bastard - tyler, da creator / tyler okonma
overall scores: 72
overall stars: 3.5 out of 5 stars
overall grade: C+ to B-
this is better than goblin, hands down. goblin felt like tyler pushing boundaries just for the sake of shock value, but bastard... bastard feels raw, unfiltered, and more intentional in its chaos. sure, it's messy and rough around the edges, but that’s the charm. it’s like watching a talented teenager scribble graffiti on the walls of their own mind, and ... read more
mr. morale & the big steppers – kendrick lamar
overall score: 96
overall stars: particular 5 out of 5 stars?
overall grade: A.
"this is the album from kendrick lamar that made me cry."
kendrick lamar's mr. morale & the big steppers is a raw, unfiltered dive into trauma, self-reflection, and healing. it strips away the grandiosity often found in modern rap albums and replaces it with vulnerability so profound that it feels almost intrusive to listen to. kendrick ... read more

igor – tyler, the creator
overall score: 100
overall stars: 5 out of 5 stars
overall grade: A+
from the moment igor’s theme opens with its buzzing synths and distorted vocals, it’s clear that igor is unlike anything tyler, the creator has ever made. this isn’t just an album—it’s a full-bodied, emotional experience that takes the listener on a journey through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. it’s raw yet meticulously crafted, chaotic yet beautiful. ... read more
her loss – drake & 21 savage
overall score: 65
overall stars: 3 out of 5 stars
overall grade: C
her loss is an album that feels like a missed opportunity. with two artists as big as drake and 21 savage, this could have been a well-balanced fusion of their styles, but instead, it’s mostly drake coasting while 21 savage tries to keep things interesting. the chemistry between them is hit or miss—sometimes it works (rich flex, pussy & millions), but too often, drake ... read more
just watching this and kendrick just smile to the camera while saying "say drake" is ABSOLUTELY diabolical wtf??? 😭😭😭
