| 2 Chainz B.O.A.T.S. II #METIME | 3.0 |
| his sense of flow has gotten perfect this past year, his lyrics/wordplay aint great usually but they're entertaining and usually not trash anymore and some of the beats on here are some of the wildest of the year. maybe this will change but too many songs dont stick with me and too many of the beats are above average radio friendly trap for me to really be into tho |

| I give ferg the credit of being able to make a good sounding song when he wants. let it go, shabba, hood pope, dump n didn't wanna all sound good for the most part and I can vibe wit the verses. but for the most part ferg bases his rap career/lyrics off trendy "street/gangsta music" buzzwords and boring "new age indie trap beats" to make the whole album enjoyable and his delivery can be interesting at some times and at others he tries too hard to sound different and raps like a male nicki minaj. good songs bogged down by insincerity, studio gangsta-isms and trying to sound different too much. also the work remix sucks but the og work is my favorite ferg song, dat clean ya gun music |

I never thought I'd be so in love with a jazz hip-hop record so much since I kind assumed it
was all ATCQ knockoffs, and I actually don't like A Tribe that much. This is amazing, the
emcees both have so much charisma along with the catchy-yet-relaxed production. The slang
that seems made-up on the spot just makes some extra unf. Coolie High might be one of the
best hip-hop songs ever. Can't believe this isn't more of a classic. |

| chief keef has so much potential but he's just too content with puttin out sub-par songs. but I think this Chief Keef is the best chief keef. it's raw shit that just sounds like a dark night in southside Chi town and this is just a dude in a hoodie ready to come out the shadows and buss ya head open any second as opposed to the super catchy mumbly Keef on the album. Designer and I Don't Like are the best songs |

| Clams Casino Rainforest | 4.5 |
| Knowing he has no rappers to minimize his efforts or make him restrain himself on his production, he goes all out to produce a landscape of lo-fi, beautiful, hazy, drug-induced sound that uses eerie melodies, fuzziness, and imagery that really can make one imagine sprawling bright green foliage and rushing rivers and it makes the music just wash over you.rOh, and it's good when you're high, too. |

Amazing primarily pop rap/R&B with personal Drake twists and a story about a young man
thrust into his fame and having to assure himself that he's worth it. Not as artsy as So Far
Gone or Take Care but Aubrey and 40 still knew how to write fantastic poppier songs. |
| Drake Take Care | 4.5 |
ppl don't seem to get that Drake is more about musicianship than he is trying to be an
amazing rapper. He's a great songwriter and he includes so many great subtleties and subtext
in his lyrics plus goddamn the man can make an amazing melody. |

A further venture into his piano ballad-y side with a more tamed future garage sound. A
pleasant listen, but can just seem like another art-pop artist at times. He needs to delve
deeper into his CMYK and Klavierwerke days and bring back that. Though keep the vocals like
on his ST because those are gorgeous. |

| its hard to rate a good jeezy project cuz theres always gonna be a lil filler but the heights of the album are so high and usually the project as a whole jus speaks to you and is a war anthem against brokeness. trap or die reloaded is one of jeezys best tracks and talking/hood politics are my shit here |

album is pretty damn good, one of the best full pop albums in recent memory. I was really
skeptical when I heard shit like Mistletoe and that this would have some club/"dubstep"-
influenced production on some songs (which makes me throw up when mixed with pop), but he
made it work really well (holy shit did you hear that climax As Long As You Love Me and
Beauty and a Beat?).
He really matured musically and this has very little filler as opposed to My World 2.0, and
it feels a lot more cohesive and has the fantastic closer really makes this feel like an
album and not a collection of possible singles with some other stuff thrown in.
Some of the weak tracks include the opener and Take You (kind of gross generic "electro/R&B"
songs). Also the song with Drake is one of the best Summer R&B songs ever and the bonus
tracks are great. Bieber's on his way to progressing to step up next to Timberlake if he
keeps it up. |

lil wayne back on his hollygrove hood shit but this makes me think of a no ceilings sequel
more than a dedication sequel. his flow and delivery is a lot better and a much better beat
selection and while his lyrics dont infuriate me they dont stick with me neither or make me
spazz out like they'd do in his prime, it all sounds like generic street lyrics with some
pussy lines thrown in for good measure |
