This is probably about all you can expect from a sequel album made 25 years after the original. There are some standouts, but most of it is just Ghostface underperfoming over beats that aren't too great. Most of this is still enjoyable though, but im not going to be returning to most of it.
Honestly, this is a little better than I was expecting. Everyone glazing it is crazy, the fact it has a more positive top 4 reviews on here than Chromakopia is insane but it's still not terrible. All of the top 4 songs on here are really good, like 9/10 material. However, the rest of the album was varying degrees of mid. Tyler's performances across the album were kind of annoying in my opinion. The production was cool at points but at others it either didn't fit with tyler ... read more

I've been going back to this album a lot recently, so I decided to re rank the songs. In my opinion this is consistently very well produced with the exception of Live, where the second beat is lowkey terrible. Earl did great on most of the songs, though on Heavy Metal and the second half of Live his ... read more

Not too much to say about this one. It might have Boldy's best performance I've heard on Heavy rooted. The production is pretty good, though obviously it's not as good as the recent Nicholas craven collab album.
Overall around an 8.4/10.

This was very good! The production was for the most part good, although Glory hole was not well produced. Roc marciano was kind of average on most of his performances though.
Overall this is around an 8.4/10.

I dont really have much to say about this. Its great, it has amazing production, and Bloo azul is a pretty good rapper. That's about it.
Overall this is around a flat 9/10.
More of the usual from Westside gunn, though I found this a lot less boring than 12 and the production and verses were better than Heels have eyes 1. Also, the features on here were all great, my favorite was MIKE on Blow hendry.
This is pretty decent. I would not say its one of the best of the year, though it does have some very high highlights. I thought the little story skits at the beginning or end of every song were boring, uninteresting, and kind of annoying. The production was usually quite good, and the verses were alright.
Overall this is around a flat 8/10.

Overall this is around an 8.7/10.

Before I begin, I'd just like to state you had some incorrect information in your Instagram post, the only Ye album that I ever said 3.5/10 anywhere in the review for was Vultures ONE, which has no AI use on it. Also, in one of your YouTube shorts from a while ago, you showed an "ethical" way of using AI ... read more
The fact that this is nearly as boring as the most boring album I've ever listened to while being like a third of the length is genuinely insane to me. All of the production in the first half is nearly the exact same, to the point of the second song reusing the first song's insturemental just slowed down a bit. In the second half, it switches up a bit, but it's still ass, repetitive, and gets boring after about 4 cycles of the same thing. His vocals are as bad as ever, when ... read more
To me this is quite a bit better than the original alfredo. In my opinion it has far more interesting production than the original and the less frequent features worked in this album's favor in my opinion, though Larry June's was horrible. Also, this has some of the strongest performances I've ever heard from Freddie.
There's nothing that I could possibly say about this that hasn't already been said a million times. Immaculate writing, vocals, and production across the board. If I could have any complaint about this at all it would be that One time 4 your mind is quite a bit weaker than the rest of the tracks but that's about it.
My only issue with this is that I wish he hadn't just used the outro to shout out a bunch of people, I have no problem with him doing that its just the beat on the outro had a ton of potential and with a verse it would've been one of the best songs on the album. Other than that, immaculate album.

Because Supreme Clientele 2 is coming out this friday, and I've already listened to Supreme Clientele before, I figured I'd listen to this. I'd like to say that the glaze that @maddoxsmith48 gives this album is absolutely deserved and this is just as good as if not better than Supreme Clientele. The production on here is for the most part fantastic, we have an absolutely great Doom beat on Underwater, though the two Dilla beats were kind of wastes of taken beats, Hi and One for ... read more
I honestly prefer this to Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!?. My top 3 songs on here changed after basically every song, they're all so good and I think there's at least two 10/10 songs on here. Only one song is less than a 9/10 in my opinion.
