Listening now

It’s pretty good so far, I appreciate that JID is actually a competent rapper unlike most of the popular stuff these days. At the end of the day Rowan-core is generally a lot better than mumble rap, even if it’s still not quite the future for hip-hop that I’ve been craving

Did you get a chance to dive into Conway at all?

I’ll do it right after this. I’m starting to come to the conclusion that I might just be a bit too old for this new gen of hip hop. The rapping is perfectly competent, the production is great, but there’s still just this sort of weird inexplicable disconnect. Like I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this new JID album but I still probably will never listen to any of it ever again. It just doesn’t feel like it was ~made for me~ if that makes sense.

I feel like if I was younger and still had that lifestyle of my early 20s it might be different

Edit: I have one bad thing to say and that’s that money is a bad song and doesn’t fit on the album at all

Actually I’ll probably listen to sistanem and stars a few more times

Those two ended up in my playlist, but I honestly liked everything else aside from Money. I just dont know what circumstance I’d listen to the whole album again and I didn’t quite feel like putting anything else in my playlist

I think I’d appreciate the catchiness of it if it didn’t interrupt the flow so badly. It seemed like such a jarring placement. When it started I wondered if the album had ended and Spotify had started shuffling his other tracks lol. And I thought the cohesiveness and narrative feel of the album was otherwise a strength of the album which made that choice all the more odd

Album Rating: 4.0

still love this album, just came back from holiday, time to check the new one.... avg score is exciting

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

New one is way better than this IMO, this is mostly braggadocio bars and super hype beats which is fun but it doesn’t have a crazy amount of replay value bc of that

Album Rating: 4.0

Upon a few listens I feel like the highs on this one are better than on forever but as a whole forever is better and more consistent with a lot of bangers.



Jid's flow and versatility is just nuts tho, really appreciate have this guy around
