quick review:
bad bunny finally puts effort into the music and its great so many beautiful groovy songs here.
it does kinda fall off around the middle of the album tho.
overall very satisfied from this bad bunny album last bad bunny i liked was the beach heart one i forgot the name
favorite song: DtMF
Best soul hiphop album thats dropped this year.
august fanum tax obviously always dropping amazing beats and blu is someone i just never bumped so i decided to give this album a try and wow its amazing.
also charles hamilton appearance!?!? (goat)
favorite song: Love (1-4)
check this album out if you fw that chipmunk soul drumless roc marciano early griselda type shit its so damn good
absolutely great production really bouncy however the vocalist SUCKS so its a very noticeable problem.
I can honestly just give credit to the production and the writing but thats it.
feeling like this album might also be a bit overrated.
favorite song: Cinderella
I might increase it to 80 if it starts to grow on me
insanely solid glock album zero misses just straight heat
i honestly felt glockoma 2 a little boring but this feels like a fresh breath of air its really good
favorite song: Badu
fly anakin kinda suprised me with this
the production at times dosent even sound like samples and theres a chance where its actual live instruments
the fearures are great like $ilkmoney and big kahuna and overall it was a bit better than solid
its great to see fly anakin grow.
fav song: The Times
One of my favorite natalia projects for sure
this is a beautiful folk Mexican album with amazing instrumentation honestly left me shocked certain times throughout the album its amazing
also slight bias cause im from Veracruz
whole album is PEAK
Much love to my people from Veracruz and to Natalia Lafourcade shes always meant a lot to me.
favorite song: Carinito de Acapulco
HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend if you want to get into latin folk
kray still got it my goat
production is still insane and I love the chill vibes certain songs have
the autotune aint a problem at all if you cant enjoy this because of autotune ur just filtered lol lock tf in
favorite song: SHLM
could def grow on me
pinball 2 gonna be peak ๐๐
also clams casino helped on this fire ass beat
cool little ep gunns rapping is actually really great the production is just weak (except einstein) throughout the ep.
also sucks the best song is like 0.2 seconds long
RIP MAC MILLER!
favorite song: Einstein Kitchen
this is probably the best boom bap album thats dropped this year, its so damn good.
i really like this album a lot more than from his 2023 album.
Production is grimy to just pure soul and the features are great, CRIMEAPPLE destroyed the song as usual.
overall this could be on my top 20 of the year.
favorite song: Vividor
one of my favorite threesome series project absolutely everything is buttery smooth soul samples.
some of my favorite hiphop production from this year for sure
hus does his usual thing but the beats compliment it so damn well.
5 was disappointing but this is a HUGE step up!
favorite song: Rebound
EDIT 88 -> 89
man i was so wrong calling this overrated.
coming after burning desire (peak) and pinball (peak) this album is in a similar lane but is more laid down and emotional.
around half of the sample based production has been getting a bit too repetitive however all these tracks except for a few are very high quality.
edit 2 84 -> 86
edit 3 86 -> 89
oh boy so this album is great but I do think its overrated
this is my first bon iver album but I really dont fuck with his voice (enjoy it more once he pitches it up) and the production at times can feel a bit annoying.
I did enjoy this overall and obviously the first disc is worse than second.
favorite song: Walk home or If only I could wait
Really fucked with this album i got recommended.
production is buttery smooth for cloud rap standards and its not overwhelming.
also purrp influence prob
one of my favorite underground projects this year for sure.
favorite song: freezeblast
really digged this album sure some songs sound almost exactly the same but I love the emotion from this dude.
This album does remind me a lot of Joy Again too.
listen to this if you just fuck with that 2019-2021 indie sound thats similar to thinking about you by joy again or maybe rex orange countys biggest singles.
favorite song: only human / anywhere at alll
pretty great comeback from shoreline mafia.
production is great only gets slightly stale around the end but the bars are just pretty bad.
overall greatly enjoyed this project.
fav song: Top Notch or Work of Art
