first time properly listening to a Vince Staples album and with how good this is it certainly wont be the last.
Brilliant commentary on the current states of both the shitshow that is American politics and the nightmare that is general societal discourse worldwide. Militarism and Imperialism are the worst things to happen to this world. Overall the messaging is near-perfect.
This album is also amazing sonically. Some of the best rap-rock in ages, this album blends Hip-Hop and rock sounds ... read more
Very good Electro/Dance Pop EP. She freaky asf on some of these.
Bad Romance is a Classic, pretty easily Gaga's best song (top 3 at the very least)
Alejandro keeps up the yearning tone and is cool
Monster is my first big critique here, the autotune work is really messy
Speechless is really cool, Gaga shows off her vocal capabilities backed by an instrumental reminiscent of something you'd hear in an old-timey music bar and i dig it, this song its straight out of a highschool ... read more

can't say anything about lyrics because i dont understand spanish but they were certainly flowing on some of these tracks.
Beats are snazzy, a little basic and kinda wonky at times but all around they're pretty good. I like some of ... read more

Just a concise package of smooth asf cloud rap beats, no cases of songs overstaying their welcome whatsoever. As per its nature as cloud rap, the soundscape is just amazing. Also fucking insane that this was all made at such a relatively young age, especially back in 2014 when that was much less common. Also on the note of being made in 2014: this absolutely still hold up to today's standards.
Insane replay value.
