| 3.2 good | Erwann S. STAFF | November 20th 20 |
Jazzy and smoky atmosphere, hard-hitting beats, that fat Bri'ish accent: Coops knows how to create an ambiance. However, some tracks trap themselves in a canvas that shouldn't exceed the two minutes length. Indeed, repetition is the album's greatest fault, as many tracks simply cannot propose more than what is premised on their first minutes. The tracks that work the best are those that manage to envelop you in a grimy atmosphere, like "Floating", or "One of Da Best".

Typical example of a record that has dope individual tracks but that suffers from erratic construction. The mixtape effect is strong. I supposed these are mostly covers because I recognise so many samples/melodies but idk. 1's cool with its dub vibes, not too convinced by 2-3, 4's a bit better and darker but eh, 5 has cool backing vox processing but otherwise reminds me a bit of those like two Turkish rap songs I know, 6 is a huge chill jam, 7 starts on too iconic a sample for comfort but is cool thereafter, 8 is a semi dig with its creepy vibes, 9 has post-apocalyptic nocturnal vibes and while it's not a jam I like it, 9-10 shows how there is no connection between tracks as 10 goes back to jollier modernity but ends up merely alright, 11's meh, 12 is kinda chill but still not super convincing, 13's just a skit sure, 14 is the most 90s beat of the lot, 15's a sweet chill track, 16 is fun gangsta sorta rap, 17 feels Mobb Deep which I dig obviously but I don't feel like it holds the distance, 18 despite unfortunate lyrics is smooth and cool, 19 is just regular hip hop but good again, 20-22 are all dope with great/interesting instrumentals, and 23 is a nice chill conclusion track. The album ends up on a strong note which brings it up a fair bit. So basically 1,6-9,14-16,18-22 are to maybe retain (hey it's a good chunk) and the rest will remain faint memories. 3.1
