'I am Iceman, I am I am Iceman'
Is probably better than half this album lol. Technically all these songs are just what Drake does normally but it doesn't really hit the same. Out of the three albums, only this one has something going for it. A couple songs on Habibti were decent but nothing worth reviewing tbh.
The main thing I check a Drake album for is the beats, given that I think he has some of the best beat selection in hip hop, especially in the 2010s. A lot of these ... read more
On first listen, very very disappointed. There are two or three tracks that I would say are good. But man, Island Holiday and Peanuts 2 An Elephant are terrible songs. This is not an in depth review but all in all, another forgettable Wayne album post-Carter 5. Such a shame as it had a great opening in Welcome To The Carter.
By far the worst Carter release.
Best Tracks: Welcome To The Carter, Banned From NO, Hip Hop (with BigXThaPlug of all people)
Worst Tracks: Island Holiday, Peanuts 2 ... read more
'Kill, Kill, Kill! Murda, Murda, Murda!' :D
Eh you know what? This album isn't that bad. I don't even think this is his worst album. However, most of the choruses are here are so stupid. You know when You Owe Me is the best chorus here that the choruses here are abysmal. Nas's second album in 1999 is his main source of criticism and it's easy to see why.
The beats are decent and what I'd expect from an average NY street rapper. However, Nas is not that, so ... read more
Who was in Paris?
These guys, cooking in almost every song here including the deluxe. To be honest, I get and don't get the disappointing reactions to this album. Yeah this is a collab between two iconic artists in hip hop and maybe should have been less focused on bling rap but none of these guys were in their prime when they made this, especially Jay. Or maybe I just enjoy the songs that no one else does.
I think the beats here are definitely a producer showcase, with obviously Kanye, ... read more
Yo Pi'erre you wanna come out here?
That's what I was asking Pi'erre in Carti's latest album because he and Carti on this album formed one of the best rapper x producer duos in modern hip hop. The amount of bounce in these Pi'erre beats and the bounce in Carti's vocals make for a fun journey, with all of these songs making you bob your head and you won't even realise it.
Carti's vocals are for sure an acquired taste but once it gets used to you, you ... read more
