Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
95

Imagine if one of the biggest music critics on the internet gave this like a 6, that would be crazy

This album is just a really big middle finger from Kanye, but the finger is blessed by god. No bad songs here, although I used to hate Hell Of A Life, every song's production is absolutely flawless, and Lost In The World is one of the greatest things I've heard.

Favs: Dark Fantasy, POWER, All Of The Lights, Monster, So Appalled, Devil In A New Dress, Lost In The World

Least Favs: Runaway

Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust
79

Back to punk, just like everyone wanted

While I did kind of enjoy MANIA, this is a huge step up and their best album in about 10 years. Love From The Other Side set really high expectations being the lead single, and I had fears it was gonna be the best on the album. I was right, but some of the songs gave it a run for its money. Little inconsistent, but the highs are worth it.

Favs: Love From The Other Side, Hold Me Like A Grudge, Fake Out, I Am My Own Muse, Flu Game, So Much (For) ... read more

Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy
78

Some of these songs made me float

Despite the short length, this is a tiny bit inconsistent. I Saw sounds like he sang while the whole damn microphone was in his mouth, but songs like Geronimo making me float and giving me cum cums in my tum tum. Gets a little worse as the album goes on, but still really good.

Favs: Drum, Geronimo, Be Your Lady

Least Favs: I Saw

Kanye West - Donda
67

Kinda worth the hype

Really inconsistent, if this was just like the best 10 songs on the album it would have been so much better, but now we have songs like Tell The Vision. Starts really strong and then just dips in quality and becomes good again for a song or two.

Favs: Jail, Off The Grid, Hurricane, 24, Moon, Heaven and Hell, Jesus Lord, Come To Life

Least Favs: Ok Ok, Tell The Visions, All the Part 2s (Should have put these in the deluxe)

Run The Jewels - RTJ4
97

Ok these guys are the next Outkast

This wipes every other album they've made. It feels like a more enjoyable good kid m.a.a.d city, every song connects and they sound good on their own too. The whole thing is a damn movie, the storytelling is incredible, I don't think another rap album will top this for the decade.

Favs: Yankee and the brave, Ooh La La, Out of Sight, Walking In The Snow, JU$T, Never Look Back, Pulling The Pin, A Few Words For The Firing Squad

Least Favs: Never Look Back

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 3
85

It's a tiny step down from RTJ2, but it's still fucking amazing

The track transitions are incredible and this feels like a movie. The songs are consistently great, the production is slightly worse than RTJ2 but still amazing, and it's still really refined. Only complaint is there aren't as many highs on RTJ3 as their last record.

Favs: Talk To Me, Legend Has It, Thieves!, 2100

Least Favs: Oh Mama

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels 2
89

Holy shit this was everything the first album was missing

The production is better, the lyrics are deeper, it's way more consistent, and the good songs on here are REALLY good. This gonna be the next Outkast if they keep making shit like this.

Favs: Jeopardy, Oh My Darling Don't Cry, Blockbuster Night Pt. 1, Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck), Early, Angel Duster

Least Favs: All My Life

Run The Jewels - Run The Jewels
81

Damn this was the start of something special

I think it’s good that they made it shorter because it sounds more refined, but there are still some songs that need to be matured. That being said, songs like Run The Jewels made me wanna go speeding in a Hennessy down Route 1 and picture myself in a Fast and Furious movie.

Favs: Run The Jewels, Banana Clipper, Sea Legs, Get It

Least Favs: Twin Hype Back

Drake - Views
55

Really boring and really long

Since If You're Reading This was pretty good, I don't blame Drake for trying RnB again, but I don't know why he decided to add more pop. Some of these songs hit, and others feel like they have no beat at all. Nevertheless it's a decent summer album but he could have really done better.

Favs: Feel No Ways, Redemption, One Dance, Too Good, Views

Least Favs: With You, Faithful, Child's Play, Summers Over Interlude

J. Cole - Friday Night Lights
85

Why the fuck isn't this on Spotify?

Honestly Cole could have just put this on streaming services instead of releasing KOD and all would be well. This is definitely his best album. Shit is somehow his longest album but most consistent, the rapping on here is really enjoyable, beats are borderline perfect, and that verse on Looking For Trouble is for sure one of his best verses.

Favs: Too Deep For The Intro, You Got It, Villematic, Blow Up, Higher, Best Friend, Home For the Holidays, See World, ... read more

J. Cole - The Off-Season
79

FINALLY COLE IS BACK

After the dumpster fire of KOD, I thought Cole's "Fall Off" would send him off a cliff but this is his best album since Born Sinner. The rapping here is so damn good, the beats are entertaining, and he gave us the best Lil Baby feature out of fucking nowhere.

Favs: 95 south, Amari, My Life, Pride Is The Devil, Let Go My Hand, The Climb Back, Close

Least Favs: 100 Mil'

J. Cole - KOD
37

Nah this sucks

This is everything that Cole shouldn't have done. I will admit, some songs like KOD are pretty catchy, but the beats are so damn boring it's hard to stay interested. Most of this is pretty overrated, like 1985 and ATM, dope album cover tho.

Favs: KOD, Once an Addict

Least Favs: Photograph, ATM, FRIENDS, 1985

J. Cole - 4 Your Eyez Only
59

Hey tried to be deep, and fucked it up for the most part

Most of this is pretty boring, but that closer hits hard. But it could have been worse and it seems like he is just trying different styles.

Favs: Immortal, Deja Vu, Change, 4 Your Eyes Only

Least Favs: For Whom The Bell Tolls, Foldin' Clothes, She's Min

J. Cole - 2014 Forest Hills Drive
71

Too much forgettable shit

The highs on this album are insanely good, Wet Dreamz is a top 5 Cole song and Love Yourz is a top 10 Cole song. But songs like St. Tropez, Hello, and Note to Self I just can't vibe with. I feel like if he cut this down to 10 songs or less it would be better.

Favs: Wet Dreamz, '03 Adolescence, G.O.M.D, No Role Models, Love Yourz

Least Favs: Intro, January 28th, St. Tropez, Hello, Note To Self

J. Cole - Born Sinner
83

Cole's best album

Very few misses, fantastic production, this is what the sideline story should have been. The deluxe version also makes this 10 times better just adding to the album no skip songs. Crooked Smile and Let Nas Down are both top 10 Cole songs.

Favs: Land of The Snakes, Power Trip, Trouble, She Knows, Rich N*ggaz, Forbidden Fruit, Crooked Smile, Let Nas Down, Born Sinner

Least Favs: Runaway

J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story
69

Not bad, but Cole could have done better.

It's not inconsistent, it's just really really radio friendly. Which is fine if the songs sound good, but sometimes we get Cole saying that he can't "outfart" us. Also it's a little worse considering he went from Friday Night Lights to this.

Favs: Lights Please, Mr. Nice Watch, Lost Ones, Nobody's Perfect, Rise and Shine

Least Favs: Work Out

DaBaby - CALL DA FIREMAN
13

The Repo Reaper really putting food on Dababy's table

Lil Yachty - Let's Start Here.
88

How on earth did yachty go from Broccoli to this?

This feels like if a MBDTF Kanye and Pink Floyd had a baby who was really into LSD. Songs here are fucking beautiful and The Black Seminole alone gives this like 20 points.

Favs: The Black Seminole, The Ride, Drive Me Crazy, Should I B?, The Alchemist

Least Favs: Paint The Sky

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation
82

Well time to review probably one of six albums Gizz is gonna drop this year

People always say quality over quantity, but this band somehow does both. The atmosphere in these songs make me wanna go burn down the world with my neighbor's dog. I really can't describe it, this album is just fucking awesome.

Favs: Supercell, Witchcraft, Dragon, Flamethrower

Least Favs: Converge

JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES
84

Why is this good

This sounds like Jpeg and Danny decided to shit into the microphones, but it's like the shit was blessed by god. My ears hate everything about this but it's still somehow enjoyable. This is what Yeezus should have been.

Favs: Lean Beef Patty, Garbage Pale Kids, Burfict!, Kingdom Hearts Key, HOE

Least favs: Run The Jewels
