yo tks!
Okay so I do like a lot of this, excited to see what you do next.
Great production, a lil basic in a few spots but 99% of its good.
Dont love the vocal preformances, a lot of its just feels different to be different and doesnt settle into the sound or is just a little offbeat.
Lyricially its not great, which I think hurts with how exposed you let the vocals be, with the limited adlibs and less noisy instrumentals their left being exposed on just not strong ending lines
Now the big ... read more
I really do like Rockys attitude and delivery. In a world of so many rappers are tryna be the best, he just feels so relaxed and like hes tryna do his vibe justice with a lil charisma, but he doesnt feel like a tryhard. His "dr seus" type rhymes arent the most complex, but its works so well, its just lulls you so well. Not a bad moments on this album. Super good production that doesnt really feel like it overpowers the soft lull ever which is great.
88->92 peakkk
Okay i think this gonna by my last sosa project for a minute but it was fun. Out of the projects I listened to this the one that feels the most like Finally Rich in vibe( even ignoring that i dont like is on it, it just sounds the most like it) Vocals are mixed great, beats are great. Its very consistant, I dont think it has as many heights as on finally rich but its a very good album with a lot of aura. Definately worth a listen if you a sosa fan
I guess im just going through keefs stuff now. HOLYYYY HIS AURA. Ive praised keef mic presence and how he defines tracks, but this like seriously cold. Like i really feel like keefs standing their ready to end me with a drill beat in the background. its just so indescribebly dark and hard.
The run from paper->wheres waldo is so elite, and while the rest doesnt live up to that consistantly its still great. Love the energy of the beats a lot, keefs adlibs are also greattt
Slightly inconsistent tracklist, it feels pretty loosely assembled I didnt feel much of a connection between tracks besides being a lil dreamy in spots.
But Q is a reall standout mc, he really takes control of the track
His vocal tone helps really well complete the lil dreamy vibe on instrumentals like ohio and blueslides. He also has command to take over and feel like a boss on thing like Thank god 4 me.
I do think their are a few too many tracks that feel a bit meaningless and rambly, ... read more
40->50 eh its a but better than i said ok but boringggg
edit 2: 50->36 nah actually nah
og:
thought it was pretty alright up through still prevail, everything after that kinda sucked
production has gotten sooooooooo dull, flows are so repetitive and it really shows with the less interesting beats. Gunna just an mc offers not enough variety wise, he sound fine but it feels so samey when he doesnt have a top tier beat to ride on.
I like neck on a yacht, wassam, back in the a, and the ... read more
Super high highs but its a mixed bag.
First positives, love the production, beats are great mostly and all pretty interesting. Eminen hooks are pretty entertaining, while a bit annoying his preformance of them wins me over a good amount o the time.
Ems got a great pen, can't not appreciate his rhyme schemes and solid storytelling.
Butt mannnn.
🌽Punchlines are soooo dumb. Especially when its surrounded by ems goofy asf adlibs.
Em also relies a bit too much in the "staccato flow" ... read more
i like vertino a lot. Ninja Mans also pretty great.
good production but idk, i just didnt find it that interesting consistantly. Conway felt less interesting as an mc, didnt care for his writing:(
edit: so conways preformances just feel so dialed in, like yeah conways talented but hes not the most expressive rapper of all time, and lyricially he felt kinda stuck, this over an hour just made it feel all a little meaningless.
I do think the beats and sampling saved a lot of these songs because ... read more
Bro i feel like this was plugged into chat gpt, and they asked "ski mask song" its so nothing.
hooks even worse on another listen 55->45
The demons just got pulled out from my soul by keef
86->89
also yeam idc if this is a bad take lemme have my hype
Full review now that its been a lil: Chief just has some indescribable aura and its sooooo cool. You always know when hes in a track, he can just repeat one word and its the collest thing ever, impeccable mic presence, he makes any beat work.
Now lets talk about that, Beats are AMAZING, super dark or just hard. They fit what sosa tryna do so well.
Features are all amazing, who ... read more
Really unfortunate their is homophobic/transphobic writing in here
Besides that this album is a really fun and exciting experience that I think deserves the honorary title of "The drill die lit
Wanted to do a gunna album before tonight. Thought this wasnt terrible but felt a lil one trick pony and the pony sometimes misses that one trick. Lyrically gunna offers little, but i wasnt really expecting much there. He picks solid enough flows that I think are enjoyable and I think he has good chemistry with his features but for the most part they did outshine him.
Production wise I honestly just did not like this as much as i needed to for an mc that doesnt offer much. trap beats felt ... read more
Very fun, as opposted to finally rich this projects dark aura feels less untamed and more controlled in how he uses it, but I still like it a lot. Great heights throughouts this tracklist with most of the beats being super hard. Just the production in general fits what keef tryna do so well its so fun.
Keef just sounds like a villain on a mission. and its so cool. Some songs are set up to be weaker but keefs aura somehow wins out. A few songs i didnt dislike but i felt did end a bit prematurely ... read more
There are some things about this album that i absolutely despise about this album, so ill say what I like first.
Flows are a lot more natural than revival, Eminem has some fun self aware writing and channel his anger pretty well into his writing.
Now for the problems. Brooooo why tf does this album exist a "comeback album" is the stupidest concept ever just make better music. Eminem got lucky that he got immortalized and people still care he drops 20 years into his career, its fine ... read more

Dawg i just listened to a robot rap on RapBeat.mp3
WTF ARE THESE FLOWS
WTF ARE THESE HOOKS
WTF ARE THESE BARS
WHERE TF IS THE SELF AWARENESS
(fr you cant go around saying all these bad words with no self awareness or its just. weird?)
Untouchable is one of the worst executed pieces of conscious rap ive ever heard, good message i guess.
And why tf is he so mad the new gen doesnt like him thats stupid. Like you of all people should know that young kids dont want to follow the same ... read more
Edit: 44->50 Yo so honestly, i do like this sound mkre than i gave it credit.
Im actually really curious were he will go creatively because his aesthetic is so inique, i do see a talent and i want to keep following where 4batz goes
OG: Industry plant and all irdgaf so many good artists are industry plants, so i gave this a fair chance.
This album has one big problem. I entered this tape and left with the same question, Who is 4batz? 4batz just lack identity as an artist, and some artist ... read more
FreePalestine
This came from Macklemore?????
I usually think its corny to be this obvious lyricially but for what hes tryna accomplish its a strength.
Love the passion and energy also.

Hollllly his vocals are so much more engaging, and so much less theater kid than recovery, but genuinely self aware and kinda funny(he legitmiately does a yoda accent lmfao). Makes for a much easier listen
Hooks are a lot more consise and dont go out of Eminems abilities nearly as much as recovery.
His rhyme schemes are pretty impressive throughout here but this is the first album of eminems lyrical miracle era so there are some REALLY dumb bars to fit those schemes
Something a lil ... read more

"@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."
