It's exactly what I expected... A lyrical, stripped-down, folk project with no replay value for my personal tastes.
It began as a basic, repetitive Chicago Drill project, tha got more boring and more repetitive thought out its horrendously bloated runtime.
There are a couple bangers, but a lot of disappointing lyrical performances and similar sounds, even though the EP is less than 20 minutes long.
Though Slayr hadn’t nailed his sound by this point, it’s still an incredibly interesting and well-polished version of modern rage.
His sound is a big work in progress, but he is beginning to develop his complete own sound. It may not be leagues better than lost files, but it has a distinct sense of individualism, which I value a lot.
It's a really old version of Slayr's sound that still has a lot of room left to grow, since it's basically bad Carti right now.
Like always with Mitksi, it's good songwriting (of course, always about love and how she fucked up), but it really fails to grab my ear at any point. There is nothing interesting happening in this project, which is an immediate turn-off for me. It's not bad, just more Mitski.
There is not much better music in the world than jazz, and Hector does it so smoothly.
It's uninteresting, J. Cole has few good verses, and the album doesn't DO anything.
I don't understand the hate. I really like this more concise, fun J. Cole who focuses less on bombastic moments and emphasizes the slow moments.
In his most introspective, interesting, and digestible efforts, J. Cole proves that he has some incredible versatility and knows how to write some beautiful hip hop.
It's certainly not his best work, but the lyricism and beats have enough appeal to warrant a listen. This album is overrated and overplayed for how inconsistent it ends up being.
