JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
90

Ive been meaning to rate this one but i just havent enjoyed writing recently, so just rq,
really good lots of fun choices, exmilitary is exceptional, peggy continues an exceptional streak of projects.

Child Rebel Soldier - Shrink
72

pretty good, crs in 2024 is insane

Drake - Search & Rescue
50

I think everyone wanted to hate this one, it came out at that perfect time where everybody needed a reason to hate drake, I just dont think its that bad.
The kim kardashian thing is a gimmick and kinda dumb, and he makes some really poor vocal choices in spots, but I think its enjoyable enough that I can vibe with it

Drake - One Dance
90

Yall are free to cook me for this but this thing go hard.
Honestly nevermind is genuinely trash, but I think theirs a magic to one dance, I just can so visually picture drake drinking champagne at one of his rich douchebag parties while all of his yes men tell drake how amazing he is.

Also i think its kinda fascinating he didnt make a music video for a song with 3.2 billion streams

Quavo - FLY
69

Missed this one because of how many drops were on friday.
Im sorry quavo made a song with lenny kravitz????
Ima big quavo guy personally, i didnt expect this but i kinda fuck with it honestly its goofy

Logic - Ultra 85
65

Logic, Logic, Logic.
Logics such an interesting existence in the hiphop sphere, becuase he somehow has never felt all that culturally relevant, and he doesnt do crazy on streaming, but he also sells like a mfer and has one of the bigger rap hits of all time (1-800).

My problem historicially with logic was just how, i guess he felt really "great value" to me? Like hes always beem doing a lot of thing similar to the greats, hes clearly really good at rapping, and hes doing a lot right, ... read more

Benny the Butcher - Summertime Butch
55

Butch comes back 6 months after the solid but not crazy everbody cant go.
Summertime butch is a 24 minute safe but fun project with solid flows and vibes from benny. This project lacks the highs of everbldy cant go, but its a very consistent and concise project, perfectly enjoyable in the background summer vibes.

Id say its at its best in the last 3 tracks for me
The verses on "the blue building" are kinda awesome, loved that, didnt love the feature on the hook sadly. Last 2 songs ... read more

Polo G - HOOD POET
55

Polos def a lil overrhated on this site. Hes not the most versatile rapper, but hes got one of the best voices in the rap scene and pretty damn solid introspective writing.
Polos in a pretty weird spot career wjse because of hall of fame, which while a flawed album I think is also a bit overhated, but polo had to make a big impression on this album for a lot of people. For me he did that pretty well.

Mixing is iffy and theirs some repetitive beats, but id rather talk positive

Lyricially polo ... read more

Logic - Teleport
60

Logic does feel genuine, i like the instrumental, but i just dont think it really works that well.

Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
45

Lupe is one of my favorite artist of all time, and I do feel bad he never got that mainstream recognition, but lasers definately wasnt the way too do it.

Positives wise, lupes reallllly smooth flow and delivery wise and I wouldnt say his writing isnt much worse, his rapping is never the reason the tracks fail.

But holllllly fuck is this cheezy and aged like trash. Really 3 mdma features? trey songz??? The beats feel so 2010 its painful.

Now this albums bad but we got two shining songs in ... read more

Kanye West - Diamonds From Sierra Leone Remix
100

Ive heard so many people say they prefer the version without Jay and im thinking theyve gotta be smoking something, this legit might be my favorite jay verse ever:

"I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man"

"People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin’
Instead we rose up from the ash like a phoenix"

Wiz Khalifa - Baby Girl On The Way
68

i lowkey was vibing while this was on, pretty great rapping preformance

Mike WiLL Made-It - high3r
48

Yachtys voice doesnt really work on this type of instrumentals.
Weezy carries on the vibe yachty kinda made but bad autotune and some bad vaccine bars make its not work.

And the beats pretty stagnant.

KITSCHKRIEG - Slow Down
50

I umm.... idk how to feel about this one.

Big Sean - On Up
73

cute lil sample, better than the first single

Polo G - We Uh Shoot
78

Durk went so much harder than I thought he would lfg.

Kinda excited for the album with this one

On Joey Bada$$ - 1999
"@B307 ithink i see what you mean, mix isnt something that you really affect my personal listening experience unless its genuinely trash like on jik but i can hear what youre saying on here. Yeah pennyroyals def high school shit, the songs less about the breakup itself and more about how joey struggles to process it because he doesnt really understand what she meant to him, again high school shit, but i think theirs a power to that youthful energy when it forced to be humbled, i guess i see it relatable in like a high schoolish way"

On Joey Bada$$ - 1999
"@B307 ty! been meaning to check out liquid sqords, so yeah ill prolly review that soon! I generally think steez and joey always had a lot more emotional presence and their passion shined through in ways I dont see in some other boombap rappers. 1999 addresses from multiple directions of joeys mindset. I feel like you can really here joeys passion on hardknock, his denial of his heartbreak in pennyroyal is so relatable, his drive on survival tactics rivals people like nas. And i think thats griselda literally biggest problem, westside gunn is so immensly talented, but I feel like he always raps in the same exact way, I know who westside gunn is as a rapper, but I dont feel that inner motivation that makes him tick as a person."
