First half of the album is extremely strong filled with classics but Drunk and Hot Girls and Barry Bonds is where the album goes a tiny bit downhill but still an amazing album. Kanye removes all of the skits I found annoying previously and this album is one of Kanye's best production wise.

Eminem's corny and embarrassing attempts of basically trying to get "cancelled" by being "edgy" is humorous to the point where I actually enjoyed it while listening.
Eminem thinks he is the "Gen X leader" in a battle versus Gen Z kids trying to "cancel him" for whatever reasons. You are a grown man rapping lines like “Gen Z, here they come now 'bout to unload rounds. Pronouns. Got me like whoa now". He thinks Gen Z are trying to ... read more
Scubadiver's best work from his first 2-3 years as an artist. Good production, catchy hooks, let down by corny and cocky bars sometimes with lacklustre vocal performances. This EP is enjoyable to an extent.

Needed to review this to get Vultures 2 off my mind smh.
This album is without a doubt one of Kanye's most iconic with multiple hits on it. Although there is albums that are structured better from Kanye, there is no denying that this is his most ambitions work to date with stellar production and a strong list of features to compliment these well made songs.

Being inspired by artists like The Alchemist and J Dilla, Bam Mikal creates a very well produced beat tape with an amazing choice of samples, This tape consists of very chill and relaxing instrumentals that remind me a lot of The Avalanches. It is definitely worth the listen for a nice and chill group of clean instrumentals.

Yeah I actually don't know what to say except WOW. He is ruining his reputation more and more after each project. Kanye is horrible in EVERY single song and the features had to carry hard which they didn't even do a good job either. Just like the last album, Ty Dolla $ign carries vocally on most songs and Kanye PLEASE STOP PUTTING YOUR DAUGHTER IN YOUR SONGS PLEASEEEEEEE.
Heavy hitting metal rap with sick production and the metal sounding guitar on most of these songs are flawless. This album shows JPEGMAFIA is still one of the best experimental rappers on the scene.
Favourite songs :

(EDIT) will go down as one of the best rap releases of the decade. Song for song this is Peggy's best and I'm sure there is still so much more to come from him. Love it.
Was very surprised by this album from Billie Eilish. Although I thought the last 3 tracks were dull and songs like THE DINER and LUNCH tried to go all out mainstream which threw me off, most songs do have very good production and as usual, Billie Eilish provides us with an amazing vocal performance on all songs. I liked the hard hitting synths on songs like CHIHIRO and BITTERSUITE and overall this album is worth the listen definitely.

Album is full of filler tracks that are dull and make the album so much longer than what it should be, but there is some Kanye songs to remember on this album that are very good.

Many Hip hop classics on this album, the skits can be a bit annoying but songs like family business, all falls down and through the wire are certified bangers and they show what Kanye can do when he's at his best.
Favourite songs :
Through The Wire
Family Business
Jesus Walks
All Falls Down
A classic hip hop album containing my favourite hip hop song of all time, Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst. Kendrick provides us with a deep and meaningful hip hop album being told by his second to none story telling.

I mean it isn't bad, just the definition of mid. TY Dolla $ign carries so hard not gonna lie. Kanye's lyrics in this album are a next level of horrible and there is nothing really to say except wow. What a fall from grace by Kanye these past years. Only noticeable song I like is BURN, in which I think Ty Dolla $ign has a good performance in.
EDIT (49---->34) Brought the rating down because Vultures 2 made me hate Vultures 1 even more lol. This is barely better than Vultures 2 so ... read more
Samurai is one of the best hip-hop records this year and some of Lupe Fiasco's best work. Most of the songs have a really catchy chorus and it all flows really nicely. Very enjoyable listen.

EDIT : (85----91) This album has grown on me even more and the concept of this album is absolutely genius.
This is my first review and listen of the album, this rating is subject to change if I do have the time to sit through two hours and do a re-listen but for now I can't give it a perfect score.
This album does take a couple of listens to get into but after my first listen, I already love it. This album has the best climaxes I think ever and the overwhelming instrumentals when the songs hit their peak is unfathomable and it made want to punch my wall I was so hyped and overwhelmed with ... read more
Even though I am not the biggest fan of Electropop or Hyperpop, I can still see the qualities of this album in the stellar production and how aesthetically pleasing this album is.
Kinda made me feel zesty though, idk how I'm feeling about that but nonetheless it's an enjoyable album

Some fun stuff on this album, the production kind of saves Carti on some songs. I do think that the first four songs are really good but there is a drop off then. Uzi Vert does really well on all of his features and this album shows that Carti can make some good stuff.

This was a surprisingly good project, with two of my favourite Kanye songs being on this album.
Favourite songs :
Ghost Town (#1 Kanye song OAT)

EDIT (88-94) It is difficult to talk about Kanye lately, and it's also as difficult have a set rating of his albums, my favourite album always changes every month! I think this is easily my favourite by him though, vulnerable album with an amazing closure.
Changed the course of trap, such a smooth and uplifting album that has not only incredible feature work, but incredible songwriting, production and Travis Scott's vocals on this go together really nicely with the beats.
90210 is one of my favourite songs of all time period.
