SiR - HEAVY
55

Cool rn&b, doesnt really settle in one aesthetic or commit to being weird so its in a weird middle ground, but nonetheless I still enjoyed. The features he grabbed here were amazing and a welcome pace changer. I enjoyed sirs lyrics.
Its didn't try to be more than it was and I think that worked at pretty well with some really creative spots and a super chill and enjoyable listen but not anything special

Future - WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU
50

We Still Don't trust you eh? Lets just state it here Future is not a good singer. There are some moments that are like HORRENDOUS but future got such a good natural voice its usually tolerable. Metros production is solid but definitely not anything above average from him, and Future struggled to stay on pace with some of the beats.
Disk 2 is a bit better and has some cool flows from fut.
Feature wise Abel and Rocky killed its and the rest were fine. The only feature I had a problem with was J. ... read more

Chief Keef - DIRTY NACHOS
60

Super messily put together, but it's keef hes just fun, there were a few songs I liked a lot. the tags and trapaholics was a lil funny but it got annoying. Mixed bag

Travis Scott - ASTROWORLD
75

update 92->82 its really grew off me I dont know:( og review below

Travis discog dive part 3: I went into this thinking "no way he tops rodeo" but im happy to say i think he did. One of very few albums that I can say this about but this scratches the same itch of an old kanye album, specifically this feels a lot like graduation and thats crazyyy. It really felt like travis was reaching for the stars(astros or some bad joke) and he actually reached it. Just like kanye he isnt ... read more

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
90

Review #100!:(we'll be back to travis dive after this btw)I wanted to do an album that meant something to me for the 100th review so I revisited Man on the Moon and happy to say its still great.
This album just feel like cudis holding you tight from whats coming at you, and its so heartwarming. Cudi is always able to make me feel some type of emotion here. Cudi singing always compliments his rapping and prevents him from ever feeling to monotone. Solo dolo still makes me feel something and I ... read more

Travis Scott - Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight
60

travis discog dive part 2:good peaks but inconsistant, I found compared too rodeo this album didnt leave me nearly as entranced. Like i lowkey felt like lost in the elements of rodeo, they were a few moments that really snapped me out of that on here.
The features on here are great and kept me from being bored on this album but Travis felt a little too one note in some spots and I dont think his presence felt strong enough to carry some songs. His lyricism was pretty solid, and I thought his ... read more

Travis Scott - Rodeo
85

Travis Scott Discog Dive Pt1:(i might go to days before rodeo after i finish this but im jus doing his studio albums for now)
The mixing and vocals are some of the most tasteful ive ever seen in a trap album, and the production is amazing.
Every features feels so purposeful. Travis's lyricism while not the most complex feels so impactful especially with the vocal effects and autotune leaving the echo, on "Oh my dis side" i especially loved travis's preformance. Travis isnt afraid to ... read more

Lil Wayne - How to Love
85

This one of those songs thats walks the line soooooooooo close to being so incredibly corny, but I think wayne made it out unscathed.
Waynes not a good singer, but I honestly think that works for this song in showing his true emotion, and it really help the sentiment spread, love this song for just how heartfelt and real it feels.

Cordae - The Lost Boy
70

Before getting into the real review il talk about my biggest problem.
One of the worst cases of logic syndrome ive ever seen, cordae kinda just takes a lot from others and its painfully obvious, sometimes it hurts a LOT and sometimes he gets away with it not feeling to derivative.
This is kinda like a chance the rapper project for a good portuon of the project in the general sounds and ways the tracks flow, but instead of being defined by heartfelt performances and charisma its defined by ... read more

$uicideboy$ - I Want to Die in New Orleans
40

I wanted to like this so much but it just didnt work for me, whenever I did like on of their other verses the other members veered in a direction I didnt like
The f*ck the industry edgy doesnt really work for me in my opinion and comes off more preformative and just like an aesthetic. Lyricially I didnt connect with much in here when I did listen. Lastly just idk about the vocal effects, i get thats the whole thing that makes them the standout but its too much.
They aren't good singers either ... read more

Concrete Boys - It's Us Vol. 1
60

Lots of fun and I loved the jazzy production, Some bad punchlinds and iffy verses prevent this from being truly great but its really fun for what it is. Sadly as much as I love karrahbooo, but her voice is different than the others and I dont think she was implemented to well in how this project was sequenced and shook up the song in a way that messed up the mood ig, although i did like her preformances
very fun album though thats scatter brained but i love all these rappers and how their ... read more

100

One of the rawest and craziest preformed albums of all times. Its so easy to attatcj yourself to kurts emotions because they feel so real, this is so iconic for a reason this is an AMAZING album

Kamasi Washington - Dream State
97

throughly enjoyed this, cant beleive ive came around to this direction for andre but ay i love it

Frank Ocean - Blonde
95

Okay it took me a while to admit but this is better than channel orange. Beautiful vocals great lyrics. Franks way of expressing his emotions is so great White Ferarri can bring me to tears. Near flawless album absolutely love this.

Lil Wayne - Bless
55

I dont love autotune wayne, it works okay here I guess

100 gecs - 1000 gecs
69

Call me Marvin Gaye cause What's Going On?

Ray Vaughn - Problems
75

Really enjoyed pusha's verse but I wish it was longer, Ray didnt live up to pusha's verse but he didnt do bad either.

Tyler, The Creator - Cherry Bomb
65

Tyler discog dive p4:
??? this album is legitimately wtf core and I kinda love it is is so fun.

mixing the vocals of this album are trash(which is a shame cause i see some vocal moments that coulda been cool)but idk it doesnt take away too much for me.
The title track is also atrocious let's just be honest

This whole album feels like its having an identity crisis, and part of me loves that. Like how does this album go from "run" to "find your wings"? Tylers clearly trying ... 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"

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."
