Goo goo ga ga feed me your music Lil Nas X.
Lil Nas X is a figure who's been in the media more and more, to the point where he's become less musician, and more influencer. And while he might have started out in an "old" media (music), he's been inching closer and closer towards becoming a legitimate threat for popular influencers online.
To put it lightly, he's like Jake Paul, but if Jake Paul was a decent human being, and actually made good music. Speaking of which...

Thanks for the present Quadeca, sorry I didn’t bring you anything.
Quadeca is an artist I’ve been following ever since I got into KSI about a year back. Quad made a diss, and in exchange so did KSI. But I always thought that Quadeca would stay in his little YouTube rapper bubble, and make music that was adored by his fans, but was, in reality, quite mediocre.
Well, I was wrong. And I couldn’t be gladder. So, let’s get into the review.
The lead singles for this album ... read more
Not bad?
KSI is a personality I've been following for awhile now, and when I heard some singles off his last album, and compared them to the singles prior to release, I thought that this album would be much better. Well, that was dumb. I'm kind of disappointed. I mean it's better but, honestly, isn't really doing much for me.
This album is like that Drake album, Scorpion: it's bloated. I know, right, that sounds crazy it's only 16 tracks long, but KSI has various bland pop cuts, with very few ... read more
Billie Eilish presents: FINNEAS feat. Billie Eilish.
Honestly, I'm not a big Billie Eilish fan. Don't get me wrong, I can see she's talented, and has some great writing ability, but I'm not going to call her the best artist of all time. She can make a good track, but she's not putting out hits every track she makes. But this is a good track.
I mean, I have absolutely no clue what she's saying, but it's a banger. Eilish uses autotune at some points to highlight her vocals (though, these kind ... read more
STAY IN MY EARS CHILD LAROI AND BABY MAN.
I'm not going to lie, I like LAROI. I even liked "Without You" which didn't get much love here, but I really liked it. This track is something that's getting me excited about his new project. From what little I've listened to by him, he's a competent songwriter who has great vocal ability. But onto this review.
First off, we've got LAROI. His vocals are absolutely amazing, and very, very clearly shine on this track. The songwriting is so-so, ... read more
Anybody giving this a bad review has bad LOGIC. GET IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO FUNNY.
No, but really, this track is great. I don't understand why it gets all the hate it has been getting. It's by no means perfect, and definitely doesn't do anything new, but it has a great hook and beat. Honestly, those were the main things that were good about 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind', the beats and the hooks (sometimes), which is why I can understand why people are comparing this track to the album: ... read more
'Highest in the Room' was the first Travis Scott single that gave me chills. Like literal chills. As in, my entire body was so affected by this song, that it had a physical reaction. That was awesome.
Travis Scott is an artist that I have grown to like more and more. At first, I thought that his music was chaotic and crazy, and didn't realize how a person could actually like this. I mean, his voice is so strange, and while the production is great, Travis' voice ruins it. That is, until I heard ... read more
Wait a minute? This is NAV?
I haven't heard much from NAV, just a few of his newer singles, and they have some decent production, but NAV IS JUST SO DAMN BORING.
Every song I've listened to with or by him, NAV sounds like a robot. He repeats his flows for four bars and then another fours bars, and then does the same thing until the song is over. Listening to a NAV song is like listening to what an AI thinks rap music is. The generic lyrics about the sex he's having, guns, jewelry, etc. with ... read more
I would rename this song to car crash. Get it? Because Cars swerve, but this song is terrible.
JAY1 has the most boring hook of all time, and is carried by the beat, which is quite minimalistic, and relies on the rapper to be good.
He sounds like Tion Wayne, without any emotion. He sounds like 21 Savage, but if 21 had a British accent and a deeper voice. He just sounds like he's trying so hard to not try.
The beat is minimalistic, and honestly, can be quite good for certain rappers. I just ... read more
I'm going to be honest, I cam here for Drake.
I had no clue who Brent Faiyaz even was before this, but he gives me SZA vibes. His singing is high pitched and blends together beautifully and his harmonies are beautiful. I don't even care what he says, because his voice is so beautiful, and his production is too.
Y'all ever heard elevator music? This is that, but if had a beat. Brent's beautiful singing on top of this makes this song so smooth. Like, 'Leave the Door Open' by Anderson Paak and ... read more
This wasn't scary 0/100.
No, but seriously, Drake delivers a pretty nice little EP-an appetizer-before his Certified Lover Boy Main course that will (hopefully) be coming out before August, and will (again, HOPEFULLY) be better than his last album, Scorpion. I don't care if we get another Views.
Anyways, onto the the review:
What's Next:
That beat is amazing! The flowy nature of said beat makes Drake sound off-beat in a way that isn't irritating. Even though you can hear Drake being on beat ... read more
Ed Sheeran is like if talent and lack thereof had a baby called mediocrity.
He has some of the best production I have heard in pop, and has a pretty decent voice, but his songwriting, despite its "highs", just doesn't seem that great. At its best (Shape of You), Ed can tell a cohesive story about picking up a girl at a pub, and having the sexy times. But here, Ed shows his inability to even make sense.
Production:
As stated earlier, I think that Ed has some of the best production ... read more
This song is just kind of meh.
Flo Milli:
Nothing is really wrong with Milli's rapping. It's bratty and annoying (in the good way), but the end of her verses have a very weird flow, which kind of ruins them for me. There really isn't much that's interesting here, but it's great for Milli, and the verses in general, along with the Outro and Interlude.
Kenny:
Next up, we have Kenny's beat. I think that this beat is great. Kenny in general is exceptional. His UNLOCKED project with Denzel Curry ... read more
I heard this song yesterday. Became an earworm. I like it.
Before the review:
I don't think that I've ever said this publicly, but I'm a huge KSI fan. I've watched tons of his videos and listened to most of the tracks off Dissimulation. I've seen him grow as an artist just as his track 'Houdini' dropped. I can't be bothered to do a proper review of 'Houdini', but to keep it easy and simple: great track, but the Tion Wayne feature is underwhelming.
Anyways, the consensus I got from KSI's ... read more
EEEEEEEGORE is an album. I think it's pretty good.
Here's a review:
IGOR'S THEME:
This is somehow the most earwormy of these tracks. Sometimes, you don't even know what Tyler, Solange and Uzi (yes, he's here) are saying, but you don't care. The vocals are magnificent, and bring listeners into the world of IGOR. Points deducted because Uzi says the same thing WAY too many times.
8/10
EARFQUAKE:
This is a weird love song. Tyler sings intentionally badly, but not only does this make the song ... read more
This track has G R O O V E
In dissimilarly, with previous songs by the man straight out of Compton, the message of this song becomes obvious within the first chorus. I like it. Speaking of which...
Beat:
It's a simple beat throughout the song, but as the piano comes in later as Kendrick goes off, this beat goes HARD.
10/10
Chorus:
The chorus of King Kunta is groovy, simple, and to the point. Kendrick delivers his message of his superiority by simply saying "Now I run the game (rap ... read more
UNLOCKED it too hard to spell, so I'll use Unlocked, aight?
Unlocked is a collaboration by Mr. Denzel Curry, and Kenny Beats. While I was quite surprised by the direction Denzel took when making this project, I think that it is quite good, with a few duds here and there.
Track 01:
This song is essentially an interlude with a short verse from Denzel. A nice verse nonetheless. The interlude sets the theme and vibe up quite well. Wish Denzel had rapped more, though.
7/10
Take_It_Back_v2:
The ... read more
Beyoncé is too hard to spell, so Imma use B, aight?
B made possibly one of the the best tracks I've heard. There are some weird parts, but it's still great nonetheless:
Refrain:
I think that B has a bad rap voice. At the beginning of the refrain, at least. She sounds depressed and sad. I would give this a lower score, but the end of the refrain makes up for it. This is energy. The delivery is clean, and rough. The rapping in between is the best part of this, by far! The singing at the ... read more
Avalanche is probably the worst name for this track. With that said. DAMN, this is good.
Quavo:
The verse here is simple, it's nice, a little wacky, but the good kind. There's bars about a girl's fake booty, and about the fact it's her choice. Made me smile. This is a nice chill verse from the guy, and it's a good direction after the mixed reception of Culture II and his pretty decent verse off Straightening.
7/10
Offset:
Offset's verse comes out of nowhere, and his voice surprises you. ... read more
Eh?
I feel that this song is like the definition of mediocre. Like not bad. Not good. Just eh.
Travis Scott:
Travis' verse sounds pretty good. nothing to write home about, but quite good. The autotuned adlibs and interludes between Travis and M.I.A. are pretty nice, and all in all, Travis' performance asks for more. Wish that there was more energy, but I think that this is a decent verse. The Chorus, on the other hand, needs some improvement. It's kind of boring, and is okay.
Travis verse: ... read more
