First Brent album, vocals are good as always, he just really needs to find a production style that works and really sticks the landing. other side got me grooving into another DIMENSION.
First time listening all the way through with the Estate Sale, and I’M BUYING IT NAME YOUR PRICE
This album is really dang good, I mean there’s so much i like about this album, so here’s a heavily refined version of my track to track thoughts:
SIR BAUDELAIRE: good intimidating intro, love the horns.
CORSO: good tone setter for the alter-ego, layered with flexes, as this is what this album is essentially) , fun flows, and that signature underbelly of authenticity from ... read more
My first Radiohead album, and although it may not be sunshine and rainbows, it sure is a good one.
I love the progression on all the songs, It reminds me of why I love Discovery so much, both as a thing to do and the Daft Punk album. Most songs on this album can be described as beautiful, and when I say most, I'm talking about Bodysnatchers, which is my least favourite, but it's mainly because I don't like rock as a genre that much, and Faust Arp which is too short. I also feel ... read more
uhhh, BLACK BRITISH MUSIC might be peak???
This song instantly hooked me in with that intro, which on my first listen JUMPSCARED me, and sometimes still does today, but I'm never angry because this song IS SOOO GOOOD. I love how the sample is woven into Jim’s flow, similar to “I Love You, I Hate You” by Little Simz. The beat is one of my favourites from last year, filled TO THE BRIM with energy and personality, which can be also said about the lyrics.
Anyways, I really ... read more
This swept into my rotation over the last two weeks, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. This perfectly captures how someone can help you out of a slump and lift you up. Every element from the bass to the drums feels cleansing to the SOUL. This song always puts a smile on my face when listening to it, heck, I’m smiling while listening to it while reviewing it!
Also ty for 10 followers y’all! I really appreciate that we can share a common passion for music!
A rap album with all the feels, this is some HEAT the production HAS NO MISSES ARGUE TO THE WALL. The flows from JID are IMPECCABLE. The topics discussed and storytelling alongside that reinforce this rating, especially 2007 which was so vivid in my head, and was topped off with a beautiful message from Cole. This album may as well be a crack sandwich because I’m ADDICTED FOREVER.
My favourite feature gotta go to Wayne on Just In Time, the flow has got me GROOVING. My favourite song has ... read more
My favourite peggy song. THE BEAT AHHHHH I LOVE IT SO MUCH every time I listen to it, my mood is INSTANTLY lifted. Peggy is Emotionally and Unapologetically honest on this. This song deserves all the love letters it receives.
Undeniable banger. EsDeeKid’s scouser accent and rhyming scheme brings a very unique and infectious sound to the album, but what works best is wraith9’s production. Every single beat BAAANGS, though Dirty and Panic are close from being ok. The features kill it, especially Fimiguerrero on Tartan, which is a very close second to 4 Raws, a perfect intro which sets the vibes for the album perfectly.
Overall, I’m hoping for the best for EsDee’s career because he has a great ... read more
This fits the black british music vibe really well, really catchy, simple but nicely layered production with the little audio tidbits in the background, and the expected HEAVENLY vocals from Jim. He better have a legxacy or I’M just gonna get aggressive.
I went out and listened to this on a whim, as I had already listened to Sir Duke and Isn't She Lovely, which I enjoyed thoroughly. And I'm aware that this album has been given its bouquets time and time over, just judging by the score. But why not again. This album is so freaking GOOOOD. the astounding different instruments incorporated throughout its runtime is impressive on its own. However to add on the lyrics are powerful, but they wouldn't even have to be as good as they are ... read more
Yachty is so fun on this and thundercat js does his stuff to make a funky ass single and a promising single with an album with A POSTHUMOUS MAC FEATURE?!?!!?! AND ROCKY?!?!?!?!?! This is going to be goooood
I don’t think I was the intended audience for lil hero, but nonetheless, I am hooked. This is such a fun ass album that I genuinely and just ashamed that it’s 16 minutes, because I WANT MORE!!! The songs are catchy and addicting and the vocals fit the vibes perfectly. Needless to say, I will wait patiently for the next release from her.
now THIS is experimental hip-hop if i’ve ever heard it. I’ve never listened to an injury reserve album but I enjoyed this. I think some sounds worked a lot better than others, but overall I’m excited to see the direction these two take next.
I like the instrumental buildup, but like i’m wanting a little more oomph out of it yk? Hopefully there’s more singles of similar if not higher quality before the album releases. Vibes are immaculate regardless
idk this guy doesn't do much for me, as voice is such an important factor in me enjoying an artist, and he didn't do it for me. It was constant feeling of "is there going to be another sound? "as it needed some extra oomph to it. Denzel's charisma carries this with pure charisma from it being blander, with Peggy producing this and not even rapping furthering the "meh" that I feel from this. Lyrics were fine.
This is the most simple good album ever made. if someone gives this a listen and tell me they don't like a single track off of it, I will comically fall over attempting to punch them, creasing my ankles and my Jordans that don't even fit me anymore, which will lead to an extremely justified arrest, because it will be on sight.
Anyways really good album the progression is amazing❤️
FOREWORD:
the "8 years for this" people are so dismissive of the fact that it prolly took 1-2 years, as the leaked versions were scrapped. However I can also acknowledge the fact that they had to wait longer, as my gap tooth ahh was NOT listening to Rocky in 2018, so it's a perspective that I can't understand fully. but please those two people who were getting harassed do not deserve this and are entitled to their opinions are so is everyone else on the site and DON'T ... read more
