Well, I think this is my favorite RTJ album thus far, but it seems to have the same problems as the first two. There are elements that I love, and then there is some cringey shit that seems like it should have been really easy to avoid, but for some reason is just there. This would be more okay if it was from song to song, but both sides of these guys seems to be present in like every song. It's really frustrating.



I think Killer Mike has some awesome verses at points, but for some reason he seems to prefer autopilot for most of the album. I think the people that hate this really overlook some of its better qualities and cling to the cringe (which granted there is plenty of). And I think the people that seem to think RTJ can do no wrong just focus on the highlights. I dunno. Something about these guys. They're always a mixed bag, almost more so than any current rap artist I can think of.

Give me three examples of what you think are the most cringey moments on this - just interested if I agree.

Album Rating: 3.0

1. Well tracks 2-4 all sound like they're intro/hype tracks, which are already sort of unnecessary on their own, but they do it three times in a row. I don't get it.



2. The fucking unironic airhorns in Oh Mama. It's 2017. Stop.



3. And then there are just lines sprinkled throughout. It's hard to pick one at random. They're mostly during the hooks, but not always. "G-O-L-D, G-O-L-D, that's gold". Chanting "RTJ" should be reserved for live shows, and even then it shouldn't be the crux of the song.



Those are just off the top of my head.

1. I agree on this, they should have dropped track 2 (forget its name right now), Ticketron is the best thing on the album imo so that's the one to keep if only one stays



2. 'Oh Mama' is the cringe track, I don't rate it at all. The album should be 4 tracks lighter.



3. Things like the "G-O-L-D, G-O-L-D" I'll agree aren't amazing but nothing the Beastie Boys would have worried about using, etc. It doesn't add much but it doesn't exactly detract in any way for me.

'Chanting "RTJ" should be reserved for live shows, and even then it shouldn't be the crux of the song.'



funny enough, that might have been the part where I started to realize I really liked this album

You have to have that bit in Ticketron agreed, I always liked the 'crowd noise' part of Refused's 'New Noise' and similarly you need the crowd to chant here

Album Rating: 4.5

somehow I never noticed the airhorns in oh mama, maybe since it's a pretty uneventful track in general. definitely a bit cringey

THANKS FOR THE RANSOM, HANDSOME, LET MOM KNOW THE GUYS LOVEED HER PUMPKIN PIE

Most of killer mikes verses sound like non-clever freestyles



"I hope I hope I hope with The highest of hopes that I don't sell dope"



El-p actually has some really good verses but it's all overshadowed by his lame ass politics



Killer Mike fell off HARD. I honestly don't think he had a single decent verse on here. Best example is Danger Room. El-p does one of the best verses ever, then Filler Mike comes on and starts rambling about The Lord. He should honestly retire and become a full time communist shill for Bernie, and this is coming from someone who 5d RAP Music
