Rap

  • Alfredo – Freddie Gibbs & Alchemist

    Great album, second listen – already love a lot of the songs. Simple one here – Freddie at his best and Alchemist showing why he is one of the best producers of all time. Favorite songs: 1985, God Is Perfect, Scottie Beam, Frank Lucas, Baby $hit, Babies & Fools, Skinny Suge Continue reading

  • Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight – Travis Scott

    Travis Scott. The controversial. The man named Jacque. The shortest 5’10 man on the planet. The Kardashian associate. The bystander. The man who worked with Kanye on Yeezus, only to turn around and rap the following lines on this album: Sprinkle a little season on the saladRelieve my heart of malice, hit my palaceStroke my Continue reading

  • Some Rap Songs – Earl Sweatshirt

    I’m not sure if I’ve just grown less fond of earls style, but this one didn’t hit as hard as some previous earl releases. The raps are great, but I think his delivery has just lost its luster with me a bit. Beats fantastic as usual. Firmly ‘not for me but maybe for you’. Favorite Continue reading

  • Niagara -Redveil

    While I really enjoyed Redveils most recent project, and deeply respect him for being a fantastic rapper/producer, listening to this album after PG Baby really illustrates how much better his recent album is and his areas of improvement. To the point that I’m just gonna link PG Baby below. This ends up serving as just Continue reading

  • NO THANK YOU – Little Simz

    Quickly becoming, If not already, one of the best female rappers currently out. In a very nice turn, this album brings her singing along with her incredible, often introspective & always very well thought out lyrics. And damn, she can sing too! Seriously a rapper that all should be familiar with, especially if your taste Continue reading

  • Cheat Codes – Danger Mouse & Black Thought

    There’s really not too much for me to say on this one. It is good, objectively, but firmly in the not for me, but maybe for you tier. Very well constructed raps, cool beats, and certainly some songs I enjoyed, but not my style of rap. Favorite songs: Sometimes, The Darkest Part, No Gold Teeth, Continue reading

  • Slime Season 3 – Young Thug

    It had been than 5 years since I last let Slime Season 3 grace my eardrums. Some of these songs are timeless for Young Thug fans, and great intros for those not familiar – With Them, Memo, Digits. This album is tight and a great intro to Young Thug. Certainly not my favorite from him Continue reading

  • Call Me if You Get Lost – Tyler, the Creator

    I don’t know why I never listened to this one either. Sorry Tyler. To start, this album gets a huge boost for being another fucking album. It’s clear that Tyler, known music historian/fanatic/whatever, gives a shit about making an album and not throwing a bunch of songs in a random order and calling it a Continue reading

  • Acid Rap – Chance the Rapper

    A relisten – more than 5 years ago was last spin. Chance’s Acid Rap really put him on the mainstream after 10 day and at the time, helped his reputation a bit. I think many forget how polarizing Chance’s voice was – some people thought it was absolutely terrible and some loved it and his Continue reading

  • A$AP Rocky – At Long Last ASAP

    A relisten in my quest – more than 5 years ago. At Long Last ASAP is an essential album in the grand scheme of rap, and will never be replicated. God damn is it good, and you can really hear the influence of Rocky in so many different artists today. There are NY Rap cuts, Continue reading
