The lyrical content was really great overall. The rhymes were solid, the flow was decent, and the vocals were pretty good. The story telling on the other hand was just phenomenal, which I probably don’t have to explain when you have two songs off the album that’s is quite literally named, da art of ... read more
I think that this was definitely a really enjoyable album, and there’s not too much this lacks in. I’m so surprised this has no reviews, because it’s honestly really fun and infesting. If you enjoy donuts by j dilla then you’ll definitely enjoy this as well. It’s an instrumentals only album, aside from the skits. So there’s really no lyrical content to judge, but I will say the skits were pretty fun and enjoyable. The production on the other hand though was ... read more
I really enjoyed this album quite a bit, and it has lots of unique things that you don’t see on your everyday basis. I thought that this album defintley shined in the areas that most albums mainly forget about. The lyrical content was really hard to judge, since I don’t speak Japanese, but I think that it was overall really enjoyable. It had fun elements that you don’t see in almost all genres. There were these like cool baby noises (such as in, michan going to hoikuen) or ... read more
This was the first ever Mike album I listened to, and the reason I first had it at 88 was because I didn’t understand the feel of mikes music. As I progressed, I began to think, feel, and enjoy mikes music far more. Through that I began to understand how absoloutley amazing this album is. This is genuinely so great and Beatifial I just love it. The lyrical content is absoloutley incredible. With every bar he delivers impactful meaning, which is harder to see. Because of the hidden ... read more
