These guys found an insane pocket of accordion trap. Its so hard
Raw thoughts
First 5 track run is Drakes best music in years
Rapping Drake is so much better than singing Drake
Unnecessary beat switches (national treasure) are the worst thing in music history. Why would you add a whole nothing burger half to a genuinely good song
21 savage has been trash for too long to just be in bad form. He’s officially an unc and garbage in 2026
Little Birdie is straight buns son
Best Drake project since Her Loss
Wu and Nas ran the east coast I dont get the Biggie and Jay Z hype
45 years of rap in and Wu tang still remains the only artist to make a great 100 plus minute album
This reminds me of my Abbey Road listen. Came into this with a hater mindset but after two songs I realized there it was time to take that loss. Absolute genius throughout the entire runtime, no weaknesses. Pure class
Don continues his streak of making background music albums with a few occasional bangers. Have no idea why this was called Octane because 80% of it were laid back or low energy. Songs like Opposite showed what this album could've been if he actually tried. Basically the exact same thing with Tore Up on Hardstone Psycho
Can't believe I was so late to this Half Blood gotta be one of the great rage mixtapes oat
This is genuinely sad I can’t make it halfway through a 21 savage album without falling asleep. After releasing one of the all time great trap projects in Savage Mode 2 he’s devolved to only being capable of rapping in his abc who’s with me flow. The features are all trash minus young nudy and theres nothing worth revisiting.
Tried to listen months ago and called it unlistenable. Saw him live and I get it now
