"what's the deal with rap music? I mean are they talking... or are they singing?"

Ben Shapiro that you?

>eg calling fantano a coloniser
ahh the real answer to my pg 1 question 'wha happen'

>some of the double standards and u-turns in the messaging here grating or no?), lending it to a marmite response
I've always heard marmite as that yeast extract; apparently it's also : from French, of uncertain origin. Scholars no longer believe that this derives from Old French marmite ‘hypocritical'

Album Rating: 2.5

"when this first came out the shit-stirring part of me wanted to argue that the reason people weren't liking the beats on this one compared to RAP Music is that this one was trying to appeal to a Black audience this time around, which is facile but I kinda think there's something there when you consider the RTJ fanbase ya know?"



the beats are like far and away the best thing about this tho

Album Rating: 3.0

The guest spots are pretty great too.

Album Rating: 2.5

keep everything else the same but sub mike for freddie gibbs or pusha t (two guys who occupy the same space and rap about a lot of the same topics) and this is probably a 4.0



mike is just fucking annoying and contradictory and just does not do a good job here

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah, coming from RAP Music and RTJ to this threw me off hard. The beats and features are nice, but the complete 180 in tone from what he talks about before just didn't sit right with me. Album feels like it goes on forever, too, but that might just be me.

R.A.P. is a goddamn classic so this one isn't beating that

But I think I like this album more than like everyone here lol

Album Rating: 3.0

When this is good it’s SO good but it’s definitely a slog here and there

Yeah I can see the slogs occasionally but like, I dunno man

I really really really dig this lol

These mixed reviews are making me feel lonely

Seeing double

Album Rating: 3.5

i mean RAP Music is definitely the superior album but this is a solid release, I always liked Killer Mike on the mic more than EL-P so I'm down to hear more of him

Best rap album grammy lol

he even got arrested for it!

Album Rating: 1.5

Less about this winning a grammy more about how people think it's good
