I have to be in a real specific mood to like this type of rap but when it be hitting its HITTING.
Anyways its good, theirs not really much to say about this one, cool instrumentals / samples
Lupe sounding like an asmrtist with these rhyme schemes
Okay so this was THE album i was looking forward to this year, i was confident it was going to become a contenteder for my album of the year.... And it didn't dissapoint.
Now i didnt love it first listen, but i relistened the second time now using headphones and paying a little more attention and it clicked. This is easily on par with lupes best. Rhyme schemes and flow wise on this album lupe is off the charts. One of my favorite ... read more
i woke up and really wanted to listen to dmx so here we go. Rip DMX
First things first were gonna have to adress the homophobia, its unavoidable in a dmx project. Its unfortunate and it does bring the project down, but that applies to a lot of 90s rap its just so much noticeably worse with X
Anyways
Dmx has a one of a kind voice, its so powerful. But overall I think dmx had one skill that he was unrivaled with, and that was passion. The pure raw energy and drive you feel that comes from dmx ... read more
I had not heard a single song from rich before this, but i know be been making waves so im rooting for him, good song
Kinda loved the instrumental, and trippies preformance was pretty great
I can look past it being bad lyricially.
Only thing that really hurts it for me is the song structuring is a pretty weak, coulda used another verse also
i swear ive always hated how durks voice mixes with heavy autotune
were just not gonna talk about the last 45 seconds...
( P.S. shoota came on after this, that songs never sounded better)
its a vibe, joey's verse kinda sounds like his verses on show me
Eh fuck it ill give it an 100
Lupes debut album is an absolutely stunning showcase of lyrical ability, with some of the best big name producers out their.
this is the most vibrant and just FUN lupes production has ever felt. from what ive leard. Lupes still top tier lyricially, but it feels like a balance between the production and rapping, where in efforts like Drill Music in Zion or something, the production takes a back seat to let lupe speak, Lupes rapping at a 10 and that production is ... read more
denzel seems like he really trying to break the mainstream barrier with this sound from what i hear in both these singels. theyre hard tho
Listen i like dunking on big sean as much as anyone but this ones actually good
This whole album dives deep into both Big Sean as a person and act as tribute to detroit and its culture. It has representation from faces like Stevie, Erykah Badu, and a feature from Eminem so it really feels like a full community effort that i can appreciate.
Their are a few keystone songs that really push the sense of brotherhood:
Deep Reverence was big seans tribute to Nipsey and I think it very tastefully ... read more
Yo so i was listening to Detroit 2 By BIG SEAN And i heard this bar:
"In high school I learned chemistry, biology But not how to cope with anxiety"
That bar honestly sounds like it was ripped straight out of this song lol
oh yeah songs trash (The big sean song pretty good tho)
Taking My Friends (GR) Album Reccomendations part 1:
The melodic blue, this is one I needed to check out before his album this year anyways, so happy this got me to check it out.
I know a lot of people are tryna compare him to Kendrick, but thats not really fair, baby keem hasn't done much like kendrick at all tbh.
Okay so album started and it was looking a little rough, I wasnt big on trademark usa or pink panties. Rangebrothers features kendrick and i honestly found it very ... read more
Nothing to crazy for a debut and def a little long, but i really enjoyed this. Vocally she usually kills it and her delivery is really strong. Production wise its not too special but it feels warms and powerful and gets the job done.
To push tems to the next level i think she needs to work on her pen a little and find slightly more adventurous instrumentals, but this was a good debut.

"@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"

"@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."
