A pretty bare bones project especially from an artist of Vince's calibre, however the production is still very catchy and well arranged, as simple as it may be.
Favs: THE BEACH, AYE! (FREE THE HOMIES), MAGIC, WHEN SPARKS FLY, PAPERCUTS, LEMONADE, ROSE STREET
Worst: DJ QUIK
Rapper, activist, writer, poet, Noname on her debut album "Room 25" gives a sense of refurbished innocence, similarly to "Telefone", however this time backed by sonically rich orchestration and lush vocals that provide a smooth listen that, doesn't drag on but doesn't come and go either. There is a vast contrast in styles, whether its the funky, swift guitar picks on "Blaxploitation" or the smooth, dramatic orchestra on tracks like "Prayer Song" ... read more
Knxwedge's rich production, flows so well with .Paak's smooth voice, for a very pleasent, calming listen. Most tracks barely scratch the 2 minute mark, but that helps the production on the tracks breathe without seeming monotonous, similarly to Madvillainy.

Favs: Dirty Laundry, 3 Tearz, Savage Nomad, Best Life, Negro Spiritual, Combat
Worst: Belly of the Beast
A very charming outlook on aspiration, presented through warm production and lyrics, contrasting his prior release; Care For Me
Favs: Survivor's Guilt, an Interlude Called "Circus", Come My Way, a Simpler Time, Soldier, 2012, Few Good Things
Worst: Stop That
good will bargain bin. idk why i have this on physical dont ask me, i just liked the song One Week growing up
Although filled with highlights, namely Chum, Hive, and Woah, "Doris" suffers from an inconsistent track list that struggles to support the heavy weight of this record. The weak tracks hold this back from being a classic for me, however I commend the strong points, and find the overall cohesiveness track to track to work in its favor, which, after diving into almost all of earl's projects, I can safely say is one of his strong points, along with maturity, and lyrical density.

Extremely morbid, and distilled of hope, I Don't Like Shit is a demonstration of degeneracy, lack of motivation that has a relentlessly gloomy aftertaste. Though it is levels darker than Doris, this LP is still presentable with its production, and irony laced quips. Probably Earl's emptiest album in terms of life, yet it still manages to feel full of personality, despite the matter.
Favs: Huey, Mantra, Faucet, Grief, Off Top, AM // Radio, Inside, Wool
Worst: DNA
Melancholic and drowsy, excruciatingly blunt and face value, unforgiving yet sorrowful, spiteful yet slightly benevolent. Some Rap Songs presents an intensely personal collection of tracks, all strung together loosely, with short length, which causes a very felicitously jarring mood, resulting in what can only be described as poetically deranged. This unconventional flow of tracks causes a very seamless listen, making its short runtime count, with every single minute of uninterrupted dismay and ... read more
Beastie Boys if they scared the hoes
probably some of the funniest rap ive heart all decade so far. really great quips and bars. has alot of personality and amazing production to back it. This really feels like if Ad-Rock and Mike D all had platonic sex with Danny Brown and Jpegmafia respectively, and then those babies grew up to meet miraculously and had a baby, making twins; These two.
here are some funny quips fromthis LP to round off this short review;
"Make em say WOW like im Leeroy ... read more
Astounding production that immerses us into Chinouriri's world, and her struggled with heartbreak and mourning, with humorous writing, that is also touching.
Favs: Garden Of Eden, The Hills, Never Needed Me, My Everything, It Is What It Is, Dumb Bitch Juice, What A Devastating Turn Of Events, Cold Call, I Hate Myself, So My Darling (Acoustic)
Worst: My Blood
IT'S A BED BUGE!!!!
Very ravishing and charming pop, painted with lush soundscapes that make for a very pleasant listen, showcasing the ups and downs of relationships, insecurities, and worries. love that gets lulled by anxiety, eventually resolving and making piece again. lots of personality in this record.
Favs: No One, You Know I Love You Still, Damn, Honey Boba Boy, If I Could Say
Worst: Frog Rinse
Disc 1: 44/100 | Disc 2: 52/100
Boring and uninspired in all fronts. Futures yelpy vocals really aren't doing it for me at all, and metro brings his most bleak production ever, which form to make a long, bloated, and tedious to listen to.
Favs: We Still Don't Trust You, Out Of My Hands, Beat It, Nobody Knows My Struggle, Show Of Hands
Worst: Mile High Memories
my first denzel project ironically and it holds a special place in my heart for introducing me to southern hiphop as a whole (at least modern). very unique, abrasive, yet oddly enticing and accessible production.
Favs: RICKY, BIRDZ, SPEEDBOAT, YOO, CAROLMART, SHAKE 88, P.A.T.
Worst: AUTOMATIC
Denzel's most thoughtful work to date, with more lax, jazz inspired production.
Favs: Melt Session #1, Walkin, Worst Comes To Worst, The Last, Mental, Troubles, Ain't No Way, X-Wing, Sanjuro, Zatoichi, The Ills
Worst: The Smell Of Death
Madvillainy if it was made by some white dude and the guy who made ULTIMATE
Favs: Take_it_Back_v2, Pyro (leak 2019), DIET_ So.Incredible.pkg, 'Cosmic'.m4a
Worst: Lay_Ip.m4a
very fun album with lots of everything.
Favs: Oh Shit!!!, Bad Boys 3, All This Money, S on Ya Chest, What's Goodie, 2016 Interlude, All Quiet on the West Side, Keep on Slippin, Look Mama I Did It
Worst: Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
A stellar performance, showcasing Glovers ear for production, and how well he can sing, because he sings his ass off. moving lyrics and its all done to honor of his newborn son (Lucky him!!!). A quintessential listen for all music fans.
Favs: Me and Your Mama, Riot, Redbone, California, Terrified, Baby Boy, The Night Me and Your Mama Met, Stand Tall
Worst: Have Some Love
sucks i had to wait for weeks to listen to this, with the whole copyright issue, but the wait was well worth it.

"reviews are so accessible on this site and your out here just typing shit. fr tho make a site to post your reviews i think even though i cant understand majority of this shit - like "panopticon scrimished shawshank, lenticular" like put down the thesaurus big bro - i can still appreciate the parts i do understand, and youd prob get more acknowledgment and lowk revenue too with ads.
at the same time what does literally any of this mean like woww you wrote "eye" instead of "I" thats so unique you go man

On Syf's review of redveil - sankofa
"@Syf it generalizes art, it undermines the artistic value in these projects, in a very racist manner, its just like people using the term "mumble rap" derogatorily. whether conscious or not, it is still inherently racist in nature."
On Syf's review of redveil - sankofa
"@GarfieBabey thats called a hot take, music elitists never say what they actually dislike about the album, they are saying the same shit that all those brainrot one liner reviews say, but mask it behind reddit-im-smarter-than-you vocabulary. they usually only post it for engagement, and i feel like the whole "jazz rap slop" angle is incredibly racist in nature."
