Tical

Puh - nothing for my ears. Some beat on each song. No, I'm not a hip-hop fan

Nope!

I also gave this hip-hop/rap album a chance. I can't get anything out of the genre.

ugh! 👎🏼

I would give it zero stars

Not my kind of thing

DNF: I really wanted to give it an honest try, but I only made it about halfway through. I really want to read the 5 star reviews to see what people love about it, but the lyrics are just so hard for me to get into. 1 star for now, but I might update after another listen if the high reviews intrigue me.

A hard pass

when listening to music i‘m really not listening to the lyrics but more to the vibe/feel and melody. so lyric heavy music like rap/hip hop is rarely my thing like in this case. Some head-nodding beats on this but nothing’s really standing out to me

The violent lyrics made it impossible for me to enjoy this album. Not my thing.

Incoherent mess over a drum machine.

I’d rather have a root canal than listen to this again.

First listen Saved 1/13

The background tracks were atrocious in my opinion, with “Mr. Sandman” as an example of a particularly terrible one.

I finally noticed the essence of gangsta rap is that you have to claim you constantly smoke weed but you can never claim to enjoy it.

Meh.

So incredibly boring and one dimensional

Pretty lackluster and boring, even compared to other hip hop albums I’ve heard on the list.

More rap. The world already has too much. This is rubbish.

Man, this list just loves to sneak in all the Wu-Tang members one by one don't they...and I haven't liked a-one of them (Raekwon, Ghostface, Wu) - I could go back and try to connect lines between them but who cares. As for Method Man...I'm not a fan of his rapping (monotoned), and I don't like the production (almost lo-fi bass heavy) nor much of the music on this one. Sounds like a winner! 2/10 1 star

♾️

Ugh. Double dose of rap. I just can't enjoy this genre.

Look, I like Wu-Tang. Saw them at the Enmore. And I liked the RZA album we rated - Liquid Swords(1995). But I found this repetitive & boring. And the Gloria Gaynor re-write was rubbish. Can’t believe this was so successful.

1/5 Ugh. I hate this. I don't like rap on the best of days, but repetitive off key singing, with n-bombs being dropped constantly.... Is a whole new low. I have heard of Method Man, but I didn't know I was going to be so disappointed. I kinda liked All I Need. It was a "love song" so that makes sense. Overall, just talentless pointless angry droning.

Sounds like a very tedious production in a genre I best avoid.

I don't like when people take other people's songs and dramatically change them.

o.o wut 0/10 no brain lyrics

I'm on a 1 star review roll so sorry Method Man.

Boring and valueless

Pass

It isn’t my kind of music, couldn’t listen tot the whole album….🙁

not my thing

Rubbish Cover art 1/5

Part de la que sembla tan inevitable com innecessària quota de hip hop random i sense interés de la llista dels 1001

Not for me.

Hip-Hop. Ya know one - ya know 'em all. 1/5

Met HipHop moet men bij mij van goede huize komen wil het indruk maken. Method Man komt helaas uit een achterstandswijkje...

Bah...

This project has helped me to be more open-minded about music and to find stuff I like in genres I'd mostly rejected, such as heavy metal and hip hop. I have found albums I really like and have learned to distinguish between sub-genres. (Hip hop is a really broad category, I've found.) For example, I've learned that I am much more inclined towards West Coast Hip Hop than East Coast. To quote Wikipedia, "In contrast to other styles, East Coast hip hop music has prioritized complex lyrics for attentive listening rather than beats for dancing." I like dancing better. I attentively listened to the lyrics of this album, and other than the occasional Schoolhouse Rock reference, I found them distressing...and maybe not so complex. Violent, destructive lyrics without a whiff of humanity or redemption, accompanied by a complete lack of catchy beats to make you want to move. You can't win them all, and there are reasons I thought I didn't like hip hop. This is exhibit A.

Too dark for me! I only really listen to upbeat hip hop, and even then it's not my favourite, so I'm not surprised that I didn't enjoy this one. Mary J. Blige came in at the end and saved it a little with 'I'll Be There for You/You're All I Need to Get By'.

nah

Not my sort of thing at all.

I don't like this one either

Niet mijn muziek

Boring and bland.

No. This just reinforced my idea that this kind of music is dick-swinging about how cool the vocalist is, whilst never actually contributing a memorable melody or possessing a good voice.

Language

Are you fucking kidding me?! No way.

meh

Gangster N-word garbage

method man's public personna kinda makes you want to like this. but nope. this shit's cringe whack

Black person

Just listened to a bit of the first song. Not for me. Don't get it.

Nope

Really not my thing

Some catchy bits but not for me. What's with the piano in a different key?!

Rap raro de cojones

Very boring repetitive beats. Decent transfers between tracks. Sorry method man, not interested.

Didn’t like it. I feel so removed from this music that I don’t feel qualified to offer any commentary at all.

Excellent
