REVIEW: BAS “Milky Way”

Bas dropped a album “Too High To Riot” in 2016 that is on my Top 20 of the past 10yrs. Yes! Top 20. That’s over a lot of great albums by a bunch of great artist. As a fan I was excited to see he dropped something new. I heard some teasers dropped here and there like “Boca Raton” ft. Asap Ferg and “Spaceships + Rockets”. I love when I look and I see something familiar in the new release section. This album is just as cool and breezy as “Too High Too Riot” It is a blend of melodies, barz and a vibe of Bas. The vibe is his original shit. I honestly don’t know any MCs with the same sound. He even references on the this album at bringing a new sound to New York. I think the Dreamsville cats sit in the studio together and vibe under the direction of J Cole and create the magic that the crew has been giving us. I have always said that some of the Dreamsville artist may possibly be dropping J Cole throw aways. A J Cole throw away is your favorite artist best shit. I could be mistaken and it could just be the influence of Cole that is rubbing the tarnish off some brass to these shined up treasures. My favorite joint on the album is “Fragrance” Ft. Correy C. The songs that feature Correy have a Cudi like vibe on the choruses. Not depressing Cudi but chilled Cudi. Bas and Correy blend together perfectly. I would personally like to hear a joint project from the two. Honorable mentions are “Infinity+2” and “Barack Obama Special” I could honorable mention this whole record. Vibez start to finish. The fact that the industry and world isn’t talking about this album really upsets me. I’m writing this review in hopes of it going viral and the world excepting the blessings of great music. It might be too much for the average listener. This shit is on another planet compared to whats being dropped these days. This shits on another galaxy. It’s a Milky Way.

REVIEW: Eminem “Kamikaze”

Well………………Bling goes off on the phone. Got a text. I could of possibly guessed an actual 1000 things other than what the text my brother Al One sent. “Eminem dropped a new album” He said. “Huh”??? I relied. Being I was still recovering from a “Revival” album that left me scratching my head right after bobbing the fuck out of it. I went from thinking what the fuck is Em thinking to calling Al One and trying to convince him that this is the greatest shit Eminem ever made. Such a beautiful confusion. I definitely would of appreciated the lapse in Em albums drops to be little longer than a year. I needed time to recover. But as soon as the hungover was ending I hit the bar and drank the Eminem juice again. I’m an Old Head. I will always root for Em. I wish he didn’t have to explain. I wish we didn’t have to consider what people are gonna think about the album as a major part of actually listening to the album. I would love to just listen. With Em you can’t. It’s very rough on the art. There are moments when you forget the story and get lost in the barz. Em is calling out fucking names on this album. Every mumble rapper gets it. Joe Budden gets it, Tyler The Creator, Lord Jamar and others that I will probably figure out after some more runs. Golden Era 2.0 has to have some of the “Old Guys” swinging for the fences and distancing themselves with HomeRun counts. This is a Homerun right after “Revival” went the distance but ended up foul. Slim Shady is back on “Kamikaze” He references the Mandalay Bay and Batman at the movie theatre on the “Greatest”. Em does the classic use of the popular styles and cadences of present rappers. It takes a true MC to pull it off. He does a good job of flipping the styles. It’s not needed in my opinion. But not a major turn off. It’s like a bad bitch with a chipped tooth. I still fuck with it with the minor flaws. He gives us the D12 story on “Stepping Stone” …Thank You!!! We now know why D12 is done. A couple of relationship joints “Normal” and “Good Guy” Features from Royce and Joyner Lucas. Over all this is a make up game for the one that was rained out by the critics and the expectations on “Revival”. I just hope people listen this time. For us Eminem fans. We need to stop trying to prove to the kids that how dope Em is and just enjoy the gift. When the world watched Ali fight, there was a point where they witnessed the greatest. There was a time where the same people watched Ali fade, lose to the younger fighter and slowly fade away. Still with the title as……… The Greatest.

Golden Era 2.0 is in full swing and the OG’s are making contributions on a regular basis. Nore has been blessing us with his presence through his Drink Champs podcast and food show “On The Road Eatin”. This week he blessed us with some new music. Nore has never blown us away with Barz. What Nore has done is blown us away with Brand. If you really think about it. Nore has been branding himself since the beginning. Nore’s brand is being a dope MC and as well as one of the coolest niggas you ever met. He always seemed like the rapper that was enjoying being a rapper the most rappers. Still to this day, Nore is cooling, smoking, kicking it with his peers and drinking beers. This album sticks straight to Nore’s Brand. He kicks it with some of his friends. Jadakiss, Fabolous, Wyclef and of course his Puerto Rican family Fat Joe. Alot songs about smoking, drinking, constantly grinding and enjoying this Hip Hop thang to the fullest. My Favorite joint on the album is “Big Chain”’ft Fabolous. This song is a baton passing to the next Old Head we need to hear an album from fucking asap. Fabolous!!! The beat is on some cathedral shit. Would love to throwback and give Fabo the Hip Hop quotable on this one. 🔥🔥. Honorable mention cuts are “Bendecion” ft Fat Joe. Nore and Joe toss the barz back and forth. Two Spanish cats that played a big role in the evolution of Hip Hop and it’s Puerto Rican presence. “No Reason” is a positive joint that isnt hella preachy. It’s an observation from a rapper that has used social media and the tech wave to his benefit. An observation of the problems with social media. Over all the album is a good listen and didn’t disappoint. After the song “La La La” ft Jadakiss and Wyclef. Nore says that “you don’t have to ride a wave if you provide the water” Nore been providing Hip Hop the water since day one and the water is 100 proof.

Ok......have you ever pressed play based on a album cover? Searching through the New Releases as I always do. I come across an album with what appears to be a black family. Father, child, mother, sister, grandma and grandpa. Artist name Buddy. First 30 seconds in i’m very familiar with the vocab. This is LA music. This isn’t your typical rap shit. This is some Harmonizing, this is G Funky, this is some holy shit!!!! What did I stumble onto?? I just digital dug and found treasure. Buddy is a modern 2018 Domino. For those who don’t know, Domino was a LA artist from the early 90’s. He had some success with his ability to harmonize as well as spit. Buddy is an advanced version of that. It’s hard to choose what you would rather hear him do. Rap or sing. Both styles are in point. My favorite joint is “Trouble On Central”. This is a song about being stuck in LA. If your from Cali like me, you have definitely more than once been “stuck in LA” Car broke down, it’s hot and the street is active. Oh what a beautiful adventure. This is that song. Honorable mentions are “Hey Up There” ft Ty Dolla $ign. We are use to Dolla $ carrying alot of the songs he is on. Not here. Buddy and Dolla blend perfectly. Also check out “Real Life Shit”. It is the opening track to the album and prepares you for the ride. A ride through Los Angeles California. You got a new fan Buddy.

REVIEW: Left Brain “Mind Gone, Vol 2: Gone, Never Forgotten” Did I ever tell y’all I think Hip Hop needs more weirdos? In this case more odd characters. Rappers that aren’t afraid to say things that might be considered kinda questionable? To be honest all I thought about when I was listening to this album was how much fucking fun they must of been having recording this shit. Left Brain is an artist that might slip through the cracks when the mainstream is more focused on Tyler and the purest more focused on Earl. Left Brain and OF producer Hodgy Beats don’t get the credit I believe they deserve. I don’t think they give a fuck. I believe it is the special thing they bring to the crew. If it wasn’t for a text from my brother The Pirate Al-One I probably would of missed this release. I keep my ear pretty close to the street. But why wasn’t anybody I knew anticipating this drop? Beats the fuck out of me! That’s odd. I can’t tell you much about Vol 1. I’m gonna be honest and tell you that I actually never heard it. I took a quick look and I believe Vol 1 doesn’t even exist!!! 😂 If y’all know me by now you know that I keep it 💯 AF and this music shit is a journey for me. Still. I don’t profess to know everything about everyone. Thats not me. Soooooo……that being said. The album. My favorite joint is “Rat Race” ft Go Dreamer. The beat reminds me of some Bay Area early 90’s E40 and the Click shit. It’s about the rat race we call the streets. A tale of people in a race for the money and what our OG’s always told us. Don’t get caught in the trap!! Honorable mentions are “Roll It Up” feat Takeflight & Sahtyre. The title in my opinion is a diss to simplicity. Every overused hip hop phrase in a “Smoke” record was cleverly used in the first verse. The shit is hilarious!!! I don’t know if I’m putting to much on it. Y’all tell me. Another joint I rock with is “Beaten Down The Block” feat L-Dog. This song was the text I got from Al-One pre release last night. I listened to it about five times in a row and became very familiar with it. I guess I really missed that Odd sound. Left Brain aint going for hip hop quotables. He is simply spazzin the fuck out!!!

REVIEW: Freeway “Think Free” Another veteran submitted his contribution to Golden Era 2.0. this week. When a lot of people think of The Roc. They think about Jay Z, Dame Dash, Beanie Seigel and Memphis Bleek. One of my favorites from the Roc squad had always been Freeway. I personally was drawn to his twang. The way Philly niggas talk. The way they pronounce certain words. Somebody rocking right now that has the same twang is Meek Mill. He has to be considered the first true bearded rapper. Still got the signature beard even though his physical appearance is showing affects of his kidney struggles. Struggles that I believe have given him an outlook on his approach to his creations. I don’t think It changes his approach on “life” This is the Freeway we know. Basically the Freeway that if you are a fan of, would totally be cool with hearing him drop some new shit. My favorite joint on this album is “Legacy”. There are quite a few features on this album. Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Lil Uzi Vert and Faith Evans. “Legacy” is a no feature, heart felt, melodic explanation of a Legacy. A legacy of a rapper that flew under the radar of one of Hip Hops most successful rap crews. In my opinion the mental strength of Roc Nation. Honorable mention records are “Blood Pressure” feat Lil Wayne. A quick pace joint that Freeway has always flourished on. The beat has a throwback feel. It works well when Wayne comes in shows us why we need a album from him ASAP!!!! I give honorable mention to all the features. The layout of the features and who is on what is dope. Faith with the beautiful chorus, The Kiss laugh, and Fat Joe hitting em with some vintage. The cherry on top would of been Meek Mill feature. None the less a solid project.

[uncle805]

REVIEW: Westside Gunn “Supreme Blientele” Westside Gunn has been the return of the grimy, hardcore gutter shit. Raekwon passed him the torch and now he out here smacking the game over the head with it. Signature automatic gun ad lib lace the album as well as an array extras that make what we know as the beautiful chaos of a Westside Gunn project. The wrestling sound clips and references are heavy as always. My favorite joint on the album is “Elizabeth” There is absolutely nothing like barz about shooting shit up and selling weight over a jazz record. The jazz loop is very familiar. Im kinda ashamed that I can’t pin point it. It has been flipped before. Maybe ATCQ, Guru, Jeru??? I am going to research it later. Gunn goes in on his little sing flow on the chorus. It ends with a wrestling sound clip that is left for the listeners interpretation. Why????? That is the question right? Honorable mentions are “Wrestlemania 20” feat Anderson Paak. There is a sample mixed with the new classic style of Paak that works well. It’s a small stage in the corner of a smokey dive bar joint. Production on this album from Pete Rock, Alchemist, Statik Selektah and 9th Wonder. Holy shit!!!!! If you love grime, grit and dirt. This album is pure hell. (Heaven) “Brossface Blipper” feat Benny and to my surprise Busta Rhymes. This is the sniff of Busta Rhymes that we needed to request a whole thang. Golden Era 2.0 needs a Busta album. There is a chaos on this album that might confuse you the first listen. After a few run throughs the dust settles and this can very well be considered a classic. Westside Gunn cut the game wide open with this one. Now I hope Hip Hop bleeds out music of this caliber. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[uncle805]

REVIEW: Freddie Gibbs “Freddie” Freddie Gibbs has to be one of the most consistent MCs in the game right now. He is constantly dropping shit. It takes talent to drop solid projects on a yearly basis. The first thing that catches my attention is the cover to “Freddie” It is a throwback to the 80’s and a Ode to Teddy. Pendergrass that is. If you don’t know who Teddy Pendergrass is #GetOffMyLawn. 😂 Freddie Gibbs might not blow you away with bangers front to back but he never disappoints and most definitely is not wack. My favorite joint is “2 Legit” A Mary J sample that is done perfectly. Gibbs spits a cadence that we are use to. I believe one of the dopest in the game with the choruses. “Arm N Hammer with the chicken 2 legit Yeah”.....get it? He still got the drug barz, still keeping it Freddie. Freddie doing what Freddie does. Honorable mention joints are “Death Row” feat Greedo. Alot of people are talking about this song which in my operation tends to make me gravitate away from the hype. There is a NWA “Boyz N The Hood” feel to the beat. Greedo even starts his verse with “cruising down the street in my” but........Greedo had some comments about Tupac being a bitch nigga recently......soooo, fuck him. Worst thing about the song was him being on it. His verse was cool. But young niggas dissing Pac get no love with me at all. Over all the song is a cool listen. “Death Row” is the second best joint on the album. Another joint I fuck with is “FBC” Fendi Buckle Coat. Another Gibbs chorus simplicity that works. I don’t even know what a Fendi Buckle Coat is. I know it must be fresh and clean. The song gives a vibe of freshness. It leads anyone listening to believe a Fendi Buckle Coat is something that a nigga rocking a open collar, tan coat with red pocket square on the cover would fuck with. That dope 💩. That fresh shit. The type of album that deserves a single word title...”Freddie”

REVIEW: Jay Z & Beyonce “Everything is Love” Well…………This is some of the pettiest, big brother, fuck your fort shit Hip Hop has ever witnessed. This aint even some “my music is better” shit. This some Jay Z is a better chess player, Jay Z is sneaky and Jay Z making Kanye and Nas punch themselves in the face while he ran away with towel to stop the bleeding.You can’t say the timing of this secret release wasn’t strategic. On some conspiracy shit. I bet Jay had something to due with the Nas upload issues. 😂 Nas shine was Haleys Comet. That shit flew the sky for a couple hrs and flamed out. Now……..What if all these players are in involved in one of the biggest power moves in music. Something more than music. This is a major piece to my self created Golden Era 2.0. It is a great time for Hip Hop!!!! The young fan might not feel the same excitement that some of us old heads feel witnessing this string of releases. But I fucking love this shit!!! Now the album….I have never been a huge fan of Beyonce. I do think Beyonce is dope AF. I just have never gravitated to owning or giving her music consistent play in my stereo. Even with Jay being my favorite rapper, I went into this thinking I wasn’t gonna like it. I was wrong. My favorite joint on this album is “Boss” Jay and B hit us with the boss barz. Beyonce kept my interest long enough to get to the Jay verse that best sums up the whole album reasoning in my opinion. I believe the message is to let everyone know who the culture bosses are. Jay Z and Beyonce. And boss talk is the talk of it being more than music. The culture is world culture and we need to stand up, understand it and express it. Fuck all the silly shit. This is shoe on the neck time. Honorable mentions are “Friends” I believe this joint can be debated and broken down to a dedication to old friends, business partners and family and most importantly Kanye. I look forward to seeing the discussion of this topic as well as the album in whole play out. I will be following it closely. As Im writing this review I have run threw the album multiple times. It just won album of the year. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5⭐️’s

[uncle805]

REVIEW: Jay Rock “Redemption”….. As if he needed to keep up, “Redemption” is a reminder that low key Jay Rock has always kept up with the rest of the TDE family tree. This shit here?? This is a level up in game!!! A level up in the bars, the use of many styles and rhyme schemes,the song concepts and the choruses. A to muthafucken Z. On a day when one the 🐐’s Nas dropped his highly anticipated Ye produced album. Jay Rock came through and for me personally stole the shine. It opens with “The Bloodiest” The joint that we have seen first visuals for. TDE is killing it with the visuals and the creative concepts. For Jay not to in the past be the artsiest one of the bunch. The art is there, the vision is there and the beauty of the streets is displayed in the video. The song pre visuals already prepped us for a street record as well as a theme of redemption. My favorite song of the album is “ES Tales” There is a Mario Bros coin sound effect in the beat that catches my attention. Jay spits in the perspective of the borderline older homie who bout that business but trying to change his ways. It has a “Colors” vibe to the beat. It is some rider music. If you are gonna jump in a car, ride around and get into some shit to any TDE release. This is the one. Another banger is “Knock It Off” It’s melodic and the rhyme scheme is dope. On a different note of rider music, this would be my smoke one too song of the album. Honorable mention joints are the title track “Redemption” featuring SZA with Kendrick in the belly (“in the belly, under the chorus belly) etc.... is my way of saying there is a feature that is not titled. “For what Its worth” is some more smoove shit. J Cole gives us a nice feature on “OSOM”. The J Cole feature is a testament of Jay Rocks peers recognizing the level up. Another song on this album that gives us the melodic Jay Rock in the pocket. Overall I give this album ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5⭐️’s 90% of this album going on my #GetaoffMyLawn2018 Apple Music Playlist. (If you got Apple Music you need to check that playlist) 🔥🔥🔥

REVIEW: Nas “Nasir” What a month for Hip Hop and music in general. A month that seems to celebrate the release of a records, the leaks of a album covers and what I am now dubbing the Start of the Golden Era 2.0. I have been noticing some flack towards Kanyes Production on this one. But I believe these are the best beats out of all the releases this month. Maybe because I am of a fan of dirty samples, which are plenty on “Nasir”. My favorite joint is “Bonjour” A song that sent me straight to Google to find out who the feature Tony Williams was. Kanye has displayed some sample reach in these latest projects to be applauded. Nas kicks the lyricist, business man, world traveler barz. Classic Nas floss on em but not to hard though. “Adam and Eve” hit us with “The Symphony” Marly Marl piano. One of the joints Nas stays in pocket on the album. In my opinion he swerves a little bit pocket wise on a couple joints. Honorable mentions are “Cops Shot The Kid” Kanye flipped a Slick Rick record again as he did in his album. Old Head bait!!!! Got me! 😂 Nas staying semi political and always the street watcher and new caster. Still a excellent visionary and story teller. “White Label” has another dirty sample and sounds like some 60’s rock record flip. I will look into that sample later. Nas is out of the pocket on this one but I have still gravitated to repeat plays of it since first listen. This album was anticipated the way it should of been. This album was hyped the way any Nas album should be hyped. This album absolutely lived up to all the anticipation and hype. I give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5⭐️’s.

[uncle805]

REVIEW: “Kids See Ghost” Kanye West and Kid Cudi. This record opens with a joint called “Feel The Love” It’s a hello……we are G.O.O.D. music and we are bipolar!! Kanye spitting crazy gun noises, Cudi signature one line, and a Pusha T verse pre beat drop. I never knew bipolar people were so talented. Just kidding. Of course I did. So far this was the GOOD release I looked forward to hearing the most. Mainly because I’m a huge fan of Cudi vocals and Kanye production. This project does not disappoint. Now I will selfishly admit to myself that now…….the Nas album being released soon is the one I have been looking forward to the most. 😉 This has low key been a historic run so far and I can’t wait to slap them all on one big playlist and let that shit roll the summer out. Ok. Back to “Kids See Ghost”. “Reborn” is my favorite joint. There is a Kanye verse that can be considered one of his best in some time. It touches a theme close to my heart and I believe to theirs as well. The topic of change, rebirth and overcoming stress and worry. This song touches me the most and meant alot to me personally. “4th Dimension” slipped past me at first. Then, as we always do. Me and my brother Al One as early as 7am begin our discussion. Texts back in forth on our thoughts, what songs we are feeling and the “you need to give it another spin”. The track “4th Dimension” was the joint Al told me to give another spin. He was right! It is the song on the album that gives us most of the boom bap. A perfectly mixed louis Prima sample and some throw back Cudi barz. Honorable mention is “Freeee Ghost Town Pt 2” is the glue that connects Kanye Album to this one. On some conspiracy theory shit Im going to put this run of G.O.O.D. Music album releases together and connect them to make some weird hip hop puzzle. “Freeeee” I believe has some Ty Dolla $ign in the chorus belly. Not sure. Imma research that later. I think that its dope that they are not labeling all features. Chess moves. This album is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5⭐️.

[uncle805]

REVIEW: Black Thought “Streams Of Thought. Vol 1” This was a record that I first heard about dropping a week ago. The news brought me a lot of excitement. Black Thought and 9th Wonder are dropping a project? Fuck yea!!!! I say fuck yeah is my equivalent of a laugh out loud 😂 . I read the news and out loud yelled “Fuck Yeah!!!”. As a huge Roots fan and with Black Thought being one of my personal favorite Mc’s of all-time. I couldn’t wait to hear this shit. I didn’t have to wait long. Remember about a month or so ago Black Thought murdering a segment of Funk Flex? I think he went in for about 10 minutes. Is this that “freestyle’ broken down into 5 joints? As I ran through the EP the first time the bars as far as I know are new. These are not those same bars from that freestyle. These are extra rhymes to the 🔥 he spit that day on Hot 97. If that is the case, Black Thought has enough in the pocket to release a full album. But the 5 we get on this EP will definitely do. Bars galore!! Black thought vocals have been one of the crispiest, clearest and understandable flows of all time. It is clear he has been killing shit for years. He has been very successful financially and he still has the ability to go bar for bar with anyone. The beats are Boom and Bap. The piano and the samples are there. It is a breath of freshness for Thought to bust over something other than the band. There doesn’t seem to be a structure. Well, the structure is beats and barz, hit em in the head for 20 minutes and leave them with their mouth dropped wanting more. My favorite joint is “9th vs Thought” 9th brings us the classic drum kick and Black Thought goes in. This is on some no chorus shit. It’s pauses for a quick knowledge drop by someone I’m unfamiliar with. The joint ends with the record physically being stopped. As if they could of kept going. “Making of a murderer” featuring Styles P gives us the break we need in Black Thoughts verbal assault. Styles P has been guest appearing on some heavy hitters this year. His verse doesn’t disappoint and validates the reason why. Styles P is a heavy hitter as well. Rhapsody features on “Dostoyevsky” and again gives us a an intermission, As far as crisp and clarity that Thought brings. Rhapsody in my opinion is the female version of the crispiness and clearness. As a Mc myself, this is a record that after you finish listening to, you will be inspired to break out the pen and pad. Read what you wrote, think about what you just heard and throw that shit in the trash! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5⭐️’s

REVIEW: Kanye West “Ye” So yes, I was sitting in front of my phone staring at some burning wood in Wyoming for a couple hours last night. I truly thought it was a pretty dope concept by Kanye to roll out a album. I’m watching the 🔥, I’m lit and waiting for some weird circle of people to sit and listen to Kanye’s Album. I guess? At the moment it was me and my brother Pirate Alone who was in Cali. We texted each other back in forth periodically. We both agreed to give a heads up if anything happened. Then…. out comes the crowd followed by Ye rolling through like Mayweather heading to the ring. Scanning the crowd you see some familiar heads. Nas, Kid Cudi, Ty Dolla, and what seems to be a crowd of the proper media and business folks. Pretty cool! Your lying If you low key didn’t wish you were there. No MAGA hat. It’s time to listen to some music and set the judgment aside…….for about 30 minutes. Until it was over. Now to the album. Kanye has always brought us whatever the fuck he wants to bring us. And somehow it sounds like some shit you have never heard. I honestly never want to hear Kanye rap over any other beats than his own. Well, maybe a few other producers would be interesting. But you know what I mean. Kanye puts these things together from scratch. Truly the essence of creation and art. Truly if you know voices and without a “Featuring” tag can recognize a collaboration of many individuals. It opens with “Thought about killing you’ It builds and sets us up for the record. A record that examines his inner mental more than any other album. It explores the inner mental of celebrity. The thin line between genius and insane. We have heard this analogy many times. But with Kanye it has seriously been a legit debate. After hearing this album I am still leaning more towards the genius. The arrogant Kanye is still there. On “killing you” he goes on and lets you know why he is even in the position in the first place. The music!!! Another banger is “Ghost Town” of course I would say that and of course I am gonna say again……..I can’t wait for Cudi album!!! Probably the best production and lay out on the album. The second longest joint on the album at 4:31. It rolls at different tempos and doors opened inside the song. Doors that open into the next feature. “No Mistakes” is my favorite joint on the album. You can always grab an Old Heads attention with a “Ladi Dadi” Slick Rick sample. Oh…and Charle wilson 😂 . It has the vibe of the song Kanye did with the video of Kim on the motorcycle, hair blowing in the wind and shit. Don’t remember the name. If y’all know me you know I don’t do research mid review. But yea. “No Mistakes” is my favorite joint. By a little bit though. I’m pretty even on the whole album. I just had to pick a “favorite”. Honorable mention is “All Mine” This song definitely coming to a strip club near you. These days you can’t go wrong with Ty Dolla Sign. He is what Micheal McDonald was to the 70’s-80’s and what Nate Dogg was to the 90’s-2000’s. Ty Dolla Sign always brings out something special in any joint he is a part of. “Wouldn’t Leave” has a vibe to it. It is a small response to everything going on with him in the media ands news. It is also a love song dedicated to Kim. I have never found anything wrong with a rapper rapping about being a husband and a father. Good shit Kanye. I give this album ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out 5. G.O.O.D. Music got me in a good mood with the ⭐️’s on the reviews lately.

REVIEW: Pusha T “Daytona” Pusha brings us this 7 song produced by Kanye movie about a drug king that metaphorically is rap king pin. The longevity of pushing weight to the longevity of pushing records can run side by side. It is a generations battle cry that this HipHop shit is still ours. It’s the realization of the once young Mc’s that could spit that have gotten older and can still spit. Arguably spit even better in their older age. Push T falls into this category. He is still progressing and with Daytona has put himself into the 🐐 category. He gives the younger hip hop generation a lashing that they should sit back and take. In the way your mom would call your uncle and he would show up on the block and get in your face. You have to respect it, deep down you know it’s the truth. And this truth.........is a banger!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I say 6 out the 7 songs are dope. “Come Back Baby” was the only one that could be skipped. “Santeria” is some Spanish, catholic, kilos hidden in bibles, guns under the pews music. The Spanish bridge is cool, the beat flip at the end is dope too. The song progresses and moves. Almost like it quiets down and then the gunshots ring out. My favorite joint is “The Games We Play” starts with the line “this aint a wave or a phase, cause all that shit fades” There are many mentions of “waves” throughout Daytona that caught my attention. Push goes hard on the boss bars. There also is a lot of mention of who this music is for and who it is not. There are alot of golden era references. There is the Purple Tape line, the “Aint no stoppin the Champaigne from poppin” to the grew up on legends from Yonkers line. There are so many!!! “Hard Piano” has a lackluster Rick Ross verse. “What would Meek do” is dope. Ye drops some barz that seem like were written after the TMZ “slavery was a choice”interview. I believe Ye is orchestrating what is gonna be a historic couple of months. Daytona, His own project, Cudi and Nas. Woooooo!!!! Daytona is getting off the ground pretty successfully. Production on Daytona is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the album is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ front to back 🔥 My Album of the year so far.

REVIEW: Asap Rocky “Testing” Asap kicks down the door with the first track “Distorted Records” with a beat to match the title, Distorted. The barz are above average and not the extravagance we are use to lately from him. A kind of grime that we are not use to with Asap. But for an Old Head like me it definitely is a head lifter. It made me want to hear what was coming next. The album kicks in the door, runs around the house breaking shit and slows down a little bit towards the end. For me who is someone that isn’t a huge Asap fan. I do respect his music and fuck with most of the shit he puts out. He is just not a “in rotation” for me. One thing that caught my attention is the album cover and how it reminded me of Smif N Wesson “Dah Shinin” and Onyx “Bacdafucup” covers. Is he paying homage? Don’t know, kinda cool thing that I noticed. Another joint I fuck with is “Praise the lord (Da Shine) feat Skepta. Da Shine???? Smif N Wesson “Dah Shinin” Some more homage?? Idk. Old head conspiracy theories. 😂 The beat is peter piper and gets stuck in your head. Asap rides it and it is a song that I will transfer to my infamous 2018 playlist. Skepta doesn’t ride the wave as smoothly as Asap but definitely was a decent feature. There is a song called “Buck Shot” some more Boot Camp Clique love?? “Asap Forever” featuring TI, Kid Cudi and Moby is dope. Always good to hear Cudi with his signature cadence. (Can’t wait for his shit to drop next month) Rocking with Moby is a blend of genres that I have aways been a big fan of. You can definitely recognize the Moby moments of this joint. Pretty dope! Songs that get honorable mention are “Purify” feat Frank Ocean and “Gunz and Butter” featuring Juicy J. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5
